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

[Grape Bear]

Kingy still has us missing the 8

for the bulldogs even if we are two games ahead?

 

[poshman]

I was saying that at the time. Who cares if he's winded... not a good enough reason to stop the game ffs.

It was disgraceful. I am baffled by it. She made it all about herself and he got up took a few deep breaths and then, play on..

 

[poshman]

Be nice to not watch Butters run out of a centre clearance like a laxative through a colonoscopy patient. A few times I can deal with it. The whole of the second quarter was a bit much

This is one of the question marks on JL. Why isn't an adjustment made? Why was no one running with him or staying defensive side instead of hunting the ball? Shades of the Essendon game last year.

 

[DQ 4EVER]

Its funny you called this the Hoodoo Gurus as they're playing a show tonight in Tom Price. I can hear them from my backyard.

Free event that Rio put on.

Its was a sign we were always winning!

My son named his first dog, Hoodoo, after the band

 

[Minz]

Yeah...shit WIN!

Would be 100% happy with 5 more shit wins this season*



*as long as number 5 is the last weekend in September

 

[SPEEDWAGON]

kingy said loser of freo dogs misses the 8

But he also said we can finish top 4 and win it

I think we tried but we didnt have anyone quick enough. Butters is no mug and good players find a way.

So he hedged his bets either way. Classic Kingy.

 

[largebus]

Kingy still has us missing the 8

He tipped us to win the flag so if we do win he'll I say I told you so.

 

[pavstar]

Dermott was positively pleasant compared to ricciuito. **** that guy.

Derm has a man crush for Voss!

 

[StingBitten]

Take note commentators, that is how you commentate. The commentators tonight had the excitement of someone attending a funeral.

There's a lot wrong with footy right now, but umpiring and commentary take the cake for me.

I'd take Bruce, Cometti and McGuire any day over these absolute frauds they've got in the box these days.

Derm has a man crush for Voss!

Feels like all the commentators adore him

 

[Gekko71]

Was the same with the Collingwood game

If ……..we do somehow pull the Bradbury of all Bradburys out of our ass this year can I ask that someone clever like TheInjuryFactory does up a meme with Vossy standing on top of a pile of broken umpires to sum up our season

How fcukin salty would you have to be right now if you were the mug at Essendon that axed Vossy. It's right up there with passing over Pav or Tracy in their draft year.

 

[Taylor]

Butters is a really, really good footballer. He's like a burst sprinter who is part cat and I don't think anyone in the side would be able to keep goal side of him, especially with the chaos of a ruck duo that wasn’t dominant.

Would love him on our list. If he was a touch bigger he would be an impossible match up

He is solid.
Fyfe in the very first centre bounce of the last quarter. Checks Butters run, keeps Butters defensive side, actually wins the clearance himself. Thats literally all you need to do.
What you can’t do, is let their most dangerous players waltz goal side. He must have done that half a dozen times.

Fyfe was quite good in the last to be honest, the blocking and positioning was all there.

Yep.
He just gets completely burned on the spread.
Was very good in the last.

Unfortunately the shit commentary then exacerbates people's frustrations with umpiring.

 

[Gekko71]

Agreed. His center clearance work helped turn the tide.

Bugger me I'm gonna miss him when he retires.

Gawd, you would literally still be waking up sweating with nightmares if you’d passed over Pav at the draft

Treacy or Voss not quite the same

Apparently they're going to be in Onslow next week as well!

I am quite excited

Fyfe showing his worth, and nous.

What a typically Freo game. If Worner had kicked one of his gimmies, Shai had put 4 on the board instead of two, and whoever else missed ****ing sodas in the 1st, we'd have gone in 8 goals up, and their spirits would've been broken. The shit umpiring wouldn't have mattered. Instead, we leave the door ajar and they waltz right through.

Thought we'd spent our luck tickets when Rozee scored that last one. ****ing Freo.

Big props to Treacy. What a ****ing beast of a man. His play upfield was remarkable; strong, skillful, bullocking; he willed the result he wanted. Shoutout to Ras to, who did some nice things, but most importantly won hard ball, intercepted and pressured well.

The AFL desperately needs to look at the umpiring though; I've no idea what htb is, and the non-mark to Voss and 8m kick to Darcy were full amateur hour. As for the high fends and frees every time someone slipped or lowered their brow, it's ruining the game.

4 points, top 4. Massive game next week. Win (or draw?) and we're in. Brisbane are vulnerable on the rebound, but are quick enough to cause us major problems. ****ing Freo.

 

[Dockeroo]

Agreed. Eddie was a fantastic play by play caller and most of the current clowns wouldn’t hold a candle to him.

 

[Quay Club]

Should have put them away in the first if we kicked straight.

Shit the bed in the second and half of the third with too many turnovers and they punished us.

Fyfe coming on in the third gave us a bit more grunt in the middle and blocking where needed.

Say what you like about JL but we have learnt a lot this season when things are tight in the last qtrs.

The thump from Darcy to clear space to let Serong run onto it and Fyfe blocking for him was an obvious set play as was the Alex Pearce

mark and goal.

We now have this quality of never giving up and belief we can beat anyone this season.

We need to get another good ball user off half back in Simpson or Wagner into the team because when Clark is held we don't get the same drive.

It is a lot better winning ugly then losing, bank the four points and lift again against the Lions who will be desperate next week.

8m to Darcy my arse. Kicked from less than 5M inside the fifty, on an angle and went to Darcy about 30m out. Closer to 20m than 8 when you look at the replay.
