2016 Non Freo discussion

[DMan 11]

Nearing HT and Brissie are doing the Cats comfortably, 32 points atm. Would bring me much joy to see them get completely wrecked.

Think u may have it round the wrong way ??

[Kram]

Geez I hope Murphy is not hurt too bad.

 

[MadDocker]

Damn. Murphy going down is going to hurtthe Doggies. Hope they get up here.

 

[DMan 11]

Sicily clinch goal.
Cmon dogs

 

[Inveigh Slang]

Brilliant game. Footskills leave Freo and West Coast for dead

 

[rodney hoo]

Great game, f...ing Hawks just no how to do it.

Know doubt about that.

 

[G Mus]

Bulldogs couldn't even beat Hawthorn with a few massive outs and at home, draw a line through them

 

[ImperialPurple]

Watching that game now makes me laugh at just how far off it we are... Suban, Mzungu, Clancee, de Boer, Barlow, Mayne, Spurr - slow, poor skills, average decision makers; all of them suffer from at least two of the three... It's a different game being played and these guys aren't up to it.

I thought your term for these types was the 'dumbarses'.

Neither team broke 100..

We better hope Clarke gets back soon if Sandi out, griff or Hannath could not go with any of the 4 out there today. The mobility of ruckman these days is very good .

Yes we now have the full and total emergence of the Dumbarse Brigade Mk II ...

Also says something about Lyon's ability to squeeze the juice out of a lemon.

 

[Kram]

Guys like Dodd, Peake, Schammer and Thornton were the core of the originals iirc.

Surely Gilmore and Murphy would be in there.

Exactly.
That is why even making finals this year is pointless.
We need to find out if our young talent can provide what we need and even if they don't make it, we still need to draft what we need. We cannot continue with that group of players above.
Stevie Wonder can see that.

 

[PowerToThePurpl]

still burns me up watching Adams play at the dogs

Well, Yarran kicked 5 on him in the WAFL GF, Adams playing well is my excuse to how good Yarran can be. Fingers crossed.

 

[freo_leo29]

At least until we get to see the Shane Yarran dividend.

We didn't pass on Adams to get Yarran though? We chose Tucker and probably hoped that Adams would be there at 38 but he got snapped up earlier then expected at 35

 

[Taylor]

I take no satisfaction in seeing the player I wanted us to pick with our first choice play like a gun in the exact position we could use him right now after he was taken by another team.

It frustrates me so.. so much.

 

[Scham]

Could've got him 12 months earlier though.

They were the core but Mayne, De Boer and Suban were on many peoples lists and they escaped the cull. Ross's previous game plan hid them but now they're being flushed out.

Funny. Three years ago, Mayne was a dead eye with his set shots. His efforts and skills meant that he was very useful.
Admittedly when he first started he wasn't as accurate, but you are trying to rewrite history if you are arguing that those three players were part of ImperialPurple 's dumb arse brigade.

Same with Suban. He was praised as a long kick and an agrressive young mid. Future captain material; at least until we saw him sweating at his first interview. He was the shiny new that replaced the dumb arse brigade. He should be in the gun now, but the knock on Suban has been his low disposal count, not what he does with the ball.
Ironically, Suban was actually able to get the ball in the last quarter last week, for a negative result. I wonder if anything different would have happened if a Suns player was able to get the ball instead.

De Boer was different. He was touted as at least a top ten pick as a youngster, but didn't nominate in his draft year. The next year, he was monitored much more carefully in the WAFL, and his poor disposal was clearly noticed, which is why Fremantle got him as a rookie. His disposal in his first few games was terrible (Grey - like!), especially in front of goals, but that has improved over time to the point where he is nowhere near as bad as many posters like to think. Even on Saturday I can remember only one bad disposal, which is no worse than anyone else, and certainly not as fatal as Suban's efforts in the last.
But again, way too late for the dumb arse brigade.

Tldr; Scham is making shit up!

 

[Taylor]

If Chris Mayne cleaned up his kicking for goal he would be doing just fine.
