Game Day Elimination Final Freo v Dogs at Optus

[noise36]

Do they know its an elimination final?

 

[believe_it]

The comparison between our effort and the cats pies game

 

[FreoRicci]

So Fremantle isn’t it.

JL has completely failed the assignment this week.

They are all deers in headlights.

Don’t bother targeting individual players

 

[King Tenz]

Didn't come ready to play.

The Dogs and the Umps did.

 

[Demons09]

Bont and Smith doing what they want the midfield is the problem.

 

[wakojako]

No midfield pressure and small forwards are non existent.
Amiss was a mistake.

Bs, our midfield is getting spanked and we haven't been getting forward entries

 

[Freomaniac]

Lobbs kick late in that 1st quarter summed up the game.

Dogs have been clean with the ball and quick with it too. Freo have not.

It's sad, the other 3 games have been solid and close games.

We are unlucky that we are gonna get belted in our final. To make it worse, it's gonna be in front of 55,000 dockers fans.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

We can still win it from here but we need to switch on immediately

 

[stormee]

Geez we’re lucky we didn’t make the four because we we’re being embarrassed by a team that arguably shouldn’t have made the finals. What a joke.

 

[King Huskii]

No midfield pressure and small forwards are non existent.
Amiss was a mistake.

No he wasn't. He's had three perfect leads. Darcy stuffed up one kick into the forward 50 to him. He had two great leads by himself but they kicked to a crowded goal square instead.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Oh well, it was a fun year. Had some good wins: Melbourne, Brisbane and Geelong away were great.

Still a long way to go with the list build.

Clearly need a forward line - probably not helped by Lobb leaving - really need our first-rounder to be a forward. I'd probably pull out of the Jackson trade, that would be a trade you'd make if you were a top 4 side, and we need the pick/s.

And, need to start developing Erasmes and Johnson to give the midfield some depth.

Overall, made a step in the right direction.

Thanks Freo for a good 2022.

Good post until that last sentence. This is the problem of being humiliated in finals: It has the effect of invalidating the year

 

[noise36]

I can’t even identity what’s going wrong which is never a good sign as it suggests everything. Fundamentally I feel it’s composure. Aish needs to tag bont asap

In the first quarter when it was still a contest we turned it over constantly then missed every shot on goals.

Our pressure is pathetic they have heaps of time and space while we are constantly being overwhelmed.

 

[theGav56]

Kicking 1 point from 4 set shots inside the 50 isn't on the coach

Of course it isn't on the coach. He has got them settled and perfectly focused right.

 

[Dockeroo]

This is the kind of thing that can set a young side back years.
It’s hideous.
Lobb and Walters couldn’t even kick a ****ing behind never mind a goal from several early set shots.
Mentally weak as ****

 

[largebus]

We started like we did against GWS yet again. Hard to see us coming back.

 

[Lach72]

No midfield pressure and small forwards are non existent.
Amiss was a mistake.

You watched that and thought Jye is a problem?
heck me

 

[London skunk]

It’s a *in joke

Only throw was against us, so dockery

 

[LongBombFromOutside50]

We can still win it from here but we need to switch on immediately

I like your optimism but I just don't see how

 

[Randomizor]

You are the worst kind of Freo supporter

Because I want us to win? Lol

theres going to be a lot of neck scratching in the post match presser thats for sure

 

[apuchar]

Our softness has come home to roost.

 

[Wilksyy]

They don’t even have Libba in the contest. Farking get in there mids

 

[Boppo]

Kicking 1 point from 4 set shots inside the 50 isn't on the coach

It’s not the goal kicking..we’re running at half the pace of the opposition. They have feee men everywhere.

 

[Dockeroo]

Of course it isn't on the coach. He has got them settled and perfectly focused right.

Senior players couldn’t even kick a behind from about 4 gettable set shots.
No excuses to miss those
