Roast Vent Here

[dexter_]

I’m here to vent about the massive influx of nuffies crawling out of the woodwork, spouting all kinds of vile venom after two rounds of bad footy. I’d even say one after watching the Saints today. Can’t wait for you pricks to disappear back under your rocks when things get back on track.

got a feeling some of them might be eagles trolls

It's pretty messed up hey. It's like people enjoy the losses more so they can spend the whole week shitting on everything. Watch them crawl back into their holes if the wins start coming and we play good footy, they won't bother posting then.

 

[Hamann188]

Holding on to Taberner in the team is holding on to mediocrity. We need to move on from him because he's not going to be a part of our premiership team.

Very much this!

Don’t worry if we lose today they’ll really show their true colours.

 

[heavho]

I don’t know why I have so much passion for freo. I should have given up already.

last year.

I’m sure I’ve missed a few too.

 

[blue shark]

The next Connor Blakely??

The difference is that Brodie has elite hands.
The difference to this year and last JOM.
It’s a MC issue, Mundy may have been slowing down but he could find space and timing
We went slower if that’s possible. Guys need to be rotated in and out of
the midfield.
You could play one HB midfield and still play Wilson, Walker.
A backline of Clark, Young,Chapman should be giving us massive drive.
How is it possible that Hughes MIA last year is now a lock?
I understand NOD wasn’t available, but I just don’t see a game style to
take the game to another level.
I really don’t see what Sturt is doing on the list?
If Fyfe has a foot issue why wasn’t he rested? Erasmus can play forward/mid.
Brayshaw, Serong, JOM can do the same.
It appears to be fixable, but the transition play and forward craft is lacking.
At least Johnson gets his chance, a guy with his pace, height and skills its
about time.
Top teams intimidate physically, who brings this? Treacy, Erasmus, Reidy, Emmett.
Yet none are.even close to best22.
Chapman should have hit the weights, looks like he has been coasting. Not
surprised he hasn’t started well.

C'mon mate you need to build a deep list if you want to go all the way. They are good depth players but I would consider Brodie to be b22.

There should be no depth players on 4 year deals.

That’s a one way ticket to the bottom of the ladder.
Young players that are improving are different - clubs often try lock in promising new draftees for 4 years (2 year base deal plus 2 year extension).
But all players 24 year old and over - if you want a 4 year deal you need to be a B22 lock. Not a peel player. There’s no debate about that IMO.

Yeah but if the club signed prematurely than that hints they got a better deal than expected.

Maybe - if they have signed him up on the cheap then fair enough. Remember this is guy that was paid $600k per annum by Gold Coast as a 22 year old so I couldnt see him taking a lowball offer from freo for a longer term however.

 

[PurpleReign]

If you give a kid a debut start him on the field, not the frickin tactical sub. Where’s the adventure? Where’s the fun in that? Be bold, make a statement, throw down a challenge, give him a memory to cherish. I’m guessing JL has never made an omelette.

 

[Reginald Perrin]

Oi, you lot! Selections, list development and player performance discussions are all catered for elsewhere.

 

[serial_thrilla]

This thread will be busy this week...

More umpires = worse umpiring. Wonderful.

That was just standard Derby reaming.

 

[Deathly]

Whens the 5th umpire coming in?

 

[Geoff]

Liam Henry !!

Does not have a football brain. Does not have football instinct. Does not have the hardness for AFL.

No apology, I’ve given Liam time to deliver, no more glimpses of what you could be, this is the big league, no room for what could of been, time for someone else to deliver, come on down Erasmus.

Anybody think that wouldn’t have been an 80 pt loss if we were down 4 players ?

Our ceiling is getting lower and lower by the game

Smooth sailing pre-season and the best injury list in the comp

This is gonna get ugly AF

Depends on which 4 players.

I'm all for trying something new like the AFL is for gather round but why are us and the Eagles the only two teams in the league that have to "gather" in Adelaide for two games in a row? How is that equitable fixturing VFL??

Pretty sure it was mentioned somewhere that we requested it. One less week of travel.

 

[gaskin]

The changes. More specifically one inclusion.

 

[MrDanggazz]

JL’s and the selection committees conservative approach to things is going to set us a back several years of list progression if this is left unchecked.

Banfield, Hughes, Taberner will not be playing in Fremantle first premiership, grow some balls and make the big calls. Why draft natural forwards if we are not willing to give them an extended period of experience in the AFL and choose WAFL plodders over them again and again.

Don’t even get me started on the complete bust that is Liam Henry.
