Autopsy Positives and Negatives vs Fremantle

[CM9000]

Positives:
+ Darling's coming back in force.
+ JK got through unscathed and played well.
+ Hurn had a fantastic game.
+ Mitchell played well
+ Liam Duggan is the GOAT
+ Nelson played well
+ LeCras played well
+ Sheppard was impressive
+ Gov was a bit hot and cold, but overall, I thought he had a good game.
+ We won without Cole (proof we play better without him, Godfather32)
+ Redden played fantastically for an emergency
+ Sheed was pretty good.
+ Vardy played well.
+ An awful scrappy affair for the first 2 and a half quarters, but we turned it on in the end.

Negatives:
- Priddis, while he was alright, still needs to be dropped IMO.
- Our midfield is one selection away from making us a top 4 team, the MC just needs to realise this.
- We played pretty awful today for a majority of the game.

How did you leave out Masten?

 

[Biggie]

Positive

5 wins in a row against the Purple flogs.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Nelson played well

 

[FKASC]

Duggan and return to marking form to Darling basically the only major positives I can see from the game

 

[Godfather32]

Positives:

+ We won without Cole (proof we play better without him, Godfather32)

Ahh but with Cole in the team we would have actually looked good while winning instead of a rabble

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Hey, I know he only had 16 touches in the end, but Jetta continues to impress me with his running to get into positions to get the ball (his timing was just a bit off today) and his pressure acts are great to see. Love this guy!

Hurn playing his first captains game in a few years?

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

So, that happened...

 

[La Dolce Vita]

regulation win
freo are bog ordinary..just because your young does not make you good
freo were successful in dragging the game down to their woeful level
liked Schofields game
great to see freo supporters leave in their droves before the game ended

 

[FKASC]

Hurn playing his first captains game in a few years?

Yeah Hurn was great, but it was a once in a blue moon game from him, and he doesn't make any difference to our long term prospects.

There were some good performances but I wanna list positives for the future.

 

[WCErevival]

Don't know about Nelson playing well. Thought he was one of our worst.

 

[Crimson King]

Good to see all dem hip thrusts are working for Duggan. Was in total beast mode today.

 

[nameless]

Duggan's best game for us.

Today he recorded his highest ever:

Disposals
Kicks
Handballs
Marks
Contested Possessions
Effective Disposals

Hurn was very good
Darling can mark!
JK back
Redden was good, always a bit tougher being a late call up
Gov should never leave the backline

Everything else was a bit meh
A pretty unconvincing win and I didn't see a great deal of improvement from last week, just lucky they couldn't kick.

Positives:

No one won that game

Actually, we won that game. By 30 points, n00b.

- Salinity is a major issue affecting our farmers.

Even so, we now know that Duggan >>>>> Cole.

 

[Bluey_McKenna]

Don't know about Nelson playing well. Thought he was one of our worst.

Tends to fall over too often

 

[QL 21]

Positives
+ Duggan a beast in the backline. 31 touches
+ Redden coming in as an emergency and picking up 29 touches. Good composure and field kicking
+ Sheed another good game in the middle
+ Hurn BOG
+ Kennedy is back!

Negatives
- Masten was horrible
- Sloppy skills and poor composure

 

[lewigie]

Thank the **** i was at the pub and half cut while watching this game. What an appalling spectacle from both teams, I almost feel sorry for the 70 year old WC members who had to endure it

If you say so mate, not particularly mad about it beyond nick suban's existence, thought it was shit enough on both sides that neither team could take much out of it. Especially for a team ostensibly pushing for a flag.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Half back line saved us. Lost the battle in the midfield and the supply to the forwards was ordinary. Duggan and Hurn were great. Redden did well. Rest of the mids were average. For a team supposedly in the premiership window at least in terms of age we are very average. Luckily Freo are just a basket case at the moment. They are turnover merchants who will be lucky to win many games this year.

 

[Boohemian]

+ Hopefully we don't have to see a set of inflatable dick and balls perched on top of the new stadium.

are they blaming the umpires yet or is that just on a constant loop..?

 

[Godfather32]

Even so, we now know that Duggan >>>>> Cole.

In all seriousness I'm very happy that Duggan has started playing well. What I'd like to see is Nelson go into the middle and Cole into the backline. Or else play Cole on the wing, I think he'd do pretty well in that role if his fitness is up to it.

Can I report you for posting on our board? Isn't that generally what happens on yours? #confuzzled #wontreportyoubro
