Review Win’s a win: Freo in a grind over the Crows

[s_wd6]

Generated 24 scoring shots.

Was actually reasonably pleased with the game style.

Execution was a little scratchy.

Sonny and Jye missed 6 or so between them they normally bury.

Thought we actually put in 4 quarters.

O’Brien is the big body type Luke struggles with, but would’ve liked him to be more active around the ground to compensate

Caleb looked very sore to me. 8 day break going to be very handy

Generated more than 24 shots. There was one point in the game where we had scored 1.5 from 12 shots outside 30m. Six failed to score despite being genuine attempts at goal. I think we make at least half of those shots any other game - Walters and Amiss especially.

I'm getting all the coping comments now..

"Umpires helped you immensely."
"Horrible game with horrible skills."
"Haven't beaten a team with a win yet."
"Still can't score."
"Ball movement was poor."

All of that and we just flogged the Crows...

Unfortunately the AFL really, really, REALLY want Carlton to win the flag so that’s extremely unlikely.

Yep
It’s pretty much a foregone conclusion this year
No way we stand a chance
We should get some finals experience then leave something in the tank for next year and let them have their fully assisted moment of glory

in saying that though there are all the other handout clubs they would have ahead of us so we need to wait in line
Carlton 2024
GWS 2025
GC 2026
Saints ( don’t reckon they are going anywhere TBH )
Maybe Freo 2027 ?


Sux to be us really
Tin foil hat well and truly secured

Yeah 15.9 and we'd almost have reached the ton. Just one of those nights in front of goal.

Lol when have Freo done anything the easy way. * em and win it now!

I don't want Ross back. I can't see why I'm not allowed to have a critical opinion. Be honest were you actually happy with the style of game yesterday? or any of the games so far. We're the 4th lowest I50 team and there's still 5 games left in the round.

I wouldn't say you articulate much of an opinion other than everything is s**t. I swear if we ever win a premiership you'd still find something to complain about.

It's pretty rare to see you say anything other than' I didn't like x and y'.

Yeah, it's an open forum and we can all comment, but it is a nicer place if people can offer more than using it as a way to offload their frustrations. I'm sure you have more to say that would be of interest to read if you put a bit of effort in. Clearly you're an avid fan, so what is it that you like about the club?

Easy to say but we are working against a corrupt cabal that’s up there with the Sinaloa Cartel

I like his attitude and high energy but I’m just pointing out that the coaches subbed him off, so obviously thought he was dispensable and if Simpson kicks a bag, Emmett is in danger but I’m tipping no changes next week especially playing in his home state he will play well

Ok champ, I apologise for free thought.

Footy Fix: Freo's skipper is BACK - and he's making the Dockers' defence great again

Alex Pearce won't get any Brownlow Medal votes for his performance on Friday night at Optus Stadium. If there was a medal to be…

www.theroar.com.au

According to this, Alex is making Freo defence great again but won't even get votes for Friday's game lol

Caleb looked very sore to me. 8 day break going to be very handy

My impression at the game, without having watched the replay, was that he spent a fair bit of time on the thin side wing after 1/4 time. (Whatever they did worked he had 24 touches after the first break to I think 4 before it)

The AFL trademarked Flagmantle. We are the chosen ones my friend.

Time to bring out the Troll hunting pigs?

Those pigs have more of a clue about footy than you if you think that level of crappy ball use won’t get feasted upon by the competent teams

This is a big reason to go after Rivers and Warner, so many good players of the same age can really drive a premiership tilt.
Same with 2021, Johnson, Amiss, McDonald

There is salary cap and we still need to resign Brayshaw.
We can’t have them all

Ok champ, I apologise for free thought.

Hope you have a good day mate.

Aren't you fun

Amiss is getting frustrated. His goal kicking is becoming him overthinking as he walking in last few weeks. Could’ve had 4.

Calling defender who held some of the best forwards scoreless irrelevant???

Did he though? How and when? He can have some credit for being part of the backline. Essentially he was down back a bit, but what of note exactly did he do?

 

[masai tu]

First Dolly the sheep
Now MJ
When do we roll out the Pav reincarnate?

Any Johnno father & sons in the pipeline ?.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Gee there's some tough markers here - expecting everyone to go at 100 per cent efficiency in what was a high-intensity game is a bit silly; they came for a scrap, we responded and the overall skill (or lack therof) probably reflected that.

• To add to the Moose superlatives; his vision and general game sense is at another level. Some of those 45 degree kicks where he spotted up Young or Brayshaw in the centre were pure footy pornography.
• I get Sharp now - the two way running and defensive efforts were phenomenal.
• It really cannot be stressed enough just how important Fyfe has been to this run of form - he's playing a distinctly off-broadway role but his work in the clinches is immense.
• Draper definitely belongs - lock him in for the next run of games.
• Would not have gone near saying this a month ago, but Banners is now a lock - doing everything required.

Priority now is just straightening up the execution up forward.

I know for a fact there is a secret lab under the old Fre Oval grandstand cloning Boys From Freo!

Gerard Neesham is the director and the head Doctor is Ken Withers.

Next cab off the rank is CLIVE! who is is now alive.

Kepler is proving difficult as his DNA is all over the place and proving difficult to extract.

Pav is after the Prince of Pockets and Kicketty!

Could they approach TI and put his DNA with Kicketty. The word untouchable would be appropriate.

Puerility doesn’t become you Bradesmaen .
