Review Rd 9: Freo keep rolling against the Swans

Remove this Banner Ad

Darce was a monster in the ruck - lots of his little taps to advantage in the second quarter handed us midfield dominance and goal opportunities. That one-armed mid-ruck catch , spin, F50 entry kick off a step, and then Shoota's resulting mark and goal had me laughing my f***ing head off - what a classic!! 🤣🤣

yes............yes....yes...............................yes..................................and yes!!!

How many for Freo?

He was so stiff with that Sydney goal from his 'dropped mark'.

That mark gets paid 99 times out of 100. In fact one was paid just minutes later to Sydney that wasn't held even as long as Fyfe did.

There was a lot of strange umpiring today in both directions.
 
Noticed Young using his right a couple of times in the last few weeks. Good to see after his draft vids showed he a good right foot, but we have hardly ever seen it.

How was that moment when he was streaming through the middle and decided to handball to Hughes alongside him to take the kick (who I think didn't hit a target).

I could just picture JLo in the box wondering how to diplomatically suggest during the review that Young should be taking that kick and that Hughes isn't in the team to be a designated kicker.
 
Darcy tapping to us --> clearances
Ras and others massively upping our pressure game (from non-existent the first couple of weeks) for 2 weeks now
The unholy trinity of LJ, Amiss, and the cyclone starting to show what the next 10 years will look like. One marking in the middle/wing, the next on the 50 line, the last back near goals. Giving us dangerous targets on each line. Very nice.
Walker back to his shutdown best
JOM stepping up in the middle
and so many others doing great efforts or back to their best.

Very nice to see what we are capable of

btw, the umpiring was all over the place (for both sides). Very strange.

Great win.

and we have MJ and Chapman to come back in down the track. This is a very talented young team.

My son and I both went off when that happened. It was a bonding moment.

I love that we copped another weird advantage call. The umpires are definitely trolling us. Have been for years.
 
Look - it was very encouraging, but we’ve beaten two bottom 6 sides in succession. Remember Brisbane and Bullies. As has already been noted above, it’s never as good as it seems, or as bad.

We needed these wins to retain long term hope and faith but these two swallows don’t make a summer.
Of course you’re right, but whether you play or support you have to enjoy & celebrate the wins. We haven’t won here for ages & it’s another small tick for our very young group.
The Bulldogs game was poor, rock bottom to be honest, but the Brisbane game will hopefully be seen as our turning point. We did ok & changed things up to the credit of the coaching group who were roundly bagged out at that point for the way we were playing.
Hopefully it continues but we took a step forward today at the contest, which has been our Achilles all year.

Said the exact same thing at the time 😂
