Review JLT2: Freo vs Eagles

[Freo Big Fella]

You don't want to draw two many conclusions from pre season form, but there's a huge amount to like about how we've progressed over the three games; particularly compared to our last couple of pre-seasons.

Dunno if it is just me but I quite liked Leigh Montagna in commentary. Him along with Huddo as the 2 main callers would be great to listen to.

 

[Taylor]

One thing we were missing during our pressure period of 2012-2015 was transition footy from defense to scoring.

It appears we have that now. Whether we leak goals out the back from turnovers will be the making or breaking of us.

The only thing you can legitimately take from that game is...eagles suck

 

[Lach72]

I’m still quite concerned by how often we turned the ball over considering how substandard the Eagle’s pressure was.

Enjoy it. It think we were quite polished for a pre season game with a heap of nubies

 

[Sweetback]

We’re going to be hard to score against.

 

[FreoBraddles]

100 points babyyyyyy!

 

[Dockernut]

Well I’m chockers. Just went and filled up on some tasty melts on the Weagles board. Nummy nums.

Only worry structure wise is how we operate when Tabs is up the ground/in the ruck and Sandi isn't deep forward.

I thought it worked really well structurally. Taberner's around the ground marking was a feature and was an important part of keeping the game on our terms. As a pinch hitting relief ruck looked a good strategy to me.

The club won't resist the urge to play Darcy though

Liked how we have ready made replacements for Pearce, Johnson, Sandi, Mundy, Sutcliffe, Ballantyne and Spurr and most look quality.

Cerra and Crowden and North could take over from Danyle now. They may lack some puff but they surely couldn’t turn the ball over more

Just got back from the game, let's just say there's worse ways to spend an arvo with Eagles-supporting mates

 

[Okinakashi]

The major negative from today is the realisation that my buddy Cowboy Neale will be stealing Brownlow votes from cleaver...

In two minds about today , on 1 hand as a day dot docker you learn to take your wins when you can and grasp hold of whatever joy you can !

On the other hand pre seasons are a bit like champaign breakfasts a little bit of a buzz is ok but any more and it usually comes back to bite you on the bum and the wedding photos look like a scene from the walking dead

I've had a few so here goes

This is a different Tabs, don't know if the penny has dropped, if he's had an epiphany or just natural development

But his effort today had shades of Riewoldt on it, last JLT game wasn't too shabby either

I know, I know it's pre season

 

[Freomaniac]

As Stated, I wouldn't say this pre season game is the be all and end all.

I enjoyed Alex Pearces run from defence. Tabs took a few grabs too. Ballantyne kicked 3 goals but kicked 3 points too. Wilson looked good too.

 

[PurpleWizard]

Only watched bits and pieces.

Great see to see Tucker find a bit if the footy. Also good to see Langdon step up on the wing with Hill out.

Always been a fan of Tab's potential and looks strong and hopefully this is his year. Looks best deep!

Great structure from what I saw. I don't remember any passage where we didn't have a player to kick to up the field.

Yeah I think once again the club can take a bow on its development of a player.
Tabs has improved his skills,most noticeably got his hands right,body work in contested situations is completely transformed,field kicking,decision making,team work...all the things he's been required to work on have improved massively.
All credit to his hard work and application to the task,we've got a player.
Incremental improvement season after season and now the hard work and learnings generate a quantum leap.
We've got a player and he's not the same one as before.

Great analogy!

 

[Carnthedockers]

Where is that West Coast bell end that came on here gloating that they were gonna smoke us with a full team this week?

 

[fnerd]

Bugger. Was hoping he was Tom Lamb v2

Yeah so was I but he does show a bit(note a bit, not a lot, yet)

Didn't I just say that

 

[DaveLister]

Moose had an excellent game all round.
Has electric reactions for a bigfella.
All the skills, a magnificent physical specimen and ferocious at the contest.
An absolute fuquen beauty.

His agility is beyond human capability for a man that tall
