Game Day Fremantle vs Geelong - Simonds Stadium 11.10AM WST

[Hazelsnuts]

We have an amazing future-
Darcy - phenomenal debut Rising Star nomination? We have a seriously strong ruckman who gives huge effort, next year with another pre-season, resting forward and teaming with Sandilands - can't wait.
Cox - showed more repeat efforts than a few of his more seasoned teammates, he is a jet. As a Second ruck showed his all ground capacity.
Weller - Awesome display off half back with run and carry
Blakely - our best for mine, he is getting better and better, getting his own ball.
Deluca - faded, but what a first half

 

[Outshined]

A young side getting overrun isn't disastrous...but against a side with one on the bench it's hard to feel much pride.

Really, really poor.

 

[DOCKERZ]

Has only ever played ruck. They needed him to play some senior footy and learn to play forward at wafl. We wouldn't be talking about him like this without that exp at Peel the last 12 weeks.

Griff hasn't been in the side for 12 weeks??
And we aren't talking about his good forward work today, we're talking about his good ruck work.

 

[Banker]

Only idiots blame a coach when senior experienced players like Spurr Johnson Hill Walters continuously turn it over.

Ross Lyon coaching is why we got close

And who is the person responsible for playing Spurr?

You're dreaming if you think coaching was responsible for been close. Geelong dominated us and the only master class was Ballas taking out Selwood.

It hurts but look through the telescope not the microscope , if we win those types of games we finish 9th-10 th

I think the more experienced team won it on the day. Our young guys did the team proud even with a few errors here and there but experience will come and proud of the effort. I have to say it I think spurr needs to be dropped. He is a leader making to many mistakes and I have backed him in until now. Give another young guy a go

Collar-jazz-knee gave kersten a *ing bath

 

[Rob]

What an embarrassment that purple franchise is. Just fold and go back to the WAFL and save yourself the humiliation.

You just fell over the line at home against a team that's lost their last 3 by a combined 30 goals.

Hey, great game!

 

[Grape Bear]

They're gloating that they barely scraped through against a team with two debutants and less than 20 gamers!

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Pretty shocking last quarter, the 3rd quarter wasn't great either. There are some real hacks in this team and most of us know who they are at this point.

On the other hand we saw some really good signs from big Darcy especially, Blakely and Weller, Tucker etc which is promising

 

[Eski3]

Looking at the shots of the people in the crowd makes me very thankful that I don't live in Geelong. No wonder everyone wants to move away from there

 

[masai]

Let's keep our heads, we all thought that a 50+ loss was coming up, lose by 2 points. Is that bad ?.

McCarthy & Kersten are way out of form, Fyfe to CHF, Sandi to the goal square.

There were more positives, than negatives in that game.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

The never say die attitude, THAT'S why I'm Geelong!

The amount of 4th quarters we've come back and won this year is phenomenal.

Go cats!

Yeah * off back to your own board.

 

[Freoforever86]

Griff hasn't been in the side for 12 weeks??
And we aren't talking about his good forward work today, we're taking about his good ruck work.

My point is that he had to learn more about football. Can't just throw them
To the wolves. Built his game at Peel and now we're enjoying the reward

 

[Joeltownsmith]

McCarthy needs to go back to peel, Kirsten's hopeless

 

[TheMcManusNose]

Piss.

Oh well though. Some good signs there.

Blakley, Weller, Darcy all immense.

Good signs from Cox, Tucker only ok apart from his goals which were very good. Deluca great until he copped a knock.

Absolutely piss weak by Kersten though. He is a useless campaigner apart from one or two times a game where he puts in work. I'd prefer Cox to stay in than him.

 

[westy1]

We scored 21 points in the second half, coming off a bye, when they had one player on the bench. You're the ignorant idiot pal. We we're extremely lucky not to lose the Richmond game the same way.

I'm not angry that we lost, simply that we stopped taking the game on and attacking after half time. In the last ten minutes we were playing like we still had the lead. It would've been great for moral to win that game.

Having 2 first gamers and 3 others under 5 games could have something to do with it

 

[Fabregas]

Gutted
Great effort from the boys, just couldn't sustain it in the end. Lots of positives to come out of it

Proves yet again geelong are the most overrated side this year. Danger carried them over the line

 

[jedi mind tricks]

What an embarrassment that purple franchise is. Just fold and go back to the WAFL and save yourself the humiliation.

Can we please red card this fukc stain of a human

* off idiot. Get banned.

 

[Tbonefreo]

What an embarrassment that purple franchise is. Just fold and go back to the WAFL and save yourself the humiliation.

What a way to be a total jerk.

Why dont you save yourself the embarrassment and keep paying the weapon hush money.

Ross Lyon coaching is why we got close

Ross Lyon loves Spurr and picks him each week. So you actually can blame him. The players were turning it over because everyone is in defense and not up the ground to kick to. They were fine in the first half.

 

[Superkoops]

That Cox kick into the corridor which gave Ballantyne a go at goal and then he followed it up with beautiful long handball to set Weller in motion for the last F50 was brilliant.

Last quarter we barely fired a shot and Geelong missed some absolute sitters to kick away. Young team struggled under pressure once Geelong got going early in the last.

Most annoying thing was bloody TV commentators repeatedly saying this game is season defining for Fremantle.

Our consistent bombing into F50 in the 3rd quarter was just dumb and Kersten really needs a game or two at Peel; massively down on confidence.

Also Logue will be fine but that dropped mark followed immediately by him running past the ball was very bad.

 

[DrEvil_]

McCarthy lost you the game there, absolutely no pressure, just watched his opponents walked past him all day.

 

[Rob]

McCarthy needs to go back to peel, Kirsten's hopeless

McCarthy isn't playing the right role. He's not the sort of forward that you can kick long to.

Kersten aint either. Tabs is the only one we've got that can play that role.
