Jesus what a rough way to travel

Isn't Buddy like 110kg?

I watched his highlights from his last games. He is very much a deep quarterback type. He likes to control the game from there similar to a sweeper. He is not a big runner nor tackler, nor closer checker, playing more of a bruise free game. He has a good shimmy and his ball usage is thoughtful and elite. This thoughtfulness also means he is slow to get the ball out of defense. The antidote, forward pressure and quality zoning. Given the swans have been good at that it should be possible to nullify his influence. If he starts to get on top, either a Hayward or Wicks should hold him pretty easily.Give Wicks or Hayward the job of messing with his mojo
Big call there.That's probably because Logue is a better 1v1 defender than Ryan.
Big call there.
Different styles, yes - but saying Logue (a fringe selection) is better one-on-one that Ryan (an All-Australian defender) is a bold statement.
Regardless, Cox is now Freo's number 1 key defender (even Fyfe has declared it to be the case) & if Cox goes to McL .... its a big compliment to McL.
I’ve peaked already on return then
Had a bit of a drift through the Collingwood autopsy thread and the Freo pre-game thread. Both sets of fans have little knowledge of, or give credit to, opposition (in this case our) players.
Pies fans bemoan Pendles poor efficiency but seemed not to notice the blanket job that Hewett did. They didn't notice that Rampe was pulled off de Goey after QT and credited him with DGs poor game thereafter.
Really blasted Grundy for being done over by a journeyman without realising how well Hickey has been playing.
Had no idea that Horse had changed things up quite significantly.
Had some pretty harsh things to say about Buckley too.
Very interesting reading.
Freo fans seem pretty dispirited. Much more than we were at this time last year. Not offering much credit around their players.
Made me feel pretty good about our forum which seems better at analysis and generally (if not totally) more positive and constructive.
11 lines too, what would bedford say!
We really do.Did the same reading as you. The Pies stuff was almost self harming. Personally I thought Grundy was a significant contributor but the Hick just shaded him in a great battle. Their Board just bagged him remorselessly.
The Freo Board, if anything, is worse. It is consumed by debates by Ins and Outs without consideration of who they are playing. I think we do better.
Convince me we can win!
No actually. Strange question.
This new King poster shows a lot of promise. Could be a valuable contributor to the board for years to come. Early days though.

Something grumpy and whingy I presume ?
Well don't leave us in suspense.This is very weird, I had a dream last night that I missed the game and was checking the score, and both teams kicked 17 goals.
You were checking on his wellbeing?? Technique could definitely use some work.You just seem generally negative and miserable so I thought someone should check on your wellbeing.

How many behinds did each side kick?
If the swans can get through the year with relatively few injuries, we can make a tilt at the finals. Melbourne is running hot because they have f all injuries. Everyone is say that they have an amazing system etc etc but rip Salem and Oliver out of that side and it will start losing games (plural). Port were great until Butters & Co got hurt. The only side that I think bats deep enough to keep winning despite injuries is the dogs. Premiership faves in my eyes.All is good..
I don't let footy make me miserable but I can see how a few posts on here can come across that way. I just question certain decisions now a little more than I used to on here. Something I used to be criticised for for many years as I was yoo positive. You know that DA. You've been around long enough to remember me being "over positive" looking through "rose coloured glasses".
Easy to bat deep when you have 21 on the field at all times & a special dispensation to throw the ball.If the swans can get through the year with relatively few injuries, we can make a tilt at the finals.

Get back to full fitness Swannies and stay there!
Never a truer word spoken. I watched the highlights of the dogs from last weekend and almost every goal starts with a throw from libberEasy to bat deep when you have 21 on the field at all times & a special dispensation to throw the ball.
Freo vs Sydney is at least interesting in that both clubs traditionally get reamed by the umps.
