Autopsy R16 Freo V Carlton: Classic Freo

[Yeti]

Fremantle go into the game with a guaranteed spot in the top 8 up for grabs. Carlton go in as a rabble under going a club wide review with coach on the chopping block.

The result?

FRE 8.16.64 vs CAR 12.8.80

Fremantle - 24 scoring shots Vs Carlton - 21 scoring shots.

How good is footy? Have at it.

 

[Ge3ks]

Home game disadvantage.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Two recurring themes of this season has been us kicking ourselves in the foot with s**t goal kicking and s**t starts to the game (especially away from home). One of these days I’d like to see us ******* address it, because it’s going to cost this group the chance to play finals this season.

 

[Outshined]

Not sure where the overconfidence prior to the game came from. This was sadly predictable.

Good fightback but it means nothing if you don't go on with it.

Definitely not a finals team.

 

[Danger Zone]

You were the better side tonight. If that is at Optus you win 99 times out of 100.

 

[Rob]

Scores level at 3/4 time, finals on the line.....

we kick 1 point in the last quarter. 1 solitary ******* point.

Mentally and physically weak.

 

[Square Peg]

I'm surprised anyone expected anything different
There's something amiss with Fyfe, that shoulder is obviously messing with his mind
Carlton are pus. I hate those entitled AFL pets

 

[Freeeoo]

Our chances ebb and flow with how well D. Mundy is playing.
Pretty sad when you think about it.

 

[Deanismyhero]

Last quarter , game on the line and we score 1 ducking point. * this team

 

[Wilksyy]

Good fight back from the boys. Need to kick straighter and we win. We were the better team.

Wish this board would stop getting so cocky talking finals all week like it’s a given. Terrible omen.

[believe_it]

I can't believe we didn't turn up in the first quarter again. I just can't believe it. It cost us the match and our season. Seriously have the coaching staff recognized it as a problem???

 

[_007_]

How utterly depressing.

 

[Ge3ks]

That late 4th quarter Sam Walsh goal hurt.

 

[Westerberg]

******* horrific, thought I couldn't possibly get any madder then during the Essendon game and the Port game but here we are

He puts on his body on the line and is like a bull at the gate. But by taking on the tacklers and he gets caught HTB too much 3 times in first half cost us dearly.

 

[mattis117]

Freo were clearly the better team. The boys nearly did it up against all odds. Chances were there, we didn't take them. Carlton can get ****ed, they are a terrible football team who are where they deserve to be, unfortunately so are we. Need to be more clinical, and need to fix these slow starts. Defence and midfield good, forward line still needs a lot of work.

 

[Purple Maverick]

I cancelled a fishing trip so I could watch this s**t FML

 

[Kram]

Really disappointing but some of the melting a tad OTT.

 

[Bastyy]

If Walters gets a game next week he is the definition of a coaches pet. I hate to go hard on players but when is the last time he's played a good game? It certainly hasn't been this year

 

[Ge3ks]

I cancelled a fishing trip so I could watch this sh*t FML

Could still turn out to be the better decision.

 

[Channels]

Weak.
As.
Piss.

and just when I thought my opinion of Acres changed, he turns it over kicking into the corridor.

walters looks unhappy.
Other clubs want Cerra, fine.

 

[Freoforever86]

Some serious brain fades by players costing huge.
Henry rushing and missing 2 ciders, then the free kick over turn
Brayshaw not going i50

then the whole team going away from lowering the eyes more in the 3rd back to bombing long just destroyed us.

We just flat can’t tackle

shultz and Colyer with 4 touches each just unsighted. Bewley nowhere near it, Walker and Tucker just can’t defend - walkers dash good, but need more than that.

acres a good 3rd but just brushed aside so easily when tackling

cerra Brayshaw Mundy good. Serong pretty good. Switta a good job on saad. Pearce and Logue pretty solid

Darcy got beaten when it mattered and is always too keen to kick when he has runners going past.

just not up to it when the pressures on

 

[Cameron_K]

The most frustrating part, even worse than the disgraceful goal kicking was they played the last 15 minutes like they were the ones up by 3-4 goals. There was no urgency at all, no attempt to take the game on. This team is soft as butter.

 

[Ausbenito]

Am at a new low some of the kicking and decision making at times the mind boggles how and why??
