Autopsy Freo Belt North But Didn’t Score 100, Time to Rebuild - Rd 6, 2021

I was at that game! I was right behind that matera goal from the pocket. That was a fun day

|yep we were there too. Really enjoyed the game and going to the National War Memorial for the ANZAC service was a a real highlight. That said I think the Service at Monument Hill in Freo is as good as it gets.

Yeah nothing beats it.

I am actually a big cheerleader for North's youf. I would take theirs over most of the other teams in the bottom 6.

They just have yet to fully cut all the s**t they accumulated trying to hang on the last few years, and their senior players with the exception of Cunners and Goldy are worse than the above named teams.

Let me join the chorus of people doubting Schultz and being proven wrong. He just keeps getting better. Now have no idea what his ceiling is because he's already past where I thought it was...

I don't mind the talent they have but I question whether they have the leadership from senior players for those young players to develop properly like ours have. I thought Bailey Scott looked amazing in Rd 1 last year (he got the RS nom that round) but it seems he has gone backwards. That's probably not a great sign. Carlton are the same - plenty of talent on the list but their development seems awful.

This is intended to be inflammatory and is in jest.

If you've just seen your team smashed by almost 100 points then it's going to be hard to get up emotionally for your other team winning by less than the same margin.

The harbour masters just had a 148 point winning weekend.

You really are the. Oops I lost my train of thought.

Half of them have turned on LDU now which is premature but also hilarious.

I think Powell looks the best of their kids already. May not be super damaging but I think ends up something like Mitchell.

Has yyou turned on him though?

 

[Westy2487]

Was it hot/humid over there last night?
30 + degrees plus a bit of humidity and dew might explain why all the players looked wringing wet even though there was no rain?

Yes mate there was weather around. It’s a weird thing when you step outside your basement.

 

[Westy2487]

2016 was very bad but losing 3 games by over 100 points in 2017 including 2 games back to back stands out to me. and of course having 24 consecutive goals kicked on us in 2018..

Things are never as good or as bad as they seem.

Pretty sure BPG doesn't live in Perth but sick burn m8

have to say as someone who has been firmly in Schultz corner the whole time, it's rather satisfying seeing everyone come around! Welcome, I promise you won't be disappointed

Weather is a bit different here in Canberra at the moment, and I hadn't heard what the forecast was at the time of the game. Thanks so much for your helpful and informative response.

 

[showemhowtorock]

wow, dude literally punched a laughing mundy and then shook his hand in pain

 

[Lach72]

After that and his hit on Hughes would be quite happy if that turd got some old school tactics back

The hit in Hughes should’ve been worth two weeks.

If he’d hit someone other than Hughes it might have been worth one (Hughes is tougher than most).

 

[estibador]

Did he get anything for it? Can't see anything on the AFL site.

Was worth a fine at least surely? Blatant round arm to an unprotected player. Deliberate and cowardly.

Fine only unfortunately.

Personally I’d rather see deliberate actions such as this one punished more than accidental/slightly careless actions that has worse results.

Dangerfield got three weeks for a mistimed bump. Simpkin gets a slap on the wrist for a blatant strike. Absolute bs imo.

 

[Yeti]

Agreed.

And anyone found guilty of over 300 pinches should be banned for life.

This was the funniest thing. How is your time on the coast.

How would Crowden go with a lock down job on someone? Gaff?

 

[Scham]

Our midfield is doing a good job, yes, this week will be a challenge but I don’t see any reason to take one of our mids out to put Crowden in to tag. Just win the ball by playing “both sides of the footy”. We’ve got the class in there with Brayshaw, Serong and a dual Brownlow medalist in Fyfe, why go all defensive?

Once Kelly, Gaff or Sheed leave the stoppage, by all means lock down on them with someone else if their endurance is a problem for us, but I don’t see it.

 

[Madas]

Sheed

 

[Joao]

If you are tagging, its Gaff or Kelly.

We lose this if we let them chip it around and take a squillion marks. Gaff is a big part of that. Kelly because he kicks goals.
