I thought GWS would at least put up a fight to farewell their coach.

Limp dick football club.

Not as easy when you don't have the AFL force feeding you draft picks.

Freo getting a little reality check at the moment.

is there a top 4 team who hasn't had a reality check yet? We've had ours, Freo are having theirs.

 

[Plugger35]

Freo being shown up as top 4 pretenders, we look more deserving of top 4 than them but like most teams they have an easier fixture than we do.

Probably just Melbourne. But their reality check is coming when we win the prelim against them in the September rain.

They’re all over them. Must be one of their most impressive wins.

Momentum’s a hell of a drug.

This is embarrassing for freo. You thought we were rabid after the port loss… ain’t got nothing on this for freo.

GWS showing some fight - Zac Williams a big loss - looks done for the year.

Suns with Witts are a different side. He's easily their most important player. I rate him up with the absolute best rucks in footy and a big tough leader to bring the kids along behind.

back into this Suns team and they are definitely Top 8 material, they may even make it this year

I'm sensing our team is growing with the challenge ... we're never going to get kissed on the knob with fixturing, so we might as well use it to our advantage, and just go win at GMHBA, Adelaide Oval, the Gabba, etc., and just take a "No prisoners, no surrender, no f**ks given" mindset to it all.

It’s funny how we talk about rucks sometimes being over rated but it swings the other way. We forget how impactful a properly good ruck is.

I have him in my Supercoach team, he's a gun, probably the 3rd best ruckman behind Gawn and Ryder.

Just gave (a slightly injured but isn't he always) Darcy a bath which is no mean feat.

I honestly think that Freo are the most overrated team in the comp at the moment right now (Carlton a close second)

For example, Freo have the following

Wins: 6th, 7th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th (yes that is correct 5 of their 7 wins have come against the 5 bottom teams)
Lost: 5th, 12th

In saying that their win against 6th placed Carlton doesn't inspire too much confidence as Carlton are a bit the same not having beaten a top 8 team this year except for an underdone Richmond whom if they played now would easily beat them IMO

 

[HunterClarksHeadband]

Geewhiz, GWS are so f*cking sh*t. Like how do you have that many “good” players and constantly mess up every inside 50 AND kick out of defence? Yikes

 

[Hayes4PM]

Suns got up, now we just need GWS to knock off Carlton

 

[Plugger35]

Hopefully the Giants can overrun Carlton in the last quarter, they really should be winning this game but they are making hard work of it.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Close AFL game and it sounds like Trevor Barker oval when the Zebs are playing Southport .

Geez just heard Steele needs surgery and will be out 6-8 weeks

Yeah sucks, we're going to have a few hard ones .

GWS seriously weak as piss. Making Carlton look good

Giants flat track bullies now. They’ll beat the sides they should beat but won’t challenge many above them. New coach might spark something for a few rounds though.
