Review Purple Tiger Tamers - Freo beat Richmond by 54 points at the MCG

[BStaff17]

we will probably be dismissed again this week, by the sports media - Carlton will still be seen as flag favourites

We don't need it.

Every time this team gets talked up they crap themselves.

Fly under the radar and swoop in later in the year.

 

[BStaff17]

Richmond is in the worst place you want to be with your list, where your age and experience profile is cratering but you still have to churn through your experienced guys. They're about where we were 2017-18.

Ill take 3 premierships in 4 years to be in a rebuild.

sadly that seems to be very true.

But whilst we sitting in 6th on ladder. we not going to be rated as premiership contenders until we beat top 8 teams/./

I think our boys get a boost when they are acknowledged

Get around anchors!
Once the fwd line matures

 

[FreoRicci]

Yes until Amiss builds up the body size he needs protection.

To be honest, he’s the number 1 forward. He’s expected to have a bit more attention.

Thought Tabs took a lot of pressure from him. Since Tabs went out, Amiss has struggled a bit- the West Coast game he already had 2 v 1 early.
Tabs acted as the perfect decoy- had Weitering and Ratuoglea as direct opponents.

Just feel Treacy and Jackson don’t command a number 1 defender. Perhaps add Voss?

+'s
Umpires, we definitely got the rub of the green today.
Treacy,very much in form and working together with Amiss and Jackson to protect each other and provide space.
Young & Serong, I liked the idea of Young in the midfield but never thought he would be this successful.
Freddie and Clark, we look so much better when they break the lines

-'s
Small forwards, is that what we use the draft picks for?
JOM, still don't know what he brings to the team
Walters, barely reasonable against what should be cannon fodder

Is Freo targeting Liam Baker

to bring him next year?

 

[FreoGirl]

nice to see Bulldogs lose

 

[Lach72]

Second quarter was good too…

Amiss getting clobbered was a putrid miss by the umps

Jackson early on this season commanded a number 1. He hasn't been able to hold a mark since round 3.

 

[hoss]

Serong is an impressive speaker with the media. Speaks like a future captain.

that we often don't win lol

But we did.

Exactly.
Amiss does more damage with the marks/kicks he does.
Really have to push the case for Voss. Feels like he’s more threatening, makes defenders afraid/unsure- exactly like Treacy has been. Jackson doesn’t seem to be that dominant in the air.

Jackson just feels like he should be midfield, wing, roaming around in the Blicavs role

 

[Midnite65]

We'll be in such a strong position for the long term if we supplement this young core with three more first round pick talent, particularly more forward talent. Our history shows a huge trend for drafting success - and trading misses - so let's not try to defy history, use that great draft hand. Point is, don't throw it away on Logan McDonald and/or Baker (unless we can somehow get either by not parting with that hand)

We will only be drafting one in Rd 1,. the other two picks will be to bring in experience. We cant be a nursery every year.

Agree with your opinion, Serong is a very impressive speaker, no umms or arrs, just straight to the point and from the heart. Outstanding footballer too.

They are trying to figure out what to do with Jackson, he was a centre bounce mid today while Darcy was rucking, noticed it at least once, can’t remember if they repeated it.

 

[anchor man]

Can't kick from 40m anymore from your sample size of 1? He had a quiet game sure, but I wasn't expecting the knives to be out so fast.

They have been out since first game.

 

[Swan Districts Kid]

Just watched the 2nd half. What do we think about Maurice Rioli Jr? Had some nice touches. Potential Walters replacement?

We stay a nursery as long as experienced players who are best 22 keep leaving, replacing them with draftees.

If that can stop happening, the experience comes from within with a core that grows together, and having draftees lined up behind them is only a good thing.

That said, I’d be okay using one of the picks to bring in quality but would love to draft 2 first rounders at least.

 

[Lach72]

Johnson has been superb in this game…best game for the club

 

[Dockeroo]

I think our boys get a boost when they are acknowledged

This is not true. Everytime we are pumped up by the media we get soft and turn to s**t.
The more we are written off the better

 

[FreoRicci]

He’s not a pigeon hole player- can’t just play him as a ruck/forward. Just limiting his abilities.

I really hope some mids with speed and outside class, or small forwards are worthy of a first round by the end of the year.

At the moment, there is not too much.

I am still of the opinion we should keep 2 but our hands may be tired if the first round is just full of mids.

Draft Expert - Davo-27's 2024 Draft Thread

Davo do you watch much aps football to judge players on how they’re tracking for your draft projections? not much, i dont have infinite time and i focus on games that matter more during the season, the first month of the CTL season, the odd sanfl wafl u18s game, state trials, afl academy games...

www.bigfooty.com

Based on Davo's draft board, the top 3 forwards will go 10, 24 and 29 at the moment.

Johnson has been superb in this game…best game for the club

Seems to have become a bit of an escaped goat with some weirdly criticising him today. I thought it was a massive step up and encouragingly was because he got to play in his best role. Primed to take Fyfes spot when needed

David King "Carlton will be holding up the cup come September"

But then there is one thing we all know for certain ... if D.King is calling it, it won't happen.

He is the sped of footy analysts. Which puts him on world record pace.
