When the pressure is on...

The following players will continue to let us down:

SIMON BUCKLEY
Chris Dawes
Darren Jolly

Buckley should never play again. Jolly needs to harden up or make way for Wood. Dawes needs to be in the VFL to regain form.

I really hope the people who rave on about Buckley after he picks up 30 touches against Melbourne watch this game. He will never perform under pressure and should not play again.

No arguments from me i expect the usual Dawes supporters to march on in here he's like a protected species in these parts

Our mids broke even I thought, which in my mind is a loss... on paper we should have smashed them in the mid.
Our defenders are horrible 1 out. Harry... omg, Betts cleaned him up again.
We had NOTHING up forward. Cloke seemed to spend half his time up on the wing. Dawes is horrible. Our "small" forwards did nothing at all. All we did was bomb it in, then have it cleared out.
More injuries and Wellingham out for a few weeks.
Far out.

Glad Im leaving the country on Monday.

We just looked so slow, and no intensity.

Cloke missed a sitter that would've put us in the lead.

Not even worth 700k if he can't kick sitters.

We need pace. I'm not sure if Dawes is out of form, or if he is just shit. I leaning towards the latter.

From such a poor all round performance, I'm really not sure how you can pick out only 3 players.

OK Buckley is easy to replace but who plays the back up ruck role if you dump both Jolly and Dawes. Not much thought goes into venting I understand.

Marty Clarke was incredibly fumbly. I would have thought he'd have got a mention here. Reid was terribly out of sorts.

Wellingham is gone. Will be weeks. Not sure of his current record but a clean sheet won't hurt him.

We got smashed in the middle by a far hungrier team...a midfield of very ordinary players outside Judd.

Cloke. Man up. Take 600k per year (a ridiculous amount of money). Stop fvcking our club over. Sign. Or don't. Do you really want to live in perth??

I picked out these three players because they've have proven records of being under-performers when the pressure is really on in the past two years. Cloke, Reid, Swan, Sidebottom, etc have all performed in big games in the past. They have runs on the board and I'm not going to lay the boots in because they've underperformed in one match.

Buckley I agree, I have no idea how he gets selected but the other two have actually won us games when the pressure was on.

I see them do this all the time, handball (or throw) out of a stoppage and 9 out of 10 they've got a couple out there and they're running.

Ok I will prob piss a lot of you off here but here goes and this has been bugging me for awhile
Steele Sidebottom has his fancy little dinki kicks under pressure which go about 10 meters to a contested area gets turned over instead of going to a longer target (kick the shit out of it) its so xxxxing annoying he does it week in week out, he needs to stop trying to be the x factor and leave that to daisy and dids (when fit)

half the freaking team went missing. Maybe a FLU can explain the crap I just witnessed.

Really don't know how Cloke can justify his demands for 800k and 5 years when he consistently misses the easiest shots.

So, if we calculate the next ten wins in a row from here, how far into the finals does that get us?

Still would have liked to see mooney have another run

I just did a quick count - we're due to lose again in the GF. Man, this season is shithouse...

Now that I have calmed down.

We were outplayed, out hussled, out tackled by a team that played better on the night. Got killed in clearances and trust us to play Yarran back into form along with others. He was allowed to roam free all night with no pressure.

Buckley costs us 2-3 goals every game, tonight continues that trend.
Clarke continued on from where he left off two weeks back, that is, very poor.
Cloke can't play with decent defenders on him, and then missus sitters from 15 metres out that kills momentum. Yet he wants more than $700,000 for 4 years. He must be kidding, the more weeks that go by, the less I care if he goes.
Carazzo beat Beams, forgiven for a bad game, but will need to learn how to play the tag when Pendlebury is out.

With danger games coming up against Geelong and Hawthorn, all of a sudden we're in danger of missing top 4.

I'm with you on Cloke , never beaten a decent defender , freo must have withdrawn that offer by now surely.
