Autopsy R22 Freo Hoodoo Gurus, First Win v Port at AO

[Taylor]

I'm happy that the team gets the benefit of a hard reminder for effort without it costing us a game.

Paying less than full price for that wake up call, perfect. Don't really care about percentage by now, it's too far gone, we just need to win and that week off before finals will do wonders.

 

[vidwhal]

The coach would’ve seen a bit of himself in Pearce with that mark

Still got the original tv capture on my pc all these years later of the saints one. Relived it many a time in dark periods!

Agreed. Was like 'the loss we needed to have' while still getting the 4 points. Valuable lesson.

 

[WilloTree]

I have to put my hand up here and say i nearly bought in to the questions around Pearce as Captain.

Never again.

 

[ImperialPurple]

We are sitting equal 1st on the ladder, have won 10 of the last 11 and people are still unhappy?

Do we have the softest supporters in the league?

The most long-term traumatised.

 

[kuhni]

I wouldn't be looking at 2023 as anything other than the belief that flukes happen if you want to be optimistic. Statistically the worst premiership side in the AFL era and it's not even close.

Id be happy with holding that record.

He was trying to get O'Driscoll to swap with him on the wing at the bounce before but Nathan waved him off, ended up right on the edge of defensive fifty and charged off forward when we won the clearance.

Was a clear directive from the bench but Pearce was already moving to do it before the bench was waving at him.

 

[Taylor]

Port weren't switched on but can't blame them, if they won the clearance they would have Pearce out of position and not impacting the play, all their talls deep on Cox.

 

[ImperialPurple]

I hope NOD was unwell, because watching him the last couple of weeks in particular has made me sick! I'm over his poor kicking....what is it with him and his sister being such poor kicks? Surely playing at the highest level you can't kick like that?!

His 2 x AA sister is fine.

 

[s_wd6]

His 2 x AA sister is fine.

Her ball drop is one of the worst i've ever seen though

 

[wakojako]

Was Ras playing defence last night?

Wing I thought?

I love AP post match interview confirming that his mark and goal was a set play.

 

[dominguez]

If Worner kicks those 2 relatively easy goals in the first term we go into the break 6 goals up and probably break their spirit and win by 10+ goals.

We seem to kick straight in the 4th quarter every week but tempting fate missing easy ones in the first 3 quarters.

 

[fleur]

Thank god we won. Hate to think of the meltdown on this board otherwise

It’s a fine line between heaven and here

Not sure if that's a typo, or that here is actually hell. Makes sense either way

 

[King Huskii]

That’s what I’m hanging onto. We don’t get the benefit of a GF at our home ground though.

Yeah pretty much this. Imagine if we never left Optus during the finals series.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Her ball drop is one of the worst i've ever seen though

Yeah I agree, but it’s not ineffective. She still gets it where she wants it to go. Most of the time.

Not a typo. It’s a quote from the wisdom of Bubbles, although I stuffed it up

The Wire.

The Wire.

Yep. Just finished rewatching it. Still great

 

[oldgoat]

How bout the commentators calling them Boaky and Sweety all night

To be fair they were also into The Big Cohuna and the Prancing Pony.
I was with you yesterday but, on watching the replay, I think we were being a bit sensitive?
I was very tense!

Yep me too
