Training 2026 Training Reports

Amiss with 4 goals? Suma with the tip top "my mail" reckons watch this space. Very unhappy with his role and wants out of Freo.

lol they tried that one last trade period

 

[FreoRicci]

Three forward synergy look better. Amiss has a more refined role by the looks

 

[s_wd6]

Treacy, Amiss, Walker and Reid best on

 

[Duz97]

I thought today would make the final 3 spots in the best 22 easy. Now I have more questions
Jom Walker worner Ras johnno all looked really good

 

[Docker82]

Young was the best in the comp at one stage.

Reckon we've had some good kicks over the years. Obviously a few bad ones as well.

Mundy, Walters and Stephen Hill come to mind as good ones.

Was JOM playing the same role as he was in the SOO game?

 

[apuchar]

Scerri's the guy I think.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Nice litle hit out in very windy conditions. Amiss and Treacy the biggest positives, Amiss particularly exciting IMO given his last couple of seasons. Young looked short of a gallop or in complete cruize control getting through to round 1.

Murray left a bit out there to be desired and opened his early running spot for Scerri to take it.

Another game like that from Walker next week and he'll clearly have pushed ahead of Warner to get his spot back.

Counting chickens in February?

 

[Sean_09]

Jye getting a contested mark brings a tear to my eye

Back to back contested marks, Treacy first then to Amiss. NSFW stuff there

Biggest positives:

• Murphy picking right up where he left off last year. No signs of second year blues.
• The form of the 3 KPF's. No sign of last year being a flash in the pan for Voss. Amiss back to leading at the foot and looking better than he did all last year. Treacy looking like Treacy.
• Some signs we've been working on that quick play on overlap handball finally.

Biggest negative:

- That woeful first qtr. We've just come off a final where we came out looking timid and scared and lost to a team we should have beaten who came out far more composed than us. So practising yet again giving the opposition a 4 goal head start is not what I wanted to see. His inability to get the team fired up to throw the first punch is easily JLo's biggest weakness imo.

Realistically apart from Walker, most of those guys were already B23.

Pretty good hit out. Looked the better team for basically the whole game outside the first 10 minutes. No visible injuries.

In terms of new guys:

McVee - looked really rusty but could play a key role for us
M Cox - looked a solid backup but nothing more. Better that Reidy but worse than Darcy
Murray - Tried hard and looked decent for a pressure forward but won’t be in the starting time unless injuries
Scerri - didn’t get much of a go but looked pretty good in a short time. Won’t be B23 for now.

I’m taking nothing out of that first quarter when the wind was that bad.

Is there a world we por que no los dos with Walker and Worner? I despise seeing 8 defenders selected in a team, but the last spot in the "best 23" will probably come down to the 2nd best of Worner/Walker vs the 4th best of Wagner/JOM/Johnno/Ras vs a shake-up like Murray or going full giant with both of Darcy and Cox playing (yuck).

Worner played pretty well also though , distributed the ball quite well for him…. is McVee a lock because he was by far the worst out of those 3

 

[Jezzitizle]

Good solid hit out, lots to like and there were many passages where they tried to go quickly, often scoring from it.

 

[estibador]

The wind isn't what caused us to get absolutely thrashed at the centre clearances though.

Was what helped the eagles get so far ahead

McVee, whether fair or not, is absolutely a lock to start

 

[freo84]

It was a practice match.

We played a vanilla style. Just wait until we bust out the vanilla with chocolate sprinkles against Adelaide before losing our minds.

I dont see it personally. There's just no need to play 8 defenders, even with the extra player this year. I would lose my shit if they play Cox in the team with our normal full strength talls. He's clearly a depth option and nothing more

Unless we leave Ryan out of the team till he gets 100% fit

 

[ImperialPurple]

Are there any stats available?

 

[Cesoir]

Was what helped the eagles get so far ahead

What helped the Eagles get ahead was the fact that we were lazy and / or lethargic for the first 15 minutes, something that has been a pattern for a long time.

If we are to be serious contenders we just need to fix that.

I know, preseason, whatever it needs to be addressed - good sides will punish us.
