Autopsy Rd 21: Freo go down in a close one

[Superkoops]

Clark, Henry and Serong need to watch their last few efforts very ******* closely

Clark played very well until he was dumped onto the Astro by Rayner after kicking the ball.

He limped around came off for a rub down and then ran on quickly to spoil but everything else was a struggle for him.

Henry also had a good game but I agree gave up the first option late in the Brisbane HFF which was crucial.

Serong just had to do better at the end there. He has amazing quick hands and instead of just chucking onto the boot all the time he needs to get back to flicking out the quick handball.

 

[Tundrawolf]

Sturt kicking that clutch goal for that poster who said he didn't have it in him.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Amiss missing two he would usually snaffle up

Despite his early success I'm seriously concerned about the long term viability/reliability of his set shot. I was not surprised with either of his misses

 

[Randomizor]

Yet another season wasted

 

[muzzington]

I know one thing, Caleb won't let himself forget that moment any time soon.

Admirable effort from the boys.

 

[Superkoops]

Yet another season wasted

The season wasted before today’s game. That was a good effort. Forget the commentator building them up as a flicker of hope for the 8 was never any chance.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Much like our season that was a case of shoulda, coulda, woulda

We have well and truly had our chances to be pushing for a top 6 spot

Lots of things to love and lots of things that require attention. Thankfully it at least seems like the players know what their limits are and what needs to be worked on for us to win more of the close games that we have lost

 

[Yeti]

We are officially a peasant club.

Why on earth are we covering up the peasant Seekem logo with a peasant HostPlus logo?

whipping boy status reinstated. That mark attempt instead of a spoil/engaging the body

 

[Tonga Bob]

It’s the hope that kills you.

 

[Dockeroo]

Serong has zero calmness in these kind of tight finishes. It’s just million miles an hour, throw it on the boot, hack it anywhere type stuff. Zero composure.
Gosh how I longed for David Mundy

to be on that park in those last 5 min.

It’s annoying because to win big finals you have to learn how to win tight games and execute plays to score a goal with a minute or two left. All teams coach what to do in tight finishes. If you are lucky then you get 3-4 times a season where you trail by a goal with 2 min left and you get a chance to execute your plans for this scenario. We also get a rare look at who can actually thrive in this scenario and make good decisions.
That the second time this season (north the other one in R2) where we have unable to find a way to win from being within a goal with 2 min left. It’s all about decisions and making the right ones and we just were not good enough.

 

[mike91]

Happy with the effort, we lost our cool at the end with some of those disposals. We'll smash the eagles if we play like this.

Pos
I think that's Henry best game, I'm fine with a few spud ups
Jackson was everywhere in the 1st half
Young should never play HB again
Sturt and Amiss, even Corbett had his moment


Neg
Serong was so wasteful and it cost us the game
Erasmus also poor
Pearce was OK but still had a costly stuff up
Aish was an inanimate carbon rod

Wait, Henry played his best game, but Serong and Erasmus were crap?

Corbett was a positive with 3 kick and one very simple goal missed?

God people are harsh on a second year inside midfielder. Wtf do you guys expect from Erasmus in game what, 16?

Luckily Nathan Buckley can see his talent and gave him some praise

 

[Mags98]

what’s even the point of following a footy club if your just dead set pessimistic on everything?

lighten up you ****ing goblins, should’ve won against an experienced top 4 team, plenty of positives to take from there

Either side could have won that, happy with the effort we put in.
Young and Jackson make a midfield look better.
Serong's last contest probably an example of the difference between the two sides. Just need to consistently display that little bit of composure and class to be beating top 4 sides.

 

[serial_thrilla]

It’s the hope that kills you.

I saw our lad at the Harbour Master function today. He reckons he's 100% playing next week.

 

[Ysaye]

Amiss missing two he would usually snaffle up

Cameron also missed two shots he would normally get as well.

 

[fnerd]

Oh and a Shout out to coxy, 2 marks in the last ,really saved us from the embarrassment of playing hamling today

 

[trentjac]

Great player and young leader is Serong, but he just too often slams the ball onto the boot. Knew he would do that just before he picked up the ball.

I’ve been hoping we win a few more games to push up the first pick Melbourne have but to be honest whether it is 5 or 6 makes little difference at the end of the day.

Would have to be the worst hack kick in the afl. Gets a lot of it, but is big time billy butcher

 

[Mr Cheese]

Missed opportunity. For mine we won that apart from some sodas we'd usually hit (admittedly Cameron had a couple I'm sure he'd like back). Good signs moving forward.

should've…the great Freo descriptor

 

[longsuffreosupp]

In a 3 point game, just a few little brain snaps were costly. Not all doom and gloom.

 

[gaskin]

Needed another 10 seconds. Freddy would have marked that kick inside 50 on the siren.

 

[Lach72]

Equal second on the ladder. Pure garbage.

they aren’t good.

flakey as a Chris Connolly coached team

 

[Dockers v Channel7West]

Young has to stay in midfield for remainder of season
Regardless of his tank..
Going to be huge for us next year.. We've got plenty of half back flankers..
Almost as many as on big footy

Couple of bounces redone ended up costing us
