While I agree with most of this, the losses at the selection table have been incredibly disappointing, the point blank refusal to play Reidy when Darcy is unavailable or should have been unavailable is inexcusable. Plus the refusal to play Brodie (even as Sub) is also inexcusable. He offers way more coming on for a quarter than Aish, Ras or Worner. It’s just dumb that we get overridden in the middle in last quarters when we have a proven AFL level Mid playing in the twos.Everyone needs to relax on JL he’s a good coach and we have results this year that shows we are on the right path.
I know every team has injuries but we have injuries on players we can’t replace
Draper for Pearce is like asking for steak and being given tofu
Darcy being a fat injured lard screws all structure we have because Jackson isn’t a ruck and he isn’t a fwd idek what he is
And then treacy the heart and soul of this team replacing him with Taberner that’s just watching the girl of your dreams hook up with your worst enemy. It’s soul crushing and makes the game so hard
Then youve got blokes coming back from long term injuries in cox. Everyone expects him to be in 2022 form but realistically he’s a slow burn because he’s had 12-14 weeks out
Pre season all media had freo finishing 15th-12th every fan here was like just make finals. It’s been a weird season but we should make finals but now the goal posts have changed for everyone and expect a team to finish as low as they did last year to finish top 4.
The big picture is we’ve had development in some good kids
Clark young Treacy MJ amiss and that’s what this year was about getting the kids to be ready to wins games and push for finals next year is when we start questioning JL
If we don’t push top 4 and a prelim then I’ll be happy to get rid of him but we are young we are building to great things just need to spend the off season practicing on starts and finishes for games it’s all we are lacking right now
Turn 3 of those games we lead at 3qtr time and lost into wins and we are top of the ladder
So again everyone just chill out on JL give it next year when we are supposed to contend and just enjoy the small wins this year and hopefully can win a final because that’s an over achievement from pre season
Once or twice is understandable but we’ve now lost 5 games we’ve lead at 3/4 time, 4 of them when Darcy isn’t playing and we’ve gone with Jackson as lead ruck, all of them with nobody who provided run and drive as the sub.
