Review Freo dims the Suns by 20

[apuchar]

Did you what we needed to.

Liked Chappy’s game, especially early. Clark had some really nice moments.
Hughes showed exactly what supporters hope to see in a first gamer - desperation and some brains. By no means perfect, but looks like there is something there for sure.

Jackson a concern, out bodied too often.

Swans will win comfortably next week.

Davies but we knew who you meant

 

[FreoGirl]

Did Darcy ruck the whole game? Can't recall seeing anyone else in the centre.

Yes because Jackson was on Mac

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I'll give a positive shout out to Brayshaw who was incredible defensively in there (as well as his touches and goal). Must have stopped 4 clean centre clearances all by himself

They were always going to- 7 day break and no travel for weeks

Just as well, because he kept giving the ball back

 

[Firesharter]

The team is riding its talent and not really showing a great deal of hunger, which is a ****ing worry. That wasn’t an adequate response to last week at all.

 

[Jezzitizle]

Actually I’ve been a massive JOM detractor, but he was good defensively today and did a couple of nice things with the ball. Can’t recall any cat 10s.

If he can be around that mark, he has a spot in the 22.

 

[FreoGirl]

Very mixed game, feels like we won off the back of a few. Some were a liability and I'm particularly concerned about what to do with Fyfe who has moved into Walters "double grab" territory.

Still should have won by 40 points if we kicked accurately

Fyfe was pretty good

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I think that was a symptom of getting it so much, though he did.have a couple of noticeable clangers. He'll get 10 votes

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Heavily heavily disagree from what I saw live

Didn’t see it that way myself, thought we were very competitive early but ran out of legs.

Good we kept taking the game on late actually, typically the boys would have started the slow sideways chip chip until forced to bomb it long.

Not while Young is getting 24 at high efficiency and kicking 3 goals

 

[FreoGirl]

Some people actively choose to be miserable

 

[chaosball32]

Mixed feelings after that one.

The good: we won, we’re 5th, our midfield remembered how to kick goals, Chapman proved why he was such a massive out last week, Treacy continues to show the rest of the team how to take a contested mark, Young and Brayshaw had their best games of the year, Sturt is showing why he should have been in the team years ago, Davies didn’t have the best game but he’s got a shitload of potential.

The bad: that game should have been over by half time, once again failing to make the most of our dominance due to inaccuracy, couldn’t get the ball out of our back half at times, and almost capitulated in the 4th when Pearce went off. What should have been a comfortable win ended up being way closer than it should have been. Amiss is seriously down on form this year, I barely noticed him at all today, sending him to the WAFL for a game or 2 and getting Voss back in the team wouldn’t be the worst idea but it won’t happen. Still don’t think Jackson is worth the price tag, and Fyfe needs to remember it’s not 2017 anymore and stop trying to fend off everybody and get caught HTB everytime.

I am not confident at all for Sydney next week, they’ll thump us if we play like we did today, but we did beat them at the SCG last year so there’s that.

100%

Young is a talking point actually, was frequently the deepest forward. I've not seen that before

 

[FreoGirl]

I was there too and watched him rally the kids when Pearce went down

 

[CapitalA]

Fyfe sucks.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Great for leadership, but he was a liability in the middle. Couldn't take it cleanly most of the time and really hurt us. I don't know what we do with him

 

[Purpletown]

Josh Treacy.

 

[Alfonz]

The team is riding its talent and not really showing a great deal of hunger, which is a ****ing worry. That wasn’t an adequate response to last week at all.

They accounted for a half decent side easily and would have won by 40-50 points apart from goal kicking. I think it was a more than adequate team performance.

 

[FreoGirl]

Josh Treacy.

That mark!

 

[kingswood71]

We are kinda flaky. Periods we look like an expensive bottle of wine and other times look like passion-pop.
I think our fine wine moments are good enough to match it with any side....We just need more of them.
Thought darcy and young were good.
Treacy is a beast and is a future 200+ game player
Clark again good. as was Chapman.
Hope AP's arm is okay.

He was…not

He was clean and effective disposal
