Review Round 21, 2021 - Fremantle vs. Brisbane Lions

[Back2Back2Back]

Bailey toweling up Wilson in the goal square has to be one of the most foreshadowing plays of the entire game. Just straight up muscled him off his kick, collected his own ball, goal. Simply beautiful. Another 1%er effort, attacking the player after the ump calls play on.

Love these 2 stats here

 

[Scubaveg]

Dan McStay is fast becoming our most important player

We win when the barometer plays. No way is he dropped next week.

We've won more games with Rhys as a starter than Neale this year... Just saying. Maybe he's our Goodluck charm or something.

We’ve also beaten just 2 top 8 teams with Matho; Port and GWS

The first two centre clearances that Zorks got he butchered the ball going inside 50, should've hit a target or at least put it to advantage.

Aside from that he was pretty good I guess

He seemed to Butcher balls all day but atleast he got the ball going forward.

How many top 8 teams have we played with him in the team?

Being serious for a moment, I think Rhys inclusion changes the midfield dynamic (likely for the better) with Neale in, he's expected to get most of the ball and dominate possession through the midfield. However, Rhys being a lesser player results in our midfielders picking up the slack more, which creates a more even distribution across the midfield.

Guaranteed he goes out for Neal.

Appetite for the contest was pretty much missing for the last month. Captain lead from the front today in that regard.

Against top 6 teams; we’re 1 from 2 with him, 1 from 3 without.

Forward momentum accompanied by pressure acts is a thing , yeah?

Based on Neales 2021 form

I'd rest Neale one more week if it helps with that shoulder.
Neale at close to 100% would be more valuable in finals than at 70-80%.

Boo. Party pooper.

Note. I might have drink too much al-cho-ol while enjoying the game.

Absolutely wrapped with Dan Mcstay. I like what Cockatoo is building. Huge captain's knock from Zorks. Kiddy looked good down back. Hope nothing serious with Robbo. Very very good team effort overall.

My only negative was Birchall playing on a tall. Definitely not his go but no other option.

The age old question.
What to do with Birchall?
Can’t play on a tall, can’t play on a small.

 

[BangyBangy]

Oh, BTW not sure it's been covered yet but did anyone else hear Gerard Healy say that he has been told that Gardiner will play next week & Adams the week after?

I'll bet the house he will not go out for Neal.

I thought he mentioned that Gardiner was about 2 weeks away. I think we'll have them both available for selection for the elim, whether or not we see them before that.

He also confidently dropped that they’ll apparently be playing the grand final in Perth this year so let’s just wait and see

 

[Squizz89]

Fages said in the presser both Lachie and Darcy will be available for selection next week. Didn’t see anything about Adams.

Great news.

Payne and Dizzy for Birchall and Lester please.

 

[martinson]

Nice effort to win easily with everyone contributing.

Obviously we'd love to have a fit Gardiner and Adams back but everyone we've brought in from injury has taken 2 or 3 weeks to hit their straps. So you'd like to see them in before finals.

Having J. Berry around the centre contests was a big plus today . He's just a strong body that competes hard.

On our day we're competitive with anyone ,like all the good sides. I'm encouraged by us having 3 1/2 very poor weeks which statistically should have us firing the next 5.
