Game Day Freo v Carlton

[Kapow!!!]

They have just setup so well around the contest for contested ball. Literally exactly our counter.

 

[King Tenz]

Trash.

25 points to half time, **** outta here boys

 

[ImperialPurple]

This is laughable.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

So yuck

 

[swanny1234]

What’s the plan for when Serong is tagged? If that isn’t the coaches responsibility, what is?

Same old story every time. This coach has no plan B

 

[Randomizor]

What will our flawless coach instruct us at the long break?

 

[noise36]

We need something to change the game, maybe if it pours down we have a chance to stop the bleeding in the middle?

 

[rubydoomsday]

this is a joke. we don't deserve anything playing like this.

 

[imperial_oz]

Get ****ed pleb

Read your own posts. Poshman was 100% correct.

 

[Minz]

Well, at least it’s only sport I guess.

<looks around at the real world> Um….

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Holding the ball is ****ed. Carlton are dropping it, taking on the tackler etc. but they’re not calling it unless it’s obvious. The 50:50 ones are getting called against us

 

[Freofalcon]

At least we are going goal for goal after Carlton’s quick start.

Maybe something to build on?

 

[fnerd]

Serong 5 touches. Don’t care if he’s tagged, it’s pretty average for a top line midfielder.

Can’t shake a tag

I honestly don’t know why every team doesn’t do it .

This is the saints game reincarnated

 

[stormee]

This is absolutely dire. Even if we win this it’s a total joke the way our mids have played all day. A complete lack of intensity, so many players trying to be too cute.

 

[kingswood71]

Beaten around the ball.
Cant buy a clearance.
I remain optimistic that we will come back in the second half.
Someone needs to put some work into Cripps.

 

[chaosball32]

Notice how they constantly have a small around the stoppages? Whether that be Motlop, Forgarty, Lord, Williams etc. Hewett and Cripps do the muscle work and get it out to their smalls who burst away.

Meanwhile we keep persisting with Darcy, Jackson, Brayshaw, Erasmus, O’Meara etc. We are too slow.

11 centre clearances to 1 is just pathetic.

 

[s_wd6]

We’re nothing without Young

 

[Torz]

Why not throw Murphy in for a couple of CBA’s?

 

[Freoforever86]

I’ve never seen Brayshaw play so poorly. First instinct is handball every time and it’s killing us.

 

[Dockerjonz]

Trash.

25 points to half time, **** outta here boys

Players 100% mentally had the game won before the first bounce it's this clubs m.o when we have some form

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Honestly what is wrong with sending Serong to Hewitt.

He’s having no impact and will continue to have none if nothing changes

“Backing the guys in” is not going to help when we are being so comprehensively pantsed in one area of the ground (the middle) changes have to be made immediately or season is over.

 

[fnerd]

Read your own posts. Poshman was 100% correct.

we’re playing abysmal .
Finals on the line again at home against shit team minus half their b22
And we’re getting ****ing owed, sorry

After choking the last 4 games of 2024
… but hey it’s all

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

I reckon we’ll come out firing like GWS did against Sydney last weekend. We have so many players that need to lift. There’s no way we continue to roll over like this unless the rain kills it for us

 

[noise36]

Carlton is our boogy team for sure, always embarrass us, Cripps and Hewitt destroying our midfield.

The freo curse lives on though, 2024 all over again, wheels fall off the buss with poor performances and injuries to key players.

The amount of times I have seen Darcy having to pickup the ball from the ground because no other midfielder is anywhere near it is far to high.

 

[WhoneedsMcLeod]

Half time,
Run Bolton out to the airport and call Richmond and ask for our money back.

O'Driscoll not AFL standard, goes to ground like a lttle rag doll.

Johnno, hurry back.

JL, make some changes in the middle you slow thinking ******.
