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

[Tony_Clifton]

Tabs is a lot of fun. Loves lighting little fires. B

 

[Cobbler]

I really want to like Emmett, but he’s been largely invisible for 3 weeks.

Does Cooper Simpson get a look?

 

[FreoRicci]

Johnson is in big trouble form wise. Easily dropped for Erasmus or Brodie.

 

[s_wd6]

Score flattered crows hugely. As others said we should’ve won that by 10 goals. Our conversion was just shocking. But crows didn’t look like firing after the first quarter.

was phenomenal. Can’t believe it’s the same guy from last season.

He was the most targeted forward inside 50 for both teams tonight. 10 times.
He’s been solid

 

[Kram]

Everything Pearce touched turned to shite last year confidence totally shot, now he's running around like he think he's God.

 

[Clems Knee]

Johnson is in big trouble form wise. Easily dropped for Erasmus or Brodie.

I thought Johnson played well

 

[Kram]

Backline immense.

Frustrating game to watch.

Draper has made a solid start to his career.

3-0. Take that every day, but just pointing out the teams we’ve played are collectively 0-9!

Against a good, bad and then average team. At least the wins were pretty comfortable none really falling over the line or lucky.

 

[Lach72]

It was so humid out there. Ball would’ve been like a cake of soap after two minutes of each quarter.


Backline absolutely immense.

Pearce, Ryan, Jordy Clark absolutely obliterated their star forwards.

Whole group is like massive fire blanket. Putting out fires.

Midfield was a little off, Hayden Young

being best afield.

Would’ve liked the forward line to click and Freddy to contribute more than just one quarter.

Draper is going to be something special. He’s like a Johnno and Roger clone…

 

[freo1997]

JOM casually got 7 disposals last qtr..but not damaging.

Either play him starting or wafl. He isn’t a sub.

 

[s_wd6]

Haven’t felt the loss of Cox/McDonald yet, credit to Draper. Next week will be a real test but he’s held his own so far, and thought he was really solid today.

 

[Cobbler]

Against a good, bad and then average team. At least the wins were pretty comfortable none really falling over the line or lucky.

Coincidently our opponents next week - Carlton, have also not played a side that’s won a game!

They’ve beaten Brisbane, Richmond and North.

Neutral venue in Adelaide. Will be an interesting game.

 

[Deathly]

I really want to like Emmett, but he’s been largely invisible for 3 weeks.

Does Cooper Simpson get a look?

I don't think Emmett is any good. He was fine last year but that's because he came in hungry filled with opportunity when the season was pretty much over.

Needs to play more 2nds.

 

[Deathly]

Credit to Fyfe in the 4th also, shook of a few big tackles and bodies that set up some scores. He's going to be so important when it really matters.

 

[Freomaniac]

Well this is an interesting win...

9.15.69 to Crows 4.10 34. It reminds me of the Days of a typical Ross Lyon win. lol

Had it been 15.9.99 to the crows 9.5.59, I could say it was an entertaining win.

Aish got 29 disposals. Serong got 28 disposals and will poll again in the brownlow.


one last thing.... I didnt put any cash on Freo to lose. It was good friday, all the pubs and tab shops were closed lol.

 

[One_Wing]

 

[BStaff17]

Longmuir v Nicks debate is settled then.

Adelaide are frauds and nicks is overrated for a side that haven't had a signature win on the road.

JL has had a few already and won a final.

No votes for Serong in this game.

 

[Tonga Bob]

His all Australian campaign is off to a flyer

My head would literally explode.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Ugly, professional win.

Which is kind of more encouraging, in a way, because it means we're actually back.

This.

Starting to believe again - this is dangerous.

 

[johnthegardener]

It's very noticeable to me that we don't seem to apply enough pressure when our opponents are bringing the ball from defense with short kicks to players under no pressure at all. This happened again tonight on a number of occasions and it's not good. How often did Adelaide have a pass into the 50 that was under no pressure at all. For god's sake at least put some pressure on!

 

[Fat Nyfe]

I still like Emmett but I think Simpson should get a look in for him.

Johnson had a lot of positive moments I thought.

 

[dexter_]

Draper moves like a gazelle and looks like an ancient Egyptian prince

50 year storm is coming

How many goals did they kick again?
