Yeah I spat the dummy too. I told my partner I had a bad feeling when Rowe missed that shot. I hate always taking a cynical view and being proven right. Just bet on the club to be a travesty, you'll be a rich man.

How can you bag the composure of McHenry and Rowe? - two guys who consistently found team-mates.
Exactly. And execute when you’re hot and tired
I have no Issue with Rowes output today, he was very good. But the criticism of him holding up play is valid, and yeah he may well hit up a target or find a teammate after holding up play and doing 3 U turns, but whilst he does that he misses players streaming past to move it on quickly, he gives the opposition defence that extra 5 seconds to get structured. It’s a habit he has to work on. Give the first option, not the safe 5th one.
Rachele is a superstar after one game, he's elite and I'm so happy he plays for us.
Rowe was excellent clean all day unfortunately couldn't nail that last shot but he was awesome.
Keays is Hella frustrating he gets the ball soooo much if only he could kick better.
Sholl was great when he came on and proved he should have been in the team to begin with.
When Sloane goes who will be Captain? I saw no leaders out there? We lack leg seed on the midfield and leadership.
Rob may be an athletic beast but he can't kick or handball, complete liability with ball in hand, Strachan needs to be given more of a go.
Berg is done, don't want to see him anywhere near the side ever again, he's piss weak, no intensity or desire to actually get the ball he only competes because he has to. Gollant has to come in he has xfactor all over him.
Soligo went unsighted seriously who's selecting the team when Sholl come on as sub and is the 4rh highest possession getter. Cook should have also been in the side and poor Wayne needed a few games in the two's to get back into it.

McHenry's disposal toward inside 50 is totally different when he is close to goal.

Thanks for your input now kindly piss off...
Can't argue with that. That third quarter was very one sided. The standard of umpiring across the board is awful.

Yep, some selection integrity would help. Berg has never demanded his spot and has been selected due to being the next inline tall forward.
Not really sure what else Gollant has to do? Has mongrel too, which we need
Agreed. Rowey has a football brain and you can see he’s trying to work out the best option - but at this level he doesn’t have the same amount of time to do that as you do at SANFL level
Is there an AFL rule that says free kick counts need to be equal for both side? We did get a handful of 50/50 calls and you guys a few incorrect calls in the 3rd quarter.
The improvement over last year to me is that I think last year we lose that game badly after half time, GWS game early last season is a good example. Nicks and the players deserve a lot of credit for putting that first half in the bin and regrouping in the 2nd half. The ending sucked, but a lot more positives than negatives out of that game and as I said, I can see the improvement.
I reckon we complained about our pre season umpiring treatment. Then they over compensated today as a result. Now the media will blow that up. Then we'll get ripped off for the next 5 games. Pretty sure it panned out similar last year.
We were dominate and first to the ball in the 3rd quarter so a lot of 50/50 calls went our way and I only recall a few incorrect calls went against Fremantle that quarter.
Keays is the most obvious captain for me
The umpire didn't go our way in the 1st half, a few 50/50 went Fremantle way which is expected as we were 2nd to the ball in the 1st half.
Easily his best game at AFL level and would be in the top half dozen on the ground
Looking forward to another mid table finish and yet again nothing to add to the trophy cabinet after 27 years?
