I can't approve of this punch up.Better?
And that has been something we've struggled to do consistently. Let's hope that changes. This win might give them some belief back.just a matter of setting things up so we can put this sort of effort in every week.
Definitely think he will be one who's a case of 'you don't know what you've got until its gone'.Langdon was his usual excellent self.
If he goes it will be a massive loss.
Carter is showing signs. A harder version of Duffield.
Brayshaw is worth every bit a 1st round pick. Cerra will be good we just need to see him move out of deep back.
Who would think losing Lobb, Wilson and Ryan could lead to this?
Because:
- Hughes at 91% DE, has responded from being dropped and stamped his claim back again.
- Switowski laying 9 Tackles and putting the heat on up front.
- 2 goals and an important goal assist from Crowden which turned the tide before half time.
- 29 incredible pressure acts from Darcy.
It's easy to look at the big moments and fail to notice the lesser things which add up to something significant.
Man, I’ve been an emotional cripple my whole life but this just about brought a tear to my eye...I salute you!The last two weeks have been beyond perception with the WA media, the late 90s was pre-population and mining boom so the Drum era never received the same heights as what Lyon and the club have gone through recently.
I'd liken it to paranoid schizophrenia with a side dose of tinnitus, the voices shouting from every corner bounce between the walls and send Shockwaves between both ear drums. Newspapers, radio, social media, hack journalists, Eagles friends, Freo family members, you can't escape it.
Winning against this tide was sheer incredulity.
Does it mean massive changes are no longer needed? No way. Assistant coaches, medical staff and other deadwood need to be cut away wholesale at the end of the year.
There's still massive problems with this list skill wise, injury wise and off field problems.
We are still a long shot from finals this year and who knows what fans and the club will endure throughout 2020.
But tonight is special because we know this team still means something to the players, the journey of success is still so integral. Certainly, we may lose a few this year or next year that we'd prefer to keep. But tonight they played with the passion and energy of people who deeply respect their coach, their fans and more importantly each other and themselves.
Many of the older players are completely gassed, Mundy only got 8 touches but his 2 cameo goals were pure clutch. And Crowden and Carter were completely out of their depth and didn't take their foot off the pedal. Brayshaw and Cerra have been baptized by fire the last 2 years and running on less than fumes, but they've willed their teenage bodies to enter beast mode in a Man's game. Brayshaw who had his jaw shattered in a million pieces and was stuttering around like a ghost in the beginning of the year has overcome his deepest fears and thrown all of himself into each and every play he falls into.
It's worth getting a little teary over, because the club isn't going to sink into the dribbling basket case so many of us have resigned it to just yet, even though thousands have almost collectively willed it.
Just for tonight, you remember why it's too hard to bury this club once and for all.
