No Oppo Supporters General AFL and other clubs discussion thread. **Opposition fans not welcome** Part 7

Wonder how many teeth will be gnashed, articles will be written and tweets twittered this week about the Freo crowd booing Cerra. I reckon I can guess.

Freo looking like a genuine top 8 side here.

It helps when you play 13th 14th 15th and 16th on the ladder

 

[Off The Couch]

I really dislike WCE but they have been hit hard by Covid protocols & injuries

And yet they live in the same state as Freo
Something went very wrong with their protocols

 

[grumbleguts]

someone needs to explain to carlton how tanking actually works.

I know what you mean, but that's like congratulating them for being slightly above average!

 

[theiaofseed]

West coast really look like a WAFL standard side at the moment.

For a club with a fairly decent history and record of success when they go through their down periods they really bottom out big time.....

The once a decade tank

 

[moginie]

It's never a bad day when carlton loses.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Longmuir is a very good coach. He has that squad believing in what he has set up and he isn’t blessed with a lot of super talents either. May not have enough to go all the way but he coaches exceptionally well. He has a great balance between defence and attack

What you talking about? Freo have already played Saints, Blues and Crows

 

[Flukey!]

Freo are looking solid.
I expect they will be top 4-6 this year.

Top 4 is the equivalent to a premiership for them - they'll be ecstatic!

 

[Dewnior]

Voss in the post match claimed Blues had enough opportunities. 38 v 56 inside 50s would suggest not.

 

[SSSSSS]

Schultz would have been a great get.

I agree, he's doing well with what he's got. Without Ross Lyon, Freo learn how to kick goals.

 

[H00t]

Patty Cripps is in some sort of form in his 4 completed games (excluding Gold Coast where he was injured early) he’s had 30 and 3 goals, 35 and 2, 31 and 1, 32 and 3.

I'm only going by what the commentary said last night. Their wins include bombers 16th gws 15th and eagles 18th. Crows were 13th before that win against the dogs.

Freo are building nicely. Had a lot of elite young talent not on park last night - young, Chapman, Henry, amiss, Erasmus, Johnson which will push them forward over next few years. Seem to have most parts of the ground reasonably well covered - prob just need an elite key forward.
Plus will get Fyfe back mid season.

It was more their general endeavour that made think they'll play finals. The tackling and pressure is especially what impressed me.

Freo's back six is super impressive- getting a fit Alex Pearce on the park has been enormous for them. They'll win at least one final imo, it's a really strong brand of footy. They don't carry anyone

 

[Bugs1977]

Mate I stopped playing senior footy almost 30 yrs ago.
Every team/club was doing it before I started playing senior footy.
I don’t see what the issue is.

The other sly thing that used to be done and I'm still is was to have wipe a little Dencorub or lineament from your legs into the oppos face / eyes. Can't remember how many times I had this happen to me… oh and me doing it myself. By accident of coarse

 

[grumbleguts]

Geelong tax in full effect.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Geelong should be up by 5 goals already.

This has a 15 goal belting written all over it.

 

[TylerDurden]

North just look that far off it.
They're gonna get Wardlaw this year too.

 

[Pessimistic]

Clear arm chop by Hawkins. North need some acting lessons

North quite spirited. Maybe thinking cats are often flat after Easter Monday

 

[RobHawk]

They teach them young to milk free kicks and dive at the cats.Oliver Dempsey in the first quarter of his first game has done it twice.
