Tonight's Derby a classic?

I cant remember the last time he was beaten in a match.

Fevola loves playing against Glass. I think he's the only forward Glass really struggles against.

Last time Fevola kicked 6 on him, in 2005 4 goals, kicked 8 on him in the Wizzer Cup final, in 2004 he kicked 1.5 and 6 on him in the two games that year.

Far from it, too many skill erors and the dewy conditions led to too much fumbling of the ball as well

A limp wristed effort from the Freo midfield

Luckily Freo spotted that midfield deficiency pre-season and took steps to recruit... err... another tall forward.

Its amazing isnt it , almost a no brainer. Freo in the past have talked about this premiership window being just opened. well I tell you this window is in a submarine cause with our slow midfield just defeats the team itself. AND yes we had a chance to rectify this situation somewhat in the preseason and we got Tarrant - who may I add may be a good player butnot the player we need.

Not trying to defend a fairly ordinary Freo tonite but were without a few star players.

Still early days.

While some more pace would be handy you don't need speed to hit a forward on the chest.

They really missed the pace of peake, schammer, black and farmer, didn't they?

Will be a much better side with those blokes in...

Exactly, people go on and on about pace but in the end our midfield get enough of the footy but cant use it. Pace isnt the most important thing in football.

Eagles had 400 possessions tonight and the Dockers only had 296. I wouldnt say thats getting enough of it...

We had enough of the ball to win if we disposed of it better, the amount of kicks were pretty similar but i bet our efficiency was a lot worse than the Eagles.

Wake up and smell the coffee , we get belted in clearences , we get belted in balls in dispute basically from our lack of pace in the midfield. I know it may be tough to accept , but I dont accept being 0-3

Nah thats not true, Sydney are the best at clearances but they dont have a very fast midfield. Kirk is one of the best at getting the ball in close and he is slow. We are not 0-3 because of our lack of speed.
