Review Two goals in a derby, it's over - Rd 16, 2019

[canteven]

If we lose as I suspect next week against Hawks (in Tas). Tomorrow North beat St Kilda, next week Sydney beat Carlton and also next week WB beat Melbourne - all very likely. We will be 14th on the ladder. Will give us pick 5 in the ND

If this season (which seems to be the case right now) heads the direction of 2017/18 post bye then there needs to be serious questions and changes made. How can we fall away so much after playing 13 games each of 3-4 years. Same s*#t different stench.

And a few bigger losses and a loss to the saints and we could be 15th which means we have gone no where in the last 3 years that’s 4 years finishing on 8 wins no improvement at all so yes questions need to be asked

The scoreline is brutal but 60 inside 50s suggests things are much better than they appear. 27 scoring shots to21. Without Hogan and Taberner you lose structure up forward entirely, as we would without Darling and Kennedy. And the Eagles are the worst team in the comp to come up against without your 2 best key forwards.

One of the commentators said ideally you’d have 2 Michael Walters: one to play on ball and one up forward. Next year you’ll have something resembling that in Liam Henry.

To me the most concerning thing at the moment is that Cerra and Brayshaw appear to be stalling in their development. But maybe it’s just that their bodies aren’t ready to play the positions you need them to play.

Tbh I have gastro right now and the moment in the 3rd quarter where I sharted after a sneeze was more fun than watching this

Sorry, but it’s bloody funny

 

[Dale147]

This can only end in one way, but will it?

You know you’re going bad when your biggest rivals offer pity.

Congratulations to your mob, you’ve once again proved you’re a better run club with a better team.

Please let us wallow in peace.

Hey at least Gaff was booed.

Classy not...

 

[Piggy Smalls]

An Eagles defender wins the medal, who would've thunk it?

I think you are being crazily kind. It's not like we lost those players in game or suddenly before. Anyone with a brain cell knew playing the same game play was madness, so why play that against the best intercept defense in the comp. It rained so why didn't we try to use some run?

 

[gaskin]

Meh. Same s**t, different day/week/year. I'm getting serously close to joining the Ross out brigade.

Must be catching as it seems most of us have got the sh1ts after what Freo served up tonight.

 

[Taylor]

Season over.
Need a stoppage plan. Maybe a stoppage coach.

Eagles played us perfectly. Give us the kick on the sideways and the block 40m up the ground and the corridor, we will then kick long to intercept.

Absolutely gutted. Season over.

Now I have to wear his damn premiership medal to bed so thanks a lot dockers.

 

[Freo_4eva]

This team and Ross can f*ck off.. how low can you go..

 

[Taylor]

The score was worse than it deserved to be missing so many shots but stuff it, that's a 100 point belting anyway.

 

[Freoforever86]

Could see it coming. Continuously kicking to gov and Barrass. Was scripted

 

[Outshined]

This team and Ross can f*ck off.. how low can you go..

Don't tempt fate...

There's no reason why we can't break our Adelaide 09 record.

 

[Purpletown]

Meh. Same s**t, different day/week/year. I'm getting serously close to joining the Ross out brigade.

My application has been lodged to join the bye bye Ross club. This can not continue. We have lost to the bottom 3 sides in 2019, we have been embarrassed tonight, we have fallen into a hole for the past 4 years and we are a bog average side who drop off in the second half of each season. I rate Lyons work in the early part of his tenure but this is unacceptable after 3 years of full on rebuilding.

 

[Bicco]

Yet we play as if they're there. Even more to that point, neither Hoges or Tabs are big pack markers. Terrible, terrible coaching.

 

[Timmytime]

Yuck. Hard to sit there with coasters fan up and about for the whole game. Terrible, Carlton-esqe showing in a big time fixture. Embarrassing.

 

[rgauci]

Soulless. No atmosphere. No effort. Insipid. Everything anti-Freo. This isn’t the Freo I know. It’s been like this since mid 2015. Soulless.

 

[Rob]

It's OK guys, Ross is going to take the feedback.

 

[Moonrat]

Anyone who keeps yapping on about our inside 50 count being a good sign of our development can * right off!

Enough is enough.

Someone down at that club needs to take control and put something in place to rectify this nonsense......

Diabolical skills
Players out of position
Weak as piss mids
No run and overlap
ZERO connection between mid/fwd

In fact, it seems no clear game plan????

Yet the players come out every single week and declare that they believe if they play their 'brand' they can beat anyone????

Either they don't believe that and are just pushing the company line (which equals I want out trade requests) or the brand is total s**t!

 

[Sean_09]

2 & 19 is a Walters statline, not a fulltime score ffs

 

[Stronzo]

Not much spirit or spark there with a couple of exceptions.

Need more presence in the midfield.

We’re still a young side, but that was pitiful.

 

[bushchook]

Same s**t since 2015. How many more years are we going to waste with Ross Lyon? Will we wait for Fyfe to retire before we try something different?

 

[Moonrat]

Soulless. No atmosphere. No effort. Insipid. Everything anti-Freo. This isn’t the Freo I know. It’s been like this since mid 2015. Soulless.

The atmosphere was electric at the start. I felt like it would be something special........ Then Langdon ran 100m on a burst and stopped mid run to say a prayer or something then kicked it down barass' throat from 56cm in front...

Game over


Actually Langdon stopped a few times. Unclear of what to do. Anxious? I dunno.....for sure as hell not playing on instinct..... That is an indictment on Ross and his staff
