Game Day 2024 Round 09 Freo v Swans @ Optus @ 8:30 PM

[Chaisa]

Game reminds me a lot of the GWS one last year where we went like 12.0 in the first half or something.

 

[Membling]

Great second qtr

 

[kneecapper]

Excellent half, not much to complain about. I think what's impressed me most this season is how we're controlling the game tempo.

 

[Ed_Gein]

Should've still been a point??? Warner kicked it before the siren went

 

[ashep]

That's an impressive word.

The way he just plucked it so casually inspired me

 

[TheMase]

Great job lads, can’t ask for more than that

 

[swanssince2002]

To be fair, the Freo finishing inside 50 is just... next level bad.

They try the shallow entry lowering their eyes but their disposal is shocking and when we produce a turnover at half back forwards get back quickly.

 

[The King!]

Port going to choke ?

 

[Nuggetz]

I've never seen such a difference in goal kicking 1.8 to 9.0. Nuts.

 

[SSwans2011]

Should've still been a point??? Warner kicked it before the siren went

Nah the kick was after the siren.

Although technically I believe the umpire's whistle is what actually signals the end of the quarter and that was after the kick.

 

[the hypnotoad]

blakey outstanding! ... that mark he took a few minutes back, basically outplayed four players in doing it

 

[MF]

Absolutely clinical again. First class pressure, defense repelling everything and just finding completely different avenues to goal every time we go forward. Opposition coaches must hate us.

 

[The King!]

Fyfe may wake up and kill us in the second half, but right now he looks like he retired 2 years ago

When they hear the siren that’s it.

Heeney well on top in that match up

 

[wolftone57]

Well that was much better. We controlled play. Won the stoppages & clearances, hard ball gets, 5 goals from turnover. The pressure has been high all game but we directed it that quarter. We got a lot of holding the ball decisions.

I have only one thing to say to Juzzie. Just play the bloody game.

[The King!]

Heeney is arguably the best still imo, Lizard been great , but Heeney is everywhere, does so much unrewarded work.

Hayward also does so much unrewarded work

 

[zyzzbruh]

Excellent half, not much to complain about. I think what's impressed me most this season is how we're controlling the game tempo.

With maturity too. Not allowing any opposition run on get into our heads.

 

[Ballarat Bob]

If Port drop this Hinkley will need to be put in witness protection

 

[TheMase]

Jordon following Clark. He has 3 handballs so far…

Clark 5 disposals (1 kick) at 60%
0 marks
0 rebound 50
0 inside 50
1 score involvement


Jordon 9 disposals at 100%
4 marks
1 inside 50
4 score involvements

 

[Swansujelly]

Jordon nullified Clarke and got his own back the other way. Impressed with him

 

[The King!]

Jordons work in marking contest against bigger bodies is really impressive. Could almost sneak back into defence if needed.

 

[SydneyBlood]

Same number of scoring shots, 40 in front. Amazing. Obvious but the difference accurate goal kicking makes s priceless. Instead of kicking behinds and piling the pressuring on your team to convert chances.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Really interesting structural play going on.

Chad played most of the 2nd Q as the deepest forward & quite often he had the whole 50 to himself. He’s been sensational as a full forward.

Freo playing ultra-aggressive run & carry, but they’re being exposed on the turnover.

Jordon spending a lot of time pestering Hayden Young

. Doing a fine job.

Swans don’t seem to mind Serong getting a heap of it - Rowy hasn’t been sent to him at all.
