Nah Darcy was all over Grundy. A big part why we couldn't win the stoppages and Freo kept getting first to the ball

But it's true it was shown on 1 of the shows and i was saying it at the time , he only had to get in front once , but got done by a rookie
just 1 . But then i remember Errol on the run in the 1st missing what he normally gets , just a shit day

Weirdly even though his attempt at goal was laughable, thought Adams was one of the better mids. He wasn't the one letting Serong off the chain early.

Adams had like 19 touches 4 marks 6 tackles and used the ball at 63% which isn't that bad for a half-forward on baller. He just had a stock standard game that i would expect from him it was just our main bull mids couldn't get their hands on it in the first half. Our backman couldn't get their hands on the footy either and we disposed of it well below what we average. If your putting the blame on one particular player i think its just a cop out because it was a team fault just due to a lack of two way running that we lauded the team for in previous weeks
Bad kicking is bad football etc.
But the Dockers had an unusually good day in front of the sticks (and, funnily enough, we actually weren’t that inaccurate)
Probably explains why the loss didn’t feel “that” bad.

Not much to say. They came to play, and wanted it more. And they beat us in the middle.
We got some game time and confidence into Campbell and McLean.
Heeney looks banged up. A rest against North wouldn't hurt.

No saints preview?
Pretty much why I am not really upset about it. People go on about how we need our main 3 to fire and they didn't kick a goal. But they didn't kick a goal and we still scored 98 which wins most games this year.
I can accept this one a lot more than I can accept the Richmond one

I think end of the year this loss looks ok, Freo are a decent team.
Young side on the weekend , a season building win. Not good enough for Robbos column, rather talk Essendon.

We're flying this year .... but when we lose, being "a young side" is no longer a viable excuse.
Freo were younger than us on the weekend.

We let Fremantle(!!) kick 9.5 in a half of footy.
That is putrid by any measure.
Freo have their strengths for sure, but heavy-scoring barrages are not one of them.
And for all the talk about how our midfield had their colours lowered at stoppages, the overwhelming majority of Freo's scores came from defensive transition, not from stoppages, which shows it's a work rate thing for us.
We just couldn't be arsed doing anything that required us getting out of second gear. Running, tackling, general competing.
That makes it a terrible loss IMO. But one we needed to get out of our system.

Hopefully now, two days after the fact, Garry Lyon has finally been able to wrap his head around the fact that Nat Fyfe, who once won two Brownlows but is now old and closer to average than he is elite, did a tagging job.
Absurd commentary. You'd think peak Dusty had been sent to Heeney.

Freo were the young side not us.
I meant Fremantle had this great win and no one gave a ****, they don't care about being able to knock us off and they don't care Freo did it.
Both sides disrespected a bit

In a weird way it’s the loss we needed. For a good 6+ weeks we have got away with playing utterly rubbish for a quarter and then getting away with it on class
We won’t be that fortunate in a final where going down by 20 plus never works

Oh I'm totally on board the good vibes train, but ironically for the opposite reason to you. I don't rate Freo, so I'm not that concerned about a loss to them. If it was against Carlton, maybe there'd be a slither of doubt creeping in.That's true , But I think you have to give Freo some credit , or Maybe I am just looking for the sunshine misery guts, geez
No shame in losing to Flagmantle by a pointThat's true , But I think you have to give Freo some credit , or Maybe I am just looking for the sunshine misery guts, geez
Jye Amiss has had the yips this year with a 46% scoring accuracy this season (he is elite in behinds). He kicked 3 straight against us. Some days players just make the most of their chances.

Sport is fascinating we played them only 6 weeks ago.
We all felt the game was closer than the scoreboard suggested and voila
FREMANTLE 1.5 1.8 2.13 4.15 (39)
SYDNEY 3.0 9.0 11.2 13.9 (87)
