Review Freo burn the dirty birds by 35 points in Derby LIX

[Randomizor]

1 more win to make finals? Or will we need 2?

 

[Randomizor]

This pleases me

Pos
Someone needs to GIF Serong spinning through traffic. Pornhub worthy material. Him and Brayshaw brought us back into the contest when we looked down and out.

I liked Frederick today after a poor couple of weeks, apart from kicking straight he presented a lot better.

Emmett had little of it but made the most of it. Did get a goal late from a flop that Walters would've been proud of.

Neg
Chapman shit his dacks and got tunnel vision when an Eagle came within 5 metres of him. Half a dozen hospital handpasses, often when there was a wide open handpass the other side of him. I still think he's better than Hughes though.

Jackson's ruck work was ordinary and he needs marking lessons from Treacy.

Young I thought had a pretty average game, although he was on Harley tagging duty for a bit of it.

Hopefully Johnson comes back next week and that's the last we see of Aish at centre bounce. He wasn't great either.

Aish came onto the field and chucked straight into the heat of a centre clearance. He then got pushed aside by Tim Kelly for an Eagles Goal. When Aish was moved outside to the Wing he looked good and collected 9 possessions in half a quarter. I thought he did well apart from first clearance where Kelly pushed him aside.

Chapman whilst average did quite well in the last quarter. He needs to simplify things more.

Next week could be an opportunity to manage Fyfe. Bring in Johnson. Perhaps a rotation on sub with Aish to play HBF or Wing.

I cringed at that "contest" with Kelly. Can't be giving up goals to **** like that. Should ease him in somewhere else, not the defensive side of a CB.

B) Our handballing at times is superb and extremely skillful - occasionally over do it, but getting better. Mark Stone referred to our ability to 'shape' the ball on his show this week (form squares/triangles to play out of defence/stoppage/pressure) - could really see what he meant tonight, especially in the third..

Sorry mate, who is Mark Stone?

 

[FreoGirl]

Yeah , nah
Try again

But he was the worst! lol

 

[Spirit Level]

Reid is a drongo flog, overpaid underachiever with unjustified arrogance onfield, and multiple off field issues, a bogan arrogant trash douche, still and always.

Grow up.

He showed respect after the game

Sorry mate, who is Mark Stone?

AFL assistant for ages. Does a weekly segment, worth a listen most weeks.

Stone Cold Stats Derby Prediction - Wide World of Sports 6PR

Mark Stone joined Skeet for his regular segment providing an in-depth look at our WA teams ahead of Derby 59.

Sorry mate, who is Mark Stone?

Does Stone Cold Stats on 6PR - former Senior assistant at Brisbane (2020-23). Before then was at Freo/Swans and West Coast. All at times when then were either winning it all or close to it. Great insight to the game, well worth a listen.

Sorry mate, who is Mark Stone?

Pretty sure he was an assistant coach at AFL clubs for 20+ years.

Was at Freo during the first part of the Lyon era.

 

[Ge3ks]

He might be a giant flog but many of the best are and he's going to hate playing in a team that sucks giant balls for half his career.

Not just GWS either. There are 16 other teams who will be offering West Coast their balls, too.

That was a bit of an error that JLo rectified

I know footy isn’t a beauty contest but by crikey some of those Weavils nobodies are pencilnecked fugdogs. Just odd looking blokes every where you look. Who is Jai Culley? Hough? That 28 with a mo? Maric? ****ing weirdos.

And Bailey Williams dropping a forearm on Trace’s neck is the closest he’s ever going to get to good.

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

Grow up.

He showed respect after the game

Absolute garbage sorry, he did a few media focused little snaps, none of it was genuine and the bloke is a total shitbag.
Reid is scum, never shows any true respect to anyone, legitamtely reckons he has already won a Brownlow, and has multiple off field issues already as not even a 24 year old.

Reid lives for himself, always has and shows nothing but derision and deliberate soft off the ball hits and whinges when he doesn't get his way. He's scum morally, could win 27 Brownlows and will still be the same morally repugnant scum he was at victorian school level.

 

[Freomaniac]

Prepare for incoming “congrats on winning your grand final” from salty Weagles fans

Well it showed their 11 game winning streak over us from 2915 until 2021 was a fluke.

I won't mind having a 10 to 12 game winning streak over them

From 2025 onwards.

I am just happy we won.

I expected a tough 1st half. I knew after half time, eagles were gonna struggle. He had a few passages of plays in which guys like Frederick and Tracy finished off with goals

Easily the funniest poster on here

 

[freo84]

Sounds like the flogs I had next to me.

Chirpy as all **** first half, crickets in the second.

I wore my freo jumper to the event and was met with Eagles stuff everywhere.

They were relentless and didn't stop. When We were on top I turned around and gave them the old Triple H
D generation X.

 

[pavstar]

If West Coast's future is as bleak as it looks, I can't see Harley sticking around for it. Not because he's desparate to get home or any of that (which might be true anyway), but because that dude is a winner. He might be a giant flog but many of the best are and he's going to hate playing in a team that sucks giant balls for half his career.

Spot on!

Reid’s hubris won’t see him hang about at West Coast.

I hope he goes to a Carlton on a 10 year mega deal, where CarLOLton pay him via nondescript brown paper bags, get caught and cop a harsh penalty which will relegate them back to the Carlton of the 00’s/10’s when they were bottom 8 dwelling flogs.

Flogs deserve each other.

You must have information that others aren't privy to?

That sounds very specific and very personal. Sauce?

He’s a kid mate

 

[Freomaniac]

Compare that against the first Derby and we've matured a sh*tload since then.

but

We need make that next step and play more consistently, 2 quarters isn't going to cut it in finals.

Solid point. We can't just do what we did in 2022. Don't get me wrong, as a docker fan since 2002, that 2022 season is one of the rare seasons I will fondly remember.

But in that 2022 season, how many times did we trail at half time and still won? A fair bit. A few games stood out that season.

Vs the saints at Docklands was one as we kicked 7 goals in the 3rd quarter.

Hawks and Brisbane we were down at halftime and won by 2 goals in Both of those games. And the Elim final vs the dogs....

Flogs deserve each other.

Please not Carton. They have enough of a leg up already.

 

[wakojako]

How good was Walker's game tonight? He was weaving through traffic, bursting from the contest and won his own ball. Finished with 19 disposals, 6 I50s and 400m gained.

 

[Freomaniac]

We’ll be fired up to play on the G before finals.

True...

We have Essendon at the MCG next. I don't think Freo has ever beaten Essendon at the MCG. We got close in the 1990s.

But yeah would be epic if we beat Essendon next week.
