Review Freo Do The Business in Derby 61

[oldgoat]

Harley Reid still dominating the race for flog of the year.

Even his teamates don't seem to like him that much.
Did anyone else notice the half assed celebrations when he scores.

 

[oldgoat]

That umpiring was diabolical both ways AGAIN. I dont think I've ever said that so much in a season. Make them full time gigs ffs and pay them accordingly.

Remarkably had 36 scoring shots and left about 10 on the table I reckon. One of those games we'd have won by 120 had they converted in the 2nd.

Biggest positives was seeing Jye start to look like Jye again, Murphy ****ing Reid being Murphy ****ing Reid and Youngu continuing to remind everyone what weve missed the whole year.

And Voss still wearing his strut suit!
Proper object of fear and respect!
Jokers will be increasingly wary of poking this bear!

Bit of angst from some Eagles supporters over a few dimwits making some noise when Second Best Reid came off due to injury. I was at the game and I did hear some numbnuts applauding it but it wasn’t that noticeable.

It’s not on but they obviously don’t remember when Woosha ran through Dermie and the send off they gave him as they poured him into a stretcher

Same people who cheered Gaff after he reconstructed AB's face and continue to make jokes about it to this day, yeah?

They can STFU.

Confession...
I've been a very naughty boy...
3 minutes fun on the Wiggles dung heap and I've been banned!
Very touchy tonite.

I have some concerns on how we’re going defensively of late. Missing Pearce and Walker massively.

 

[Mainy66]

Does Amiss need different approaches to kicking for goal? Straight drop punt from any angle isn’t always the best option.

How would you feel if your work colleague did pretty much the same job as you but was being spoken of being offered +5 times more than you for their next contract?

Now add to that the fact your work colleague actually makes your job harder because.

Were absolutely elite last game though

23 disposals, 15 score involvements and a goal. Murphy Reid.

How in the actual f#^k did he fall to our pick? Getting him and Shai for 3 lowish first rounders is incredible business and I can't wait until Murphy is a full time mid. That is a serious line up with Serong, Brayshaw, Young, Reid, Bolton and then Driz and Johnno as afterthoughts. And if Robinson is as good as promised... We are winning some flags

I had to share this post from the Eagles board because it's just too funny..

When you wonder why our midfield is so trash just remember after trading away our other picks our list manager got to our remaining first rounder, eyed off the best remaining midfielder in the draft in Murphy Reid and said, 'yeah ok he's a brilliantly skilful midfielder, and granted he was projected to go top 10...and yes it is incredibly lucky he's slipped this far.. but what we are really looking for is a halfback with shit disposal. Is there anyone like that still available?'

 

[Purple Jesus]

We're absolutely elite last game though

JL put it on the midfield mix in the presser I just watched. All the defensive mids were on the bench at the same time during that period.

 

[DocT]

Who cares! Just take the win. I dont care if we beat Carlton, Port, Brisbane and Bulldogs by an average winning margin of 9 points each

That means you don't care if we miss Top 4 by percentage. Many would say Top 4's one of the keys to an interstate tilt at a premiership. Oh well.

 

[Nodgey]

4 points. No injuries. But meh I ain’t hanging out to watch the replay of this one.

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

I'll take the 4 points and zero injuries.

Inaccuracies aside we dominated the game. Chappy and Banfield had nightmare games.

My buddy Youngy was awesome, as was Brayshaw.

Yeah we smashed them, if we had kicked straight it would have been really ugly and a nice percentage boost but as long as we keep winning it won't matter. If we don't make top 4 with 16 or 17 wins we are just unlucky. That is plenty good enough most seasons.

Most frustrating 49 point win.

Because it felt like it should've been 149 points. But 4 points is 4 points and you don't get extra premiership points for winning by huge margins.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Honestly, we are so far off with percentage now its basically irrelevant. Winning is all that matters

Also, of all the games to get the yips weirdly, this was the best one.

Will go into the middle eventually but I’m torn between wanting him to go into the middle so we can get him around the footy as much as possible and keeping him forward because he creates so many scoring opportunities out of nothing.

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

Hayden Young is a bit of a weapon

Our best mid, does so much damage and kicks goals. Does he have any weaknesses? Can't think of any

Only slightly, his reliance on his left.

Beats finishing 9th or 10th.

Would you like to remind us where Freo finished last season?

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

After the last 3 weeks I'm feeling really good about this team and I have trust in them for the first time under JL, we should fear no one in the run home and I can see us winning all 4 games and securing the double chance. Our Key forward trio is amazing and they are all still pups. No ceilings in my opinion and no reason we can't win the whole thing this year.

 

[eastfreo75]

Massive positive is how Weagles fans don’t know how bad their team is.

I could count on one hand how many Eagles players would be in our best 22.

Except for Waterman none of their talls would get a game at Freo.

By the way, how long do we have to have Banfield in the team with all his brain farts.

Dogs at Marvel scare me but im strangely confident about Brisbane at home

Although I don't share you're blinding optimism, I agree with the sentiment.
