Autopsy Autopsy vs Freo - ****

[TennisPlayerAndy]

He is captain material. Shits all over Simpkin.

The big dog had 11 touches.

Huge captain game.

 

[Jesslc]

McKercher is getting better and better

 

[Only Forwards]

Get Larkey to use space and stop him dropping back

Play the Parker calling him forward to him and ask exactly where is he running.

He needs a f***ing spell does Nick.

 

[Gasometer]

I think Larkey’s non-holding the ball in the goal square is the worst decision this season. The umpire should be given a demotion.

lol wat planet are you on? He will be umpiring the Grand Final. This current regime rewards Peanuts

 

[Briedis]

Great effort to compete right to the end. Nice to see Larkey lift in the last but would love to see him run at the ball carrier more often. We needed to be a little more composed and cleaner with the footy at key moments. Luke Mc played well. Hated the WA biased commentary

 

[Souup]

60 inside 50's when we've averaged 46 all year was really encouraging.

Pretty much the opposite of last week performance-wise though - rubbish for 3 quarters last week, good for roughly one; rubbish for roughly one this week and good for three.

Ultimately we lost because we somehow conceded 4 goals in 3 minutes in a downpour.

 

[Only Forwards]

Also lost a game in 5 minutes of footy.

This shit is trite.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Serong going out of his way to praise us.

yeah classy bloke

 

[Its a Process]

He is captain material. Shits all over Simpkin.

The bagging of Simpkin on this board is scandalous. His bone jarring tackle set up a goal in the last qtr and he would be running top 3 in the Syd. Been great this year.

 

[shintemaster]

Got absolutely cleaned up high. 3 freos players stopped for the free kick.

The soft shit that got paid high to Fremantle earlier, then, nah, get stuffed north lol.

 

[tales129]

Pavlich doesn't even know we won last week

Pavlich had every Fremantle players dick in his mouth all at once for the whole evening.

Not surprising

 

[Joshen]

Our key forwards constantly getting out marked is infuriating.

We only have Larkey and Darling and neither can take a pack grab. Even winning a one-on-one is a rarity.

 

[Psychic Roo]

Lets see if q4 was turning point for larkey. Was contesting better in first half. But he is miles off his best.

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

60 inside 50's when we've averaged 46 all year was really encouraging. Pretty much the opposite of last week performance-wise - rubbish for 3 quarters last week, good for roughly one; rubbish for roughly one this week and good for three.

Ultimately we lost because we somehow conceded 4 goals in 3 minutes in a downpour.

And those five easy opportunities gone begging.

 

[DrZaius]

Big beautiful honourable loss

 

[Possession]

That game was right there for the taking, Freo are pissweak. Frustrated.

 

[Twangler]

Yep we’re coming! Annoying for it be a loss but you’d have to feel encouraged watching that. Lost it in little moments and we’ll win these types of games next year.

Best parts for me were that
Mcdonald put in the best performance I’ve seen from him in years. Stephens playing like a top 5 pick. Logue finally turning the corner into some decent form. Sheezel getting back to his best and Parker awesome.

 

[Samsquanch]

A) Get a forward coach
B) Get Larkey to use space and stop him dropping back for the cheap fly through like he's Brett Allison.

Allison got a lot of out the back bowls KC but they usually came after a massive gut run from behind the wing, and quite a few were from finishing off something that he himself had started.

But I know exactly what you mean.

We need a forward coach.

Badly.

 

[King Corey]

People who think wins are everything are idiots.

That was a far more accurate demonstration of what we are capable of than last weeks miserable effort.

I'm an idiot then.

If we finish with 3.5 wins for the season but a trailer load of 'accurate demonstrations of what we are capable of' it's a pointless season.

The team needs the psychological feedback of 4 points. Honourable losses don't provide that no matter how much players and supporters intellectualise them to.

 

[Its a Process]

Robbie Hansen Jnr’s last qtr was sensational!

There were other positives but wrapt for Robbie.

 

[Briedis]

Really love that we are running out games now and being in with a chance to win in the dying minutes. More wins around the corner I reckon

 

[Psychic Roo]

Ldu and george disappeared in q4. It hurt us.

 

[nelroo]

The bagging of Simpkin on this board is scandalous. His bone jarring tackle set up a goal in the last qtr and he would be running top 3 in the Syd. Been great this year.

One ****ing tackle. It was good but come on where the **** was he the rest of the game??? When we need him he steps up 1 game in about 10.

 

[travelli]

Great game. Disappointing we didn't get there, but so close.

We probably won 75% of that game, except for the part in the second qtr when they kicked a few.

People in the game day thread nit picking skill errors in the wet have clearly never played footy. It becomes about intent. We had that in spades, except for the lead we gave them in the second.

 

[scottywiper]

Brave effort. But frankly I don't really care as I am sick of losing. When will we take a scalp?
We paid LDU $25k this week to be a difference maker. Shame it was for Freo.
