Not at all.Hard to hear but give it time.
What I am sick of is having intercept markers having a field day against us. Brian Lake killed us in the GF and Gov continues to kill us every derby.
It is unacceptable that the coaching staff have not been able to overcome this.
I reckon he even says, “Doggers”, instead of “Dockers”This!
So much this.
I'm still pissed off at his commentary in the Bulldogs game. The only thing he didn't say over and over was how much he hated Fremantle. Probably because his mouth was full of bile and stupidity there was no room left.
I agreeBob's Glass Half Full Report:
- Son's first live Freo game. In amongst the cheersquad, gave good effort early with some fine flag work, before tiring and needing his game time managed in the second half (thank goodness for ABC For Kids & Smith's potato chips);
- Nathan Fyfe in full flight is a sight to behold (some deft tap work too);
- First time seeing the draft class of `17 live. Some real talent in there who will be better for the experience yesterday;
- Brennan Cox has some hands on him;
- If Zac Dawson was the Golden Fist then Joel Hamling is silver with a bullet;
- Neale & Sandi were alright;
- Nobody got injured;
- We kept the reigning premiers & current league leaders to their first goalless quarter for the year;
- The weather was superb;
- Public transport worked;
- I may be a culinary simpleton but a meat pie at the footy is one of life's great experiences
Haha no worries mate. I doubt there'd be many jumping to watch the rest of the game. Thanks for the upload. You also provided us with the replay for last year's Mundy win which would've been hard to do at the time, so thank you!I can link the rest if you want them, but if I was a Freo supporter and hadn't seen the game I would make sure to watch that 3rd quarter
Certainly wouldn't worry about the game. Interstate travel with a lot of kids, injuries that really hurt your structure and playing a team that's in a nice patch of form at the moment
FWIW your new recruits were great. Going to form a fantastic core once they're a little bit older
Brad Hardie's take on the game, I'm incline to agree with him.

Hardie’s a knob but to dismiss it completely is arrogance, a better article to link might have been Garry’s radio rant as he at least targeted the structural issues and full panel coaching accountability.
I actually subjected myself to watching the game again and it’s really tough... because we might actually have won instead of losing by 80 points.
Our midfield was 10x better than the derby, the clearance work was Grand Final level at times - our defence was a bit jittery but only because they were put under so much pressure.
Richmond’s tackling pressure might have done us in but it was clear to see with a little extra space and daring we might have moved it forward - but that forward line was doomed for failure for all the reasons Garry outlined. Completely outnumbered and outmuscled - I swear to God that stupid little patch of grass must have about 13 curse bones hidden under it.
Pull the rebuild card and it seems you can excuse away anything for 4-5 years.
I must get over to the Stats board again.Not that long, but it's a factor.
Round 1 aside, which wasn't a good loss for a senior team, the above says to me that Freo is... unexceptional. At this stage anyway. It's hard to buck the numbers in the last column unless the team is unusually precocious.Rd|Res|Mgn|Avg Age|Opp|Opp Age|Age Diff
