Game Day Freo vs Melbourne (Round 6)

[WilloTree]

Oh well. Good on Bolton and Amiss giving us a sniff.

A few really worrying signs though.

-Darcy looks completely cooked.
-Unable to defend the corridor.
-We don't have anyone who can lock down a small forward.
-Switkowski 0 goals / 0 tackles - that's just garbage.

 

[Kram]

What do we stand for as a club?

Whatever it wants to!

 

[Jeba]

Serong andy and young were poor today

 

[Purple Jesus]

I'd rather blame our players that did nothing in a whole game for the loss rather than one of our best players for making a mistake.

At least he was having a go.

 

[MadMundy]

Nah wouldn’t have been in the game without him.

Shai is like Kobe. He’ll miss half the shots he takes but will always have the confidence to back himself. Love him.

I love him too, hard not to be frustrated by that play though. He definitely was our best today though.

 

[pavstar]

Please Kellie Underwood STFU…. “One of the upsets of the season….”

 

[Sean_09]

Just ****ing love dropping games like this. Always does wonders for a season.

Losses like this and to Sydney is why we don’t make finals

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Positives: hopefully the media will stop talking about premiership credentials. JL can’t even get this team into the finals.

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

Missing Jackson

Jackson in would have done nothing to change this result.

Abysmal team selections, really poor preparation during the week, really poor game plan, really poor gameday coaching.

But of course it was all injuries and bad umpiring that cost us this one.

Easily the most protected coach in the comp, about time the true reviews of this coaching scheme and 5 years of stifling negative pointless game structure were truly aired.

Worst part is before the "Longmuir system" so many of our younger players have such joy, drive and pure attacking skill. But no, lets keep JOM in the centre square, with Banfield always in the team, and turn MJ into a slogging behind the play space occupier who is instructed to maintain space and run away from contests.

Just no heat on JLo at all is just bizarre, with Gar-lick leaving to go back to the AFL House role we should all get used to Longmuir coaching us until at least ANZAC Day 2027.

Just pathetic coaching, such a poorly delivered gameplan over 5 years that just never changes.

 

[mattis117]

Typical for posters to resort to insulting players.

The loss is shit and our effort isn't there off double travel and a six day break.

Kudos to Melbourne for actually showing up for the first time this year.

Darcy and Young will be better for the smashing.

The whole team got beaten. Some of the kicks inside 50 were awful, Treacy well off today, he had a no name defender and did very little, but no criticism for the star.

Keep going at your whipping boys though.

 

[noise36]

Gawn has done us over
We had our chances but some average footy by us

Easily the best player on the ground.

 

[kingswood71]

Oh well.
To many passengers.
Darcy killed by Gawn.

 

[Duz97]

Make a ****ing statement at selection JL or **** off

 

[Kram]

I'd rather blame our players that did nothing in a whole game for the loss rather than one of our best players for making a mistake.

Should've just done the safe thing and bombed it long to the square for a rushed behind.

 

[lint]

Our squad was far superior, you have to put this one on JL. Dudley for one should have started.

Two players could have killed us, Pickett and Gawn. What plan did he have for them?

They had a plan for Serong, and Pearce didn't see Petty coming. Comprehensively out-coached.

 

[believe_it]

Lost at the start when we didn’t show up AGAIN!!!

 

[Lach72]

Oh well. Good on Bolton and Amiss giving us a sniff.

-Unable to defend the corridor.
-We don't have anyone who can lock down a small forward.
-Switkowski 0 goals / 0 tackles - that's just garbage.

Hmmm Switta is in for goals…wait no…it’s pressure…no it’s tackles.


Hmmm I’m out of ideas

 

[poshman]

Just ****ing love dropping games like this. Always does wonders for a season.

This is one of the glaring indictments on our coach and this leadership group.

Our lack of a plan from kick outs is still a problem and could be a death knell for the coach.

76 points conceded in the first half... incredibly poor.

Chappy and Jackson back will be helpful.

 

[Kram]

Make a *ing statement at selection JL or * off

Fringe plater selections aren't what's causing losses like that, surely.

 

[MadMundy]

Our squad is good but Melbourne just had more fight in them today, they wanted to win more than our boys did.

 

[FreoRicci]

I'd rather blame our players that did nothing in a whole game for the loss rather than one of our best players for making a mistake.

We’re blaming Bolton? He’s the reason we were even in it.
I can easily put up half the team that should be blamed

 

[fnerd]

So I have we got it through our heads Jslow is not even close to the coach this team requires??

I mean him , the players, organisation talking up freos premiership credentials… we can even beat bottom 4 teams ffs.

This club is nowhere near capable of challenging for finals yet every one at the org believes premierships are what theyre all about!

 

[Dockers v Channel7West]

Only consolation tactically awful
Smashed in the middle and only lost by 10 points

 

[mightymouse75]

We were shit but *ing hell the umpires wanted a dees win there. * footy sucks sometimes.

Not sure what the count is, but Melbourne got a hell of a lot of rough decisions.
We can't pressure teams.
Are tackling is weak, if at all.

Our defensive press is diabolical.
Massive holes & Oppo players just walk it through.

 

[poshman]

I am not worried about Darcy. If Jackson wasn't injured this would have been his last week at Peel. He will build into the year.
