Game Day Fremantle vs Sydney on a Friday night in Perth

[FreoGirl]

Game is in complete "no one cares" mode now

I felt like that as soon as I saw our players after the McCarthy tribute. They would probably give Carlton the 4 points and a week off if it happened to them.

I agree with this to an extent. I will add a difference is our key forwards are very young. Add that to a lack of small attacking class and we have issues.

I have faith in Amiss and Treacy long term.
I’m 80% confident on Frederick being a good afl player for the next 10 years.

The rest of the forwards we have tonight?
Non of them will be in the Fremantle side in 2028 when this list build should be at its peak. They all need to be replaced/moved on/delisted.

I don't think anyone's been questioning the players heart or effort tonight. At most we're lamenting our (absolute) lack of class up forward. And it's exactly why Sturt's defenders (myself included) think he's worth more than his stats show. It's beyond deflating to watch our team have 3 or 4 opportunties at goal where we're unable to convert only for the ball to go to the other end straight through the middle. Especially early in the game. Sturt is one of the only players I feel comfortable with as he's lining up for goal.
Momentum is real. And if we convert a couple of those early ones we don't have the contagious effect where players are terrified to kick at goal.

I dont think it's that dire, it's not llike Sydney have been this good on goal all year, they are shooting really well, we are shooting really poorly. It's like a weird 20% swing both way that has it how it is

True. Again it's Dockers with an off night.

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

Cant get the ball off them when they can throw drop the ball all they want

So you are saying this result is because we wuz robbed by the nasty umpires?? Really?

 

[mike91]

it's mental - they simply don't want to be there

We heard you the first 20000030 times

 

[james haish]

I call him Sam Shitkowski

Plus, no matter how you're feeling mentally, even if it's something as tragic as a close death, you just have to go in and do your job and do it well.

Personal leave literally exists

Yeah and we risk them kicking another four here. Weird scoreline and result. Just strange.

 

[raffrox]

Or maybe some like having the distraction of the game? You don’t know what they are thinking or feeling so stop speaking for them please

It's almost as if we're on an internet forum where people speculate.

I've never been at a game like this in my life. The game I'm at right now definitely seems like one where one of the other teams definitely has something else on their mind.

 

[Jeba]

Swans had 2 on the mark in the ist qtr but maybe the rule was just brought in in the last qtr or so

 

[FreoRicci]

If the coaches are serious, you fully inject youth.

Switkowski is cooked. He doesn’t have pace anymore

JOM. Easily the worst recruit Fremantle have brought in 10 years.

Aish on notice.

bugger I forgot to block you again

 

[academicbowl]

So long as we avoid injury I'll be fine. Fair effort to the lads for trying, just poor skills letting us down which I can excuse with the off field stuff

I am a massive Sam Sturt fan too.

I personally would of made him in the best 18 or at worst the sub.

The game is already done. He would of kicked 2 or 3 junk time goals with 7 or 8 disposals despite offering little defensive pressure

Speculation and making definitive statements are very different things

 

[hoss]

It's an embarrassing performance no matter how you look at it.

The irony. Please do so asap

 

[vidwhal]

Brandon Walker seems to be playing well, and geez Sharpy is turning out to be a great addition.

I like your efforts

She's a broken record

The young fifty was harsh. If it was for two people standing the mark. We should have had two of those in the first quarter.

Personal leave literally exists

Of course, but a lot of us still go in and just get on with things, I lost a close friend of mine last year, I still went into work and got on with it because I knew he wouldn't want me to slow down or take the foot off.

It's obviously different from person to person, but that's how I personally dealt with a similar scenario.

 

[Freomaniac]

Good goal Jeremy sharp

In this instance, just so you and other Freo supporters can feel good with a win? How selfish and cold!
