Freo fans: tonight hurts but at least be courteous to each other while venting.

Oppostion fans or anyone out to have a crack: don't post here. You will get banned and you will get points.
 
It doesn't matter what his direct opponent does, despite his direct opponent being best on ground

Read that again and make that make sense please?
Yes. It actually makes perfect sense. I remember a little game in Adelaide almost 10 years ago where Fyfe's opponent was arguably best on ground. I don't remember anyone presenting this argument back then. If we had lost that game would it have been Fyfe's fault, you know, since Dangerfield had the sort of game he had.

Fyfe matched/bettered Yeo in certain areas around the ground, namely clearances. Maybe he has more of an impact if the player he kicks it to actually contests the ball.

The big issues:
  • The gameplan - this chip game does not work against pressure unless you play with speed and can execute the skills over 4 quarters. We took Carlton and PA's games away from them the last few weeks, and then the Eagles did the same to us as they knew what to expect. The game plan isn't viable long term if the players continue to hesitate when they move the ball.

It doesn't work against anything and never has.
 
He hasn't played in I can't remember how long. Many forward entries were intercepted, it was more to do with structure. Either way, gotta get used to it, we have little depth and he needs a few more games before a call is made. Showed a lot last year and confident he can turn it around.
He actually showed very little last year and in his whole career for people to be babying him like this still. He was ass today, as were many others. Stop trying to make excuses for him.
 
I think we could try Simpson. Switta could come in. Let's face it, 3 kicks a game isn't too much. I'm sure they could get to a few more contests than Sonny can at the moment too.

The issue is Sonny was getting cooked by his opponent everywhere…he just doesn’t have the legs anymore, and Longmuir needs to bite the bullet

He sucked, but not as bad as Banfield. I'd rather have some bloke kick them through the big sticks
 
Listened to the presser. Nothing will change next week

“We played well for the first five weeks. This competition is brutal and throws these results up”. Blah blah blah bullshi* bullshi* bullshi*

Will be the same old next week
Won’t be saying that after the vision. Teams will see what Eagles did to us.
 
IMO they are listless because we play an unnatural game plan that is counter to how footy players want to play.
They were more than listless. They were downright embarrassing. I wasn't embarrassed with them last week or v Carlton. I am perplexed how you can be so hard on the coach yet a complete apologist for the players, many of who were disgraceful tonight.

Yeo killed us. Plain and simple. Not that hard to understand. Fyfes stats look good, but he was meh
 
Watched the presser…..yeah nothing much to take out of it. I would have liked him to say the players are embarrassed as are the coaches . Only words I know but at least signal to the supporters the club consider this performance unacceptable..
 
This faux rivalry with Carlton is now even funnier.

They beat the premiership favourites and we lost to a WAFL standard team

The coach is responsible for structures, team selection and overall performance of the team.
Its called accountability, it's a job.
He continually selects underperforming players and making minimal changes to said players.
What is his first quarter record for the past 2 years?
There's something not working here.

I can be harsh on the players if I want. What will that do? What matters is if the coach can demand more of the players. But I don't believe he could get grannies in the Country Women's Association fired up to bake scones.

Fascinating how you have an issue with Sturt after watching that game.

Jackson took one whole mark. Brayshaw? The whole back line? Banfield? Johnson? Walters? Walker?

Nope. Sturt apparently

Wtf
 
For those looking to switch to following other sports might I suggest cricket. Travis head is 84 not out off 30 odd balls and the bloke at the other end has a higher strike rate. Going at 20 something an over.
