Review Freo defeat Dees by 2 pts

[ydraw]

Yeah it's the first game I've ever watched.

We don't have to agree but you can keep try to minimise your sniping comments.

Gerard is a bit of a flog. Why should you care what I think. Enjoy the win.

You telling everyone to enjoy the win while whining about the only commentator that remotely backs Freo.

We were spent in the end and it showed. Johnson played an incredible game especially in the final quarter, our seniors saved us in the end.

A few more tweaks in our ball movement into our inside 50 as shown in the 3rd is lethal and with a bit more consistency we'll punish on counter attacking opposition turnovers.

Today is a good day.

Little bit different to last week, this week the first half was pretty much deplorable on all counts (although I tuned in late) and the fourth quarter looked like setting up the Demons for a win.
There is a lot to sort out with decision making, and players getting a little over excited with the goals in front of them. It's been some pretty ugly football at times. But it's a work in progress, and the young players look like they have plenty of upside to them. I'm really liking the looks of Logue (in any position) and Balic was better today too.

Once again, the old hands stood up and showed the youngsters the way, and once again they responded.
I can't say enough about the leadership shown by our older brigade these last couple of weeks. They haven't given up, they haven't put the head down when the game is in the balance, and they've shown the younger players how to fight.
Mundy was immense at times, and one critical period in the third where he got us back in it with a couple of handy goals was immeasurable in terms of impact. Can't say enough about Lachie Neale, and Sandi stood up and delivered in the last 20 minutes or so after a poor start. Walters. Fyfe, as usual.

No doubt in my mind we have a very, very solid core of players who'll take us forward the next few years. It'll be a shame to see Mundy go.

Hopefully Silly and Walters, pull up okay. Both are guns and need to be healthy if we are to keep up this kind of footy / improve.

Good point about MJ. Was probably close to our most important player in the last.

 

[heavho]

Neales new role whatever is it forward/mid is a really good move.

 

[Gekko71]

Hell of a win...

Or at least, so I'm told..

* you channel seven.

Also mods, on the days that Channel seven delay the broadcast by a full two hours, can we please not close the game day thread before the FTA match has even started?

Go freo.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Rebuild complete. Nice

We used a lot of diesel tickets in the 3rd QTR , today is a great day!

 

[electricfeel]

Time to watch it again on channel 7. That third quarter.

 

[GetDimmaBack]

Great win, that!
I was hoping you guys would get up.

Well done!




...also sorta heals a little wound for us

 

[Cayman Docker]

So let's here it from the experts on how crap we are?

 

[Ysaye]

Neales new role whatever is it forward/mid is a really good move.

For me this also balances up the centre-square as well, allowing us to play defensive / tagger players there and also play a tall centre team.

 

[estibador]

I must say, that rebuild was really tough.

Good thing Saints were able to get rid of Lyon so theirs would only take 6 years.

 

[Ysaye]

We used a lot of diesel tickets in the 3rd QTR , today is a great day!

We didn't have many rotations in that third quarter - I thought it was inevitable that we were going to be a bit tired in the fourth as a consequence.

 

[estibador]

Neales new role whatever is it forward/mid is a really good move.

It's a sign of what a quality player he is that he's managed to become a serious goal threat while many of the other inside mids we've tried up there have found it so tough.

 

[Ripper]

I must add that the Dee's are a great team , they will win more than they lose this year I reckon.

 

[Banker]

So let's here it from the experts on how crap we are?

They weren't wrong as it caused us to force out the spuds.

Our young players have much better skills and footy awareness.

I have to disagree with your comment on the first half. We were the better team in the first qtr despite them having more shots. In the 2nd it was all us but we couldn't land scoreboard pressure. Then for 10 minutes they got on a roll and we folded.

Despite the momentum we got a goal back before half time which was critical. Watch last years finals series for momentum swings. It's never been a bigger factor in footy. Today was no different.

 

[holy diver]

The will to win in the last quarter still has me buzzing especially when a lot of the guys looks tired from the momentous third quarter plus Stephen Hill's injury - which I hope isn't too serious.

 

[free at last]

OMG our midfield division in that 3rd quarter was nothing short of breathtaking.....Massive massive confidence booster that win!

Couldn't be prouder or happier right at the moment!

Good lord Sheridan butchered the ball to Crozier in the first

Young guys learning valuable lessons about fighting to the end and winning close ones. I hope the club doesn't put any pressure on having to make finals and persist with this young group as a rebuilding year.

Special mention to Blakely's job on Jones. Although his disposable is questionable, Jones didn't have much influence on the game
