Review Win’s a win: Freo in a grind over the Crows

WTF? There was a huge amount of pressure applied by us. You're simply not going to be able to cover off the opposition transitioning 100% of the time and you need to pick your battles. Maybe that's what stuck with you? But great pressure game from forwards, backs and mids.
Earlier in the game our tackle count was quite down compared to Crows. By the end we had 20 more tackles than they did. I was really pleased with how Freo kept the pressure going till the end.
 
Emmett has provided some good pressure up forward for us but at the same time I'm having a hard time coming up with some reasons to keep him in the side, he's doing some things but I don't feel what he's providing is enough, would be nice to see him get on the scoreboard for us.

How about his Golden Globe appearances?
painful
not my cup of tea, but I don't like much English comedy to be honest.
Hey, back to the footy, I was at the North game & gave Fyfe votes, but I thought he wasn't that good this week.
There were some, who rated his game.
Is it a case of, you have to be there live to see all of the hard work he does?
 
I wish more of our forwards would take a leaf out of Banfield's book. Him and Walters are the only 2 smalls in our team who seem willing to take the responsibility to have a shot.
Yes, I've been quite impressed with Banners. He's physically built and is now playing reliably and taking his moments and turning them into positive outcomes for the team. In a lot of ways, he's come on similarly to Treacy.
 
Would have to watch the replay but overall I feel a bit disappointed with Matt Johnson this year. He just seems a little off to me.
As big as he is, he's still got to develop and mature his bod to play the game effectively. He can still be out bodied by more experienced players and now he's getting more inside time, he'll be exposed more often.
I think we just need to be patient and let him still grow. Still saw plenty of good stuff amongst his inexperience.

Funny

He openly mocks Hollywood elite and gets paid a fortune to do it

He was his bull beast best around the ball, but a lack of defensive running costs us a couple. He’s still finding his feet in terms of how he fits in.
 
I just started watching this game again.
Was the non-50 to Switkowski noted at all?
When he got the free for a hold the oppo threw the ball back to Fyfe who just accepted it form the Crom soldier.
It reminded me of the time when N(D)ick Riewoldt did that to Griffin Logue & started squealing to the umpire, & be duly paid the 50.
Unless the rules have changed.???

I believe they have eased the interpretation.

Agree. I’ve seen good linkup speed and physicality so far- and also some rash and casual acts that remind me that he’s young, and going to be inconsistent.
If he keeps refining his game he’ll be a valuable dont-argue presence on wing, midfield or wherever he’s played, I reckon.

I think you ll find the post your referring to is about Fyfe not Johnson;)

EDIT: crossed post, sorry. I’m referring to Matty Johnson.
But I also agree with the Fyfey obs re learning where he fits in. Notwithstanding that, there were magic moments of sheer Fyfe class - like a smooth as velvet receive-and-dispose, and a classic mark….may he be able to produce many more.
 
It was just another umpiring mistake.
19.1 Spirit and Intention
After a Mark or Free Kick has been awarded to a Player, a Fifty-Metre Penalty will be awarded against the opposing Team which delays or impedes the play, or behaves in an unsportsmanlike manner.

I think this was the change in 2022.
