Freo now has the worst %age in the AFL with 73.8, less than that of Brisbane (75%).

Absolute rabble, probably the worst 14th placed team going around


And despite all the talk about Carlton being such a low scoring side, Freo have scored less this season, even with two more wins than Carlton.
 
Looks like we're not the only team that gets rolled by unknowns. Although basically the whole of the Richmond football club had a day out against Freo Jacob Townsend was the one who finally broke through with 6.1. He started with the Giants and was recruited through zoning concessions. He played a gew games for them but never really did much and was traded to Richmond at the end of 2015. He played 4 games in 2016 and this was his first game in 2017.

I hope our club does a please explain to the umpire boss. Last week Gawn and this week Ryder with ridiculois frees against just for being good rucks? They will take away the advantage of having a good ruck ffs.
But the AFL always has answers. Stupid answers but what can you do after they have said their bit? They're like a little kid who says it's on the TV so it must be true. Except with them it's I've said it so it must be true.
 
I guess we're relying on the Saints to beat Richmond next weekend. I wouldn't write the Saints off - they might make finals if they win.

Trouble is tet will know if they can or not when they play the Tigers.

Knowing your season is over and there is no chance of making it might deflate them.

Ide pencil the saints in though if they could make it with a win.
 
Freo are putrid. I would actually rather be a Carlton GC or Bris fan. I reckon they will still get worse before they get any better.

Fyfe must be regretting the re-signing. With that % boost for Richmond, coupled with a Geelong win over GWS tigers can get to third and take on Geelong at the MCG rather than the Crows here....

Looks like we will host Essendon here week 1. Win that and play probably GWS or Richmond (who will likely lose to Crows)....... Better off staying away from Sydney and Adelaide in the finals...

i reckon can go both ways thought. Last game, nothing to lose, send out Riewoldt on a high.

I think Richmond will win comfortably either way.

"None of you have got any balls..."
 
So what has to happen to get two home finals for us?

Richmond lose, we win by more than Sydney

OR

Richmond win, we win by more than Sydney, and Adelaide lose the first week :D

I think Richmond are about the only one the crows can't get now. if they win they will overtake the loser of gws/geelong, and if they lose they will be overtaken by at least one of port/sydney.
 
Any chance of a Freo boil over today?

Last game at Subiaco for them.

We all would love a lolrichmond moment.

155-51

Freo...

We only have ourselves to blame for relying on substandard outfits like Freo beating top 4 contenders. We had the chance against West Coast and then Richmond at AO and failed. As the man said if we finish 5th or 6th we will have 'got what we deserved'.

God, Freo must be the worst side in the competition atm. Even Brisbane and Gold Coast made a game of it and Carlton won in this round.

We still have the Saints...
 
So are the Crows reserves out of finals? How do they keep their top up players match ready for AFL games then?


They can still make it if all these things happen: they beat Souf (plausible); WWT beat Central (plausible); and Westies beat Gnewg (you wouldn't think so, but the Bays got rolled by the Chooks this week).

If the SNAFL side doesn't make it though, the league boys will have to play with themselves.
 
Hmm. You'd have to define 'better' to make that argument. You could say it'd be fairer. But the incentive to put on a big score would be reduced.

For instance, the motivation for Port and Sydney to put on a big score next week wouldn't be as compelling.

It wouldn't be as compelling but based on our win against them we'd be above and the question is would that be fairer and just? It rules out all of the imbalances of the fixture we have.
