AFL Toast RND 22: Defeated The Suns

[doug85]

I’m genuinely excited for the first time in years. I think we can really do some damage if we sneak into the 8. Our list is healthy at the right time of the year for the first time since the early 2000s. Huge opportunity coming up!

How funny when Devon was on the end of the chain again, was ready to run around and snap...then checked himself and passed.

The midweek training has worked it seems!

To wear the preeemiership flag

Imagine breaking your finals hoodoo in the 1st year of your rebuild

Gotta get there first, of course

One thing I've noticed is their handballing game has really stepped up, gone are the hospital handpasses to a bloke under pressure, and if they do they seem to have the awareness of communication to tap it on

bring it out every game from now on

Taking pride of place on the couch all the way through finals.

One thing I noticed we tweaked up was our habit of stopping at whistles, often giving the oppo a chance to run away with a belated advantage call or free play on. Tend to be more on our toes the entire time now, whistle or not, which really stifled the play on aspects of GC's game. Just didn't stop being relentless with constantly moving until being told to stop for certain.

Good stuff.

West coast coming back hard ... ohhh geeee

I’m assuming your day of football/soccer viewing has had a similar effect to what it’s had on me

I know he played out the game, but geez I hope that Hepps thumb is ok. Would hate to see him miss a final with the shit he went through at the club.

 

[Beerfish]

I'm gonna credit the win to bringing out the lucky Bombers blankie! Ride it all the way to finals boys wooooooooooooooooo!

That blanket now has shrine status. It needs to stay right there.

Could the clock in this freo game tick any slower - ffs

It’s been a good day
Starting at 2:30am watching the Red men bed at 4:30am. Finally the footy this arvo.
My day is done I’m going to bed!

 

[doug85]

Horrible defending from Logue

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Very mature win.

 

[84859300]

Thank **** Freo

 

[Blind Turn]

That’s one of the more enjoyable non-essendon games I’ve watched in a longgg time. Really enjoyed watching WC fall agonisingly short. Hopefully Brisbane keep them down next week regardless of what happens with our game.

Another dominant win over an opponent we should beat easily, which is very pleasing. Shout out to a few guys I thought performed well. Laverde was very impressive against a far bigger opponent. Out marking King is pretty amazing. Cutler continues to build in confidence, and his field kicking was great to watch.

 

[pazza]

Great team performance. That's how you win games regularly.

 

[ghostdog]

Urgh. Covid suuuuuuuuuxxcccx.

Did I miss anything?

 

[tha Freak]

Thought all our lesser lights contributed well today and thats whats really driving this teams improvement. Snelling, Durnham, Guelfi, Perkins, Waterman, Cutler all were very serviceable games. When we have great contributions from our bench and fill ins, always will compete against anyone. Hard selection this week.

 

[IggypopsTshirt]

I went to the derby today and as far as I was concerned every Freo goal was a goal for the Dons.

 

[citizen-erased]

For all the pile on, and i was part of it, Dev cut a lot of the crap out of his game and did some nice things
Mason was huge. Thanks tribunal

Laverde was fantastic on King. Meant Stewart & Ridley could spend a game mopping up & Hind and Heppell got up the ground nicely.

please don't balls this up next sunday.

 

[Megabattimus]

Almost done with the replay and man, we really should've won by more. Crazy that we kicked our last goal of the game about five minutes into the last quarter. Waterman in particular should've kicked a bag. Should've had the distance on that set shot that Redman set up, and a couple marks definitely went begging in the forward 50.

No matter what happens next week, I'm glad we won ten games and have our percentage in the 100s. Those two alone make this a good first year of the rebuild. Bring on the Pies!

Just wondering how many posts I like before I become a whore and cop some sort of infraction.
