Review Round 5, 2024 vs Fremantle

[PJ Power]

Thought Lachie Jones took a big step forward tonight.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

We lost the clearances, and that is a problem.

We still "won" the inside 50s 56 to 46

We rely on individual brilliance rather than being a well drilled and structured team. It feels like we’ll lose against that game style in finals.

 

[Bump Bailey]

Anyone who thinks this side can win a premiership is a prize gronk.

Let’s just enjoy it for what it is - we play in the AFL, we exist, and we win a few games here and there.

Yay, go team.

 

[AdamMarrett]

As bad as Dixon has been Marshall is worse.

What can a lead up player like Marshall actually do when he's clearly playing to instruction in a congested forward line and the ball is bombed in consistently?

I find the criticism of Marshall fascinating cause it defies logic that he can kick 40 goals a year playing in a forward line structure that isn't designed to his strengths.

Agreed

The crowd was absolutely dead inside lol. I think from this you can safely stay we are still an extremely dumb side with a dumb coach and there is no way we survive a finals series.

We won through luck tonight. We gave Freo a thousand chances and they kept missing.

Oblitorated in the middle. Only thing that held us together was our defence.

Marshall has 100 games under his belt and he is honestly third rate, he just never consistently delivers or imposes himself on games, when he goes missing he is totally invisible. He would be my first tall out (apart from default Dixon) if we unearthed anyone better or wanted to go smaller.

Mitch G is covering some ground at the moment, noticed him make the run all the way to defence a few times tonight.

We still have the same issues we always had under Hinkley. Expect the same results id say.

 

[GoPorts]

Just the clearest display of how poorly coached this team is.
Continue to bomb it long despite Pearce and Ryan rebounding everything that comes in. Any idiot who's watched Freo knows that's their main strength, not only do we start with that but we keep doing it when the expected happens.
Then that last 2 minutes, multiple players doing everything they can from playing on, letting Aish rove the throws in or kicking it out of bounds to try and turn the ball over.
We just have nothing going on. It's all reliant on individually brilliant players with no structure or thought at all.

 

[PJ Power]

I’d like to congratulate Luke Ryan for breaking the record for most intercept marks in a season off of tonight’s effort alone

SPP should take some credit too for giving away a record number of senseless free kicks as well.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Lol here we go. Media hanging Butters.

 

[Chrizzt]

Hitouts 66-26. Should have dominated from there, but thought our mids were swamped.

Bit concerning to see our midfield go to water in a tough game once again. Getting hard to write it off as inexperience now

Do you think because of Ken?

 

[Doctor Feel]

Eddie betts defending him.

Marshall is a long way from what I expected this year. Not taking a set shot from 53 m out when we trailed by 2 points late was disappointing IMO.

 

[PowerBaz]

Lol here we go. Media hanging Butters.

Yeah what’s that about? I think he hurt his ankle and tripped like Liba.

About what?

This.

 

[240volt]

Great game by Soldo tonight.

 

[StuMan]

Well, Fox is getting ready to string Butters up.

 

[Adz2332]

Thought Jones played really well tonight. Burgoyne to.

Fremantle are such a rubbish team to watch. Morning team!

 

[x_les_x]

Shoutout W Rioli for multiple chase down tackles and i think possibly two holding the balls in the back half when he is a forward pocket. Immense

 

[Doctor Feel]

About what?

He murdered Banfield and the funeral is Friday.

was really going for the ball when he might’ve clipped that Docker with his arse(?).

 

[ibd77]

Butters incredible in the last

Very important performance as Butters, Rosie & JHF needs to stand up and be counted when it's tough like that. Only sheer will wins those games. Dixon stepping up was a bonus.
