Review Freo downs Pie, 6-5 before Bye

[kingswood71]

Amazing win.
Never gave up. Could have spat teh dummy when they were 18 points up, but worked our way back into it.
Hope AP is not serious....
Our forward entries are a work in progress, but at least we are forcing multiple repeat entries that creates turnovers.
Looking good for after the bye.
Ross showing that he can mold and build a young side.

Positives
- Beating a top 2 team @ The MCG
- Coming back from 14 points down to win
- Jesse Hogan kicking some goals
- Blokes just putting their head over the ball and attacking the footy Brayshaw and Hughes both did it with prejudice.
- Putting in a performance like that with Mundy having a bit of an off game
- Our defence was awesome with 4 or 5 goals kicked off of free kicks
- Wilson looking dangerous again. I think I'm ok with him getting caught holding the ball occasionally if it means he runs and guns 9/10 times.
- Lobb neutralized Grundy

Negatives
- Pearce going down
- People in the game day thread saying it was over at quarter time. Jesus. A game goes for 4 quarters.
- People claiming all performances good or bad are a result of the coach. It's not on 1 bloke.
- The commentary
- Umpiring, eat a dick.

ENJOY THE WIN!!!!

Amazing win!!! Congratulations to all

You bloody beauty - that is all!

Great win. What can you say? It was awesome! A massive surprise and Im ultra proud in the players but equally impressed in our coaches to drag that game back after it looked like we were gone and the Pies had the class.

Al I can say is, I’m starting to believe just a bit and imagine what we’d be like with even half the terrible skill errors.

Fyfe and Hill are huge and are easily our most important players.

 

[heavho]

Shut up about that goal. Unless it’s the last kick of the game, you don’t know that it changed anything. Perhaps it gets called a point, gets kicked out straight into a Freo player, who turns around a kicks a goal anyways. What’s the point of speculation:

Exactly what I was thinking

 

[Thistle]

Huge! Love this team's effort and spirit!

- Big credits to Ross - game plan was spot on
- Fyfe and Walters no words need to be said
- Fyfe's kicking has improved significantly
- Brayshaw was magnificent in the last
- Forward entries still an issue
- Lobb recruit of the year
- Hogan better but could have done more
- I'm starting to dream
- **** Ben Dixon

Pearce goes down in the third and we still scrape by with the win. It's only going to galvanise this group and give them the belief that they can match it with the best. Wherever, whenever.

After already smashing GWS in Canberra, the club's turned the page today on a new chapter. The lid is almost off on the F-word peeps. Almost... But one thing's for sure.

FREO IS OFFICIALLY BACK.

 

[Square Peg]

How amazing was that? Sensational win, I honestly expected us to get pumped. Six day break and we ran it out better cause we wanted it more. Brilliant brilliant win

Apologies to my neighbours, my mrs and my dog for my language that half.

 

[StingBitten]

Barracking commentators, biased umps, player down and we give them the big **** you.

And I'm in Victoria and didn't even go. Shit.

 

[kingswood71]

Fyfe's kicking has improved significantly

You would almost think he had been having skills practice

 

[Belnakor]

Yewwwwwww

King is such a ******* flog

he is a campaigner always has been. Those old enough to remember he pretended he wanted to goto Freo when he was playing but it was all a show -he would never lower himself to play for Freo.

 

[yoong]

Such a satisfying win.
I'll say we would have controlled the game and scoreboard if not for the dodgy free in front of the goals given to Collingwood.

 

[Rob]

Season defining win.

Our next 3 are all very winnable....Port at home, Melbourne at the G and Carlton at home.

Then derby.

Just can't **** up the next 3.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Man, what an incredible win. So incredibly proud of the boys

AB is gonna be an out and out star. To stand up like that, as a second year player with consecutive 6 days breaks.

What an incredible leader

 

[Freoforever86]

Just need Bennell to light it up today and next week and Hill to slot back in and we’re looking good.

How good was Brayshaw that last quarter after a shaky 3qtrs. Attacked it like a boss!!

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Words cant describe how much of a flog Ben Dixon is, the most blatant cheering from a "commentator" since Eddie was allowed to commentate Pies games. His bias is only being a Vic flog though which makes it worse

Him and King can GAGF

 

[malpaso]

Great Win. Concerned for Alex Pearce though, can't afford to lose him.

Bucks out-coached by the Boss today.. Superb effort by our youngsters, really impressed by Bewley would have been better if he nailed one of those kicks.

 

[gaskin]

Suck shit. Oh how I am going to enjoy the salt this week.

Fyfe and Hill were huge. Brayshaw was excellent and some of his attacks on the ball were what he has been missing this season. The backline standing up huge after Pearce went down was crucial to getting over the line.

That pressure. My god that was a thing of beauty and something we haven't seen for years.

Like last week, we should have won by more but goal kicking and inside 50s nearly cost us.

Going into this I never would have thought we would have outplayed Collingwood at the MCG.

 

[Dale147]

The boys are loving the RTB cuddles, Conca brought that.

 

[Clems Knee]

Words cant describe how much of a flog Ben Dixon, the most blatant cheering from a "commentator" since Eddie was allowed to commentate Pies games.

Him and King can go away

I thought Kings performance was worse than Eddie McGuire commentating a Collingwood game. He really should be sacked.

 

[Dale147]

Hoping Moose is ok, plenty of good joo joo his way.

 

[yakka man]

The usual players, ie Hill, Wilson, Walters, Fyfe, are standing up late in games and refusing to give up. All are in superb touch.
