Review GBU vs Freo

[Sucka4Love]

Good:
We cant lose in two weeks time THANK GOD

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I want to say I'm surprised by the result but I'm not.

Walker didn't even look up to it! I'm starting a mini pre-season that takes 4 weeks, has one week off and boom in the side again.

 

[officialjc]

worst thing about this is that you just know we will absolutely smash a contender later in the year.

 

[Iron]

Is this the part where the poorly patched "ve" falls off of Collective Minds, revealing "ng". And Mr Failed Musician travels back to his homeworld with the secret herbs and spices that made up our decent 2017.

I bet it is. And I bet that Luke Beveridge hired him.

Good
Doedee. Champ
Talia. Tried.
Poholke. Showed a bit despite his kicking.

Bad.
Murphy - not up to it
CEY - ditto
Gibson - same.
Atkins - useless right now.
Jacobs - BOG for Freo tonight.
Milera - nowhere in the second half
Fogarty - tried but basically not afl standard right now.
Browns kicking.

Ugly.
Mackay. Disgusting he is still playing for us.
Walker. Not fit. Send him in for surgery.
Kelly. Worst player for AFC in a long, long time.
No confidence in the club to get rid of the useless campaigners running the show (Clarke, Campo, Burton, Haas, Hart).

 

[Vhaluus]

Injuries have exposed our recruitment and coaching departments. Beaten by a team of spuds. I know a club when i see it that is on the same page and trying their guts out and we are far from it. Something smells down at west lakes.

Nothing wrong with our recruiters.

It's when the non recruiters get involved that things go to shit.

I'm still highly sceptical our recruiting team was so big on Gibbs, that has the smell of upper management all over it particularly with how it was handled on our first attempt.

It's OK, the SANFL team plays Sturt.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Might get in trouble with the AFL for making it too obvious that we're tanking.

Would it be, though?

He played well in the reserves last week

 

[Redleg Crow]

Dillon: "Benny Hart, I don't think he is the problem, he is a very knowledgeable footballer"

 

[GROTTO]

Playing Mackay is like tanking.

Gibbs was a mistake for what we gave up. Should have been done the year before for 1 first rounder or not at all.

 

[Slippery Pete]

Christ Kym Dillon is terrible on talk back

Sycophant doesn’t even begin to describe him.

 

[come on oliver]

Painful club to follow. Freo 1-39 the only positive.
Hawks $1.80 ladbrokes next week. Load up

Good
The season is over thank ****!
2019 here we come!!

Bad
The season is over

Ugly
See the good and the bad

Unless someone edits together a Crow's version of the ''Port versus the bye'' vid from a few years back.

 

[Crow54]

Basically that he was the softest player in the history of the AFL (or words to that effect)

That'll go down well. Good for team bonding. They'll all be playing for each other, not.

 

[footy4ever]

midfield was abysmal in that last quarter. against a fyfeless freo.

one positive was luke brown (minus injury) always feel safe with him on the last line. one of our reliable players.

And now injured- of course.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

You know what disappoints me?

Matt Crouch: 0 tackles

You know it's bad when your best mid from last year is putting in no defensive effort

If he is fit without any shoulder injury, then I have no idea.

Ditto, Greenwood playing injured

Tex underdone.

Sauce shyte.

I'm so mad at Burton & Haas, as they are the main reason why our side is cooked. Now out season is over, we should sack both immediately & look to bring in quality people who won't destroy a talented squad.

 

[Vader]

Look. We were bad. But that's a bit of an overreaction.

There's a lot of that going on. Let's not forget that we were literally missing half our team. AWOL tonight were Brouch, Sloane, Smith, McGovern, Knight, Lynch and Laird, with Mrouch & Tex massively underdone, and JJ & Brown getting injured during the game. It is absolutely no surprise at all that we're playing abysmally - the Sydney game was a massive aberration, and we've struggled in every other game against even moderately decent opposition. Do not underestimate the impact of losing so many key players, playing underdone players, and a lack of continuity from so many senior players.

2018 is completely shot, and we now have no chance of making the finals. We're now too far behind the 8-ball, even if we do get a bunch of players back after the break. That doesn't mean that coaches should be taken out the back and shot, or that it's "time for a rebuild".

 

[LittleCrowBoy]

Ugly - After not being able to secure a GF ticket last year I purchased a finals series ticket for this year at $1400
I figured we were good for a prelim at WOSRST.....a semi if all went wrong.
Here we are....a basket case of a club playing with zero intent or passion.....ANYONE can beat us ATM.
No finals this year....what a poor investment that was. Brisbane attack the ball harder !!!!!

 

[Redleg Crow]

Basically have to ask - has Pyke lost them. There doesn't seem much fire and desire, and there sure as hell doesn't seem much sense of players knowing what they need to do (or want to do it)

 

[Perthcrow23]

The afc has proven beyond doubt it has the inabilty and comple lack of intelligence to make the hard call. No players at the club are held accountable. Not one. And they continue to just pump out the same 18 with the other 4 poistions rotated on a merry go round. No senior player has been held to account. No coach has been forced to think beyond plan a. No supporter should have to pay a membership for such consistent tripe being served up with no consequences for those in paid positions at the club. We need an INTERNAL REVIEW now, the fans demand it! Start a thread....

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

No finals this year. Could be a blessing in disguise given the draft.
Our first will now be enough for Rankine.
We need to trade Lynch (first), Melbourne’s first and our 2019 first at Brisbane (Lukosius).

Time to rebuild.

It's not a blessing that arguably the best squad misses the finals... but agree with the sentiment that we have picked a good draft year to screw up.

Huge elephant in the room is Collective Minds. I can't help feeling a bit depressed everytime I think about them. Unless we address this waste of time, we will not rebound from our predicament.
