Autopsy "What Do We Say To The God of Death?" - Freo Keep Season Alive Against Gc

[largebus]

What happened to Switta?

Calf they said on ABC. Unrelated to last week's injury

 

[Joao]

**** you JL. I had my mind made up. Y'all comments in the game day thread made it sound like a 2022 game.

I might get a chance to watch it later.

 

[s_wd6]

Serong is just insane.

Also Brodie should never be dropped again.

 

[royale with cheese]

His voice will be worn out by the end of the season the amount of directing he does in there.

He’s on track for 50 goals at his current rate. And set up about half the others tonight. He has a brilliant footy mind, just a joy to watch.

 

[Wabjub]

The brodie critics can eat dirt. Gave our mids space to dominate.

 

[Freofalcon]

Meh.

Would have been smashed by a decent side.

 

[Footskill]

Okay I get it now. Brodie only plays well when he is the only bull. Didn't play well with Fyfe or JoM. Wants to feed the cucks. Lol

 

[royale with cheese]

The brodie critics can eat dirt. Gave our mids space to dominate.

he played like he wanted to make a statement, both for us and Gold Coast

 

[Grape Bear]

My buddy!

 

[noise36]

To all the sooks that switched off at half time - go support the toast you weak campaigners!

I said I was, then didnt do I count?

 

[Dirty_banchez]

What an exciting game. Just a great watch.

 

[Righteo]

Serong is just insane.

Also Brodie should never be dropped again.

I think we can put the Serong vs Rowell debate to bed now.

Caleb shits on him from a great height. Right now he's easily our best player.

 

[Bastyy]

Serong will have earnt brownlow votes in most games so far no?

 

[gaskin]

Amiss oozes class. In 5 years time he is going to arguably be the best KPF in the comp or at least in the top 5. He just needs to start kicking through the ball more from distance. That drop punt from the boundary was a thing of beauty.

Johnno and Sturt have to stay in now. Both just add class that is missing. Some of our best passages of play went through Sturt's hands. Get the ball into their hands more.

Jackson is continuing to build and getting better each game. It is great seeing him start to hold his marks but what makes it better is when he finishes off his good work.

Wagner had a better 2nd half. His first half was not good but he didn't put a foot wrong in the 2nd. I do think he copped a bit more criticism than was warranted, though. He isn't a big guy and in a couple of contests was just out muscled. He needed a chop out from the backline that never came.

Sonny. Superb. I wrote him off last season but he has had a great start to the season (last week aside).

The backline continue to be shit but we also saw how much more effective they are when they get help up the ground.

I have no idea why we went with Switta if he was under any kind of injury cloud. Brodie should have played from the start and showed when he came on why he should be in ahead of JOM. I was supportive of trading for him but he has been terrible. Brodie is the better player.

Skills. Skills. Skills. Again our skills killed us. The fact that most of Adelaide's score last week came from turnover and same again tonight shows just how bad we are. I'd also be interested to see that stat from the first 3 games too. I have a feeling it will be the same thing. A serious emphasis needs to be put on skill work moving forward and drafting players that are clean.

That 2nd half showed me I was right. It was a skill issue more than a game plan issue. It was obvious over the first 4 games we were trying to move the ball quicker but our skills continually let us down. The 2nd half showed what we can do when we are clean. I do still think we are very easy to coach against and if GC didn't run out of legs they probably still win.

The Brownlow votes are going to be interesting. Does Serong get the 3 or does Lukoscious? I still think Luko was probably BOG but Serong was immense and probably gets 3 because we won.

His odds are shortening

 

[armpit]

Rejoice for the now. We're in the 8.

 

[SHill Shall]

It’s somewhat concerning that Brodie was dropped a game ago and yet tonight he proved how much superior he is to JOM. What is JLo actually seeing?

JOM has almost done nothing noteworthy as an inside mid all season.

Good that we’ve not seen the best of Will Brodie

Meh.

Would have been smashed by a decent side.

Plenty of time in the season for that.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Caleb Serong, Michael Walters and Sean Darcy take a bow.

Those three flat out refused to lose

 

[royale with cheese]

Results aside I think at the start of the season we’d be pretty stoked at Amiss and Jackson placing highly in our goal kickers.

 

[SHill Shall]

Rejoice for the now. We're in the 8.

And with a better % than second placed Carlton!

 

[FreoGirl]

I'm glad I changed into my new purple jumper at three quarter time - you can all thank me

 

[Tonga Bob]

Snuffaluphagus Tonga Bob Van_Dyke ******* ban me for life, I couldn't give a s*t, as long as you neck this *********

Solid melt.

Calling for my death for calling you a sook. Strong snowflake vibes with this one.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

As silly as this is going to sound, the fight and guts in the second half almost matters as much as the result.

Brodie has the fire in the belly now, Serong immense, Jackson stringing good games together, Jye shall be our new god.

We're not without our issues, but that's the sort of effort we've been screaming out for over the past month.
