I think it all comes down to the team with the most "Pressure" applied... Freo absolutely choked the living out of Sydney.
It's certainly a big ground, at least you can move it wide if your getting closely attended to...would be hard though to maintain the rage for four straight quarters. hawthorn have shown this year though that they can weather sustained periods of pressure and then when it drops of a little then the Hawks pile on quick goals. Contrary to popular belief (and delusions) Hawthorn can play contested football. Hawthorn will be a different proposition at this time of year compared to last, seeing as last year they were playing catch up football all year after a slow start and basically limped over the line into the grannie. Far better management of players this year and their run has been better timed.
Only if they pay the electricity bill + have a lot of paper &ink. then something to write about that's interesting. then yeah the Freo press should work. i can't see why not? Cheers.
It works for the Hawks so lets see if it works for Freo.
