Game Day Fremantle vs Sydney on a Friday night in Perth

[stobes]

Go expected scoreboard!

 

[MadMundy]

**** what I would give to have a sustained run of being a good team like Sydney, never really been down for long this century.

 

[Randomizor]

Freddy off for Walter’s is a… decision

 

[poshman]

Six out on the full as well as 13 behinds… not many rushed. Strange game of football.

Freddy subbed for Walters interesting as Freddy normally kills it in the last with his running.

Go expected scoreboard!

Maybe after this game is over I’ll watch our 2013 expected premiership victory!

 

[Grape Bear]

I don’t have the heart to bag the team tonight, not with the real life loss they’ve just had. If us as fans have been affected, what about these guys who’ve played alongside him? The show must go on, but I’m not surprised if a good lot of them are mentally off. Give them a bit of grace, they’re human.

Walters expected to impact enough to create a win in one quarter. Needed to roll the dice at half time.
Just academic now.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

That’s what makes this even more alarming.
We aren’t actually playing bad. They are just much better players as a group.

This reminds me of an EPL soccer match where a side like West Ham or wolves heads to Liverpool or Man City, shows loads of fight and heart, but the bottom line is the superior footballers on the field get the win though superior skills.
Goals come easily for Sydney. They don’t for Fremantle.

I dont think it's that dire, it's not llike Sydney have been this good on goal all year, they are shooting really well, we are shooting really poorly. It's like a weird 20% swing both way that has it how it is

The ball has just gone to the swans tonight, spoils, quick kicks just have found swans players

I don’t know how quick the mods are removing things that I’m not seeing but it feels like some overreaction from some. I haven’t seen anything toxic. We are getting pumped, and fans are hurting.

Fans are also hurting because they understand their players are hurting. Most of us would request a day off work if someone we loved died. Anybody who has lost a friend unexpectedly has a shroud of confusion over them for days, and it not expected to grieve so personally.

I saw one female supporter being called a "pearl twirler" for defending players. I think that's pretty toxic..

As I said. Strange game of football. We should we right with them in this one.

 

[noise36]

Htb on rampi?

 

[Jeba]

Rampy just drops the ball in the tackle and is play on, umpires pet

 

[Freomaniac]

I don’t think we are playing bad at all. We shouldn’t be any more than three goals behind. Finish is missing in a big way.

2.13.25 is bad.

6.9.45 would be better. 5.10.40 is tolerable

 

[dockshark]

I agree with this to an extent. I will add a difference is our key forwards are very young. Add that to a lack of small attacking class and we have issues.

There’s more to it. We are also creating entries at angles, and too many of our entries are too slow or stunted so our forwards are running in patterns, multiple leading attempts etc so they will be more fatigued when they actually kick. Sometimes the analysis is too shallow in my view, we see a lot of missed shots and conclude it’ just bad kicking at goal.

 

[trentjac]

Who’s coming in?

Switkowski on the flip side has been ******* awful, and doesn’t do anything other then pressure.

Small forwards are a joke at Fremantle

Switta doesn’t even add pressure. Nothing footballer

There’s been plenty of instances in sport where teams have triumphed through adversary.

Like I've said on the Non freo thread every week, there's different rules for Sydney

Anyone who ever expects a Freo side to ever kick 25.3 has not got one single darn clue about Freo.
