Game Day Freo Vs Swans @ Optus

[Sweetback]

Nothing else to lose...Time for the team to stand up. Put MJ and Ras in the middle. JLo be ballsy please

We have to change something in there

 

[pK75]

Wagner, Corbett, and Sturt failing their tests. None are AFL quality and should get moved on.

Such a bad take, all 3 are not our worst, getting done over in the middle and not enough defensive run from our mids when they turn it over.

 

[Schauermann]

Another half to go. Not sure that is a good thing...

 

[largebus]

Forward has been okay all things considered.
The midfield are like the supporters and have checked out for the year

 

[believe_it]

Disagree - it doesn’t work because the handballs aren’t good enough.

 

[heavho]

Wonder if we could fit in hamling,Pearce and cox in the same side. with Darcy,fyfe,cox,aish,Tabener,Chapman out etc we need to test the fringe. Got no choice season is done just about. It’s about next year now

 

[imperial_oz]

We are in the top few for frees for.

Ok, raw numbers aren't a metric that's worth it's weight in sh*t.

This game, we are leading the fc count. 2 of them given with under 10 seconds before the siren, so worth nothing. 2 frees given late after we had possession and had moved on with the ball. That's half our frees to zero value.

Then we players held off the ball, pushed out of marks, an intentional push away to waste time by a Sydney player just before half time with no call.

We are not even close to being one of the top teams for getting the frees we should or value for our frees. How many times against Collingwood last week when downfield frees were brought back 50 metres to the player that was infringed. I'll help you out, that happened 3 times. Those 3 frees penalised the team.

Don't go giving me this numbers of frees when you ignore 90% of the context. It's stupid.

 

[apuchar]

Our defence us too slow also. Have we got any line sorted?

 

[Righteo]

I accept that we're young and inexperienced and a team like Sydney should be beating us like they are. I can't accept looking like a clueless rabble when I watch teams with similar age profiles like Gold Coast, Adelaide and even Hawthorn playing wayyyy more organised and direct footy

 

[E Shed]

Funny the different way we all see things. I haven't been following this thread and have been thinking Sturt is finally starting to look confident at the level, he's been leading up the ground, linking up well. He's finally getting more involved.

Corbett has done similar, taken some good marks up the ground, can see his kicking isn't terrific but he hasn't been awful.
Wagner is taking the game on.

Good to see Erasmus starting to find himself at the level too. He's going nicely. Brayshaw has been great.

Such an awful year, we're back to being a rabble mostly. You can see we have the makings of a good side but gee its looking a long ways off right now.
I don't think I've ever done this but I think I'm going to turn over to the Pies, Port game and watch some high quality footy.

 

[Rob]

The gameplan is an absolute dud. Sydney are just putting more players at the ball because they know that even if we get our hands on it we're probably going to turn it over, and even if we don't we're going to mess around with it long enough so they can get numbers back.

Our only chance is that they get tired.

Just saw image of JL warming up players with handball drill in rooms. Looked dejected and down. Needs to be amping the boys up.... disgusting

Meh. I’m just enjoying the ride at this stage. We have what? Two 20 year olds as our main tall forwards. Seeing them compete from either poor or limited service is at least something to be happy for the future about. Youth is never an excuse. Just a reason. Rather be playing these blokes and getting them experience

 

[CakeEater]

I actually think Wagner Sturt and Corbett have been ok.

Ran to the right spots but havent executed as well as we would like.

Its been the backline whom havent been much chop and our mids havent been awesome.

 

[heavho]

The big issue this year has been the positioning of our rovers in the center bounces. They are not positioned correctly

 

[Lach72]

Henry has been excellent. I hope he stays.

that’s a bit over the top but he’s been ok.

Would love to see Treacy and jackson as an extra mid at the bounce, with Erasmus and Johnson

 

[Jeba]

Well done, cmon freo

 

[Superkoops]

Bring on Stanley for MJ. Bit of injection on the wing.

 

[Lach72]

Hamling is killing Amartey

 

[Jeba]

Legand sonny

 

[believe_it]

Great goal sonny

 

[Randomizor]

How does he do that so consistently?

 

[Lach72]

Great play boys

 

[vidwhal]

Hamling is killing Amartey

Hamling can still Hamling

 

[Tobiko]

Alright fellas...believe! Lets go Freo!!
