2014 non Freo games

[Quay Club]

Glass will get time from the MRP for elbow to the head on Wingard, left the ground and high contact. If Fyfe got two he should get at least 3!

Saints by 28, haha.

Will they blame the heat again today? Or the outs?

Matt White always seems to kill it at Subi. He should come and play for freo

 

[samFFC]

Port play an attractive brand of footy these days.

So so many turnovers this quarter though. Completely dominating , and no scoreboard pressure.

 

[samFFC]

Game over SCHULTZYYYY

Eagles get another reality check.

The heated stuffed up both Freo and Essendon .Both sides had the heat,travel and a 6 day break.

And, as I predicted, (barring an unexpected GWS big win) we finish this round exactly where we started it.

Thankfully, it seems that the even competition predicted before the season may just be coming to pass after all. The trick for us will be to keep our heads above the fray just enough to maintain the top 4 push, which I do believe is possible.

Yeah but Essendon weren't trying when they played us. They were preparing for St Kilda, their coach said.

Yeah not really buying that - Swans had to play in pretty tough conditions last Sunday as well, same 6 day break. Sure no travel, but as RTB said in the press conference, the team pulled up fit, a fit 22 was picked, and a fit 22 started. Plus we had Fyfe and Mayne as in's, who hadn't played last week.

Won the second half as well, so we didn't run out of legs, we were outplayed in the second quarter, and failed to capitalise on our chances in the first. Which wouldn't be affected by the heat.


Essendon are just not as good as everyone seems to think they are.

Freo travel either to or from a game every week. Crazy to think the 6 day break plus the heat and travel would not affect them
I read a quote from I think M Malthouse that the WA sides have to be 10% better than the Vic sides

Preparing for Anzac Day in fact.

6 days breaks have zero impact on win/loss across hundreds of games. Likewise the 'travel back from Perth' myth, where almost all teams win (or lose) the following week based on the quality of the team. There's not enough evidence on whether heat has an impact.

We were outplayed by Sydney in 2Q after failing to capitalise when we outplayed them in 1Q. Essendon just got ahead of themselves against a spirited side that plays Docklands very well.

Pretty hard to get a handle on anyone's form, except for Hawks and maybe Geelong. One week Sydney, saints, Richmond are crapola, nek minnit....

That's the thing - we do it every week. So why would this be different? Next week is a 6 day break again. Will we excuse a loss to North?

Yep, it's definitely an excuse, and I'm sure it's one which Lyon (and the players) won't allow.

Hopefully Dogs can knock Carlton off today and get them to 0-5, I want to see Malthouse eventually get sacked!

 

[Kram]

If Fyfe went Douglas has to go for that hit.

His head will explode before they give him the DCM.

It was 25m off the ball too and Ward was not ready. Absolute cowardly act that would be reportable without the head clash. Because the system is stuffed one week.

lol umpire Matt Pannell shepherding for Adelaide now.

Great can't wait to play Adelaide

Beating up St Kilda and GWS isn't exactly a claim. Down hill skiers.
