Review Round 23, 2025 - Fremantle vs. Brisbane Lions

[martinson]

I always hated the laughing emoji.

It's a bully retort.

No that I don't find a lot of things that are said laughable.

 

[martinson]

We should never have let him go.

100%

I'm sure Fages regrets it and will do all he can to bring him back to his spiritual home.

Sorry for my laughing emoji.

 

[martinson]

Sorry for my laughing emoji.

It's ok as a humour heads up acknowledgement.

So I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt DD.

 

[martinson]

The good thing about recent games is that Harris is right back into AA form.

His judgement and athleticism is exceptional when he plays that roaming interceptor role.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

Some more of my favorite low res moments.


The dedicated Dunkley moment







And probably not the best example,but Ashcroft really has clean hands under body contact and can continue the play well.

These are examples of champagne football.
Thanks for producing them.

Thought we got the rub of the green regarding umpiring except for Charlie C.Tackled around the ankles,holding thd ball ,tackled without the ball play on.He really must have run over an umpires dog at some stage.

The umps seem to have some sort of mindset that he stages.

But the one where he just got grabbed and dumped without the ball anywhere near was a mind numbing miss.

The legged one was a little conjectural but you hardly ever see those not paid.

 

[dlanod]

It was his left shoulder. Now I'm struggling to recall which shoulder he had all the reco's on. Which I thought was his left shoulder as well.

Fagan wouldn't lie, would he?

We're just lucky that Fagan was even aware that Berry has shoulders.

Ross Lyon probably would’ve talked about how bald he is if he was in Fagans shoes

 

[dlanod]

Did anyone see what happened to Morris to get that down field free that got a goal?

There was a crowd ohhh when it happened and not a lot of crowd objection to the free.

Morris was getting slamed the entire game. Good on him for continuing to present and not retaliate.

In the AFL write-up it references Cox (I think) throwing Morris to the ground. Probably pretty innocuous but also pretty undeniable.

They double teamed Morris in marking contests most of the game.

What was pleasing was that he worked his way through the extra attention he's now getting and made a strong contribution.

 

[morsie]

Brayshaw took his frustration out on Berry with an illegal push barely in play, certainly the ball was not within 5 m. Not sure what he would charged with on their magic tribunal matrix. Then a minute or so later, he is second in a tackle and drives Rayner backward landing on him, which was also potentially dangerous. He got HTB as well.

Bailey got a week for a bump with an accidental head class that didn't result in any injury LOL.

Rough conduct

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Well, this result spoilt my fantasy of winning the premiership from eighth position and breaking the last hoodoo.
This team is bonkers.

I would love this to happen with 4 Melbourne games

 

[Mr Ripper]

There used to be a thing called "unduly rough play" which would have potentially covered incidents such as Brayshaw on Bez.

 

[morsie]

I can't see the Dockers beating the Bulldogs at all next weekend either which will mean they finish 9th.

The narrative on their coach would then get interesting.

I know football is a game of two halvesbut the low number of wins by so many teams leading to situation where a team with 14 wins could miss out is just insane.

 

[martinson]

I can see that it's probably unduly rough play but if Bez wasn't injured no one would be talking about it.

Same principle as the head high tackles perhaps re suspension ??

 

[rye]

i was shocked fremantle has been around for 30 years and the gameday atmosphere they come up with is playing coldplay after goals and acdc at random times.

they could clearly see what we were doing and made zero effort to even try change their game to stop us.

what a miserable experience it must be to support them.

 

[Cockliff38]

Wish the club had commissioned Peter Blucher to write the match report last night

 

[beatnik]

Not sure been mentioned but i feel Brayshaw should be suspended for his actions on Berry.Not contesting the ball. Just because it was not head contact doesnt mean it should not be suspendable.

100% agree…it was a shirtfront from behind on a player in a vulnerable position…no eyes on the ball, not part of the contest, led to a serious injury…worth two weeks IMO

Bailey pushing Bradshaw in the side was paid as a push for some reason. Led directly to a goal to Jackson

This is my time to shine.

My theory is that one of the videos the umpires use for training on how to umpire fast paced smalls and holding etc features a number of Charlie Cameron clips which cause bias against Charlie.

I won’t stop until there is justice.

Like Nathan says: he’s good when he doesnt get the #1 forward.
