David king on first crack

“Longmuir has listened to me and instructed freo to play fast attacking footy”…..
Proceeds to show one 7 second clip of freo going quick as proof

Well I know I’ve generally been pretty negative but that was ****ing awesome. Great pressure, hard tackling, smothers and ****en finally some accuracy in front of goal. Great work Freo. Love ya guts.

Mate, any noise that comes out of a Crack is typically neither pleasant, nor worth paying much attention to.

[Superkoops]

Thought he was a positive tbh. Looks a much better player than last season and someone who can at least be part of our depth going forward.

Agreed. Warner looked much more comfortable. Used the ball well and made good decisions. Also remember him standing under a high ball at one point at CHB with a pack coming towards but he stood his ground and didn’t flinch. Showed courage in that spoil attempt where he got knocked out. Those sort of efforts will be praised heavily by the coach and team.

 

[rgauci]

Our pressure was right up today aside from the first 15 minutes. Was a pleasure to see Brisbane cough it up. Going to be tough without Cox, Macdonald for a while.

 

[Righteo]

Just wanted to point out that we lost another FK count at home despite being the much better side. A round 1 win is nice but some things never change

also worth mentioning that we gave up a whopping 45 games experience per player and looked by far the more assured and mature side. veeeeeery nice Justin.

 

[Wray27]

You saw Q1 right???

A whole game has 4 of those right???

Can I just mention!! I sit sports lounge side and Jeremy Sharp held his width PERFECT alllll day! To be honest he was actually out a lot more than we used him but I’m just saying the dude is young az, has a BOOMING kick and didn’t get sucked in! We have 100% found a winger here guys !

Watching run from behind, catch and then beat the opposition to the ball late in the game was a thing of beauty!

 

[DocT]

Pearce was HUGE. We wouldn't have won it without him.

 

[Dockernut]

A few things I wouldn’t mind some info on from those watching at home; what was the extent of the injuries, was there anything in the rough tackles that might see us cop some attention in the MRO and was Sebba and Jackson’s games as amazing on the box as live??

 

[freo_leo29]

5:15 am and buzzing, guess I'm getting no sleep

Devo about the injuries though

Josh draper come on down

McDonald looks an ACL

Cox tore his hammy off the bone


Worner was out cold so will likely miss 1-2 with concussion


Pretty bad injuries tbh

 

[Freo123]

Great win Dockers. That was a complete destroyation of a Grand Finalist.

Serong, Ryan, Jackson, Amiss, Treacy, Sonny and the rest. Great intent after the slow start.

And Fyfe

Injuries: Worner out for a week with concussion, McDonald hyperextended his knee, will need scans to be sure but looked surprisingly upbeat on the bench, Cox looks like a bad hammy 6-10 weeks but will obviously need scans to confirm the extent.
Rough tackles: shouldn’t be too concerned but we’re Freo so who knows what the MRO will dream up.
Sebba and Jackson were immense, as were Amiss and Treacy.

 

[GingerDocker]

I was wrong about Worner.

I copped, in retrospect, some heat for indicating I didn’t think he belonged.

He showed today that he can be a legit AFL player.

Great questions.
Injuries - Coxlooks like an 8+ weeks hammy. Hopefully I'm wrong.
McDonald looks bad, horrible hyperextension. Was up and around after the game, await scans but will miss weeks at minimum.
Worner definite concussion.
Sebba and Jackson awesome nights confirmed, unbelievably good.
Walters did a deliberate trip and deserves more than a fine. I don't know the guidelines but maybe a week.
I didn't see any tackles that would warrant a suspension.
Lets keep F**G goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooing

Is this a Bigfooty gaslighting moment? Yes, 4 in total. We can only comment on what we've seen so far at the time, which was 1 quarter of mostly vomit.

My response was to someone who was questioning how dare people blast Freo after 1 quarter for serving up hot garbage. There wasn't any other possible reaction available at the time although I did say things weren't as dire as it seemed.

 

[Joose]

Anybody know if Voss can play in Defence?

We'll be lucky if Cox plays again this year.

Freddy’s goal was the highlight.

Freddy’s goal was the highlight.

He made that look a lot easier than it is. Outstanding finish.

 

[purplearmy]

Oh yeah, and the Weagles got a good plucking today too. Good start all round.
