To lose by a free kick that wasn't a free kick after all the bullshit free kicks all game to secure a QLD derby final on the weekend theres no NRL. Absolute cinema.

Nevertheless we probably weren't beating Lions or Geelong eventually so at least the bandaid is ripped off.
NRL don't have a pre finals bye

Cox had the ball, has Brayshaw by himself in the corridor, but played it safe and went sideways, which was weak.

Then Ryan kicks it to the wrong position, should have been boundary side.

Voss then fails to bring it to ground

Freo then don't get numbers back and Mac Andrew gets an easy run and jump at it

Then Cox shits himself and gives away a free kick

We stuffed every single moment late.

You don't have to trade Cox, but that's twice in one season he shat the bed late and cost us. Amartey, now Swallow. It means he can't handle the moment and at his age and experience he never will. Absolutely should listen to trade offers, he's too weak in big moments
 
Think the free against cox was there. That kick down the line towards the end was the right choice, but not sure even with the players there we can't seem to get a mark..happens alot
The kick was the right choice. Someone had to compete for it. No one did.. at that stage of the game

Cox has been sensational all season. That’s not on him.
 
What I liked:

  • The many moments we didn't capitalise on
  • Fred
  • Not tagging Rowell or Anderson after Port showed the blueprint
  • NOD
  • Our most composed player is in his first year
  • Bolton's inability to stick a tackle
  • No Switta
  • HTB not applying for Rowell
  • Chipping the ball around after going ahead through attack
  • Not subbing Fyfe on until the last
 
I think GC were slightly better across the 4 quarters.

Leaving it late to run teams down in the last is going to catch up with you eventually.

We have been playing with fire for 3 months.

But going up by a goal late then bottling it stings.

Ill leave the umpire calls out of the excuses as we had too many passengers out there tonight for mine.

The Frederick horror show will take a long time to get over. And it will linger with him for the rest of his career.

Whenever questions are asked about his worthy place. This EF will long live in the memory of most Freo fans.

Have been really critical of cox at the start of the year but keep your chin up big guy. Fantastic back part of the year. That free kick is just one of those weird anomalies of our game like a guy slipping over banging into your knee and getting a free kick.

AP, Brayshaw, Serong, Voss massive.

Obv prefer to win but that's a good loss to have for the players and coaching staff to have. The kind where U push yourself all summer looking for that extra 1%
