That kick from Gu to Pav in the 4th was pure class

I did LOL that your Squillion dollar forwards were held to 1 goal 3 in a half of footy.
Yes, agree. Plenty to work on, but who isn't thrilled given our 4-0 start? We may not feel like we're miles ahead of Sydney, Port or the Hawks but we are ahead on the scoreboard.
Fyfe the really only strength in the midfield. Hill had one good quarter, Mundy turned it over a lot but got it a bit, Barlow and Neale hardly seen.
Really liked the efforts of our unsung players - Clancee, Clarke, Suban and deBoer.

No need to be a campaigner. He was gracious in his post here.

Unbelievable game considering he most of the time had 4 swans hanging off him in packs and could still get it out. If only he could improve his set shot goal kicking... But hey another 3 brownlow votes.

Was just having a laugh. I watched the game with a Bloods supporter.And we have been geeing each other up all night.
Mate I loved watching Horse using Tippett as a forward tonight and enjoyed the last half more than the first.

I watched the port vs hawks game as well. Scarily similar game. Good effort all round.
One positive is that WA gets to save some water since Buddy doesn't have to hit the showers with the bath McPharlin gave him.
Edit: Also, Pav's dominating influence in the forward line will be truely missed when he retires. Just watching him take those big marks and kicking clutch goals in high pressure games is something really special.

What were we doing with Lachie??
What was our common rail diesel clearance machine doing at half forward when we were getting spanked out of the middle??
I didn't get it.
How good was Clancee! A fit Clancee is an excellent addition to our side.

Anyone have the clearance numbers for after half time? That was appalling the ease in which Sydney were winning it out of the middle. We also need to fix up our decision making going forward. The number of times Mayne had Grundy on him and our midfielders were putting it on his head was ridiculous. the butchering of 2-3 goal attempts trying to be cute with some short passes inside 50 in the last quarter was frustrating as hell.
I made the same comment at the game. Someone screwed the pooch there whether it was the players on the field or someone in the box.

Yeah, last quarter finishing has seemed like an Achilles hell for a while now. I think we tried the bolded because we've been burned in the past when taking potshots from 50 and we lament how our players never "lower their vision", but honestly I'd probably prefer them to back themselves in from that range or back in our now taller forward line to take a grab close to the square than try dinky 15-20 metre kicks in heavy congestion.
Tonight it wasn't even heavy congestion in the last quarter, Sydney had the entirety of their team save Franklin parked in our defensive 50, very difficult to pull off passes in those circumstances unless you're Hill or Walters; neither of whom got nearly enough of the footy in dangerous areas.

Johnson was running sore before the game but he has so much heart and kept going all night .
Hats off to Sydney the way they responded in the second half .
That was finals quality football and we got the job done .
RTB and his assistants have this team going in the right direction .
Muz has to start next week and I would be resting Johnson so that he is firing on all cylinders for the Essendon game .

Wouldn't worry too much about that. I traded him into my Fantasy team a few weeks ago.
Will trade him back out this week, so he should be right as rain from then on.

Atrocious. McVeigh especially was just dropping off the back and it spilled directly to him 3 or 4 times. Disgusting bounces and well done by Sydney getting that extra man off the back of the stoppages, or at least it seemed that way. Our ability to handball ourselves out of trouble in a contested area absolutely pales in the face of their ability to do the same thing. At least in the 2nd half.
What is the bet next time we play them Rohan starts instead of being sub and they play him and buddy high up on the HF line. Rohan killed us tonight with his size and speed when they got quick ball out of the middle.

What a game, just home from a big celebratory drink.

Shout out to Clancee for his double effort in the 2nd going back with the flight then diving on the hard ball while winded.
If Hodgey did that it would be a 5 minute segment on every Monday footy show.

Hi guys been a while...
Just watching Lyons presser and he was alluding to some of the guys having head colds.
Is that a possibility? maybe Barlow he was a little off.
Walters is not having the impact he usually does.
Looking forward to seeing the boys next week in Melbourne.
4 zip wow wee so good to be a freo supporter right now.
Loved the way the guys iced the game tonight. All class.

Welcome back Ferntree Freo!
A cold would explain the down performances of a few. Question is ddo they get dropped for a bad performance for the return of players like Ballas, Sheridan, Crozier or Silvagni.
