It is funny looking at it, I can't remember too many Lyon sides that had comebacks because generally that era was all about blowouts by half time then the foot came off the accelerator. How many times did we have a 6-8 goal lead and win by 2-3.
Since JL has taken over in 2020 I can count 9 notable comebacks, apologies if I have missed any.
9. Rd 20, 2021 vs Richmond at Optus Stadium, this game was a slog but have included it, 9pts down in the 4th qtr Freo led by Brayshaw's 39 touches, Tabs 3 goals, a rising star nomination from...
There are plenty of fixture quirks with all teams. I think we were slated to play them in 2020 before COVID hit so we played them in QLD then last year we played them in Adelaide the week before Gather Round which was I believe a club request to give us an away game in Adelaide.
No changes necessary but maybe switch the sub, I guess any of Johnson, Fyfe, Emmett, Banfield & Jaeger could be a candidate for various reasons and Erasmus or Brodie could make a claim to do that job.
I have seen a few potting Walker, yes early he looked a bit shaky but his 3rd qtr I thought...
I don't know if he has dropped off, he was quite good opening round without hitting the scoreboard, kicked 2 in rd 1 but was unsighted especially early, last night he was not awful and he was committed fully which is his best point, he would die for his team. He was never a superstar, a late...
Last two times, Rd 1 vs Stk last year he missed 7 weeks after the game, the draw against Richmond in 2022 he missed 3 games then played 1 but was injured and then missed the finals.
It's a very real possibility, the 6 day break is one thing but then next week we are playing Friday so that's...
Anyone think Fyfe might sit out, Marvel surface has not been good to him over the years, 6 day break with another 6 day break ahead next week. I am not saying he needs a rest, purely the venue but the added factors mean I can see it happening.
Quirk of the draw, and I don't think it is an advantage or disadvantage but during rounds 6-20 (14 games for us plus a bye) we play 5 teams twice in that period. Usually most of the double ups you get a couple out of the way early. So for some teams we will not play them until we have played...
Best thing I have seen, each jumper I saw I thought "yep that is the best one", amazing stuff.
Richmond, Brisbane, Adelaide, Stk & North the absolute best.
Sturt will slot in on a flank to the Freo Dockers "What If" team of all time.
Barlow/Hayden had amazing careers given their injuries but I reckon both would've been AA chances without the leg breaks. I had to slot in the two Harley's on back flanks. Morabito Captain as I reckon he would've got...
G'day Mero, in rd 17, 1997 vs Hawthorn at Waverley Freo wore the home jumper with white shorts, no idea why. I can probably fish out a pic later if needed.
Horses for courses, the reality is even if one person is named captain it is still a collaborative effort leading a footy team.
I think in WCE's case it is a perfect choice to bridge the gap for a couple of years until someone else raises their hand to take them out of the rebuild phase. They...
People whinging about future 2nd for Henry, yes 2nds get pushed back but we are probably looking at it from a points value, there is always a club or two who needs a 2nd rd for points, package that with a Pies 1st and we might move up the order a fair bit and end up with a couple of top 10 2024...
What day of the trade period do we hear about Liam willing to go to the pre season draft and be taken by WC or North?
I reckon we will get 4-5 days in before Col pulls this trick out, he has already had Sumich and others write about that being a possibility to plant the seed. This has been 12...
He was a great player for us those years, very underrated but after his injuries he has lost a yard of pace and agility. I hope he goes well but I think Sydney offering 2 years is silly.
It would’ve been nice to keep him but some of you are losing your mind, saying it’s critical we keep him.
He has played 6 games in 4 years and most of those were the last 4 of this season. He had a horrific ankle injury and A two year contract for a guy with a flag in his pocket not in our...
The media on the east coast went at Simpson hard, any coach under the pump is an easy target for the media.
What do we do if we're say 7-8 and 10th at rd 15, can you just do nothing and limp and see what happens at rd 23, do you cut him free then and there, I don't think you can give him 1...
Is there a coach under more pressure next year?
No contract, more players leaving, none of note sound like coming in the other way. The fixture better be kind or he could be in some trouble by rd 8-10!
I would’ve said Hinkley but he got two years and it seems Port are happy winning home &...
