Game Day Rd 17 - Freo vs Carlton @ Optus

[Randomizor]

This is west coast level s**t.

It’s very similar score to their game against Brisbane. But that was a top 3 side. We are actually worse right now…

Feel bad for Worner ! What a game to debut in.

Frederick is a show pony, does a couple of good things one week and then disappears for about a month.

Sorry, apart from 7 tackles Banfield did nothing yesterday. If you are looking at Peel yesterday then all of Sturt, NOD, Colyer, Wilson and Wagner would be well ahead of Banfield, and arguably even the MSD rookie Stanley could be called up given how well he played. If Banfield is recalled after that effort in Peel, and none of the others listed are, it confirms once and for all the obsessive favouritism entrenched in Freo selection since mid last season.



See above. Plenty to bring in to give underperforming players a spell, although I'd argue young MJ is hardly first on the list to be dropped. He needs more games and better coaching, not dropping.

I watched Peel and none of them were AFL ready

 

[Randomizor]

That looks painful

 

[poshman]

On form we might lose to wce

 

[StingBitten]

I'm not too bothered by the midfield but this defensive structure is disgusting, these are hardened and experienced players. Rudderless and leaderless, A Pearce is not a captain's arseh*le.

And Cox should've gone back to Adelaide so we could've kept Logue. At least he had some mongrel.

 

[gaskin]

JOM trying to play Fyfes forward/mid role is disgusting

No more disgusting than Fyfe.

 

[Freomaniac]

Oi, how much money you gonna win?

I put $50 on the blues at $2.

Crazy to think Carlton were $2.60 on Monday

Why are we wearing the grossly ugly warm up shirts?

 

[King Tenz]

Hold up. If JL subs out Johnson then he should be fired, immediately.

 

[Joao]

Pies at the G is going to be fun.

 

[FreoGirl]

Nobody is forcing ANY of you to support Fremantle

 

[noise36]

Looks like we move to bottom 4 after today?

 

[King Tenz]

Pies at the G is going to be fun.

What a perfect time to get them. That game should be the end of Justin Longmuir, actually looking forward to it now.

 

[vidwhal]

Worner time!!

My man.

 

[FreoGirl]

This umpiring is…interesting

It won't be, he won't get sacked this year.

Maybe if the Eagles did us by 10 goals.

 

[noise36]

Amiss dragged to the ground over his shoulder wtf!!!??

Umpires taking the piss at this point.

 

[Dockeroo]

Look...

Yeah, we shouldn't be this shite, but we're still too young and immature to be flag contenders. Our admin overstretched on stating the ambition timeline.

The players need time to harden their bods. Carlton's big mids are just exacerbating the obvious.

No one needs to be sacked.

Who said anything about flag contenders?
We are going to finish 15th. Bottom 4.
There will be 14 better teams than us in an 18 team league with two of the worst sides of all time in it (one of which beat us).
It’s an abomination of a season and calling it anything else would be deluded

Imagine gloating about winning $50. I wipe my arse with $50.

I used to think the whole "accepting mediocrity" noise was mostly just business speak and succesful club supporter w***ery. Between this and "I'd like to see us make finals" I'm starting to think they might be right*


(*I don't really. It is all self congratulatory bullshit to make people believe they are passively, in part, responsible for the success of their football club despite having no influence whatsoever but it is hand/responsibility waving nonsense like these posts that are aggravating and ones we really, truly hope aren't pervasive inside the club lest it truly be anchored to mediocrity)

 

[Randomizor]

So which of our players is watching Carlton today thinking they want a trade? Happens every year lately
