A loss could leave you in more precarious position than the US Government is in with its debt crisis.
This means that if you’re desperate for a win to make or stay in the eight, the trades you make, or don’t make, are of extra importance this week.
Hopefully, you are not $14 trillion in debt in your DT bank, allowing you to play around a bit with your choices. Here are three tips on Freo Dockers that could help you in your quest for August glory:
1. If you don’t have Greg Broughton in your backline, and you have the cash to get him, get him. Fremantle’s injury woes have meant he has become a regular midfielder, which makes him as indispensable as hair mousse in the 80s. Broughts averages 104 DT points a game against the Saints, so the runs are on the board.
2. If you don’t have Nat Fyfe, you are on the wrong page so CLICK HERE to return to the homepage.
3. You are as faithful as a Catholic nun and still have Paul Duffield in your team. If you are in this boat, you probably need divine intervention or a superhero to help get you over the line. Well, never fear, Duff Man is here!
Yep, that’s right, you heard it here. Paul Duffield, despite disappointing DT performances this year and a shock-horror sub appearance in round 18, is in DT Heaven, pardon the pun, when he faces the Saints.
He scored 120 against them at Patersons earlier this year, and in 2010 he got 101 at home and a whopping 135 away.
After some hard-hitting, investigative journalism, it is now clear what it is that inspires Duff whenever he sees red, white and black.
If you delve deep into his past, you will discover that he made his AFL debut against St Kilda in round 5, 2006. What’s so significant you say? Does the term ‘Sirengate’ mean anything?
Yes, poor Duff’s introduction to AFL football was a win, then a loss, then a win again, all in the same game! He has obviously made it his life’s mission to score as many Dream Team points as he can against St Kilda as a form of retribution for the events of that fateful day in Tasmania.
Well, good luck to all of you still in the race for the eight. For the rest of you, no doubt the planning has begun for 2012.
