I had to listen to the game on the radio yesterday and Brayshaw, BT and Lyon were barracking so hard for North.

LAAAAAAAAAARKEY KICKS THE GOAL AND NORTH ARE ON SONG HERE

Comapred with

Walters kicks a goal.......slow clap

Every single thing North did was met with over top enthusiasm.

Then i watched the game on the TV and it was exactly the same. Really frustrating to listen to.

was awful

Speaking of media, Pav seems to have become a West Coast sycophant with his commentary. Understandable given that he works in the WA media. Maybe I’m imagining it…

It's disappointing to lose to Geelong in the semi, but can we cash out here?

Win a final and take 6,11 and 13 to the draft.

6, 11 and 13 would be massive.

Even if we trade one of those it will still be massive.

I feel like Freo has nobody left supporting them in the media, even when they are playing well

Be interesting to see how he is on Friday

In the current Eagles v GWS game, Pav’s coming off as if he had a 350 game career with Eagles. Sounds like he’s in love with the Eagles….

. But it begs the question – what is Freo's best ruck setup once Darcy is available? The Dockers have long seen Darcy as their No.1 ruck option while Jackson has established himself as a forward target and a back-up option in the middle, but after a 2-0 start and two commanding midfield performances, Jackson's role may need to be re-assessed. The 22-year-old was key to sparking the dramatic turnaround against North Melbourne on Saturday, kicking two goals from 24 disposals and seven clearances in a clear best-afield performance. That was on the back of an equally damaging 24-disposal, 21-hitout and two-goal performance in round one. His work in the air and at ground level is unmatched, and while he would no doubt be as damaging as a forward, his presence in the middle of the ground to start this season has been profound. It's sure to provide a few selection headaches once Darcy is ready to return. – Alison O'Connor

Alison either didn't watch the game and so has nothing else to talk about, or was feeling particularly lazy methinks

Honestly would have preferred a “this norf midfield will be scary in a few years” over that regurgitated, thoughtless tripe.

Or about how it will be awesome when Freo can rotate them so we have a large body taking marks in full forward

Yeah, but that would require independent thought and not the group think that goes on over there

Is that clip from when he first started in the media? I’d imagine WCE management would’ve speared a call in to Ch 9. He’d got dragged into the Ch9 CEO office and told to wind his neck in.

Funny they are Eastern Staters…

No doubt the Worst Australian will have a picture of Harley Reid on the front cover of The Game pull out tomorrow.

 

[FreoGirl]

The front page will be about WCEs being brave. Back page will be calling for Darling to be dropped and how many pies Jones has been eating with Haselby

Would she also be in trouble if we lost to Carlton in a knock-out final?

Pretty ****ed up to be insinuating something like that.
