Good he kicked four again but he was fed by the team.
He has a long way to go before being a consistent B grader
Yes, well I was introduced to AFL via Souths and Sydney in 70s, so there have never been days of forwards kicking 70-100 in a season!Love the spread
Still kind of miss the days of forwards kicking 70-100 a year mind you.
You missed the bigger story here!!Interesting to read the trackers sometimes, Taylor Adams ran 6 km more than any other player last night on the ground. Certainly working bloody hard
You missed the bigger story here!!
That’s a new AFL record according to the AFL app, and by a good margin.
Adams covered 20.6km during the game, the previous record held by Tom Scully in 2017 with 18.9km
He beat the record by 1.7km
That was ridiculous from the umpire. McInerney didn't go off his line and had only taken a few steps back when the umpire called play on.Absolutely loved the McInerney Clark stoush. Where McInerney gave away a free being aggressive, the. Clark gave the kick back and Justin sprinted away to set up Warner's goal. Was just an example of that aggressive arrogant refuse to be beaten in any moment attitude.
Sure he didn’t stick his GPS unit on Robbie Fox as he ran laps post-game?You missed the bigger story here!!

sorry lurking on the board. serong is at that lachie neale stage of his development. lachie broke the record for most disposals in a season whilst at freo at similar age. but sides didn't care. paid more attention to fyfe, mundy and steven hill.Just got home from the game.
I must admit, I saw it a bit different to most.
I didn’t see “manic Sydney pressure” as the press has reported. Instead, I saw a Freo side playing an aggressive running game that troubled us - but it did enable us to punish them on turnover.
And if it wasn’t for their wonky goal kicking, the score would have been very close at half time. It was not a dominant performance by Sydney.
Main positive for me - I’m now a JJ convert. He ran with Clarke, as well as spending some time on Young and O’Meara. And whoever he played on struggled.
The only question - can he offer more than a negating role? If he can - he’s going to be a real asset for plenty of years.
And Warner looked incredibly good when he played forward.
I found it curious that Sydney clearly saw Young and Clarke as the key men to contain - not Serong.
Overall, a solid win, but not a dominant win.
Based on his speed as well I think we have determined something has malfunctionedSure he didn’t stick his GPS unit on Robbie Fox as he ran laps post-game?

I know it’s the solemn sworn duty of Bigfooty to find a whipping boy, but I actually thought Francis has a fairly good game.
I somewhat disagree. I think a club champion who only lost their spot due to injury, and has proven his fitness and form at the lower level, absolutely deserves a chance to reclaim his spot. Not because it's "owed", because it's earned.Parker's been highly paid for years that helps with the loyalty .
No one is owed or deserves a spot .
Having said that yes he is a great of the club, so who are you cutting for him ?
Not one player he could replace deserves to lose their spot is the flip side of it .

I would suggest he come in for any of Fox, Wicks or Cunningham. I also think Roberts has tailed off and could do with a rest. Some of those aren't like for like, but we can reshuffle to accommodate.
Personally, I think you have a core of A-graders (Ryan, Young, Serong, Brayshaw, Clark), some good solid B graders (like Aish, Pearce, O’Meara, Switta), a few good young talents (Jackson, Amiss) - but then it falls away too sharply. The bottom 6-8 just aren’t good enough to allow Freo to be a genuine contender.i'm curious. what do you guys think of us? a board member said we have a bottom 6 forward line. but a top 4 defense and midfield.
but, might be a bit simplistic. have at it
Think it's a little more complex with Fremantle. Who is the genuine star that can lift the team on his own back and win it by himself. Fyfe is past it, Serong is an excellent player but his disposals lack hurt. Young has genuine speed and is a fantastic kick can go quiet. Walters has moments of brilliance but doesn't put it together for full games often enough.i'm curious. what do you guys think of us? a board member said we have a bottom 6 forward line. but a top 4 defense and midfield.

Not so sure that the A graders are genuinely that. Who can turn a match by themselves, even for ten minutes? Brayshaw at one time perhaps. Clark was too easily closed down. We didn't bother running with Serong despite his accumulation. O'Meara was once brilliant but now cooked.Personally, I think you have a core of A-graders (Ryan, Young, Serong, Brayshaw, Clark), some good solid B graders (like Aish, Pearce, O’Meara, Switta), a few good young talents (Jackson, Amiss) - but then it falls away too sharply.

I expect the old Hayward to reemerge in tight games towards the end of the season.Good he kicked four again but he was fed by the team.

We're resposible for 4 or 5 of those wins? We broke that streak when they had won something like 30 in a row, then we won 3 in a row again a few years later? Seem to have done ok there.Pretty sure I heard a statistic last night - of their last 136 home games, visiting teams have won 17. So it's almost as rare as an intelligent Crows fan, or a Collingwood fan with a full set of teeth .
