Freo won't kick to a contest, they'll take the short kick every time. Being too conservative has cost them, as they've been out on numerous occasions but refused to press the advantage.

Last 10 minutes we finally started pressing, cutting off loose men across half back and the short outlet kick up the ground. If we keep it up and make it a front half game, should win this one comfortably.

That said, Owies sub looks like a mistake in hindsight, with the talls not working.

We've had more scoring shots and inside 50s. Just need to keep our composure with the ball and hit up targets inside 50
 
Be nice to insert Sam Walsh right now

Straight swap for Ollie if I had my way

There's almost zero variety and Carroll is mostly being used as a decoy and defensive option now.

Our whole game style keeps reverting to trying to obtusely bulldoze the opposition until they take one too many body blows.

There's easier ways to play football before September, though to their credit Fogarty is finally getting looks.
Either lean into it and use pitto as he suits that or yes. Mix it up and use some more designed set ups
 
Not the end of the world if we drop this game but would really like us to identify that we’re being stifled and come up with the right changes to unlock the game on our terms.

Would love to see that level of growth in the coaches/players.
 
They park the bus like that we need our small forwards to kick goals.
Or at least apply pressure, push the zone up and choke them in D50. Intercept and get repeat entries. We've struggled to lock it in besides the last 5 minutes. Freo are winning the ball on the ground and therefore winning territory and then locking us down,making it hard to transition.

Pressure, contested ball and speed on the ball are the keys. Hitting a target wouldn't also hurt.
 
Skinfolds Ryan is doing nothing except being a Nic Martin type seagull.. why the attention on him? He ain’t breaking the lines or completely dominating.

He’s kicking at 100 percent because he is playing uncontested kick to kick with Jordan Clark.

If we actually won a clearance, hit a target or took a contested mark and stopped fumbling the ball we’d probably be half a chance.
 
His statement isnt wrong at all though? Systematic wise we arent the greatest, we just are lucky enough both our forwards are close to generational and can turn s**t into strawberry jam
Except when they play on 15m out… then they turn it into chocolate pudding…
