We've had 1 decent win this year against a Bulldogs without their best midfielders playing at their bogey ground. Relying on Serong/Brayshaw/Treacy to be BOG every week is not a sustainable strategy. As soon as they drop off lo and behold we're shit again.

Hard to find much to be happy about coming out of that game, Bolton was the only real positive to come from it.
 
Freddie is one way player, if he doesn't do more defensively he will hurt us bigtime.
I'd be dropping him

Well done campaigners

I’m going to give footy a miss for a month or so …. see what that feels like

If I don’t come back I hope you all get some joy from this useless operation some day

You all deserve it

I keep saying this but each week I.am in front of the telly watching.

At least I am not wasting money on memberships
 
Pearce and Serong should be copping a spray in front of the group. Hold your leaders accountable

Second time in 6 weeks Serong has been well beaten. Refuses to chase his opponent and gets away with it.
 
God we play so safe. Every mark we go back take our time and kick long, nobody runs past for the handball as they know it won’t be given. Horrid to watch.

1. Let's face it, we aren't sacking jlo even if we don't make finals.

2. Brayshaw, Serong, and young are not A graders.

Serong is A grade, Young too but coming back from injury.
Brayshaw is a B plus.
All 3 are good enough, the fourth mid? The rotations?
This has more to do with gameplan than just 3 players copping the blame.
A defensive mid, tagger or enforcer is sorely missing.
There is a reason why JOM gets good numbers, the opposition want him with ball
in hand.
 
Darcy was pathetic today. I think they had a week long holiday in Melbourne, the players looked lethargic with bare bones effort. JLO’s game plan still sucks and I’d sack the spud right now.
 
I hate the club. Every time I go to watch them they lose. 3 times last year Carlton, Port and Bombers.

Now Melbourne this year. My ratio is 10 plus losses for 1 win. Can't remember the last time we beat port or crows in Adelaide

My last win was gc in gather round.

Freddy, Switta, OMeara are all shit. 10 year rebuild and we still can't make the 8.

Trading away all those picks is still hurting
 
Freddy ran away from the ball today. Very disappointing. But the root issue is the game style of Mr Monotone.
 
This is a soulless group.
On paper they have all the tools. All Australians, media darlings, highly rated. Talent, as they say.
“Top 4 list” they keep telling us.

What makes a great team though? Other than talent?

Fight, fieriness, passion, going above and beyond for the team. Determination, ferocity in every single thing you do on that footy field. Consistency - not every week, that’s impossible - but say, 8 weeks out of ten. Not 4 weeks out of 10.

That’s the difference between the perennial contenders and the also rans.

When it comes to the crunch, we fail miserably in all these areas. These were all parts of constructing a competitive footy team that Ross Lyon from 2011-15 era excelled at. The ONLY period in our existence we have done that. He wasn’t perfect, but at least we were a force. People feared us.

I hate the excuses that are rolled out every week. One positive this week is that we brought in OMac and Aish so the usual suspects can’t pipe up with their nonsense about youngest side of the round.

We are a soft excuse based organisation. You cannot trust this club to win any game, no matter how one-sided it is on paper.

You cannot trust key players to kick clutch set shot goals when the big moments arrive. We have seen this for years now and it was sorely evident again today.

You guys living Perth don’t realise this but nobody take the FFC seriously. We are a curious oddity to most footy people outside WA, that pop up one or twice a season on the main radar on the AFL world.
Other fans don’t hate is either.
It’s even worse - they don’t care about us. We mean nothing and stand for nothing. A placeholder in the world of AFL footy.

To change this requires massive personalities and charismatic leaders. People who make noise, demand attention and back it up with their actions.
Apart from Pavlich, Lyon and Fyfe, we are basically a non entity in this regard since 1995.

Justin Longmuir is an unsuccessful, risk averse, introvert. Missionary and vanilla. Who on earth was dumb enough to think this man would lead a change in the culture of mediocrity that has plagued this club all its existence?

We will drift along, win maybe 10 or 12 games and he might get sacked/he might stay.
Overall nothing will change though long term until a ruthless overall of club culture is implemented.

Bowey got nearly 30 touches. Petty looked like a capable footballer. Chandler had an impact! Spargo almost went near a contest.it was right in front of me!!! What is happening

Thing is, we aren't a fast team, and we seemed to be coached not to take risks.

Generally it is a good squad, however, as it always the case with Freo, there is a lot of daylight between are best and our worst.

Bolton was meant to be the "final piece of the puzzle" when we traded for him at great cost. I think that trade will bite us on the arse, and we should have used those picks to add to our depth.

Inevitably we are going to miss the finals again, and trade away our picks, and it will be a few years before anyone realizes weren't in our window because we didn't rebuild with the right players.
