And the icing on the cake is people are blaming Gray for the concussion.
Don't mind him there, as long as when things aren't going right in the middle, we can swing him into the midfield as a plan B.. Why didn't we do that?I'm starting to really dislike Boak as a forward. I think he feels the same way. It's pretty crap that the captain is playing a role he's not suited for in his prime.
I was watching North v Sydney when our game started, one of the best H&A games I've ever seen.Ugliest game I think I’ve ever watched. I feel traumatised.
Tend to agree with this. Away OS and didnt watch game but we have won a lot of games recently. We are a good side when our good players play well. But we are far from a great side. Most top 8 teams losing unexpectedly, we are no different. Those injuries though are going to make it tough. Who will stand up to fill the void.This board is pathetic sometimes. 5 wins a row and we drop one in a game where our two most important players go off injured and it's sack everyone time again. If we went 21-1 half this board would want Ken sacked for the 1.
Top 4, top 2, top whatever else still well and truly up for grabs.
If she's called Joy she's older than you.Waiting for a coffee at the local cafe. In walks a tall blonde goddess wearing a mini, high heels, looks like Scarlett Johansson. Her name was Joy.
Gee is that it?
I'm old enough to be her whatever.
Na , still depressed.
In the context of our season this game had a much bigger importance. The opposition was weak and we put up our worst performance in 2 years at a time where 2nd spot and equal with first on points was up for grabs.i don't know why but i am not as angry or depressed about this loss as i was about Essendon, Geelong and West Coast earlier this year.
*shrugs emoji*
I knew a Joy once. She had a nickname 1770. She looked 17 from behind and 70 from the front. You could be right.If she's called Joy she's older than you.
The skills still being so poor after many years under Ken is a big issue.The group of players can't deal with any sort of expectation. The Ryder and Gray injuries are no excuse for the loss, absolutely abhorrent loss.
The skill level is still very poor and hasn't changed in 5 years. Brisbane beat freo by 10 goals two weeks ago ffs and Port dish up that crap.
Amon should be traded while he has some currency left. Ebert poor since he signed a new deal, not good enough for a leader.
Such an important player to our chances of success. Burns the ball way too often imo and pushed off the ball too easily. When hes on though we usually win.Jared Polec didnt get the memo that you're supposed to lift at contract time.
Which is unaccetable given the players we have. Dixon and Motlop should also play that role more regularly than they do. I would like to see Ebert replace Sam Gray. Eberts kicking for goal is good, his field kicking us bad. Hes also a good overhead mark. This would be an attacking move. We need to attack if we are going to get anywhere that actually matters. Defensive mind sets * you over in the end.When you play this low scoring, grind out style, not much has to go wrong for you to lose.
The team that has suffered the most because of this under Ross Lyon taught us this lesson today. We just couldn't flick the switch because this year, the switch isn't there without Robbie winning the game off of his own boot.
- Motlop had been attending at least 40% of bounces in analysed game sinces Amon last played. In this match he only appeared for 21% - a significant reduction.
Maybe because I'd seen this tragicomedy a dozen times beforeIn the context of our season this game had a much bigger importance. The opposition was weak and we put up our worst performance in 2 years at a time where 2nd spot and equal with first on points was up for grabs.
I couldn't be anymore dirty with our performance yesterday.
I'm starting to really dislike Boak as a forward. I think he feels the same way. It's pretty crap that the captain is playing a role he's not suited for in his prime.
Yes Ross sent his boys out there with free licence to play as dirty as they liked and the umps allowed it.Boak’s opponent was cited by the MRP twice today. Suggests to me that Lyon is concerned enough about Boak to give him extra attention.
Freo played dirty all game and the umpires allowed it to escalate to the point that Gray was KO’d. Ford is right imo.
Lyon did say he gave his boys a light training load so they could come at us hard. How weak we are.We should've been that far ahead that losing Ryder and Gray wouldn't of made a difference. A depleted Freo coming off a Darwin trip, still absolutely filthy we dropped this one.
How many more golden opportunities to set up our season are we going to piss away with these type of performances?
Is it too much to ask for one game, to go in with an attacking mindset, you know, like 2014?

Don't be foolish and watch the replay if you don't want eye damage, yes it was that bad.Tend to agree with this. Away OS and didnt watch game but we have won a lot of games recently. We are a good side when our good players play well. But we are far from a great side. Most top 8 teams losing unexpectedly, we are no different. Those injuries though are going to make it tough.
