Might allow us to see a bit more of how we go in dry conditions

Mate, it won't be WCE going in dry...

 

[Shuestar13]

So the good news it’s just the pre season guys…


The bad news is we have only kicked 3 goals in 3 quarters on our home training ground..

But it’s just pre season

Amiright?

I don’t think we’ll make the finals based on this

 

[Cuzz09]

Same issues as last year. Lose ground ball and can’t transition, essentially uncompetitive.

I thought a more competitive midfield was going to help with getting it fwd and locking it in

Anyone looking where they kick?

 

[Dale Doback]

The hack kicks to no one, the 3/4 efforts in chasing and tackling, the lack of intensity. Nothing's changed.

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

lol. This is a touch comical

 

[Astro7]

I'm struggling to see any structure and game plan here. It's like they have no idea where to run or position themselves for the next play.

Same here...even in the first half, not much that stood out as improvement, no distinct style of play...early days but would like to see more cohesion or dare I say 'synergy'?

 

[garlic munchers]

I remember when we got pumped by Fremantle in 2018 and we finished bottom that year.

and interest rates were 2%, my daughter was at school (now graduated from Uni), we played finals the year before, Scott Morrison was popular………

Yeo showed up

Yeo showing us what he's capable of.

Seems as if much of the training has gone into attacking from defence at the expense of actual defending in defence.

Too many times lead-up space for Fremantle players wasn't closed down that resulted in easy goals.


Flagging during that quarter compared to the opponents again - surely fitness isn't going to raise it's head again?

Seeing Dockers running free in a line of five through the centre square in the 3rd quarter suggests otherwise.


And for the life of me, every time we've gone into traffic it has been coughed up.

Is the club even doing in-tight drills? Certainly not enough from the looks of it.

 

[illegaleagle]

About time Yeo did something

 

[Barrybran]

Dafuq are you doing there Tom? Body him up FFS.

 

[Bender_]

I don't think Barrass could've been in a better position to spoil that.

 

[Yeahnahmate]

We do this in pre-season games. This won’t be us. I can confidently say we’ll be a bit better than this or far worse lol

 

[Coasters7]

The carry on from these Freo blokes is classic. It’s match sim boys.. not even an official preseason game lmao

 

[Frederico_WA]

Too easy transition end to end. Boys all on the wrong side of their players

 

[Shuestar13]

It’s pre season, so who cares … BUT … there was a passage in the first quarter where Freo centred the ball into the middle of the ground and Reid was the closest player and if he’d just been playing footy would have got the turnover and away we go but instead he wasn’t watching the ball and was sprinting back to shadow his man who was running forward.

That’s Simmo. All day every day. Coach out flare and offence and focus on reactive defending.

We’ve played without dare and dash all game.

It’s pre season, it doesn’t matter. But the coaching and system remain a concern.

This is the biggest concern, the same patterns that have been hallmarks over the past few years have been on show again.

Saying this in case I get claimed to be a Simpson/Club apologist, but without a clear improvement in terms of game plan, general competitiveness etc. he should be moving on. Willing to see how the early rounds unfold for now…

 

[Cuzz09]

If we attack out of defence more and it results in us scoring more but still losing then I don't mind.

I'd rather lose 200 to 100 than 130 to 30

When’s Simmo gonna develop a Legitimate game plan, havent seen one since 2019

 

[bzparkes]

Can't remember the last time we didn't get smashed in a pre-season game, tbh.

Used to suck at them back when we had Cousins, Kerr and Judd running around.

Who cares?

good 'ol Hunt. Still proving to be a great pickup.
