hard to tell. It seemed like just business as usual from the usual suspects (Pearce and Suban). Just hack the ball forward and kick it to the hotspot.
Speaking of hotspots. Why were the Eagles able to mark the ball so often 30m directly infront.

We failed on so many of the basic levels. Protecting the corrider, protecting 30m out in front. Giving up so much space to leading forwards. Most of that can be fixed with some basic tactics and effort.

Struggling to see what the point of that game was. Unless they were happy just blowing out the cobwebs.

fair to say struggled :(
Dam, he will get there. Seems like defence was a bit of a mess (it's 1st game ffs). not sure why people are getting so angry over this match. Was 1st match for Freo to try different things.

Doubt the scores even matter to the coaches, more of a session to see how their strategic plans hold up. It's preseason guys, was WCE 2nd match so they reviewed their 1st match (where they got smashed) and put more plans into place. Expected result IMO, however it doesn't define the clubs success for the real season
 
I'm curious why Darcy only came on in the last quarter.
In those conditions I would have thought a continual rotation of the full bench would be better.

With that performance, it's amazing we kept the margin to only 55 points.
We even made Lecras look like a good player.

I think freo cannot depend on sheriden and sutty, ibbo . fast track Luke Ryan ,play Collins logue in next week match .
 
I know it's only one pre season game and I'm happy to be proven wrong but it looked a lot like Hamling has been a part of a team that plays great football and has been able to cruise along with them but once exposed in the one on one he gets found out

The amount of space he was giving Kennedy was ridiculous and after we switched Dawson back there suddenly Kennedys only possessions were up in the centre square
 
On reflection I'm thinking they don't really implement specific plans and play tagging roles in these kind of games, its more just seeing how the structures and transition work under live fire.
A few things came off but not many. Long way to go.
