Composure...

[Roachy8]

We gotta find a way of getting some of this shit...

We get plenty of the ball but when the other team applies the pressure, we plop our duds.

#1 problem IMO...

Shaun Grigg puts zero defensive pressure absolutely NONE and when opposition sides dominate him it's no coincidence it's his direct opponent who dominates. !

They shouldn't of subbed off helbig! What a pathetic end to the game...

 

[Roachy8]

We hit the front with 2 minutes to go and set up like it's any other centre bounce...
Freo hit the front with 1.20 to go and push everyone back into defence...

I dunno sometimes.

 

[living_in_syd]

We no small crumbers out the back for that last pack mark. Fffs anyone there and we couldn't at least scramble a point.

Nahas was on and good. Any bets they send him back to vfl ffs

Morris out!
That was the diff.
Stink breath Ballantyne does not kick 4 on Morris.

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Geez we look slow. Need a serious injection of pace in this side.

Agree,but i'm more dissapointed in Lid's inability once again to break a tag.

 

[wart101]

FFS what is it gonna take for us to take the next step!!!!!! do we need to cull some more players, fitness coach or assistant coaches!!!!!!!!!!! getting so sick of this!!!!!!

 

[DustinsGuns]

I tend to agree. We don't have any slow players, but we are missing the outside runners like Hill, Spurr, etc

 

[Googstar]

Dumbest football team in the land by a mile......

 

[Harmichael]

Need to actually recruit some first for a change.

Yes.

 

[Mile High Tiger]

We were flogged statistically for much of this game - in the end we were only about 30 possessions behind them.

Freo away is a tough one and we deserve credit for the way we fought back and nearly won it. Plenty of good signs.

Composure: The one thing keeping me from going outside and smashing every window I can possibly see in sight.

Surely you are not suggesting it was an honourable loss?
Thought we were past those...



(Agree though, credit for the fightback etc...)

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Not the end of the world people.Frustrating to get so close yes,But realisically Freo over there was always going to be hard to beat.

good point roachy, gee helbig was ordianry, every bit as useless as farmer

Yeah I was pleased to see Helbig selected though I'm not sure how much he has played primarily as a small defender... reckon he would be better around half forward and changing through the middle.

 

[fleabitten]

Could have very easily won that game, no easy task in Perth against a coach who has a game plan that we've struggled with for many years. Another few seconds and the game is at least a draw. A few dodgy/weird umpiring issues and it could be a win, too. I'm not too interested in honourable losses either, but that was one right there.
