Review Rd 15 Review - Freo Get Back on Track Over the Dons

[Flour bag punter]

Brandon walker average once again

That’s a surprising take on the game? I thought the backline was impenetrable and he played a key role. Look at how he closes space and chokes up the field.

 

[SHill Shall]

Treacy has reverted back to early season form. Missed his very gettable set shots and was dropping uncontested marks. I’m keen to see him keep developing and he has a few more leave passes to use yet, but Kuek is beginning to apply pressure on him for his spot.

 

[Ysaye]

Was a fun game to watch, possibly because Essendon were trying to go on the offensive as much as possible meaning we had lots of space to also move offensively. As JLo said, we shouldn't expect the Western Bulldogs or Carlton to play the same.

The most depressing thing to think about after that game is how wide the gap is between Freo with Darcy versus Freo without Darcy. I think after that game I want to check in on Knobel's development because I honestly think we need to be able to fill the main ruck position so that Jackson can continue to be a handful everywhere else.

I thought it was interesting that both Erasmus and Johnson played a lot of outside midfield time this games and at one point both lined up on either wing when Henry was having a break. JLo said that Johnson also was spending more time forward with O'Meara back in the lineup and was basically filling gaps, which is what I thought he might be best suited to at the start of the year, so good that they are really backing him in. JLo also talked about how midfield tackles and pressure are really important to the side; I know Erasmus will probably go out for Aish but I can't help but wonder if we are not much better in that regards to have Erasmus in the side?

Speaking of pressure, the difference in Swita this week versus last week was also noticeable chalk and cheese watching - I wonder what that is all about?

I’m in Mexico and haven’t watched it but just from the reading the comments it sounded like the forward line worked particularly well again with Jacko/Amiss/Treacy. A forward line is the sum of its parts.
He stays in.

A win, Henry coming good and WC losing by 171. Best day of the year so far.

The West will report that WA lost by a collective 139. Dark day for West Australian football.

Nah Kuek is still very far away. Treacy will impact a game even if he has like 5 touches just because of his physicality

 

[go_the_dockers]

Martin hardly got within 50 metres of him though except when they lined up after a goal on the wing. Henry was left on many occasions to run around on his own with absolutely no respect of anyone to play on him.

Who won the battle?

I wonder if Henry's game would be viewed differently by coaches and players.

A bit like Brodie getting 30 possies, then getting dropped.

 

[DocT]

Don't forget we get Aish back, and he is HUGE for us

Agreed. Who goes out for Aish?

 

[DocT]

HELP ME PLEASE.

Great game.

BUT

At c5mins in it was:
2:2 to 0:1
10 marks to 0
Dons had loose men everywhere

ie we were playing EXACTLY like we did the previous 2 weeks.

Then we all know what happened next.

What the flip changed? If we can work that out and tell JL we will win the premiership this year!

In the first 5 mins we had 1 kick and 7 handballs.

We were getting our hands on the footy but turning it over 3 metres away and the Bombers punished us. Our handball game is a huge weakness at times.

Kuek is nowhere near it. Even JL said that the other day and he normally never makes statements like that about players, usually just sits in the fence.

We got our ground ball and pressure game up and running and became much harder to play against.

 

[rgauci]

Anyone got the Herald Sun’s top 100 paid athletes? I’d love to know who at Fremantle is paid well.

 

[sansian]

1st question from Hame about the Eags to Fyfe and Brayshaw Wtf

What was the question?

 

[Scatter]

Does anyone know who was the random in the circle for the team song? Got a lot of love, was it the body magic guy a lot of them use out of season maybe??

 

[ImperialPurple]

What was the question?

Some rambling rubbish about it must feel good after what happened to the eagles, then he tried to cover it up with more babbling. Meanwhile Fyfe and Brayshaw are just standing looking at him giving him nothing.

 

[Quiexo]

Was in the plane to Bali during the game, great to see the result when I checked the result upon landing!

Question - I know we haven’t won many first quarters (2 out of our last 18?), but how many games have we actually kicked the first goal of the game? Can’t seem to remember one in recent memory…

Our last home game against Richmond for one.

 

[mayne iac]

Thought Erasmus was pretty good

 

[hoss]

Johnson great
Henry best game for the club by far
Shultz still out of form
Fyfe has some great moments mixed with bad

I actually thought Schultz was really good and with Switta important in changing the game. Created some goals with pure mongrel. Six tackles. Not saying Freddy, Sonny, Treacy did much wrong but they did less than Shoota. Even Jye was quiet in the second half.

Treacy looked like he was trying to bring the ball to ground more often than marking it, but a couple of times he should have just marked it

Thanks for that! Was away for a camping trip then too..like all of us, would dearly love it if we started with more intent..

No, he's already been praised by all, coaches and players. It was a genuinely great game

he finally got to play a game where our midfield wasn’t getting completely reamed and came out looking better for it
