Autopsy Positives and Negatives vs Cockburn

[TY24]

+ JJ
+ Darling
+ Simmo with a coaching masterclass
+ Brander
+ Edwards had a few kicked on him but steadied in the second half, kid clearly has a future at the level
+ Kept the foot on the throat
+ Oscar the great swingman
+ Rotham is going to be a mainstay of this defence for a long time


- Got cut up through the middle a lot early
- My multi didn’t get up because Fremantle didn’t kick enough behinds, meaning Witherden didn’t get enough disposals. Spuds can’t even do that right.

+
Edwards.
JJ
Brander's second half.
Allen is simply a gun footballer wherever you play him, get him up here I wanna boof him.
Kept on pressing til the final siren.

-
Langdon. Terrific leg definition, offers nothing. Can't wait to get Ryan and Rioli back.

 

[arfadunger]

Back to over 100% Always appreciated JJ's pressure, never realised how quick he could be with ball in hand.

 

[kane249]

+Brander developing nicely now
+Simpson swapping Allen onto Taberner and Edwards on to Lobb at half time
+Kelly, Sheed, Gaff, Redden, Naitanui dominating one of the best contested midfields in the comp
+Young backline in general lead well by Shep

 

[HoneyBadger35]

11 straight why even show up anymore?

+ 42 for TK. 23 contested. Big lift, immense second half.

+ Freo hold opponents to the fewest clearances in footy, and we had 40-31.

+ Brander big. Rotham sharp as a tack. Edwards grew into the game after a tough early test.

+ Nic Nat/Sheed/Gaff/Redden dominating the third term.

+ JK/JD/JW/JJ all terrific.

+ Simmo with another lesson. Won every quarter, won all the big stats people like to throw in our face, won all the sexy stats that Simmo loves. Can’t argue with any of it.

+ Runs of four in a row, four in a row and eight in a row. Good momentum throughout.

- Let Freo kick more goals than points for the first time this season. Should have been a 2000 point win.

- Didn’t get a crowd in to cheer Dean Margetts back onto the field, our secret weapon who definitely influenced a single thing today.

Honestly just * off out of our state.

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

TK is going to get the accolades for his 2nd half but to my eye it was Redden who played the unheralded game in the 2nd half when the game was on the line. Probably his best effort since the 2018 finals series to my eye.

 

[kane249]

-Flat track bullies again at home. This counts for nought if we don't beat the Hawks next week

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Wow

So enjoyable to watch. So many positives. Too many to list.

Club should be applauded for sticking with Brander

 

[mad_eagle]

Oscar Allen moving on to Tabenar was the match winning move. Edwards fought the game out well when he moved over to Lobb

 

[BigManTyrone3942]

Tim Kelly:
- 42 Disposals (23 contested)
- 9 Tackles
- 14 Clearances
- 13 Score Involvements
- 600 metres gained
Absolutely huge today

 

[Spod]

Positives:
- Won all 4 quarters for once. Feels good.
- Massive effort from the mids to shred the very good Dockers midfield
- Incredible game from Jones
- Brander's second half was absolutely outstanding after a very quiet first
- Patchwork defence was very impressive. Edwards showed plenty.
- Allen...

Negatives:
- Couldn't watch it live.

 

[Magnum27]

Great win after last weeks dismal showing.

One huge positive for me was Brander, his marking effort was weak and rightly called by a lot of us. However rather than dropping his head, he stepped up and played a great 2nd half, kid has always had a lot of talent, and has taken his time, but he showed some real character today, so glad the club stuck with him when everyone else circled.

 

[squashface]

Jones early and Brander late were huge positives

 

[Happy Mastenator]

+ a win that puts us one win (and percentage) out of the top 4. With Hawks and Crows (in Perth) now in a great spot to remain in contention for a top 4 spot with players coming back. If we’d lost today would have felt a long way back

[Numero Uno]

smashed them in every facet

lucky for them they kicked straight and there was no crowd

 

[HoneyBadger35]

- Freo didn’t spend all game kicking to McGovern

+ Freo spent all game kicking to Rotham.

 

[ThePuma #9]

+ T. Kelly 42 possies and 23 contested.
+ Gaff, showed heaps of grunt and put head over the ball
+ Jones. Showed some of the polish and clean touch we hoped/thought he had.
+Darling. Some strong clunks today and caused the Freo defence headaches all day.
+ Brander. Hitting the scoreboard every week and showing us the kid has a bright future.
+ Allen. Went back today and didn’t lower his colours. Huge effort.
+ Witherden. Liking what he is producing so far. Absolute bargain. Thanks again Brissie.
+ Petch. Didn’t touch it much but still did some nice things.
+Rotham. Absolute gun.
+ Edwards. Looked outmanned early but kept fighting and showed some heart.
+ Tackling and hunting the ball.
+ FOUR QUARTER EFFORT.

- Cripps. I’m not one to bag him every week but his selfishness at times really pisses me off.
- Langdon. Just doesn’t look like more than a stop gap sadly.
- Sheed. Did some nice things but far too often he didn’t put the 1% in.

This next bit is for the Freo flogs that love to gloat every time we lose a game and come on here to troll.

Hey dickheads.....

No McGovern
No Hurn
No Barrass
No Yeo
No Shuey
No Flyin Ryan
No Rioli
No Crowds.

11 in a row.

Enjoy your meal tonight and all week at work munching on a huge back of dicks.

 

[CM9000]

What a fantastic victory. Missing both our KPDs, half our midfield, all our small forwards, our entire leadership group except 2 players, and they had their entire midfield choose from, and we still smashed them by 10 goals.

Such a great response after last week.

He needs to show this more consistently.

 

[ep2018]

Wow remember when Freo had some huge song and dance planned for the last derby in 2015 as they were supposed to level the ledger with us? LOL

 

[Truckosaurus]

No injuries out of it so far is a pretty big positive.
