Roast Vent Here

Everyone said the last few years that Melbourne have no forwards.
We are Melbourne on steroids.
Have we got the worst forward line in the comp? It’s definitely bottom 4 anyway. It’s worse than the eagles for sure, which is quite an achievement given how s**t they have been.

Melbourne’s forward line is at least pretty good on paper, they just play a defensive and controlled possession-based game that limits scoring. Remember this same Melbourne team put up 140 on the scoreboard in the Grand Final a couple years ago so they’re definitely capable of flipping the switch when necessary

Whereas we play defensively and our forward line is shit

On the topic of Melbourne and goal-scoring mids, Petracca alone kicked 5 goals on Thursday night and nearly single-handedly dragged Melbourne over the line.

A reminder that our mids; Serong, Brayshaw, Fyfe, Young, Johnson and O’Meara have kicked 9 goals combined for the year.

We just seem to have nobody with any genuine goal-sense

we easily have the worst forward line of the entire 150 year history of the afl. Why the **** do the footy Gods hate freo so much

Goals win games. Unfortunately the coaching staff and the recruiting department haven’t figured that out yet.

 

[Madas]

Not his best game, but at least Fyfe brings a contest. ******* Omeara gives nothing

Yeh wow
That guy knows how to shirk a contest and avoid contact
Very soft
Nice kick of the ball and good in open space ( albeit slow ) but he ain’t exactly putting in the hard yards out there

Petracca is the height of a key forward. Hardly far in comparison. Melbourne used him exclusively in that role.
Fyfe is the next option, but unfortunately isn’t mobile enough and we all know he’s suspect in front of goal.

Bit unfair to say McDonald looks better than our forwards. Imagine if Treacy & Amiss had Gulden, Warner & Heeney kicking the ball to them instead of our lot who put it over their heads, on the deck or straight to the opposition.

Petracca is a much better goal kicking forward than any of ours, however he played a full forward in the last half of that game.

ITs another year..

One week we all so optimisitic.

The next we are wanting to watch Tiddly Winks instead

The life of Fremantly supporters for 30 yrs.

Would be nice to have one gameday thread where we didn't have people acting as if there was an umpire conspiracy against it, all comes across as an excuse to not hold players accountable, sure there's shit calls every game, but we're not getting ****ed by any means.

 

[Righteo]

There's always the West Coast board...

 

[rgauci]

Josh Draper is horrendous.

 

[King Huskii]

How shit is O'mera

 

[MadMundy]

This club does not have a "win at all clubs mentality" they don't have the mentality of a big club, all I see is a small club mentality of "Do our best and even if we lose it's okay as long as it's honourable"

 

[Sir Deadly]

Sack the forwards coach surely!

 

[Madas]

This game should be the
“Also Rans vs The Participators “

Yes. But this board is evidence of a supporter/member base that is prepared to keep accepting mediocrity and shouting down anyone that wants to call out poor performance. If the members don’t demand a high accountability culture why would anyone expect one?

 

[King Huskii]

Sharp has been best on tonight

 

[King Huskii]

That Freo supporting kid with a hyperactive red slushy has been best on ground for Freo tonight

Just look at the usual suspects in the game thread blaming the umpires for everything, allergic to holding the team accountable.

What arrogance, honestly. Never seen a poster in here with a higher opinion of themselves.

Mate have you seen our game threads? Very much a lack of holding players accountable.

 

[Midnite65]

How s**t is O'mera

Wish Emmett, Switta, Walters, etc were as bad as him and they might get two goals each. Has Emmett ever kicked a goal yet?

 

[Midnite65]

Draper needs a rest, lets his opponent kick too many goals and ball watches..time to give Davies a go.
