wait til we lose 2 more before rolling the dice.

While it's not mathematically gone, given our draw for the rest of the season, we will struggle to win two more games for the season and that is a scary, but realistic thought.

IMO we really should just give the youngsters a run i.e. Foster, Duffield, Ibbotson, Collard, Warnock, and a good three-four weeks for each player.

And as far as making finals is concerned we went through a similar route in playing youth in 2005 when it appeared all lost and we managed to crawl our way back into finals contention come round 20, (even though we turned to water when the finals spot was uyp for the taking).
 
I agree - gilmore has an amazing jump, and he seems to get his hands on the ball enough. keep him in, and allow his confidence to grow

Was at that game - awful (and that was just the fans from the other team);)
 
We're still a chance to make the four. If we keep going the way we have lately then we will finish in the bottom four.

gilmore did ok in the ruck today..... better than sandi that's for sure

Dead right.
Good thing the match committee doesnt read bigFooty.

CC-OUT

Give Harvey coaching duties till rest of year then weigh up options.

But seriously how **** does james walker get a game in front of duffield,duffs far better and walkers soft as butter
 
Where there any standouts? (I hate that we wouldn't be having this discussion if Thornton had kicked straight - or Taz for that matter, or Pav, or Black...)
 
We are in the bottom 4.

I know Ive been hard on Macca lately but god was he woeful again today.

agreed Kenny. What was he thinking when he attempted that 'tackle' on Archer in the goalsquare? There was no way he could make contact without giving away a kick. It's these kind of stupid mistakes by senior players that have killed us this year.

I think you are being kind when you say just THIS year. Its a sad inditement on the Fremantle Football Club that he was our captain and is a 200 game player for us. He tries hard, but as with that tackle that gave archer a shot directly in front, he stuffs up at crucial times. Would he have lasted at say somewhere like Essendon for 200+ games? Now way! I can't believe how shocked he looked when he had pushed Archer in the back and then had his forearm across his head and the umpire blew the whistle for the free kick!!! But that sort of sums him up IMO. Tries hard, but can't go to the next level. Why the f*ck there are Freo supporters who love this guy I will never know. HE is average at best. His disposal sucks, and always has. Gets lots of tackles but when you are consistently second to the ball that is all you can do. I could go on, but...

PLEASE SHAUN, RETIRE, FFS!!!
 
He's been a great servant. It is probably time for him to go.

His free kick was telling, but not anywhere near as much as during the last minute where we

1. Failed to man up on the kick in. Crucial error there. Basic footy stuff.
2. Dodd appealed to the umpire rather than moving the ball on quickly. Then to follow it up with a sideways kick. Oh my god, it was like a knife in the guts.

Macca's mistake was a mistake. The two I've listed were complete lack of team oriented thinking, and almost made me cry.

It's not the first time though.

Go back to the Adelaide game and see who nearly cost us the game by giving a free kick in the dying minutes. Macca gives away more frees than anyone... fact. People bring up Solly for his discipline but Macca is far worse. Freo fans turn a blind eye to it though.

As i say every week, he is always 2nd to the ball and it is costing us. He tries hard but it is not enough. He has no strengths to his game.

Macca needs to go. If he is picked ahead of Foster next week, I will not be a happy camper.

Harsh, but accurate.
