Gameday thread vs Melbourne

[estibador]

Late withdrawal... Kep out apparently - didn't catch who is in as the replacement though..?

Get with the times Esti that was announced an hour ago

 

[Righteo]

Melbourne by 40. Barlow or not we don't have the cattle to kick a winning score, especially in a shootout.

Yeah but I only woke up 10 minutes ago...

Do they have the cattle to do so? If we lose by forty that would be diabolical. They're not a very good team.

Hard to know how this will go. We are practically unrecognisable from what would be our first choice team. If (pre-season) you'd said Freo at the MCG without Sandi, Balla, Mundy, McPhee, Hayden, Mora. Keps, Silv, Palmer etc I would have said we'd go down by 20 goals but we have shown a bit of resilience of late from the lesser lights.
I'll be astonished if we do win.

 

[Higs]

we look switched off

 

[Lach72]

Look off here

 

[E Shed]

Early signs aren't great.

 

[muckypup]

looking very bad. no physical pressure.

 

[Lach72]

They're getting too much space, and our handling is rubbish

 

[Lach72]

Dear me. Very ordinary.

 

[believe_it]

lol . so so predictable . Where's the pressure? Why are there so many loose melbourne players? WTF

 

[dont bowl there]

I like JVB but he is a nothing late replacement.

 

[E Shed]

Oh dear. Not sure how much of this I can watch.

 

[Leslie_Chow]

Game already over.

 

[muckypup]

This is what i dont get. How can we look this bad. what are the issues here?

 

[Righteo]

They have a ridiculous amount of free men in the middle. Typical Freo of old, you know the result in the first 5 minutes of the game.

No resistance.

 

[Higs]

a performance like this was always coming, we're missing most of our team

 

[imperial_oz]

We'd look better if we actually tried to kick it to a team mate instead of just blazing away into the forward 50.

Melbourne are doing that and making us look second rate.

Add to that handballing over peoples heads....again!

 

[free at last]

15 gl flogging coming up :-(

 

[Boppo]

This is gonna be horrible.

 

[Gus]

Barlow doesn't look ready yet. May have been better off with another week.
