Eh. I wouldnt go that far. The bloke took a mark and has stood around a lot. Dont need the fake props to the bloke. He should sub himself. Immediately.
I agree. Courageous getting a touch on 1 leg isn't enough to help your side win a prelim. A fit player offering run to try and open up the hawks would possibly be of greater help.
Admittedly I'm a bit of a campaigner and I don't mind what the opposition cop but I feel for Fyfe hobbling like that, knowing he'd want to do more. Like Judd 07. Could be doing greater damage to his leg.

I think hes a fantastic player.

But hes breaking down their team structure. Im watching him open up holes in his team defence everywhere because he cant get back.

He's far from the problem, it's all the other flogs who can't even kick that are letting them down. The guy had 11 touches and five clearances in that quarter.

Missed it
What was said?
Was it about Stengelin no longer being in our midfield?
Panel is discussing Fyfe, Ralph goes through some footage and a few instances of him being hobbled/great despite the injury. All good.

Then Ed, wrapping up the break: So John anything else to send us on our way?

Ralph: well guys, as with any final there's always going to be scrutiny on the umpiring. As we all know West Coast get an extraordinary amount of free kicks over here but so far no major advantage for Fremantle.
Ed: thanks John we'll be back after this.

Word for word*

*not actually word for word because he said 'West Coast get extraordinarily free kicks' so i turned it into readable English.

"we know west coast get an amazing amount of free kicks from the home town umpiring but freo just don't seem to be getting them"

Something along those lines basically. The umpiring has been very heavily in the hawks favour however. I really hope stevic isn't there next week if we make it. The guy is worth 2 goals a game to the hawks.

Well IMO, you need to understand football a little more if you think possession stats are all that matters.
