pace

[heavho]

we have no pace the dogs had too much speed and essendon too much speed were is the pace we need going to come from ?

 

[sumavich]

We haven't had pace since Clive !!!

That's just bullshit. Pace isn't the problem, lack of skills, guts and determination is. If we kicked to position, held our marks and made our tackles stick then no-one would care about pace.

Commentators were only suggesting it because they needed reasons for the Essendon win other than 'Freo are just plain shit'.

No pace, No heart, No gameplan, No skills = No wins

Yep.
Can't mark, kick or tackle

A ball kicked moves faster than anyone can run, pace is handy but give me football skills first..

 

[Bradesmaen]

Pace isn't so much an issue, its more the way the backline move the ball. When we turned it over, Essendon moved the ball fast, we moved it slow.

its not bullshit its just the facts if we cant catch a player then we cant tackle but are skills have been weak in the first two rounds causing turnovers

We caught plenty of players, they just shook our tackles like they were brushing off a fly. Little fumbles in close, balls going between the legs, handballs in close missing the target, missed shots on goal, etc etc etc.

Pace aint the problem.

 

[longsuffreosupp]

Our pace is bad and our tackling is worse. Also the pace in the players thought process is pretty bad.

 

[Gaspode]

Many times we were first to the ball, but I think some of the oil that the players are rubbing on each other is killing their hand skills.

Broken tackles, dropped marks....

We look crap so often, and then all of a sudden we see what they are capable of. That's the frustrating thing.

The last Q fade has to be killed, regardless of whether we're leading or not.

But gee we're going to have to stem this flow..
