That's 134 points difference in attack, and 148 in defence. That suggests their defensive game is good, but we have the attack to beat them.
The Shockers have had a hard start to the year, playing Port, St Kilda and WCE - three of last years top 8 and each expected to go top 6 this year, in three quite dour and hard fought games. Then they played Richmond, but I can't udnerstand that one. Each of the first 3 games have been low scoring, and close, with Freo unlucky to miss out. Don't underestimate them based on the Tigers game, they are a class side, at home, and have been given a rocket.
Josh Carr is a huge plus to them. We'll need someone on him, plus Heath Black cannot be allowed like Stuart Dew to deliver freely into their F50.
