Autopsy R22 Freo Hoodoo Gurus, First Win v Port at AO

[FreoRicci]

Yes he was great. Better than Johnsons best game. No Cat 10s. Give him a better contract offer.

Both have such a high ceiling. Still lots more to come

 

[ilikepotatoes]

I'd love to see a side by side of Pearce's mark and that Longmuir mark.

Looked very similar flying in from the side.

As much as it’s great we can win these games, how on earth did we put ourselves in that situation?
8 goals conceded in the second quarter, we’re 4th, amazingly and it’s ****ing awesome, but it’s simply unsustainable to keep winning like this.

 

[DenieD]

Best teams are the ones who can still somehow win when everything goes against them.

Won 11 of our last 12. If we can get into the top 4 anything is possible.

 

[s_wd6]

Best I’ve seen Ras play. Thought he was one of our best. Hadn’t seen anything before today that showed he was a footballer, but he was really good today. Hope that becomes standard.

Nothing else to say. Take the 4 points and never talk about it again

 

[gaskin]

Port fans having the audacity to boo the umps off with a 28-12 free kick count and 50s for days is ridiculous. Someone from the club really needs to show some ****ing balls and call this shit out but as usual they won't because they are ****ing cowards. If this happened to Collingwood Eddie would be screaming bloody murder.

Almost lost this at selection. Wags, Walker, and Simpson all best 22 and fit yet playing at Peel when Banfield and NOD stink it up week after week and are given games.

The coach is a ****ing idiot. Butters killed us after QT and yet did nothing to stop him. The amount of times he just run through because he was matched up on Bolton or Dogga is inexcusable.

This game showed how badly we need Simpson and Walker in. Clark stifled and we had no run what-so-ever off halfback.

Play like that next week and Brisbane tonk us by 15 goals.

Got the points that’s all that matters. Nat was good when he came on. Alex got valuable minutes before the lions game.

You remember Collingwood 2022/23?

Feels like we are having one of those runs right now

 

[pK75]

**** me I hope they review that second qtr, absolutely unacceptable by every player out there

 

[2big2strom]

great first quarter
GOTY Murphy "Murphy Reid" Reid
no injuries
Fyfe coming on and making a big impact
Voss peak shithousery
Pearce, beautiful beautiful Pearce with a fantastic captains goal
there was a whole bunch of ugly footy in there but we are going to get more out of this game than obliterating other teams
outwork, outrun, outlast

 

[freo84]

Finally beat them at their homeground!

Was it pretty? No.

But 4 points is 4 points!

Watch the Murphy Reid goal replays and that's about it.

 

[pavstar]

Deadset Jailbreak that Bon Scott would be proud of…

 

[King Tenz]

Wags and Simpson in. Those two bums out.

Easiest selections of the year.

Let’s see if our coach can figure it out.

 

[mattis117]

Port thread is funny as. They get more than double the free kicks and still reckon they lost cause of the umpires. Football supporters ey

 

[gaskin]

Also, someone needs to tell Der-wayne he is supposed to be impartial. Calling Boak 'Boaky' every time he touched the ball was getting bloody annoying.

 

[2big2strom]

I forgot to mention Fyfe and Boaky swapping jumpers this is it folks, all or nothing

 

[Thistle]

Thought it was cool our coach let Butters run free after seeing Geelong tag him to ten disposals and smash Port

 

[Channels]

All Adelaide fans enjoyed this moment, thanks guys

As much as I liked it, I hope JL slaps him as says never do this again unless there are 4 seconds to go.

Maybe, but it just feels a bit ridiculous that we’re getting ourselves in this situation.
We were 4 goals up at quarter time then conceded 8, that has to be addressed.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Erasmus was awesome. Break out game for him. The unit looked confident.

And how about the boy from Wagga Voss? He was awesome in the last qtr. That was a fun game

 

[wakojako]

Fyfe being subbed on changed the momentum of the game. He has still got it. One last roll of the dice for the big fella.

 

[Freoforever86]

Hated every second of it after quarter time until Pearce goal.

Dunno if it was the short break and travel off a tough game and wet slog v Carlton, or if the boys were just off, but that was horrid.

After the 1st I was thinking ah final maybe we get a nice relaxing 40+ point win with never in doubt. Noooope.

Main positive for me was Raz. Thought he was great. 26 @84% is nice.
Fyfe good return & looked clean.
Voss good again.
Jacko not bad around the ground.
Serong battled

Not sure there’s much more.
Banfield can’t be in defense anymore.
Chappy cost us at least 4
Driz was real poor
JOM so slow
Bolton wasteful and selfish (tho I’m ok with some selfishness)

Simpson in for Duds.
Banfield fwd or sub

 

[swanny1234]

Yeah that was quite symbolic in many ways.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

This might sound weird but I’m really looking forward to watching the replay in the cold light of day.

I know we were bad at times but think we also got shafted with many Port goals from questionable frees.

Another brilliant win when all hope felt lost though. Pearce forward again at the death, this move works again. Wow.

I reckon wags is out only good matchup. Maybe Brayshaw.
