Universal Love Barra Leads Freo to the Win over WB

[MadMundy]

Couldn't watch it since I was at work but listened to it on my phone and holy mother of God does it feel good right now to support this club. This season so far has been more than we could have hoped. Our veterans and leaders are stepping up as usual, our new recruits have been superb and players that needed to pull their fingers out (McCarthy and Matera) have done exactly that. Let's keep the good times rolling and stay in the top 4 as long as we can!!!

ROFL, Beveridge complaining about the umpiring in the presser

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Beveridge having a whinge about the umpiring. Seriously.

 

[Barrysballs]

Beveridge you tosser lol

 

[Grape Bear]

On a negative note, the umpiring was atrocious (particularly in the last quarter) and the crowd let the umpiring group know as they walked off the ground after the game. Copped an absolute bake.

Really happy for Barra that we could get him the win. Roll on next week!

I thought I could hear the boos!

Beveridge having a whinge about the umpiring. Seriously.

jesus, did he really?! what did he say? umps did everything they could to keep them in it!

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Our wingers were ok...
Alright Bevo. Sounds like a Bigfooty poster.

 

[Lach72]

Did Switta get theough the game? Can’t recall seeing him in the last quarter?

 

[Righteo]

Talk about biting the hand that feeds, Bevo.

Yes he did a number of run down tackles near the end.

 

[Dockers v Channel7West]

Beveridge you tosser lol

Bevo
The Headline should be Doggies know how to chop arms - and pull jumpers without giving away fee kicks FLOGG

 

[Scham]

I thought we had the rub of the green with the umps for the first 3 quarters. Normal transmission was resumed in the last.

 

[Grape Bear]

Talk about biting the hand that feeds, Bevo.

Shame he didn’t do it last week, we may have gotten a fairer deal.

 

[Lach72]

Ethan: he’s come on so much. Very assured in the contest. The whole backline was great, with Nyhuis and Hamling leading it

All our tall forwards didn’t fire but the two keys got enough ball to break the game open which is encouraging

 

[Scham]

Talk about biting the hand that feeds, Bevo.

That’s how you get them on side. WC, North and WB lead the free kick stats over the last few years (longer for WC) and there’s no coincidence that their coaches whinge and moan about how hard done by they are at every opportunity.

 

[jedi mind tricks]

Barra had a massive 5 mins during the 3rd

 

[Okinakashi]

Anything in Fyfe's bump on Richards (I think?)

 

[muzzington]

Anything in Fyfe's bump on Richards (I think?)

Insufficient force I think. Plus he practically took the ball out of Richards hands at the same time.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Anything in Fyfe's bump on Richards (I think?)

No, too little force

 

[Dockers v Channel7West]

Anything in Fyfe's bump on Richards (I think?)

Definately not if he is a Victorian....

But even as a Dockers player they should see it as accidental-incidental contact
He was going for the shoulder

After the Nyhuis game tonight , I have come to the conclusion that it was a blessing in disguise that Duman was suspended , All due respect to Duman . Yada yada

 

[Freo Big Fella]

- Backline absolutely immense; Nyhuis is best 22. Wilson's best game of the year and Hughes has won me over in the last few weeks.
- Hoges and Tabs disappointing after last week (although Jesse worked bloody hard) but Matera's instincts mean that's not a deal-breaker.
- Despite some great individual performances (Mundy, Hill and Fyfe), the midfield was ordinary for far too many extended stretches. Langdon's ball use stuck out like dogs balls in particular.

All that being said, this goes in the good win ledger for mine. They challenged and gave it everything they had and we responded admirably.

Next week looms as a real litmus test of where we're at IMO - we've had a tendency to go to Adelaide and get our pants pulled down, we need to make a statement.

 

[Scham]

Very fitting that we got the pick that we took Mundy from the Bulldogs - pick 19, and in his 300th he played against the Bulldogs and we won by...19pts.

Duman has been pretty good. Nyhais better.

Both need AFL games to develop

 

[Freo Big Fella]

And seriously heck Bevo complaining about the umps - the non-mark leading to the Bont goal effectively kept them in the game.
