Game Day Freo v Carlton

[rubydoomsday]

awful game. if we hadn't had such a crap first half we wouldn't have needed to have such an epic final Q.

but then they say good sides win ugly...

good to be 5th. i'll take it. expect they have a merciless review and we start better against Port.

 

[fnerd]

Thank **** they’re undermanned - glad we’ve found a way but we’re not doing much in finals even if we make it if we can’t fix our clearance issues.

Take care of port and we should be safe for finals .
Because we’re along way off being able to beat Brisbane and bulldogs the form those teams are in

 

[poshman]

Not one of the posters you attacked personally predicted we would lose today.
All three of your posts explicitly demanded positive observations - and not just from one poster.

Yet again, given you never displayed similar positivity when you were on your attack Ross at all costs rampage, what right do you have to demand anything of anyone on this board?

I was one who said we shouldn't sack Ross. And that doing it with one game left in the season was unprofessional and a Pr own goal.

You are making things up again.

 

[Dockers v Channel7West]

In all reality we need to take stock after that and look at what went wrong in first half..
Didn't handle the pressure..
a few passengers

 

[muckypup]

113 percentage. Unlucky for some.

 

[Minz]

15.4 in s**t weather isn’t bad

We just beat Collingwood at the G. Playing Brisbane here isn't much different.

 

[Kapow!!!]

You have a hate boner for the coach. And I think it goes as far as you wanting us to lose so he gets the sack.

Keen to see any positive observations from you as we even up with them in the third and take the lead in the fourth.

Who am I to doubt Freos captain optimism. Had the balls to call it and saluted. Whereas I couldn't even committ to the basic observation that we run out games very well and they threw everything at us early.

Kudos

Still, can't exactly repeat this first half against them otherwise there won't be a game left to win in the second half. The Dogs DEFINITELY won't

Port trying to salvage some pride will be tough next week too

I think the team has grown. We were silly to start like we did and we are also playing against a mid table team with something to prove. We have a lot of guns and many of them are still growing into their game.

Jackson had a great second half.

Haha good win in the end, Carlton really brought the heat. Glad I didn’t post something crazy on here at 1/2 time even though I was really chucking the shits

Completely agree - our starts have been one of my criticisms of the coach and leadership group for the entirety of Longmuirs tenure.

Yes but with the way brissy dispatched Collingwood and gws/geelong they’re looking obvious atm.

I still think they’re the best team in it
And have the big game experience

We ll have to play even better than the pies game to beat them me thinks

Definitely far more mature. Also more cohesion and genuine belief. Need these wins to build a genuinely respectable club.

Jackson was spectacular!

Embarrassed to admit we left at half-time. Mostly because my boy was freezing into an icicle in the bleachers, but also the Carlton factor.

At least we rolled em.

PHEW!!!!

No shame in leaving if your kids are struggling.

I do hope that despite the win, they review how horrible our first half was… they just read the St Kilda textbook of how to beat us, rest assured far better sides than Carlton will read that same book, published and produced by none other than R. Lyon.

As opposed to the WAFL grand final my long-suffering father insisted on leaving which was followed by an epic late comeback. I was so annoyed as a young kid…

 

[rgauci]

Dudley shouldn’t be playing AFL. Done nothing for a while now

It’s like you willed his cameo into existence

 

[Freomaniac]

The Taberner deliberate out of bounds still haunts me
I reckon we see it every game these days and no one blinks an eyelid

That and last year's gather round game vs Carltonistan too.

Glad the dockers won

I’ll be honest and say I went down and worked in the office second and third quarter
I couldn’t handle the thought of getting stitched up by the umps again

Took a few breaths , put on the big boy pants and thoroughly enjoyed the last quarter

I agree and will note that Brisbane are a good match up for us. They don't have a bunch of inside bulls and denying corridor is something we do well when we put on pressure.

If one of my little one's was freezing I would have left as well. Far more important than the footy.
