sharp needs to be dropped, absolute butcher meanwhile most teams have silky users on the wing. brilliant that he runs all day but he just turns it over at the most inopportune moments.

cox and ryan are living off past reputation. these guys used to dominate games with intercept marking, when was the last time theyve done that?
 
JL is a loser; he was whining about the start time of the game two days out.

Something about Auskickers and being in the changerooms at 8.30am. Harden up bitch.
Wager the time may have even been in response to Freo saying they want to be back in Perth by that same evening, there's pros and cons to both of course.

Sharp is a coward who won't kick and would rather handball it to a stationary teammate, considering he's built his entire brand as a winger such cowardice is inexcusable. Simultaneously doesn't win the hard ball or have the bravery to execute a kick.

seems 90% of our players are scared to kick the ball, and fair enough they ****ing butcher it enough, but it just leads to an extra handball and the inevitable turnover.

you watch teams like hawthorn or geelong or gws and they use the ball soo much better than us its baffling

Honestly they seem scared to do anything - consistently across the board the team has no flair whatsoever and hasn't for a while now.

Watch this space, Freo will ruin Shai Bolton.

It's because we prioritised effort/strength/running/tackling/marking ability over good kicks.

Look how much Reid and Young stand out at our club. Like the proverbial breasts on a bull. Its not brain surgery that in a sport that has 36 players on field, you need good to great kicks to penetrate zones and minimise turnovers.

Look how much Lachie Schultz struggles with disposal compared to his peers at Collingwood. He was about average to good in our side re: disposal.

It's a significant issue with our list, and only further heightened when our best kick Young is out injured.

Go through the list. There's really not many good kicks on it.
 
I think our senior players need to be put under the pump as much match committee and coaches. It’s not really the sh** players that shouldn’t be playing anyway that need to lift. We’ll probably drop Reidy and hopefully Worner and pick who we should’ve picked in the first place - we’ll also replace Banfield when injured players return. That won’t solve jack.

For a lot of the last quarter we had our first choice mids in there getting smashed. Time for those guys to take some responsibility and actually wrestle a game back when the going gets tough. It’s not that dissimilar to the last quarters last year - today it just happened to be the first and second quarters as well.

This board loves to pretend it’s the fault of the bottom six and blame them. It’s about time we start blaming our ‘match winners’ that aren’t making the impact on games their reputation and/or stats suggests they should be.
agreed to an extent, but your top players cant play A+ games every game, thats when you need your B graders to step up. obviously no one stood up this game.

agreed which makes it all the more confusing when we get absolutely destroyed and pushed aside at the contest
 
The problem with dropping Reidy for Voss is it means Treacy will need to chop out in the ruck. I think they might stick with Reidy simply for structural reasons

I also reckon they'll bring in an extra mid for one of the defenders, either Fyfe or Erasmus

Out: Switta, Banfield, Worner

In: Bolton, Walters, Fyfe

He won't be dropped, but he needs a slap down for his reckless shots from outside 50. I counted two that could have easily been passes to teammates.

No the whole point of bringing Voss in is so that he chops out in the ruck. He’

hes showed his inability to find and hit a target since hes been in the team and presumably has been told to fix it up for a while now. dont think hes got it in him to fix up at this point.

not sure who could take that wing spot though

This was during Ross Lyon time......These day We are more into Vanilla Mumbleberry slices and not reveiling Our highly secretive strategies to the oposition....They are so secretive that even our own players don't know what they are any more....

My main concern is Jordon tagging Serong, did a number on Neale on the weekend who was held to 10 touches.

Without Young we are already very thin. Hopefully Bolton is in, but not sure he’ll play a heap of midfield minutes. Maybe someone like JOM is deployed as a bigger body on Heeney type, or we bring in Erasmus for an extra in the middle.
 
I maybe the only person thinking this, but I don't think Fyfe will play this week against Sydney, the club said they are going to very cautious with how they inject him into the side and build his body up. furthermore, Fyfe didn't participate throughout the entire Peel match, I saw him doing running drills up and down the 50 at Half Time and he didn't participate in the match from that point on. I think the club is going to have him play a full match with Peel this week to get him match fit and then possibly return him for the Derby.

That's my take on the whole Fyfe situation

(this is definitely being stolen by that FB page we all hate)
