Game Day Freo v Carlton

[academicbowl]

We aren't playing to the conditions at all. Trying to be cute with the handballs, makes no sense. Get Serong out of the centre bounces if he's being tagged, offers nothing. I don't know what we can try because all the mids have been poor, maybe Reid on ball to get him involved. Literally zero positives to take from this game so far. Hopefully Young was just precaution but he looked a bit upset on the bench

I know it's left field and we're a bit slow on ball, but part of me thinks Treacy could have serious impact at centre bounce when things aren't going our way. We seem to get bullied. He's big, strong, powerful and aggressive. Even just for 2-3 bounces to try again something.

Bolton/Switta can run through at the same time to try keep some speed on the ball.

JL will never change it up, might upset his 'game plan'.

What will our flawless coach instruct us at the long break?

Keep doing the same thing lads… he’s not a coaches arseh*le.

Imagine blaming the umps after that "effort' from Freo that half. We're playing a Carlton without Curnow/Cerra/Walsh/McGovern/Silvagni et al and we're getting smacked because they want it more. that's it.

I pointed out a few examples. I never once said that was why we were losing. Get out of your own head. We are playing crap. Simple. But that doesn’t mean as supporters we can’t point out shit interpretations of rules.

I think it is really impressive how year in year out, no matter how bad or good they are, the one constant in life you can rely on is us losing to Carlton

 

[King Tenz]

Players 100% mentally had the game won before the first bounce it's this clubs m.o when we have some form

Like clockwork with these boys.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

 

[Footskill]

Imagine Curnow and cerra were playing

 

[Footskill]

Seriously, the mids can't be always expecting the def to hold up long enough for them to wake up

 

[noise36]

If we can turn it into our best players vs their best players we can still win, but I am not sure how that happens? Tag Hewitt? Cripps?

 

[Raz]

Nah, we want him going out with someone with great genetics. I wonder if Elyse Perry is free?

Stuff Father son . we want wins now.

Just keep him focused on training and kicking goals.

 

[Freoforever86]

Winds picked up a little their way again too.
If we’re more than 4 goals down at 3qtr time we’re done. Need to find a way to stay close here

 

[FreoRicci]

I’d throw Voss in the middle. Not afraid to go in hard. Tag Hewett

 

[Demons09]

Motlop running rings around us omg.

 

[Cobbler]

Carlton’s second halves have been diabolical, but I just get a feeling they will put foot on throat and win by 40+.

If they can drop 10% we’re still a massive chance, but I have zero confidence.

 

[freo_leo29]

Time to give retro round the heave ho

 

[Freofalcon]

We’re nothing without Young

Really hope he isn’t a Morabito 2.0

Would hate for him to have an injury riddled career

 

[Raz]

Would help if his teammates could hit him when he’s in space…

ahh i see ,. tell him to go chase the ball perhaps

 

[Footskill]

Also out talls need to be making a better contest up the line

 

[Nolo180]

Need to exploit Jacko more at ball ups and throw ins. Oppo leaving him loose and only manning him up when he goes fwd.

 

[noise36]

Motlop running rings around us omg.

0-6 tackles inside fifty

EDIT: 10k posts wtf am I doing with my life lol

 

[imperial_oz]

we’re playing abysmal .
Finals on the line again at home against shit team minus half their b22
And we’re getting ****ing owed, sorry

After choking the last 4 games of 2024
… but hey it’s all

This is exactly why you "I don't like Jlo" clowns have zero credibility.

Cripps throws, blame the coach.
HTB calls are bizarre, blame the coach
Halfway through the first quarter, sack the coach etc over and over and over.....

If you had a clue, you would understand that it's NOT such a simple as sack the coach. We need to play better but that's not all on the coach. Have you seen some of the decisions being made out there. It's not the coach who can't hit a target. Do you know what instructions he's given? Do you know if they're being followed? Have you been watching the blocking and holding off the ball?

You have NFI just an agenda and frankly you and a couple of other nuffies spend all your time moaning.

No preseason is coming back to haunt him/us.

How is that blaming the umps, there is a clear difference in what is called htb while cripps can throw it while tackled yet brayshaw gets pinged for the same. Stating that doesn't mean i think that is the reason we are losing, we are losing because we are playing shit.

I don’t think I’ve mentioned JLo for weeks but this post is completely missing the point, you’re right it’s not about any singular moment you listed but it definitely is about the obliteration in the middle where tactics are being employed against us that we are not countering and that is coaching.

Need to lift in a massive way. Lucky we aren't down by more, -10 centre clearances is diabolical
