You can pretty much skip the 1st qtr if you're short of time. Unless you want to see a Nick Haynes masterclass in how to turn up everywhere the opposition doesn't want you to be
 
Just watched the replay again and very impressed with our second half.

Haynes is rapidly becoming our MVP. Gee he and Cogs must be fighting out the Sheedy Medal.

Just a couple of guys who are a bit of a watch recently - Heater, Shiel, Kelly, Wilson.

Heater still doing a heap right and an absolute gun but some of his kicking in recent weeks has been very dusty...needs to tidy up before finals.

Shiel is electric when in open space but always looks like he's carrying a shoulder. Know he has that shoulder issue but he can be pushed off too easily and needs to be more diligent when defending. Can also rush kicks.

Kelly is silk but can go MIA frequently. Needs to work harder and use that extreme running power more like T Scully and L Whitfield do.

Wilson has lost some mojo for about a month. Did a couple of customary runs in the 2nd half but still not his early season All Australian type form. Can and must lift for us to be a threat.

There'll be a day when Kelly & Whitfield are both on song. There'll be a day when Cameron & Patton are both on song. If those two days are the same day, watch out!!

Ok seen the game.
1st off Way to go General!!

2nd. Thanks for doing what i asked and taking no prisoners.

Is it just me or do freo hope brisbane and the bombers get a couole of wins.

Anyone think that was the start of another coach killer to notch on our belts?

Knowing Freo, they'll hold onto the hope Lyon will turn things around. Call it escalating commitment to a failing cause...:rolleyes:

I'm not a fan of Ross Lyon but who Freo want is up to them I would have thought. I did think he showed class in his press conference yesterday when given a chance to complain about our list and whether Freo will chase Lobb.
Still angry at his claim we couldn't score goals last year when they won by three though.
 
So good to see Patton get a bag, I have been thinking this could happen since one of the early rounds and it shows how hard it is to come back from multiple injuries
Griffens best game for the Giants, showing what he is capable of and hope he keeps that form for the rest of the season. Only other player worth mentioning for a complete 4 quarter effort would be Haynes,

I'd add Zac Williams, I thought he was the cleanest player in a fumbly first half, and always made good decisions. And Cogs, despite being less prominent than in past weeks, was quality. FInally, thought Tommo also had a great game throughout.

Still quite a bit of work for LC to do to get the team playing consistently for 4 quarters.

This is my all time favourite stat.

Fremantle haven't improved the game since 1897!

They are that bad, they have taken us back 119 years.

What a bunch of flogs.
