Autopsy Draw

I started leaving once Bobby Hill kicked the goal...

I'm well out the stadium and some fan goes up to me and says Freo are one point behind and we have to go back. Said we couldn't because it's bad juju.

Couldn't believe we came back from 25 points. We looked horrible.

it was a high pressure game, and our boys went for it

Treacy taking on Maynard was awesome and showed his passion

 

[poshman]

You deliberately being a smartass, or just clueless?

It was a genuine question. I didn’t have him as close to best on ground against the dogs.

Walters 16 possessions and 1 goal. (Best on?)


Treacy 12 and 3 goals
Jackson 15 and 2.2
Banfield 22 and 3.1
Serong 37
Fyfe 37 and 1.1

Are you being rude for any particular reason?

Much better than an honourable loss

Shoutout to Bailey. That goal from 50 was great. Really good game awareness.

 

[cactuscall]

That was some unexpected light at the end of a pretty grim tunnel tonight. Loved the fightback, hated the rest. The continuous handballing to players and putting them under instant pressure was incredibly frustrating.

Assuming Geelong can beat GWS at GHMBA, we're in the 8 for the week. (Can't see Saints beating Melbourne)

 

[fnerd]

Chappy was huge tonight. We have weapons with Clark and Chappy coming out of half back. That mark in the last was huge!

Yep almost everything he does is class.
Injuries really have slowed him from showing it consistently .
Couldn’t believe people writing him off as overrated

Don’t care what anyone thinks sits comfortably alongside jacko and amiss as our most talented young players

 

[FreoGirl]

they will analyse this to death and miss Bobby Hill's running too far, along with all the sus frees in the first quarter

Much better than an honourable loss

Let's face it, it's a win considering what unfolded tonight.

it must have been a set play, but Jackson kept handpassing to Young when Young had 3 players on him - it's something we need to be more aware of when we play more experienced teams like the Pies - they were too predictable

There were so many times where the handball was absolutely the right option but we kept hand balling to the feet of the player and made it hard for them

Guys it’s raining…holy shit..l

it's like our goal kicking - eventually BOM are going to get it right

 

[Simmofreo]

Is that our 1st draw?

No. I went to the sydney v freo one at the SCG. It sucked

We were down by like 40 points at 3/4 time. Was an incredible comeback

How big was Wagner in the final five minutes? He literally drove our resurgence on the rebound. He needs to stay in the side so we can rest Draper.

Down by 5 goals with 7 minutes left it absolutely feels like a win lol. The sharp kick at the end is a big what if, but the fact that we were the team that had the shot to win should never have happened.

 

[Feathercap]

I really don’t understand the posters making negative comments about JL.
He’s got us playing in a way that is consistent & competitive every week barring one anomaly against the Eagles.

If we were able to replace the poorly skilled players like Emmett & cooked Walters with decent players plus have the confident, accurate Amiss back & Jackson could actually start taking some contested marks up front so we’re getting fair value for our forward entry we’d take it up to anyone.

It’s not far off. It’s skill & forward connection we lack. The game plan & connection/effort of the players is fine.

I always rate your takes and this is pretty fair.

Darcy Moore’s comments after the match were interesting - basically said we had been attacking the corridor all day and they held us off but we broke them at the end.

We are a weird one - we are clearly trying to attack and handball but don’t quite have the talent forward to get it humming. But signs are there

I feel the same. That Sharp goal would've been icing (extremely delicious icing) but i didn't feel let down by the miss in the context of it all.

If we kick that goal, Collingwood take it out of the middle and get back in front who knows.

 

[Lach72]

Dogs game.
Draper, Walters, Emmett, I agree with everyone they're not playing well enough.

We need to persist with Fyfe and Darcy.

Why do we need to persist with Fyfe.


He is getting absolutely torched defensively. Hs kicking is shit, his kicking for goal is worse.

Brodie must be sitting there shaking his head… “I’m not bad defensively these days and I can kick”

I know, and some believe he should be dropped!

 

[Freomaniac]

Is that our 1st draw?

Nope. Swans at the SCG in 2013.

I remember that game too funnily enough. Michael Johnson, Ironically one of our better tall defenders kicked a goal from 50 metres out late in the game too.

a fit Fredericks and Cox would have given us more speed as well

it's coming

 

[Nodgey]

Watching the last Q and with around 9:21 to go in the last there’s a ball-up on the wing and Sidebottom just dumps the ball in the ground instead of giving it back to the ump. Umpire Nicholls shakes his head in frustration that the ball wasn’t given back to him. You could see he was pissed off.

So when Hodgey, Richo et al on the commentary complain about how there wasn’t a warning before that time wasting free that led to the Darcy goal, there was. And Collingwood reaped what they sowed.
