Non Lions Discussion 2026

[Eyn Styn]

Freo are falling apart.

Me thinks if you play R0 and are fixtured to play a club playing their first game of the season you have an advantage, no?

 

[martinson]

I've only watched the last quarter .

Freo look clueless going forward.

 

[M Malice]

LOL! Dockers, I knew it.

 

[Nathan Barley]

 

[Elixuh]

lol Freo ffs

 

[010203]

Geelong really did stand up and fight after quarter time. Just the 48 points post quarter time from Freo.

 

[PattyKwasagun]

All the hype of Freo making a big jump this year is misguided I think. The way they have played this last quarter tactically has been awful. Bombing it long from kickouts to outnumbered contests over and over again.

 

[HereIGoAgain]

Is it a leadership problem with Freo? I'm out on their coach but that list is close to primed. Jackson through middle should be real point of difference and Serong gets huge wraps but they seem to be lacking something, or someone, to drag them to win these big games.

 

[martinson]

Inexplicably poor game wise and skill wise in that last quarter.

I suppose it's only the first game.

Longmuir's out if they don't contend this year

 

[Tom14]

Snoremuir finding a lame excuse after giving up a 6 goal lead.

 

[briztoon]

We started this tactic from the first quarter.

 

[Tom14]

Incredibly disingenous stat peddling this. Good teams (especially Vic teams playing at home after being away in Round 0) tend to win.

 

[Section 5]

I hope the push to cancel the northers states opening round succeeds

It was always a marketing exercise anyhow, nothing to do with growing the game in the northern states.

The academies are helping to grow the game talent wise in the northern states, but the AFL seem to want to stifle that.

Watching this one closely

has Port playing a similar style to what he had North Adelaide playing when they won the SANFL; they were a breath of fresh air.

 

[M Malice]

3 blockbuster games for us the watch this afternoon.

 

[Elixuh]

Norf are back baby

 

[Elixuh]

All the hype of Freo making a big jump this year is misguided I think. The way they have played this last quarter tactically has been awful. Bombing it long from kickouts to outnumbered contests over and over again.

They have a list capable of 3-8. They shouldn’t be worse than 8.

Yes they have gaps. But their coach, Snoremuir is no good.

 

[Elixuh]

Pendles vision is 1 week based on what we copped. But they won’t do it with the games record etc.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Clarko the mad genius lowering expectations to less than 0 in the preseason and lulling Port into a false sense of security

is a bloody good player, would be even better in a good side, I wonder if we ever seriously enquired about him when we were scouting around and ended up with The OA.

 

[irel]

Funny how quickly things change, suddenly I’m riding the Melbourne bandwagon. Go Dees.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Are we deathriding any teams this year?
