Autopsy Round 1: Loss against the Saints

[Van_Dyke]

Have at it. Report any trolls instead of engaging with them please

Does JLo ever change anything?
Same crap all game..

I get we’re moving Fyfe fwd now, but a patch in the middle wouldn’t have been a bad idea given we couldn’t get it forward to him.

Just always seems when things go bad, there’s never any in game changes, camera pans to him when it’s bad and he looks completely clueless in the box at the time.

 

[gaskin]

No, he didn’t

That poster is an idiot. You would have to be to think Hughes was anywhere near as good as Henry.

Before the game interview with Ross was talking about how we like to transition slowly and controlled. Was very easy for him to cut that off today, as I imagine it would be for most other coaches. No speed or excitement at all in the way we played, and that forward line was just the icing on the cake.

JL's gameplan has been found out and he doesn't seem capable of a plan B, a loss is one thing but it's the way the loss transpired that is incredibly alarming.

Thought Freo lacked a big body through the wings today.

Pick 52 this year is a ripper though.

Yes, we badly missed a soft shitty jocks squib kicking it into the stratosphere tonight.

After the final siren an old bloke walked past me in the aisle and said three words to me:

“We’ve learned nothing”

How long is JLo's contract? Asking for a friend

 

[Footskill]

Not sure wholesale changes would make a difference.

Think the Fyfe experiment up forward not working. I knew his kicking was terrible but expected at least him being there would provide good contest and lock it in. Think he needs go back into midfield.

They need run the ball more. The stop start approach doesn't work for Freo

The game has gone past his gameplan

 

[Shadow Man]

No system, no desire and a really disappointing 1st up effort being watched from an expectant membership led to believe we might be on the cusp of something.

Put his name on the board, Colin.

The personnel could do it if the ball movement was better than WAFL mid table level.


Its not the result, its the method. It just won't work.

I saw enough opportunities bombed today to suggest it wasn't the method.

More the execution moving inside 50.

How many times will forwards drop a basic chest mark before they catch one.

Or not kick to open players inside 50.

We missed plenty of opportunities to put them away in the 3rd quarter and didn't left the door ajar and they pounced.

We kicked 7.10 probably 3 to 4 behinds were kickable and kicked at least 1 OOF.

By round 5 you'll all forget this and be scrambling over those GF Packages lol

You can thank Ed Sheeran for us missing out on a home game this weekend, not the AFL.

Another reason to dislike that ginger apart from his shithouse music…

 

[royale with cheese]

Lyon exploited our height up forward to basically run and gun from their defence all afternoon. If Taberner wasn’t injured then I’m not surprised he was subbed off, he does nothing once the ball hits the ground, and it seems Ross took that knowledge into the game.

 

[fnerd]

Yeah real worry with the way we play nothing and I mean nothing seems to have changed from last year

 

[Mr Cheese]

And now for the 6 game win streak!

I'm hoping it's a short week and the atmosphere is a total 180

 

[freocuz]

I’m wondering whether our coaches have ever watched a Lyon-coached team. Pressure around the ball is what he does, but seemed to come as a complete shock to us. Poorly prepared.

I thought Jackson overall was poor. And yet he started so brightly with that neat handball to Freddy for our first goal. But it was summarized by his lazy boneheaded kick around the body shot for goal that missed the lot. And that basically characterized the afternoon.....sigh! The joys of being a footy fan...2022 Round 2, deja vu....footy: f*** you

 

[MrDanggazz]

On paper I would say we have a better list than Collingwood, yet if we had faced Geelong today we would have lost by 100+ points.

 

[s_wd6]

Also our smalls gave us nothing in the forward line. Or we just didn't play enough smalls. There was never anyone there at the fall of the ball. Played way too tall for no reward at all.

 

[Wilksyy]

Outcoached.

Boys didn’t back themselves to make the hard kicks so we played “keep offsies.”

We better learn to embrace our youth and speed otherwise it’s going to be a long year.

Onto next week.

What can we say after an exhibition like that. Only once (in the last quarter) did I see a forward lead into the empty space. Pretty well every time we had the ball just outside the fifty you would look up and evry fremantle player in the forward 50 was standing still waiting for the easy goal There aren't any easy goal unless the uympire gifts you one.
Treacy, you need to lead straight up the middle regardless of where the ball is and woe betide anyone standing in your way - just DEMAND that the bell be kicked to you.
Why on earth we lead and kick to the pocket I don't understand. Goals get scored from in front of the goals not from impossible angles.
But whatever just run to create space/lead or to cover an opponent. This is auskick training!

 

[fnerd]

Also agree on Taberner calls sure treacy was shite but at least he’s got development in him .
Craberner is either “on” or tidal liability
