Game Day Freo v Essendon Round 1

[FreoRicci]

Aren't we practising skills? Useless coaching staff.

This isn’t coaching mate. Clear who’s AFL material and who is not. Coaches can only teach as much.
This is a Ross Lyon squad this season. And today is no exception. Spuds like Crowden, Schulz, Banfield simply don’t get involved enough.
McCarthy needs to play as a forward. Wasted on the wing

 

[mike91]

Aish is the only clean player out there, put him on the ball

 

[Lach72]

Banfield clotheslined directly in front of him and Fisher still hesitates before blowing the whistle, bloke is a disgrace.

it was Schultz but the point stands

 

[Van_Dyke]

Banfield clotheslined directly in front of him and Fisher still hesitates before blowing the whistle, bloke is a disgrace.

Crowden tackled without in the forward line as well, and * all given

 

[dropbear101]

Final quarter coming up.

I think JLo should give the group a hard stare down then ask

what would clive do.

 

[sumavich]

Disgusting, people are going to lose their jobs, businesses, loved ones, houses etc
These entitled flogs can go and get real jobs like the rest of us

 

[Steinfreo]

It's really sad, but at this point in his career, Sean Darcy is a dead set liability. We look 100 times better with Lobb in the ruck and Lobb isn't even a full time ruckman. We've been smashed out of the centre whenever Darcy is in there.

Darcy is still fat and weak for his size.

 

[gaskin]

Thankfully, despite the insipid skills and umpiring, we are still in this.

 

[Heart Of Purple]

tucker has been poor but he did miss a bit of pre season and doesn’t have much footy under his belt.
Colyer just fumbles easy opportunities non stop. McCarthys brain works quicker than his body and it looks god awful at times, he struggles to execute on instinct alone and needs time to get the skill right, will find it hard on a song if he’s not taking marks.

Banfield Schultz and Crowden are getting involved.

It’s Cerra and Brayshaw who are getting a bath.

 

[FreoRicci]

Starting that Brayshaw thread up was a bad omen. Midfield has been missing all freaking game

 

[estibador]

So many chances towards the end there but we're just too damn fumbly.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

I guess the bottom 4 predictions were accurate. There's no synergy or toughness to this team and they lack class.

We have to plan for the future, Serong should come in next week and maybe even Henry/Young with the shortened game time.

 

[kingswood71]

Eddie verbalizing the Freo motto "They get it to the forward 50 and butcher it every time".
We should adopt that in Latin.

 

[Scham]

Lucky we're playing Essendon

They’re going to be very good this year

 

[FD2646]

That fumble by Colyer

I legit have never seen a small player fumble the footy so much - had the same problem his entire career.

 

[Retzlaff]

Noise of affirmation clearly influencing the umps

 

[FreoRicci]

Major plus is Bewley. Getting in the right areas, kicking well. Composed at tomes

 

[Steinfreo]

Our wafl spuds are having a go at least.

 

[Deathly]

It's really sad, but at this point in his career, Sean Darcy is a dead set liability.

The only thing that Darcy has improved on since debut is shredding body fat. Football IQ has gone backwards and he spends half the time when near the ball on the actual ground.

 

[Freeeoo]

These skills sessions are really paying off

 

[MrDanggazz]

Bewley with 17 touches makes me want to puke.

 

[heavho]

Isolate fyfe forward. Put lobb in the ruck.push aish on the ball. Move Cerra forward.move mcarthy forward. Keep Walters in the guts

 

[noise36]

Lobb been good, midfield terrible, Fyfe and Walters not giving us enough. Turn over city by foot, kills all momentum.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

This all feels very... familiar
