Autopsy Bulldog's effort and Jamarra's brilliance too much for Freo - (102 - 73)

[Bald]

Clearly there was a directive to go to Jamarra more, and he did not let us down. I really do hope it allows Bevo to see this might be the way forward. I'm not necessarily advocating for Aaron Naughton

not to play in the forward line, but clearly he and Jamarra can't essentially play full forward at the same time.

 

[Foxman98]

Jamarra is an absolute freak of a footballer I simply can’t wait to watch him develop over the next decade,

Jimmy finally played a whole game in his proper position and amazingly he was very solid and no one is calling for his head

I’ve been a knocker of West but he has earned his spot for next week after a brilliant quarter there


McNeil probably the only other one potentially on the chopping block for next week but fantastic today that we weren’t too reliant on the usual few to win today

 

[adogsfan5]

How’d Naughton go?

 

[Struggle]

Thought Keath was very good today apart from a few bad kicks. Seemed to be able to bring everything to ground.

 

[Munnez]

To me it looked like our forward structure was much improved today, can hardly recall a time where they all flew against each other.

 

[TMoney22]

Lobb was aweful for 3/4s, but he turned the game in the last.

He's so dangerous around the 50 arc, easier to get possessions there too, we need to wake up to this and get the ball to him

He dominated their second ruck in the last too. And better yet Jackson did stuff all

 

[X_box_X]

Winning all four quarters was good... But it would have been nice to win by more than 29 pts.

 

[Astro_]

Thought the decision to close half of level 3 didn’t work. Felt squashed up there. Another 5 - 10 bays open would have been nice

 

[Chalky White]

What a ******* last quarter that was - Rhylee West had a crucial impact in the last - he has to be in the 22 from now on

Jamarra is a superstar, his development this season has been unreal to watch

16.6 is unusual sight for this team but * me it’s good to see

As much as I agree West was brilliant in the last quarter. I actually like him as a sub that comes in and impacts. I'm not sure he's got the engine for a whole game, or early when the speed is right on.
He was amazing in the clinches at the end being really fresh.

 

[X_box_X]

Jesus...

 

[Chalky White]

Lobb was aweful for 3/4s, but he turned the game in the last.

He's so dangerous around the 50 arc, easier to get possessions there too, we need to wake up to this and get the ball to him

I thought Lobb played okay. He dropped a couple of marks but he was bringing the ball to the ground, beautiful hand ball to Cody who blew a soda, rucked a bit and also kicked a bomb in the last.
Better option anyday than Schache

 

[TMoney22]

Shout out to Anthony Scott, put his body on the line a few times.

 

[Next Waiting]

Lobb is getting an unfair rap by many in my view.

His value was there to see in the last quarter. He is a viable second ruck and essentially dominated his opponent in that pivotal last quarter.

Contrary to what Garry Lyon was seeing, I'm pretty sure that the 3 on ballers to Lobb at CBs during that period were Libba, Bont and Macrae. That, in itself, is noteworthy (if true). That would be our slowest group of onballers, but also our best 3 operators and users in traffic. It would suggest that they were more confident of being able to win the ball and being able to attack rather than having to defend a spread. And so it proved.

Lobb's very competent cover for English should not be underestimated in a team context.

If you combine their last two weeks in the WAFL with last week in the AFL, they are 121 points for, 567 points against.

 

[Next Waiting]

We kicked 13.2 from set shots?! FMD, they should have a bye week after every game!

 

[doggy heaven]

Wouldn’t barely touching the ball technically count as spoiling?

I haven’t seen that paid at AFL level (I feel like they’ve tried to make that rule as simplistic as possible; don’t touch = unrealistic, touched = realistic) and I think they have a right to feel aggrieved by that decision.

When he and Mark Howard commentate it goes on to mute. Those guys give a panadol a headache. Lyon such a over rated smirky ********.My dislike for him will never diminish

Holy shite when was the last time we beat our expected score by20+?

 

[Bald]

Lobb is getting an unfair rap by many in my view.

His value was there to see in the last quarter. He is a viable second ruck and essentially dominated his opponent in that pivotal last quarter.

Contrary to what Garry Lyon was seeing, I'm pretty sure that the 3 on ballers to Lobb at CBs during that period were Libba, Bont and Macrae. That, in itself, is noteworthy (if true). That would be our slowest group of onballers, but also our best 3 operators and users in traffic. It would suggest that they were more confident of being able to win the ball and being able to attack rather than having to defend a spread. And so it proved.

Lobb's very competent cover for English should not be underestimated in a team context.

He's doing exactly what we need him to do. Kicking a goal a game and helping Tim become one of, if not the best ruck in the competition. He's a better all around player, in the second ruck role than Stefan Martin, Josh Bruce, Josh Schache, Lewis Young, Buku Khamis and who ever else we've tried as a second ruck, and when forward he allows Jamarra and Naughton to take advantage of the fact that a defender has to always be wary of Rory.

Can he do more? Sure, maybe he could, from memory he was Fremantles leading goal kicker last year, but that's not what we need him to do.

Lobb was very average for 2 and a half quarters but really showed something in the last part of the game.

 

[Libba39]

I was really impressed with O'Donnell this afternoon. Took a step in the right direction as a versatile 3rd back. Some good courage and athleticism.

 

[Bald]

He was never in a position to mark that ball.

I dont understand how barely touching the ball when it had gone past him made it a realistic attempt.

It doesn't.

The rule clearly states that a field umpire shall award a Free Kick in a Marking contest against a Player where the Player: (e) makes an unrealistic attempt to contest or spoil a Mark which interferes with an opposition Player.

There is zero reference to an attempt being realistic or unrealistic based on whether a player touches the ball. What constitutes a spoil or not is up for debate of course, but you only need to look at Ryan arguing that he simply touched the ball, not arguing that he spoiled the ball, when the free was given for you to know that in his head, Ryan felt that simply touching the ball was enough.

I was really impressed with O'Donnell this afternoon. Took a step in the right direction as a versatile 3rd back. Some good courage and athleticism.

Feel like he played as he does in the VFL in the same position. If he plays the way he did today, he shouldn't miss another game. Oozes a bit of class that I have never seen from many of our other options.

 

[The Inbetweener]

I was really impressed with O'Donnell this afternoon. Took a step in the right direction as a versatile 3rd back. Some good courage and athleticism.

Hopefully he ends up what many of us thought Young would become.

 

[Next Waiting]

Lobb was very average for 2 and a half quarters but really showed something in the last part of the game.

He did come good though. Maybe he had a post bye first half but shook off the cobwebs in the second.

His ruck stats are pretty good reading for the second stringer...

[Oliver G]

love the way Macrae has worked back into good form

It would be a while, this afternoon was our 11th most accurate game (70%) since they began to record all shots at goal in 2002 and our most accurate since R7 2015.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

We look like a completely different team when we have Richards and JJ down back. We have lost a lot of drive since they have gone down.

Glad Vandermeer has been stringing some games together now though, like what he could potentially become down back.
