I mean enjoying it more than most considering how often we beat up on some clubs while we were on top for so long.. Doesn't bother me, it was only a matter of time.
Should be playing midfield with Breust up there not permanent forward. Got into the game when he got moved their in the last but it was too late and that's on the coach. Making too many stubborn decisions regularly now Clarko.
I will take the win. I just don't want Freo to finish with the wooden spoon.
LeCras is either an assistant coach or forwards coach. Seems like he was had some influence on some of the kids and short mids. Crowden, Schultz and serong have been decent in the last 2-4 weeks. LeCras should take some credit.
Freo are not fielding their best 22. No Alex Pearce, hamling, Logue. Thats 3 tall defenders out. No Hogan, McCarthy and Walters. So that's 3 decent forwards out.
yep..... Pity they didn't help us in the 2013 grand final.
tonight's game was poor.
nah...... Fyfe is negotiating trying to get Brownlow medal votes for this game tonight lol
70-30 split midfield-forward is what he should be doing. Round 1 this year was the perfect example of the sort of thing we should be getting if we do it properly. 3 goals 20 disposals. We need to be dropping 1 of those mids you mentioned out of the team altogether and it should be Shiels unfortunately. Has dropped off a cliff in terms of output. Way too vanilla to match it with any decent midfield. You need some creativity in there and speed and Chad is the only one who provides that. Its time to blood Finn Mcguiness who has the attributes we need moving forward. It's cue in the rack time now and I hope Clarko understands this.
It has been a good last 4-5 years draft and trade hauls.
Happens when you're not emotionally invested in the result, or either side.
Looking back at it...... I am still bitter about that 2016 season: 0-10 and that 4-18 record. Had Freo won 6-8 games that season and didn't go 0-10, I wouldn't be bitter, just disappointed. If you are 0-5 after 5 rounds, it then starts to damage the club mentally.
Just hope he’s not getting comfortable thinking there’s a guaranteed spot there for him long term.
I get that but there wasn't a spate of holding the balls we've previously seen - maybe the AFL getting it right?
Flogged by injuries his entire career. Sadly will never reach his potential.
Sad. Had Brownlow potential.
There’s too many bull types midfielders these days. In order to stand out he has to have other qualities. He just slowed down over time and injuries too.
Has been asked to play inside and do the heavy lifting since he has been at the club. Last year in particular without Mitchell there he took a battering for the team. Need him to be receiving the ball on the outside of the pack not getting it and hacking it forward in a mass of players every week which is why he his efficiency by foot is terrible ATM. Everything is rushed. Would love for us to just take him away from the heat and utilise him like we did last week more often. Played across half forward more and had a big impact creating chances and a bit of chaos. Some of these guys can actually play dual positions it's just that we have such horrible depth in the middle they have to spend the majority of the time there.
