I didn’t realise Zurharr is only 25…

Banfield is not why we lost against the Eagles…

Interesting! Personally I hadn’t seen that when I commented.

Congrats on new job. I hope it brings you happiness. We won’t begrudge you ‘borrowing’ extra work pens and other items that can be replenished! Bleed then dry. It will be slow going but by year 10 hopefully they won’t have the funds to support West Coast due to the cost to replace those items...

I forgive to some degree the travel and playing in those non marquee grounds. I get that and have learned to deal with it. Now the game to game breaks pops up and I’m like WTF. That’s something that should easily be able to be sorted. There’s so many options the AFL could have looked at to...

Fixtures! Has anyone noticed that we keep playing teams that have longer game to game breaks then us? After seeing Richmond play last night, I laughed when it was us that of course play them next week. They have a 10 day break v our 7 after we played Saturday night. We play Dogs who played...

Having Kersten on our list was like pouring yourself a bowl of cornflakes and then strolling to the fridge, opening it, then cursing at having no milk. You’re just left angry, but reluctantly eat your dry cornflakes because the simple thought of pouring the cornflakes back didn’t enter your...

Haha. Yeah, backing in Shane Kersten who essentially provided nothing and then bagged the club is equivalent of saying ‘I’m the only one who backed the Waco cult’ as an example of how joining cults can be great.

I agree with that to some degree, but in the example we’re talking about we definitely controlled the first 20 mins. The fact we were down 7-2 doesn’t mean we weren’t in control. It can often happen where a team takes control but doesn’t put it on the scoreboard.

Far out. I didn’t check, just know we’re regularly behind at quarter time. If we are in front it’s marginal. It’s clearly a concern.

I’d argue we controlled the game for the first 20 mins. Inside 50’s will highlight that. Was something like 16-5 at one point yet the score was 7-2. Then they kicked 3 very late in the term and game was over.

I don’t mind the style BUT we need a solid plan B and C. Once we were down we lost complete system. That’s on JL to have that plan B and on field leaders to implement. Surely it’s not that hard to push a few numbers forward of a contest and ‘gamble’ or take a kick on through the middle. It’s...

We have scored a hilariously bad 72 points across ALL first quarters this year. That’s 12 points on average. 2.2 2.1 2.2 2.2 2.2 0.3 That is amazingly consistently s**t. Someone said we wanted to be a team that throw the first punch but quite literally and figuratively we’re covering up...

It smacks of arrogance and a ‘let’s ease him in’ attitude. Is Darcy in our best 18 or not? It’s the same s**t as saying ‘managed’ when we all know Taberner was dropped. Stop being a bitch of a club. Grow a pair and start treating them as professionals. If JOM was literally any player who had...

I’d expand the bracket. We’re in that 6-12 bracket. 6 in that if our midfield and defense play as they have for first 5 weeks then we can literally beat anyone if we get reward the other way. 12 in that if we don’t dominate midfield and defense we don’t have a forward line that can make the most...

Brilliant? We’re watching different games. Been beaten and poor last 4.

I think the sooner supporters realise our forward line is beyond horrid the better. That’s not a good forward line on paper. The only one to have kicked a bag is Taberner who is well behind his average standard. Jackson ain’t a forward. Treacy is young and tries. Sturt unproven. Freddy is...

How does Emmett have no awareness? Just waltzes into goal with someone surely in his peripheral vision. Then other times when miles clear shits the bed.

He’s young. Should get 3 games. Doing him a massive disservice if we just use him as sub or drop him after one game where the whole team was poor.

They put the ball on Sturt’s head. Barrass and McGovern must have been laughing. The one time Sturt was miles out, whoever kicked it, kicked it behind him and Barrass gobbled it. It was a disaster class in coaching. No hindsight hero calls here. Every Freo supporter would ask ‘If we were to...

Brodie was only ever a 60-70% game time type even in his best year. Stick with that idea. Rotate the mids. Drop JOM 100%. Has shown nothing all year. Add pace and class. Stick with youth. Unsure how that will all look. PLEASE don’t drop Erasmus and/ or Sturt. 100% in - Brodie, Chapman 100%...

Annoyed me because he essentially waved someone off who was wide open in the pocket. May have been Sturt. Went back full of confidence and kicked it like an U16 player. Hopeless. How any AFL player can’t score from inside 50m always staggers me.

I will say that I think Brodie is the most aggressive and positive with his handballing BUT that’s like saying the free glass of water with your meal is the best part.

Not even that. Just halve a contest. He’s often the target on that long kick out from a behind and he just doesn’t get near it. We know what we have with Banfield and Hughes and a few other role players. Jackson ain’t a role player. He can go from AA matchwinner type to an absolute non event...

I’d get them kicking the ball for their pay check. Set shots. Field kicks. Whatever. Now many put in spudly performances last night but Luke Jackson has been miles off it past 2 weeks. Mis timing leaps getting out marked by opposition spuds. Out of everyone who needs a kick up the backside he’s...

They’re all accumulators. ALL of them. We don’t have a midfielder that can break a game open. When was the last time Fyfe, Brayshaw or Serong hit someone on the tit? They don’t even burst out of stoppages like elite midfielders. They’re very quick with hands and linking up BUT that’s what makes...

How bad was that. Just frustrating footy. No words. Not even close enough to make something of it. They’ll get a couple of cheapies and it’s essentially game over. Speechless.

Bolton I rate massively. He’d cost amounts we wouldn’t feel comfortable giving up but he’d instantly transform our forward half. Massive upgrade on everyone on our list. He wouldn’t be needed in our midfield as he is in Tigers. So, we would keep him in our front 6. But you could throw him in...

I mean it would never be 3x1st and 2 guys for just 2 guys. We’d get 2nds back if that sort of deal was ever offered. But, what exactly is ‘gross’ about it? We get 2 genuine impact players NOT hopefuls. We lose 2 guys not playing and some lottery tickets. It’s more laughable on this thread...

Where are we with Erasmus? Does he see a future with Freo? Do we? I really think he can be a massive part of our midfield rotations but he’s behind many in a similar role. He may have to tread water until about 2026, which I’d hope he does. As many have stated we have Fyfe, JOM, Brodie who all...
