Review Freo holds on against the Swans

[FreoGirl]

Draper not going anywhere amazing young bloke. Wait till he gets a bit stronger

so many were upset when he was selected - I hope they have shut up

 

[Ysaye]

I almost punched a door when Logan McDonald took that mark.

It's funny, I actually thought they made the wrong call kicking it to him that far out rather than going long and fast

 

[noise36]

Amazing win! team played well enough for long enough even with the home team getting the rub of the green.

Agreed. I called the straight swap with Moose but the nuffies calling for forwards to play back instead said he wouldn't play because he was shit in the WAFL last week.

ploughing through packs with courage is something we must have been doing at training - you can't usually get penalised for doing that, and it's very effective. Young is awesome at it!

there were nufties wanting Fyfe dropped

Oh man, I don't want to go early, but things are just falling into place really nicely. Everyone is in form and we have a functioning forward line. Anything is possible in 2024.

Just leaving the SCG now be still my beating heart
Someone who knows anybody needs to get me to go to every way again because whenever I go they win

 

[largebus]

Draper, career best game
Johnson, one of his best games
Some of Fyfe's play in traffic was straight outta 5-10 years ago.
Probably the single thing I loved most was Switta and his desperation. Saved our arse 3-4 times in the last quarter.

Only big negative was Davies but putting him on McLean when he's half his size is throwing him to the wolves.

Me and my boys (5&6) were doing victory laps around the living room. Will remember this one.

Me and my boys (9&11) did the same. So good.

who dares to start a thread on the main board that says Fremantle are now the one to watch out for - They can win the premiership

 

[kingswood71]

Amazing win. So happy right now.
Draper stepped up big time
We need to just take that into the rest of the year and anything can happen.

 

[go_the_dockers]

I think after this, we can lock Warner in. He would be very impressed with our young side and his age fits perfectly.

 

[Stinky Lomax]

We sure did hold on, most would have caved & lost by 3. Great character this group amongst other stuff.
The ultimate 8 point game.

 

[Pommie Docker]

What a win. Huge team win and amazing to hold on at the end

 

[poshman]

The transformation Sturt has had on our forwardline is scarcely believable. That and resting a mid forward. We look so dangerous up front now

He was class today. Kicking goals, taking marks, tackles, pressure and going back with the flight. As well as winning the ball on the defensive wing when required. Huge game! Extend his contract asap.

no they weren't. ethan hughes is a good reliable defender who experienced.

draper last game before that was poor. combined with the fact our other key defender was playing his second game. the debate was quite legitimate. i say that as someone who thought we should avoid ethan hughes and back in draper.

 

[Ge3ks]

How about our key forwards. Sturt is the new macho man. He has been learning from the Book of Treacy. And Amiss got over his goal kicking yips. Jackson causing chaos. Firing on all 8 cylinders.

they brought with them the same character that got them through last week when Pearce went down

 

[muckypup]

Freo havent beat anyone in the top 8 ...

[BStaff17]

I am 35 beers into a bucks here in newy and GO FREO

 

[One_Wing]

That was such an amazing win, surely we lose to Richmond at home next week to balance it out.
