AFL Toast RND 21: We Gave Freo The Old Heave Ho!

[dnbassador]

amazing what can happen when you actually kick goals

Or points

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Percentage went up at last!

 

[WABomber]

Straight swap for Heppell?

Haven't seen enough of Hayes to know, but probably won't be replaced until Ridley is back.

 

[dnbassador]

And then I check to see that ****ing saints have kicked 1.4 into the 3Q and I wonder how the hell we lost to the aints!

Just as easy as we make Zac Jones look like a great footballer

 

[yodellinhank]

32K, where the **** were you all . At wolves v Rowille???
And I quote…” Dad, we got smashed, I wish I had come with you”

It's the worst best win I've ever seen, but glad to be there.

 

[Kong]

I haven't seen the game, so can someone help me out.


Did windyhill 'son win?

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Leaving Stringer fwd all day gave him enough time to kick a score big enough to get us over the line. Master stroke coaching by Brad.

 

[Zach Package]

shiel playing good games means it's definitely worth looking at trading him to see what value is out there.

i mean, the ship has sailed we should have done it 3 years ago. but still

Derm reckons he’s only been at the club for 3 years, so still has 3 years left on the 6 year deal. Elephant in the room

 

[Booplaz]

This kind of game makes me excited to replace a few players with Ridley, Reid and Kako next year.

Should we be worried Caldwell hasn’t re signed?

See his reaction after the siren? Doesn’t look like a bloke that wants out.

 

[yodellinhank]

Don't you know? We need to play more home games at the MCG so that we can draw the same crowd as we would at the Dome

Atmosphere was far better than the dome.

 

[bommer16]

He’ll stay.

 

[TheBrightSide]

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Cox laverde and Menzie genuinely awful.

Glad we got the win but we really didn't play that well. Need much better effort over the game

 

[Sporno 4 Pyros]

Is Duursma ok? App says he was out

Saw him doing some great defensive stuff late in the last qtr (noticed it because he never learnt that skill at the hanger).

But then I saw him hobbling off at the end (right leg?? Looking like he was walking barefoot on a hot footpath in the middle of summer)

35K and boy we made some noise.

Where were you bitches?

So…

It’s obvious that fitness or “running out of legs” (as many people have suggested) hasn’t been our problem based on our intent, run, and pressure in that last quarter.

Are we all agreed?

Therefore, our problems the past few weeks have been a combination of:

• mental
• wrong players
• players playing in wrong positions
• gameplan/approach

These are ALL coaching problems.

Just sayin’.

A cooked heppel and goldy and uncompetitive Wright don't help in trying to run out games.

Fitness has been a strength this season.

• mental is a coaching problem? Blaming a players mental for a bad performance is such a cop out.
• wrong players? Eg? Archie Roberts played a nice game, it’s not better than the best of Archie Perkins games. Same goes for Bryan, he played a nice game not better than what goldy was doing for us at the start of the year. does you seem to be blaming Scott for not dropping players in losses but not giving him credit for making changes in wins.
• what players playing in wrong positions?
• what specifically is wrong with the game plan? What is your interpretation of the game plan or approach.

Such a silly post just sayin

I agree with the general thrust of your post.

But Roberts game is better than any Perkins has played for a few months

 

[MiguelM]

Jye Caldwell was above elite today.
Everywhere and invested. Love this kid.

And that passion when the siren went.

Leadership group awaits.

 

[Squeaky]

Felt like a return to the start of the season all in one game.

Good contested team, not great at transition. Poor pressure, good pressure once Davey came on.

Got out a close win against a good team with effort rather then skill.

Good baseline to improve upon.

Also Sam Draper at FF is seemingly his best spot.

Salmon and the Mullet.

Perkins has been sub last two right? He’s been bad since coming back from injury. It’s probably fairer to compare those games vs daveys. I don’t really think the difference between winning and losing is those two players though.
