Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2023

Love how Kennedy retires, and Waterman steps up and Allen is fit.
Meanwhile Tabs goes, we’re left with **** all.
Bell wants to make a good culture and pushes out Hogan. This club

So fellow unlucky victims of this crap club where does this week rank in the “ s**t week to be a Freo fan “ list of 1500+ weeks of this long running comedy

Top 10 ?

Top 5 ?

I feel it's just best to ignore all weeks from March until December.

The third week of January was very good for us this year.

 

[Purple Jesus]

I can’t think of a worse time to be a Freo supporter, given all of the context.

top 5 for me - due to the expectation on the season and expecting a response and improvement on last week.

Is Henry going to be as good as SPS? Both aren't super quick. Both have 35-45 max kicking range. SPS a bit more willing to put his body into things - but he is older.

Look at Kingsley in the box fired up!!!

Good to see. Passion and drive.

Must be nice when teams don't incessantly flood your foward 50

SPS running around with hair that makes him look like a prize poodle

Agree - having said that if we continue to show no ability to beat that game plan teams will continue to go to it.

Haha it was the hair that made me think of Henry. Henry's is shorter and better but then I thought of them as players and they seem quite similar.

Yes. Run n Gun. Get the pill in there quicker to give our ave Fwds a chance. That should be the directive.

Currently we just go slower when we see the flood. Genius level coaching.

Yeah we switch it hoping for an opening. There is usually an opening 70 meters from goal, but i50 is flooded as anything.

Back in Clark, Freddy, Noddy and Walkers speed and carry to break the lines.

So this round I tipped everyone who I wanted to lose. Because you know. At least when they win I get my tipping right. I'm 9/9. Worst round I can remember.

Really don’t see anything special with west coast other then fast movement. GWS are awful. Fremantle won’t allow this sort of defence.

No we won't allow it. But on form we won't win if they can kick more than 50 pts. Flip of the coin imo. Preseason I thought we should win by 30-40 pts. Now...

Mate, did you watch us last night? We allowed an absolutely trash midfield group from Norf waltz it into our fwd line again and again. Weags will beat us by 6 goals.

What's good for them is they'll be coming in off a thumping win and playing with the freedom of nothing to lose. We'll be nervous and playing with the weight of the world on our shoulders.
The crowd will have a role to play here. If the team starts like shit and the crowd gets down on them we'll be in for a long miserable night

The trade period ranks worse IMHO.

 

[PeopleEater]

Our backline is going to get a workout next week

LDU, Simpkin and Cunnington isn't a trash midfield, it's actually a damn good midfield.

LDU is fast becoming one of the best mids in the comp

Cunnington is finished and Simpkin is very average, damn good is an overestimate

Sheezel also a handy addition.
