Opinion Non-Crows AFL 5: Save Ken

[Dirty Bird]

FFS Foxtel

Last week the only microphone you had at Adelaide Oval was in the Saints cheersquad

Now this week the only microphone you have at the MCG is at the Fremantle cheersquad - Makes it sound like there isn't a Melbourne fan in the building and it's a pro-Freo crowd.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Freo!

It sounds like the canned crowd noise from the Covid seasons

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Freo would be a contender if they were even half-competent in the wet.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Freo would be a contender if they were even half-competent in the wet.

Not usually wet in finals.

Playing an exciting brand of football & good to see the Dees knocked off... (surely).

 

[MatthewB]

Mitch Georgie boy dropped from the pear. That’s a surprise, thought he was their best forward

isn't Charlie their best forward

 

[morris086]

Strong Freo chant going around the MCG, 13k against the roos at etihad last week and now drowned out by the wharfies, surely the Dees fans haven't hit the slopes already?

 

[PCORF]

Dee's first loss.

Flagmantle yay!

 

[latinoheat]

Razz injured again

 

[latinoheat]

I really haven’t followed freo too closely. When did they become good? And they’ve lost Cera

And I see Will Brodie

And I see Will Brodie got 28 possessions. They picked him up for a packet of chips didn’t they ? From memory the Suns chucked in pick 19 as well! Yes

Brodie was an astute bargain pick-up... but they have been slowly rebuilding their list for a while now & have a coach having them playing an exciting brand of football.

Wow, didn't realise the deal was that good!

Far better than Carlton taking GWS leftovers for salary dumps.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Given we have cap space, we should be open to any deals like this.

 

[Sanders]

Freo’s rebuild started the same time as ours, arguably after in fact

 

[MarcusP2]

Given we have cap space, we should be open to any deals like this.

Given the salary floor, wouldn't available space be highly dependent on players OOC?

3 top 10 picks in 2019 .
2 top 10 picks in 2021
2 top 5 picks in 2017

They nailed their picks in 2016 whereas most of ours are now delisted

They got those extra picks because players left. We didn’t lack for picks, we just blew them.

Anyway, they sacked Lyon in 2019 and we sacked Pyke in 2019; and began concerted efforts to rebuild

Freo looks a tight, balanced and well coached team

Do we?

Id say at this point their drafting looks better than ours.
Longmuir was highly rated , I remember reading somewhere that Walsh wanted him as part of his coaching group.
I haven’t seen them play this year, but they must be doing something right.

It's good that they are competitive, I thought with King going down they'd be hopeless but they proved me wrong.

 

[ams4crows]

Bulldogs beat West Coast by 101 points!! We'll be lucky to beat West Coast by 10 points next week.

 

[Sanders]

West coast are out tanking North.

Love their commitment!
