Only because both Oliver and Petracca were complete passengers (as was Sparrow).
I'm not saying that ruck dominance at centre bounce guarantees you lose, I'm saying we don't need to be allowing any liberties to Rozee et al if we don't have to.

Oliver looked gassed at times, couldn't collect ground ball and influence the game in the slightest. I think the commentators mentioned it was 3 games in 13 days or something. Still, weird game from them, like it was New Year's day and they'd been on the sozzle the night before.
The past month has been pleasantly revealing about what sort of ticker this group has, if we were hoping for a bit of respite, fall back on our brand and pluck an easy 4 points I guess we can forget about it.
Injuries mounting, the pundits are wholly dismissive of our chances, Port have been annointed by Blighty as the flag favourites and the boys can no doubt still taste the bile in the back of their throats after last weeks slip up following similarly dismissive comments about our chances against those bluebagging ****s.
The week in hotel suites hopefully hasn't done us harm though and all the sounds coming out of the club have been promising, god it'd be an almighty effort if we got up though, I know we're on the up but it would firmly announce us as a genuine problem for other teams come the pointy end.
Beers are cold, bring on Saturday.

Oliver has a broken hand/fingers and also had like no preseason and it all shows.
He's barely AFL standard as he's playing now.
I applaud what he has overcome

Getting a bit bored with the constant “the umpires cost us the game” rhetoric.
Find a different shtick.

That seems like a good thing on the surface in that he is pretty average
Then we look at what usually average players can do to us (to spare other long timers I'm not going there)
So this is a good thing again.
Sorry on the wine early this week (Melbourne)

why not?! I'm not a betting man or a tipster, but if I'd have attempted to pick winners from both these played games I'd likely have gone Melbourne and Bulldogs. So...if they're setting a trend, then...who knows. No one's tipped us (hardly surprising), so let's see if it's a round of mostly the 'underdog'. Would be nice to head back to Perth with 4-1 in the kitbag

I mean in general. Every losing team’s board is full of posters blaming umpiring even if they lose by 10 goals. It’s silly
Hey guys, I need some fan advice here.
I was fortunate enough to get about two thirds of the Freo team signatures during the open training last week. Since Freo is only here once this year I wanted to stake out the airport when they leave to get the remaining ones.
Couple of questions:
What is the etiquette here: Do people normally do this? Should it only be done after a win, etc?
Second, from those that have been, what is the best time of day (presumably Sunday) to attend? Is there anyone better to ask, such as the Freo club HQ?

You might give a DM to their insta account a shot. Ask the team or Brett (I think is his name) and they are usually pretty good at helping out.

Coaching, kick ins after behind been killing us for years. Wake up Jlo.
Luke magnificent game. Just need a bit of hard work to give u a kick in option.
Would have been the difference. Bye bye Tabs, Son Son and Ethan (far out!), there comes a tjme.

I give Ryan a lot of shit for his kick ins, but there were a few today where we didn't even make a contest. Lot of it on Jackson and Taberner offering SFA
