hmmm, depends which mix we play.
brayshaw, johnson, jackson, switta isn't slow. once its in general play. the inside mids can rotate with switta.

They were talking about Carlton’s midfield

All good, agree with the above, I was responding to a Carlton poster so wasn’t talking about the Freo midfield. You’ve got a good mix.

ah, my bad.

we are kinda small though when we play our faster midfield though.

Top of the ladder

On top of the ladder…12 points clear.

A mulligan away from winning that despite never having the lead all game.

Hardly panic stations

Astute observation Matthew.

Astute observation Matthew.

Garbage in, garbage out.

Freo at their best can beat anyone but I wouldn't be surprised if you lost your next game. There's performances like today, but there's ones like against West Coast. You're a Jekyll and Hyde team.

At the same time, undefeated in 7 of the last 9 games.

Meh. Sydney lost to Richmond. It happens. Got done by Sydney in Perth 2 days after Cam's death kicking 4.15 and a hard running Bullies away after the bye (when we always lose). Every other loss 10 or under. Hardly a Jekyll and Hyde.

 

[FreoGirl]

Great win Freo!!!

 

[FreoGirl]

I’m one of the 3 who picked the correct margin!!

 

[Toffee Lion]

Garbage in, garbage out.

I'm not sure if you actually read the fine print of my original post.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

For all the talk of "Freo haven't beaten a top 8 team!"

Now we have somehow beaten 3

 

[Black Saab]

Watching the game on delay and just saw the finish. Excellent game by the Dockers, really hard result for Logan and the Swans.

Sydney are just so clean and efficient with their ball movement. They have this over every other team in the comp.

The Dockers were impressive and their forward line is starting to shape up.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Actually blaming umpires?
Get real

Just knew the umps would be copping it in a 1 point loss and so it is.

 

[matthew_s]

Just knew the umps would be copping it in a 1 point loss and so it is.

They were terrible and made more than a few decisions that ended in either team scoring, so why shouldn’t they be scrutinised?

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

TBF the free kick count was pretty much even in the third/early fourth and somehow ended up 17-9

 

[longsuffreosupp]

And they would've copped it if Freo lost. They lifted for the Swans in the last quarter.

Yeah 19 frees to 9 I think it was

 

[bloodsbigot]

Poor commentators. So flat.
Why do they pump Sydney so much ?

COLA, Academy, Lance Franklin going there for free..

You're kidding? They were masturbating over freo.

 

[FreoRicci]

Just knew the umps would be copping it in a 1 point loss and so it is.

Hardly fair though.
17-9 for the match is actually great for a close match. Rather than 25-18 etc.

What'd you think of the down field free against Taylor Adams?

 

[FreoGirl]

That was a huge ask for a team on a 5.5 day break, that had to travel, had lost their captain, and gone in with a puttied up backline (2 rookies) - they beat the top team who got to sleep in their own beds for two weeks. The impossible happened

 

[Moist Biscuit]

The bullshit downfield and other gifts didnt help , geez louise, Fyfe throws and drops it cold a lot,


But flip side too many passnegers freo outworked us, annoying to lose, but 1 point , fought it out,

Oh f*** off . Plenty of shockers went both ways, the result had nothing to do with the umpiring, giving up 44 points in a quarter did.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

What'd you think of the down field free against Taylor Adams?

What did you think about Warner running over his 15 m before disposing of the ball? 17-9 free kicks Sydneys way.
