Review Round 23, 2025 - Fremantle vs. Brisbane Lions

[DevRoboGun]

Very telling that Zorks said that he can tell almost immediately if we are on or not.If we are on we win,if not we struggle.Hopefully we are on for the rest of the year and no more injuries.

The one thing I don’t like about this is we can’t seem to switch on if we start off.. it’s really just either good for most the game or poor most the game, besides those few come backs early in the season which were really just a roll on from last years finals series.

 

[Sunny Land]

His late career improvement has been outstanding, I and a lot of others including Froggy himself thought his career was all but over only 3 seasons ago.

He accepted a fulltime job after the season end in 2021 expecting his footy career was done. How ironic that the end of his footy career was going to be his best!!! Good quality lad like them all.

 

[Nathan Barley]

That's great Sunny Lands.

But having a crack at anyone who makes a comment you don't like as if you know better every time must get a bit tiring.

I'd hardly call your style debating or discussion.

Maybe if you just let a few things go you'll be a lot happier.

Just trying to be helpful.

Sounds like another poster on here who’s a big fan of Ben Keays….

 

[Gadzorks]

Saw a quote from an interview he did after the game and he said he milked it a bit

He is a 2 year vetran employing whatever it takes.

Somehow reminds me of hodge even though he is at the opposite end of the ground.

 

[Gadzorks]

Anyone else notice that Harris smiles and laughs a lot more when froggy and starce are playing?

They know each others play so well he knows he can punch the ball into oblivion and take uncontested marks at will with those two around him. Makes him happy.

Is it that or more about him playing on a weaker opponent?

No need to attack me

 

[mattsmob]

Did anyone see what happened to Morris to get that down field free that got a goal?

There was a crowd ohhh when it happened and not a lot of crowd objection to the free.

Morris was getting slamed the entire game. Good on him for continuing to present and not retaliate.

Maybe my favourite thing about Morris is his mentality, never ever stops presenting and keeping himself in the game. An ability all the greats have is just to keep the legs moving nearly all game and I think he has that

Re: Hipwood - I’ve always been a fan but 3 possessions and no score last night. If he’s injured leave him out at this point

 

[MSB ROYS]

Not sure been mentioned but i feel Brayshaw should be suspended for his actions on Berry.Not contesting the ball. Just because it was not head contact doesnt mean it should not be suspendable.

Brayshaw took his frustration out on Berry with an illegal push barely in play, certainly the ball was not within 5 m. Not sure what he would charged with on their magic tribunal matrix. Then a minute or so later, he is second in a tackle and drives Rayner backward landing on him, which was also potentially dangerous. He got HTB as well.

Bailey got a week for a bump with an accidental head class that didn't result in any injury LOL.

The reason Berry did the shoulder is because he could see the ball and knew he couldn’t get it so wasn’t expecting any contact. You can see his body kind of relax and then Brayshaw hits him for no reason.

Sounds like he's gone into player protection mode. Making light of the incident. I was sitting on the other side of the ground so did not see what happened, but by the reaction of the Freo supporters they all knew something serious happened. Allegedly like a king hit behind play.

 

[Gadzorks]

I like my story better.

Your version might be correct but it desn't make my heart as happy a mine.

 

[Haso]

Don't know if your comment to Haso was serious but I'm adhd and he described it perfectly. When i'm busy i can multi task and get a billion things done. When there's not a lot on i can't get myself motivated and i get nothing done.

The team does seem to be following that pattern.

Rips knows that a) I am a psychologist and b) that I am riddled with ADHD. He's just being a silly goose because he's missed me.

I'm on your team, GZ. The most charming, endearing, funny, and good looking team of the lot.

COULDN’T BE MORE WRONG

I'm chuffed we are on the same team. Always thought you were the most insightful poster on BF.

ADHD is s super power. Couldn't do my job, which has great conditions, without it. And it makes parenting and coaching fun, cause you can tap into that kid perspective.

and who wants to do the boring stuff anyway. Clean tidy well kept houses are overrated.

 

[Haso]

Buggers off for an eon and then waltzes in like he knows stuff. Seriously.

How very dare you hold a mirror up to my own actions.

I would never have it any other way, either. I've only ever looked at the universe through these eyes, but this human form seems to be getting the job done just fine, and much more interestingly than otherwise.

Ha ha.

I do love Ben Keays maybe too much.

Btw. You should talk.

Re: Hipwood - I’ve always been a fan but 3 possessions and no score last night. If he’s injured leave him out at this point

I suspect Hippy got injured or aggravated an injury early in the game so it wasn't as straightforward as you suggest. He played the back end of last year with a serious injury as well and yet still managed to perform on the big day.

Just comparing you taking on the role of Chief Internet Forum Defender for Keays just like Sunny Land has for Fages

I thought suspensions are majorly based on outcomes of injury so Brayshaw has to be in trouble. Was not an accidental football incident.

So ?

I don't think I personally belittle anyone who disagrees with me. And never once put up a laughing emoji.

I thought I was a model citizen. To cop this sort of criticism is devastating.

We should never have let him go.
