Autopsy Fremantle 62, Geelong 73

[Cobbler]

THANK YOU

Luke Ryan can be an amazing player but when he comes out and just wants cheap touches he's horrible. Genuinely a joke that he takes every single kick-out just to get an extra stat, nobody can convince me he's the best option to be taking those.

The only time Ryan worked hard was to sprint 30m to space to receive the dinky kick. Then drive it long to the same contest where Geelong would have numbers at the fall of the ball.

We actually had guys open for the inboard kick often and just refused to take it on.

Thought Johnston's game was a positive to take out of today, we have to hold on to and develop him

It hurts losing a game narrowly. But it would hurt more if we don't make the 8

You reckon Captain Obvious. At least you won $4

his year has been poor at best

I mean what did you expect? Missed a chunk of pre season, tears two hamstring tendons and misses four months of footy, then comes back and has to be play our of position because Pearce gets injured straight away. Hasn't even been given a chance to get up to full fitness and strength in that hammy let alone his own form.

 

[Van_Dyke]

possibly the worst 36 touch game from Ryan, his last month has been concerning to say the least

 

[fnerd]

We’re not beating GWS or Port who will be playing for top four spots. We can’t handle the heat.

Yea we ain’t even making it from here.
The mental demons in this team /club were already huge without the real likelihood of missing altogether now hanging over their heads.

 

[MadMac]

Meh, I’m not even angry anymore, there’s a point you eventually get to where you just don’t care as much, like IP last year, just emotionally checked out. That game last week was probably a tipping point.

I’ve never been superstitious but I’m honestly starting to think that this club is cursed. Luck occasionally comes here but generally doesn’t stick around long enough.

At least under Ross he would be given the Dawson rule book

 

[fnerd]

Also how ironic is it that we’ll be playing port for a spot in the finals again?

Happened like twice before during Connollys era and both times we shat the bed.
We ll be doing exactly the same a cool 20years later!!
indeed things do come in 3s it seems

On the bright side we’ll have guaranteed ol Kenny makes it thru to 25’ at least !!!

This board: Why play Taberner? That's way too risky and left field.
Also this board: Freo should take some risks and be creative with selection. They're so boring.

Christ i feel bad for Serong after these last two weeks. He is the epitome of a heart and soul player and watching how crushed he is after these losses is ****ing demoralising. accruing losses like this has to have a deeply adverse psychological impact on him and the rest of the boys

Yeah different from all the happy clappy Jackson was with the Geelong players after the game.

You’ve got two weeks to get used to not playing finals. We’ve gone from top two contender to no finals in the space of six days

 

[Taylor]

So let’s drop Jackson then.
Two marks. Two! By a ruckman. Surely Reidy could’ve done better.

Jackson isn’t athletic. He doesn’t go in hard. He’s scared.

Reidy took three marks in the WAFL, I don't think he is the answer

yeah with context it makes sense, but I’m also over Ryan and Cox chipping the ball back and forth to each other when there’s inboard or more attacking options

Yeah it's kinda hard to get up for watching at least next weeks likely pasting at the hands of GWS. Or worse still, valiant effort where we lead in the 4th quarter then capitulate again.

Yeah, eco.

You can't be serious.

 

[Purpletown]

Pat Voss got to the ball often today but couldn't hold a mark to save his life (and ours) He tries hard but offers very little on his current form.

It was very frustrating to see so many of our kicks to leading players fall short.

We make things look so difficult at critical times.

Hopefully we can salvage something out of the wreckage of this season over the next two weeks. Over to you FFC.

PS Pick a ruckman if Darcy is unavailable

 

[largebus]

Lost that game at selection. Tabs used to at least block well, watching at the ground he spent a lot of time guarding grass. Worner, yeah, not a fan, he wasn't the only one to soil himself late in the game.

GWS arent invincible but boy it's gonna be an uphill battle just to make finals.

 

[dont bowl there]

Reidy took three marks in the WAFL, I don't think he is the answer

He just needed to compete today and allow the structure to somewhat stay the same with Treacy out. Stanley took 2 marks today and KILLED Jackson. What was the hit out number today?

I don't even care about the cash. I rather lost my $10 and Freo won

Taberner is risky and left field? More shit and unwarranted I would say

48 to 27 against us.

He's the complete opposite of risky and left field haha

Cool. Seems like we could have used a ruck.

Oh, my bad. I didn't see that you were replying to Reidy to play AHEAD of Jackson. Sorry. Agree Reidy is not the long term answer, but he should have played today and allowed Jackson to play forward.
