The fact we lost to Freo makes no difference to me, it's how we lose, we have shown time and time again this year when the other team turns up the heat early we crumble.

Nothing really to hope for, just like a beer straight out of the box.
Lukewarm, not really appetizing, mildly disappointing and should be good but it's not.

We signed Simmo before the new rule came into effect so we'll have to pay him out three more years if we get rid of him instead of just the 1. What a club.
We will look like a much better team when we are fit (not talking about injuries, they don't help, but we are clearly unfit and once again today showed late when we had momentum we lacked fitness).
Hopefully TK is OK (for preseason). Thankfully (I guess) the year we are finally forced to take a 1st rounder we'll have our highest in a while.
We showed again that we CAN dial up the pressure, it is just the picking and choosing when to that is killing us (still, after 3 years).
Even without JK (if he chooses to retire) our fwd line is so dangerous (and add Willie). If 2022 isn't the year of move it fast at all costs for wc then lessons have not been learnt.

Can someone tell me other than Redden and Yeo and NN who can tackle consistently?
Basic football and we've had this issue since 2019: when will it change? Honestly, I used to smash people full on back in the day, I could do a way better job than their coach - I'd put money on that.

Not gonna happen, but it will be absolutely depressing if we somehow end up beating Brisbane next week...

We're going to finish 9th anyway so we might as well win.

Positives
-Cole was really good and tried to provide backline drive
-Witherdens kicks didn't always come off but he at least took the game on
-Shuey after a quiet start worked his way into the game
-Naitanui was immense in the middle
Negatives
-Vardy is a waste of a list space
-Midfield is too unbalanced, need a Hutchings/Stenglein type in there who will sacrifice their game for others
-Redden defensively had an absolute 'mare

You make me laugh. There is nothing positive about this game. we got beaten by a term missing lobe, Fyfe, Brayshaw, Walters in Perth. You are one delusional fan to somehow look at the glass half full. NIc nat was also just average, relax with overhyping him. Darcy held his own very well against him. He looks overweight anyway.
Unmotivated first quarter - this is 100% the players.
Very poor skills for the last three quarters.
A list that includes a few who are not up to AFL standard.
When simmo arrived he said our problem is the midfield - only kelly has been added. Shuet=y is an unfit A grade - the thers B and C grade.
Forwards have been badly beaten fo most of the season. No movement most of the time and no pressure. JK is now over the hill - time to move on and develop Allen.
The WAFL has absolutely nothing to help.
Coach ok - assistants are justr boot studders with a different role. Clearly we are not fit, many players carrying belly fat and it is the end of the season. Poor staff an unprofessional players. Move them on.
The club focuses on everythingunder the sun - just focus on winning footy.

Vardy actually had a red hot go. He just doesn’t take any marks and that makes him a liability as he doesn’t do a hell of a lot in the ruck either. It seems he just isn’t up to it any more
Feel like we gotta rip the bandaid off now and see most of them off in the offseason. Hurn's a great but has def lost a step, Kennedy is awesome but we keep looking to him as the primary forward (even when better options present) but he cant take the big grabs reliably anymore, Shuey is broken down more often than not, and we need to start a succession plan for NicNat from 2022.

Not everyone is a sad sack like yourself, chill Winston.
You still need to look for positives in bad situations, otherwise you end up a misery guts with no hope

What happened to Kelly? Was he injured? I only saw the second half and I didn’t see him on the ground.

Settle down Nima.
Nothing delusional about saying we were so shocking for our worst stretch that it cost us the game.
Nothing delusional about saying we will rightfully miss finals and need a huge overhaul on the way.
Nothing delusional about saying it’s infuriating that we don’t attack faster until we’re down.
If you want me to apologise for still enjoying watching JK go at it, or liking the games of Cole etc, you’ll be waiting a while. Bad loss. Bad season. Doesn’t mean there’s absolutely zero joy in any moments of it and I have to sit in the dark bawling my eyes out.

delusional to say every game NN is great and has nothing to do with our losses. that is delusional specially for the fact how much you hype him up like we should win half our games with u 16 players if we have in on the side. That is delusional buddy. wake up.
Glad it's all over..was inevitable really.
Sums up the whole season.
Now can look forward to a shake up, whatever is going to happen in the offseason,
and it better be convincing.
End of a cycle, should've got more from this team.
Re-set, re-build, re-enter.
Freo have won their GF, will probably lose next week, as will Ewwgles?
