Autopsy Freo Lose To North at Home

[mike91]

The All Australian Squad is where they throw the bad teams a consolation prize. Cmon. Next you’ll tell me he’s nice to his mum

Mate.....what?

 

[WilloTree]

Didnt even bother watching the game tonight as I thought this might happen. Thought i'd much better spend my time on something else useful, like being with friends and family.

Now that it's happened, i think i'm done with this club. 28 years of so much support i've given, so much money and time, yet they make stupidly poor decisions which make us a laughing stock. I'm sick of it.

Tonight is the night i tear up my support for this club. will i choose someone else? NO. just back to the WAFL for me.

good luck for the future purples, but for me i'm out of tickets.

Sorry to hear that. I guess we all have our breaking point.

 

[Outshined]

Believe it or not I still reckon your midfield pants ours, Walters still has too much run for us. Its just your forward line looking blunt.

Fyfe coming back MAYBE fixes that?

The midfield on paper should beat at least 12 or so other sides fairly comfortably, for whatever reason they just can't function atm.

It'll be close and I don't think you'll find many Freo fans sharing your confidence we'll roll West Coast.

 

[Chief Brody]

Well.

Oh God just what do you say. Just tuned into to 6pr to hear the review but the first caller Karl Langdon took was an eagle supporter confessing he only rang up to stir the pot and comment how good that was. (Short memories perhaps?)

Just quickly, the umps, not sure who they were but will investigate, rode north all night so to be surprised that they actually broke the rules not to call deliberate should be no real surprise. More disappointing is that because we're so insignificant it'll get very little review and or press about it.

As I said during the week this was a light 50/50 game to which most shot me down. Saints destroyed dogs tonight which shoes that both them and north under clarkson and Lyon will be very competitive this year. What speaks volumes about that is how truly incompetent Jlo is a senior coach. We are going to get left behind under him which sucks because I believed in him to take is to glory. He however is not up to it so strap yourselves in for years of pain.

Our midfield is C standard. Twice now we've been smashed in the middle against rather poor oppo minds. Get used to it, brayshaw has big heart but lacks polish, serong is small and inconsistent, omeara is old and slow, and brodie is tom rockliff

2.0. Rucks can't tap to advantage, take a mark when it counts and easily manhandled when it counts. Jackson gets an F. I'm sorry but he offers nothing. Melbourne must be laughing all the way to the trade table. Can't tap, can't mark, can't kick, outbodied but hey he's only young and im sure will grow into that million dollar contract.

Our forward line . Speaks for itself. Jlo throwing Cox down there to ultimately win us the game is funny sad and scary all at once.

I'm going to pull back and stop investing so much in thesr soul suckers for, I dunno a goood 3-5 as it's not good for my mental health. And when you see the weags shoot pass us in the next couple you will too.

Goodnight and goodbye ffc

Nice of you to hop over to Freo's board after a loss, make an inane comment about Michael Walter's age, then have a crack at a Freo poster.

You're a classy little fella aren't you?

Hows about you piss off now. I'll be certain to visit you tomorrow.

Mop is fine

 

[mike91]

Why has he been dragged uninjured in the first two games?

Because our couch doesn't have the balls to sub Jackson, knowing the headlines would be enormous and hurt his confidence.

Doesn't want to hurt the confidence of Treacy and Amiss because they're young, but then drops Treacy anyway.

It's dangerous actually, having a scared coach

 

[royale with cheese]

Not hard. Because it's more than any other tall forwards we have. Sam Sturt even has a better average that Josh Treacy.

Treacy is about as good as early career Taberner.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Man, I'm really now appreciating my current level of support for Warriors in the NBA. Just enough where I can enjoy a win, but not enough where I cant completely disassociate if needed

 

[hoss]

He is bad! He’s the worst 1st call key forward we’ve ever had. Our best season since Pav retired is the one Taberner played the fewest games

You're showing a complete lack of knowledge now. Tabs was one of the best contested marks in the AFL over several seasons and has made an AA squad. No where near our worst tall forward. Respectfully, your judgement is completely clouded and you're clearly wrong. I will give you ten worse tall forwards if you want.

GG Freo. What a nail biter. I think if Taberner clunks a few of those marks this game would be a different story.

Lmao.

 

[trentjac]

We really need to blood some youngsters. This is not our year by any stretch so we need to see what is in the sheds with highly ranked/touted players in Erasmus, Johnson and Sturt.

If we can’t squeeze these guys in and drop 3 from that performance, we have no chance.

I would also bring back Traecy

 

[freo1]

Sorry to hear that. I guess we all have our breaking point.

Thanks mate. yep, thanks for your words. i have bled purple, even to the point of breaking friendships but after tonight i have better priorities. Even amateurs like me can see there are simple selection decisions that can be made to solve things.

 

[royale with cheese]

No he wasn’t.

 

[Mop]

I'm genuinely not here to stir the pot. I was honestly curious about Walters as I rate him and, having met the guy, he's a nice dude. No malice here.

I genuinely still think you beat us and probably make finals. Everyone is dropping games right now.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Man, I'm really now appreciating my current level of support for Warriors in the SFA. Just enough where I can enjoy a win, but not enough where I cant completely disassociate if needed

FTFY

 

[mike91]

Lmao.

Oh by all means, explain to me how Tabs gets subbed yet Treacy gets dropped?

 

[freo1]

Becoming more clear each week that he's a ruckman. Can't believe we paid 2 firsts and a 2nd rounder for a ruckman when we already have one of the best rucks in the comp.

this was clear before we picked him up. could not believe we wanted him. dumbest decision in our long history of dumb decisions. now we will likely lose Darcy out of this and further impload.

 

[Torree]

Chuck JOM at HFF. He sure as sh!t isn’t a clearance MiD

At least alternate between him and Fyfe to share the load. Right now you’ve got 2 players who are going to falter under expectations placed on them.

 

[believe_it]

I do agree that I think Treacy should have been the one to come in for Fyfe not Amiss. The reason that Tabs annoyed me so much was that incident when he took too long. That's brain exploding stuff - I was shouting at the screen for him to hurry up.

 

[Chief Brody]

GG Freo. What a nail biter. I think if Taberner clunks a few of those marks this game would be a different story.

Go away we're grieving

Your question is a good one and I agree where was Walters all night? That’s on the coach.

But you should also know better coming in here to a losing teams board stirring the pot. What do you expect?

 

[Kapow!!!]

That’s why I’m out. I said it last year and they sucked me back in. This time I’m done. Will watch with some interest, but no emotional investment. Maybe I’m a fair weather supporter - but I reckon not.

See ya round peoples! Might pop in to say gday here and there, but won’t be a regular. Anyone wanna catch up for a natter, send me a DM.

Freo forever, eh!

Yeah you're definitely the furtherest thing from a fair weather fan IP. I'm genuinely saddened by your post and am rather reflective on my own ability to support with (very positive) changes happening in my own life.

Sad to see this IP.

 

[King Tenz]

Think the same tbh.

Other clubs gonna come up and offer Darcy 750k plus to leave and he will because I doubt we're gonna want to pay 2 rucks 750k each. Just dumb list management.

 

[Lach72]

The issue I have with Taberner is he’s largely emblematic of the way the coach wants us to play.

So deliberate ball movement, topped, with forwards who don’t lead, and can’t mark.

Tabs backing into the defender waving his arms in the air.

So I’d prefer he was moved out and we tell the young forwards to lead lead lead and the midfield to extract the ****ing digit

Was looking at Cox thinking he’d be pretty good up there and we could use Logue
