Review Freo go down against the Hawks

[Randomizor]

I’ve done some more analysis on the game and come to the following conclusion:

Clearly complaining about playing in Tasmania is not an effective strategy. We should instead try learning how to play there.

 

[Randomizor]

Possibly second. Instead down To 7th.

Choke much?

We won’t win anything until we learn to handle expectations. That’s why it’s so frustrating for other supporters to be happy with results like these.

 

[BettercallSaul]

They put McKay there. Case still stands.
What’s the win/loss ratio with taps differential with Jackson lone ruck v Darcy and Jackson. Feel like it’s pretty stark.

Yeah I’m not sure re stats but because they are such different ruckman , if one is a bad match up you use the other. The other issue is that maybe JL just doesn’t rate Reidy.

 

[thistimeforsure]

It’s just a dumb hypothetical but I still think we are only a Blakers and Shoota away from a being a flag shot this year

Told ya’ll big Lloyd is the business , if you don’t think he would have towelled up Darcy as well you are dreaming

Fixing up whatever is wrong with Amiss should be top priority.

Along with getting rid of the cooked players.

Guys c’mon we showed up and just fell short in a tight contest.
Mitchell himself said the travel and home ground advantage was probably the only difference at the end of the day. It’s not an excuse but it is a thing sometimes in close games.

I don’t know when we were all of a sudden expected to go undefeated for the rest of the season?? We just had a string of 3 consecutive wins, including knocking off the top of the ladder team away. Reload and go again next week - none of this 30 years of suffering nonsense, please

It’s the structure for me.
Treacy kicks 5 goals. The next week he’s second ruck. What’s going to happen to the forward line I wonder? The synergy/connection goes off.
Surely the coaches could see that and say Hey, Treacy’s best is as CHF let’s sacrifice Reidy for the stake of the forwards.
But no, Jackson is the star player, let’s waste him at ruck.

It is an excuse…

There’s always something…

This is it.

Treacy is the most important player in our team…Jackson is also playing better as a forward, and is helping Josh get isolated.

I ****ing hate shifting either of them

It’s a fine line tbh.
Have had enough of these losses this season- Port, West Coast, Bulldogs, that you can’t just say oh it’s Hawthorn in Tasmania. It happens too often of late.

Possibly second. Instead down To 7th.

Choke much?

And still 2, at most 4 points from second.

We bottled top 2. That’s the facts. Anything else is desperate coping.

So clear. Why you think Mitchell then put Sicily forward? No Jackson to worry about as teams usually would.
Sicily doesn’t go forward if Reidy plays. Why is that so hard to understand ?

Yes agree. Jackson goes out of the forward line as does Treacy (40%) of time and suddenly two .half J is one and half J.

That’s kinda my point though. Today, in my opinion, looked absolutely nothing like the derby or Bulldogs game, where supporters were very rightly pissed off.

Yesh, well Sicily was costing them bad in the backline as his shoulder is ****ed…he could it use his strength

 

[Nodgey]

Can’t expect much from a debutant, but I just wonder what difference Reidy may have made.

 

[Lach72]

Yes agree. Jackson goes out of the forward line as does Treacy (40%) of time and suddenly two .half J is one and half J.

In fact I hate it so much that of Darcy is out and the coach refuses to play Reidy, when Pearce comes back I’d use Cox as a second ruck

There’s always something…

It's not an excuse, c'mon, don't stoop to Randomizor levels of moaning. Team lost against a decent team, its not the end of the world on their home deck. The comp is too even and there is basically 13 top 8 worthy sides.

No one is happy, everyone is disappointed and a little bit grumpier unfortunately for the loved ones but it's extremely hard to win all those hard games and people melting after every loss is just so tiring to read through. Let's at least save the melts and dooming for losing to actual shit sides.

You’re not the boss of me man

Add on Carlton and Port though, suddenly it’s a season of almost.

[Channels]

If Essendon, Lions, Port and Giants all win, I think we'll be in 7th by the end of the round.

Have we thought of Walters sitting on Switta’s shoulders?

So ignorant. No doubt you'd say the same if it was a more obvious advantage like an extra player.
Man up lads, doesn't matter they have an extra player, just have to learn to win a man down.

Idiotic mentality to ignore things that affect performance. They're not excuses, they're in built inequities.
