Review Freo Overrun Against the Dogs

[Snuffaluphagus]

Not sure what happen in the last 20 min. Finals out now where I imagine we finish close to an even ledger by the end of the year.

Worth remembering we were in front in the last so it’s not all doom and gloom though disappointing we couldn’t lift when needed

Wonder why Jackson played almost the whole game forward

To be a point in front then lose by 5 goals is a massive concern.

Ran out of juice I guess. I haven’t seen any of the game though.
Amiss getting four goals is huge though

Lucky I bought myself a home gym setup recently so I can vent my anger productively…

 

[mike91]

Same problems still exist

Don't drop Ras, invest in him for the rest of the season, there's a good reward there

Genuinely don't think we have smart footballs at the club

 

[Righteo]

A team was always going to buck the post-bye blues and it was always going to be against us.

In hindsight, the fact I was hopeful about this game should have been a red flag. Peak Dockery today.

Darcy gave English an absolute bath.

The two dodgy free kicks turning to goals was the turning point.

 

[King Tenz]

Very dockery. Being the only team to lose to a team coming off the bye.

Anyway, seasons over. Very disappointing year.

How do we reckon Henry did? A shitload of the ball but some of his kicks were soul crushing stuff. No point getting lots of kicks if your kicks are ratshit.

****ing infuriating game. Finally get the lead in the 4th, Lobb gets gifted a free that is not there my any measure. Ok whatever, move on. But the centre bounce straight after JL thinks its a good idea to have JT, Erasmus, and Johnson in there vs a bunch of 200 gamer dogs??? Ras gives away another free, dogs straight i50. The the next centre bounce JT clearly gets held, nothing called, dogs waltz away i50.

A few calls against and the team gets into their heads and gives up almost immediately. There's no fight there. There's no will to win. It's all woe is me. And the coaching decisions to play that centre bounce combination absolutely lost us the game.

 

[Lach72]

Heh. Just looked at the stats

We had an extra 100 possessions and lost by 5 goals?

 

[Taylor]

It had all the signs of a team that got off the bus late, had to work harder to catch up and then ran out of effort in the tank because of it.

We need to have someone else motivating the players before they run out, they start too slow.

Seems a very similar year to Port last year tbh. Dropped too many at the start of the year then playing catch up where we occasionally look close to the 8 but aren’t good enough.

Frustrating year though

Would the club be bold enough to chase a proven coach like Hardwick we’ve done it before, i don’t see it with JLo.

Good for the most part. I'd keep him in. 2 or 3 shockers but that means that he had about 25+ that were good.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Jackson has to be carrying something I assume, missed the Jackson we had since round 7 today

Was a quantity over quantity game. Wasn't our worse, but a fairly average 30+ game

 

[holybishop]

Treacy in the ruck after we took the lead in the last was an awful call.

JLo would be a great assistant coach to Hardwick, shame it couldn't happen though.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Given our age this is still a good year.

The challenge for us is keeping it all together - we have what we need to challenge.

Games like today where we don't take our chances and start slow are all part of the journey - as frustrating as it may be.

 

[FreoRicci]

Game was there to be won.
Baffling changes in that 5 minute period where Johnson, Treacy, Erasmus are in the middle.
Erasmus either starts or not at all.

The forward line needs a their tall, and Banfield is that. Fyfe struggles there

 

[largebus]

Internet came back just as we hit the front. Should've stuck with the radio.

Too many negatives so I think one positive is we know what CBA combos don't work. Erasmus and Johnson together are too similar and inexperienced and they slaughtered us from there.

Anyway, unless we beat both Port and Collingwood finals are done. I get young team rah rah but it's no real excuse for some of these 2008 style fadeouts.
