How big the fallout for The Loser of Crows v Dockers at Metricon ?

[Freomaniac]

Freo have been one of the best coached and most consistent sides to start the season. They just haven't had the talent to win games. They get Sturt back and can move Lobb forward but lose Fyfe.

The thing is with the way Freo are playing they're kind of more likely to upset an average side by being disciplined and harder for longer than they are beating bad sides, who rise up and go all out to beat them.

They should beat Adelaide, but Adelaide are now on the canvas and can get up a throw a few punches if they dig in for a big game.

I can't imagine the fall out would be too bad one way or another as long as it's not a blow out. Freo fans and the media surely recognise they've been brave and performed well without winning. Adelaide have reached past the crumbling stage of an early rebuild and straight to apathy.

I agree with your post. Again..... Freo have been competitive. Just havent got the results.

Neutral venue, we creamed you. I have no doubt we'd have won in Perth atm.

Very debatable that Port was certain to beat Freo in Perth in 2020 if the past few years is anything to go by.

2016: Freo beat Port in Perth by 16 points despite being 0-10 and crippled with injury.

2018: Beat your mob 8.11.59 to 7.8.50 despite a crappy forward line. Freo should of won by more.

2019: Season was on the line and Freo beat Port 100-79 with an excellent final quarter. You could of had Tim Evans Beard or Scott Hodges mullet in Ports goal square in the final quarter, it wasnt going to make a difference.

That's a very lopsided way to look at the results

And 2020 Port is better.

On current form, Port Is Better than freo.

But Freo would easily be in the top 8 had they won their narrow games.

Been pretty impressed with freo tbh. Think longmuir is going to be a good fit long term. Got some really good young players and have been competitive against some good teams.

They probably pinch a game or two with hamling and Pearce playing. Young looks a great player as well

As a crows supporter happy to take the spoon and 1st pick

The fall out is massive if we win will miss out on that pick

The fallout would probably be worse for Fremantle than it would be for Adelaide.

Despite both being 0-4, Fremantle have played better and would have higher expectations. Adelaide are a dumpster fire.

I don't see the issue at all to be honest. Both have new coaches and are rebuilding. While Adelaide have been poor, I have no doubt that they will improve as the season progresses. Fremantle have been competitive in every game that they have played.

Well Glad freo got the win today. Going to to be a weird game on Saturday Arvo. For the 1st time since 2006, neither freo or the saints will have ross lyon as coach or will be using Ross Lyon tactics. lol

Freo with a tiny bit of luck are 3-2 and are going to be frothed about. They have some outstanding young players, and again, It took Mundy/Walters to step up to lead the younger guys to victory, but its gonna take more then a season to fix some of their skill issues

Adelaide just need to blood/put in some new talent

Was a good win today. It was nice to see Longmuir get his first win.

I'm looking forward to next week! It's usually a close game. Do you reckon Fyfe will be fit?

He'll maybe be fit for the Derby. St Kilda will be facing the scary proposition of Fyfeless Freo.
