Game Day Freo vs Melbourne (Round 6)

[freo84]

No fix there, blatant free kick given away by Darcy, he's just not coped with Gawn at all.
Arguably OMac has actually rucked better against Gawn.

And AP now hurt.

3 50/50 calls in a row...

 

[Taylor]

They completely took away any marking transition game we had, making us start all our scoring chains from half back after losing the clearances.

 

[CapitalA]

Jackson in would have done nothing to change this result.

Abysmal team selections, really poor preparation during the week, really poor game plan, really poor gameday coaching.

But of course it was all injuries and bad umpiring that cost us this one.

Easily the most protected coach in the comp, about time the true reviews of this coaching scheme and 5 years of stifling negative pointless game structure were truly aired.

Worst part is before the "Longmuir system" so many of our younger players have such joy, drive and pure attacking skill. But no, lets keep JOM in the centre square, with Banfield always in the team, and turn MJ into a slogging behind the play space occupier who is instructed to maintain space and run away from contests.

Just no heat on JLo at all is just bizarre, with Gar-lick leaving to go back to the AFL House role we should all get used to Longmuir coaching us until at least ANZAC Day 2027.

Just pathetic coaching, such a poorly delivered gameplan over 5 years that just never changes.

Although you make some reasonable points, having Jackson in would have made a massive difference.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Typical for posters to resort to insulting players.

The loss is shit and our effort isn't there off double travel and a six day break.

Kudos to Melbourne for actually showing up for the first time this year.

Darcy and Young will be better for the smashing.

The whole team got beaten. Some of the kicks inside 50 were awful, Treacy well off today, he had a no name defender and did very little, but no criticism for the star.

Keep going at your whipping boys though.

You're right about the potting of players but that's still just terrible excuse making to point to double travel and six day break. It was terrible effort and terribly coached. Very mid/lower-mid table stuff.

 

[Purple Jesus]

We’ll see who laughs come September. How will you go without Kozzie? He was just auditioning.

Nah, Darcy was getting smashed and we had no other viable option.

Jackson would have been very handy.

Lol always excuses for the club isn’t?

have you mention injuries yet?

 

[Demons09]

Losses like this and to Sydney is why we don’t make finals

Yep you point to games that cost us finals every year, last year it was WC and Essendon this year it’s the two you’ve named but i doubt they’ll we’ll be close enough with this shit truck of a coach what a waste.

 

[FreoRicci]

Hmmm Switta is in for goals…wait no…it’s pressure…no it’s tackles.


Hmmm I’m out of ideas

0 goals, 0 tackles.
Would love to know what Switta is in for. Most overrated player on the list

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

They completely took away any marking transition game we had, making us start all our scoring chains from half back after losing the clearances.

Melbourne didn't take anything away, we surrendered meekly all of the gameplan and never adjusted all game. Meek coaching surrender.

 

[WilloTree]

Our squad was far superior, you have to put this one on JL. Dudley for one should have started.

Two players could have killed us, Pickett and Gawn. What plan did he have for them?

They had a plan for Serong, and Pearce didn't see Petty coming. Comprehensively out-coached.

Someone mentioned he doesn't have the tank for 4 quarters. He's a sub or nothing I'm afraid.

 

[Boppo]

You’re a joke.

That was a disgrace from the coach and the whole team bar Bolton.

The whipping boys were worse.

Frederick turns up one week in 4.

Switkowski does nothing every week.

And the whole midfield needs to be read the riot act

Quite right. Freddy, Banners, switta..go earn some bruises somewhere.

 

[Taylor]

You're taking a lot away from the Melbourne midfield there, they completely over ran the Dockers.

 

[mattis117]

Lol always excuses for the club isn’t?

No excuses, should have won and didn't. Just pointing out how pathetic it is to target Darcy and not give credit to the opposition.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Not sure what the count is, but Melbourne got a hell of a lot of rough decisions.
We can't pressure teams.
Are tackling is weak, if at all.

Our defensive press is diabolical.
Massive holes & Oppo players just walk it through.

21-19 their way, but its the non calls that killed us.

 

[poshman]

Lol always excuses for the club isn’t?

If you read the post the criticism was of the club and the point was we shouldn't be insulting individual players.

In your disdain you didn't even manage to lay a glove on the argument made.

 

[Lach72]

Go fk yourself lach

 

[Taylor]

Seriously, go look at the tracking data. There's two Freo players on the entire page. Sharp for distance and Bolton for speed.

That's it. They out worked us.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Never want to see poor Draper have to play on a sub 180cm forward ever again .

 

[freo84]

We got flogged in the middle. Gawn ate Darcy for breakfast and left no crumbs.

 

[Fabregas]

Melbourne well and truly outplayed us. They still have a few stars there and aren't as bad as people think but definitely a game we needed to bank. We didn't have the legs all day. Defense looked shot but that was just lack of midfield pressure. Felt more like a 40pt loss

 

[WilloTree]

Melbourne didn't take anything away, we surrendered meekly all of the gameplan and never adjusted all game. Meek coaching surrender.

Surrender? We kicked 3 of the last 4 goals and kept then to 1 goal in the last.

Shocking take.

Jackson would have been a better match up on Gawn than Darcy - his aerobic capacity would be far superior than both

 

[pavstar]

Enjoy your ski trip at the end of the home and away season….

 

[poshman]

21-19 their way, but its the non calls that killed us.

Like the Brayshaw holding the ball in the first who had the ball for less than half a second but two that weren't called against Pickett who threw the ball out in tackles within two minutes of the same play. One of which led to a goal. We didn't lose because of it, but the club needs to pay some influencers to highlight these over and over for the coming weeks.
