Midfield cost us the game

What the **** was going on with them today. Fremantle had free players everywhere especially on the wing towards the top of the screen.

I cant understand why they didnt man up, Misiti was clearly shown today how slow he is compared to todays midfielder with Headland running off him all day.

Jason Johnson has got to be the worst kick at the club and hes delivery to the forward was absolutely pathetic today, every kick was just sailing over the leading forwards head.

Peveril has played two shockers in a row and I dont think he even knows whether he's tagging or not at the moment.

Dean Solomon's performance today would have to be one he would be embarassed of on the wing, did he even get a touch?

Hird was ok in parts but nothing special and Rioli obviously did his hammy so he was pretty much ineffective.

And how did Walsh get a game ahead of Bannister or McGrath ahead of Harvey or even Richards?
On what form did the selection panel base these players on when there wasnt even a reserve game on last week.

I know this is only one game but our lack of speed showed against Brisbane and our lack of spirit showed against Carlton in which both a lack of speed and spirit were showed up today.

Very disapointing the most unaccountable football I have ever seen us play, Des Headland will be thanking our players for getting him back into form, interesting position he played I've heard of loose man in defense, but a loose half forward flank? he would have had 30 touches maybe 4-5 of them contested.

The midfield today were absolutely pathetic!!!!!!
And i also cannot understand how Walsh got a game ahead of Bannister. I have been impressed with bannister so far this year and they go and drop him for Walsh who really didn't look like he wanted to be there.

I really would have liked to see McVeigh given a crack in the middle. He did a good job i thought down back, but we missed him where it counted.
