No Oppo Supporters The Melt Thread

[MrDanggazz]

Shows where we are as a club under Ross Lyon, I believe we are better then this but Ross Lyon gets outcoached week by week. Sick of getting my hopes up when its game day, I miss the days when watching us was exciting

Rightly or wrongly, I don't see them sacking him anytime in the next 14-15 months.

It's not even that we're losing. I'm sick of the game style. Sick of watching boring footy with a man behind the ball at all times. It's boring. Honestly I used to watch every Freo game but at the moment I'll take it or leave it. There's no growth or progress.

Probably not... but against a team we are supposedly on par with in a rebuild, we got out played due to the same old bomb ahead of the ball crap we serve up week after week.
We have talent on the list but we do not play to our strengths.
If we can’t see the the same shit year after year , we are in dreamland.

Totally agree. I think the players are sick of it too.

I can't remember lots of people

He went back to Peel and Ross gave him the rest of the season and Peel finals to develop his game to the standard needed to play AFL.

I'm stoked he worked hard and yes he's silenced his critics however I don't think lots of people were calling for him to be delisted.

That's just from the Taberner thread last year. Plenty more in the game day threads whenever he dropped a mark.

We have serious problems as a club..
This so called rebuild is not going to plan as far as I am concerned....it's taking us backward in my opinion
The Media does not seem to respect Fremantle for one reason or another and they always seem to love knocking us...
Something is gotta give and it has to happen soon..
I am on the brink of giving it all away.

Nail on head. We can’t win every game, everybody knows that. We can at least show some progress each game though and we simply aren’t. Starting to wonder if we’ll even win 8 games this year.

 

[MrDanggazz]

Fyfe would be questioning his choice to stay now (never was leaving though imo) we’ve showed no improvement on last year even though we picked up some talented players. I hope we don’t waste Fyfes career by not playing finals before he is done and dusted

That’s my biggest problem, there is no clear sign of progress or improvement.

 

[Cobbler]

Walter's pissed me off a few times today. When he led his opposition player to the ball and just went to ground a few times I lost a bit of respect.

I think more that it's low risk, low reward garbage. A team like the Lions are putting more on the line each week. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

With us and our 7 man backline it's more like a slow death

One of them at least he was clearly pushed in the back.

 

[Cobbler]

Yeah maybe, but he goes searching for it everytime. I hate that sort of 'play' and he rarely gets a free for it.

In the wet today it looked significantly worse because instead of at least halving the contest he just flopped and watch his opponent run away with the ball.

 

[raffrox]

Who gives a shit?

It's more that no one respects us.

No representative on the AFL committee looking at the future of the game, usually sent to the ass end of everywhere for fixtures even when we were a top 2 team and the umps clearly don't rate us.

We are basically treated like Tassie except we draw enough of a crowd to keep around.

This. Brisbane want to take them on, prepared to die by the sword. Their coach, Fagan even says we're in the entertainment business, so they want to play an exciting brand. Goddamn, that's exactly what we need. Sure they've won one game but could've won 3-4.
Our gameplan is trying to limit the damage before the game even starts. 5 up forward. What a joke. There's no incentive to actually take the game on. It's scaredy cat style

How did we get outcoached? Arent we simply not good enough and probably have close to the worst forward line in the league?

The game plan we have is just terrible, it in its self is a risk, and once it doesn’t work it’s as if we don’t have any back up plans

Game day is pure emotive

Checked the first link and not one poster had mentioned delisting him. Some posters have nentioned he's not play well enough at WAFL to get a game at AFL and that his opportunities are running out.

 

[Mudd]

Can this be the pseudo sack Lyon thread since all the other Lyon threads have been closed off?

 

[Caldera]

I can't even...

 

[Leslie_Chow]

We are without a doubt the worst team to watch in the competition. It was just mind boggling that we were 3 goals behind in the last quarter and all that we had forward was Cerra vs Tarrant and Ballantyne vs Thompson. That summed up who we are as a team and it won’t be changing for as long as Lyon is around.

 

[believe_it]

We are playing the same game plan for the last 6 years. Lyon is a one trick pony. The pony is lame.

 

[MrDanggazz]

Ross Lyons after game comments seem to be pathetic excuses or utter crap most of the time

La la land - population Ross Lyon.
