I really dislike comments like "didn't have the cattle"

It is called depth, Freo need to finally get some. Sadly it will not happen under Ross Lyon

I really think some MCG practice against a lesser team will be better for the Dockers players, especially confidence

Sorry AFL will not move the derby to the MCG

Forgetting the personel issue, we just got to very disciplined, and remember it's the MCG, but also keep to structures and not get sucked out too wide because of the dimensions. Some of the Hawks players had heaps of time running through the middle.

Bottom line The Hawks still are the benchmark and they were on their game on Friday.
Even with Barlow and Fyfe we may have been closer but still would not have won.
We need to get better and hope they have an off day and the ball bounces our way for a change then we could be in with a silly chance.
I believe the Hawks are better and less predictable without Buddy. Their elite kicking is what carves us up.

They did get onto the recruiting of great running kickers a bit before us and that's the difference that makes the difference:end of friggen story,but also the start of a new one!:p:D

You really have no idea do you?

The Saints used to own the MCG in their hay-day and almost won two flags. Ross is the Etihad King though.

Depth comes from recruitment and development from the draft and has nothing to do with Ross Lyon. Have you been on the Saints board or something?

If you're comparing Freo's depth to WC'S which as a WC poster I presume you are Freo have good depth to the 28/9 player
WC's doesnt go past 14/15
