Bartram - missed the flight

Bate - was barely noticed

Bell - stranded at Tulla

Bruce - was rarely sighted

Buckley - exciting but reckless

Davey - a poor game

Dunn - was rarely sighted

Garland - not an influence

Jamar - was rarely sighted

C. Johnson - not the worst

P. Johnson - little to enthuse

Jones - a poor game

Martin - played a part

Miller - our best player

Morton - poor under pressure

Newton - 5 minute performance

Sylvia - junk time possessions

Warnock - missed the plane

Wheatley - not as impressive

Whelan - loose and inefficient

Valenti - gave some drive

Wonaeamirri- not on ground

You were harsh on Bate.

Miller clearly went missing in the 2nd & 3rd quaters.

Good summary, well done.

Martin impressed me again, and I do feel for the backline. Very hard to defend when you have no midfield.

Also thought Jamar had one of his better games around the ground. Took some strong marks, got involved in stoppages and kick a goal.

Overall though, only Miller showed any sort of leadership out there. It's sad that without McLean and Green we only have one on-field leader left.

I though Bell wasn't too bad, and I'm not usually a fan.

Newton continually drives me up the wall with his inability to even recognise the footy for 95% of the game.

Miller clearly went missing in the 2nd & 3rd quaters.

Yep he did, sort of although he did work very hard to try to get to the ball but........

Given we didn't have the ball to actually send anywhere near his direction at all for that time, having any substantive influence really does become problematic.

Newton continually drives me up the wall with his inability to even recognise the footy for 95% of the game.

He wasn't great, but again he lacked many chances in the forward line. My biggest concern is his inability to hold crucial marks.

He's useless. A waste of space.

Blood some more youngsters and show Juice the door.

Sylvia continues along his merry path to embrace his destiny as the greatest junk time player of all time.

I think I can sum up this team performance with just one player analysis:

Brett Peake - a class above

When BP looks good, you played #&%#&*& @#&

Sylvia didnt play on Brett Peake.

Im quite sure it was Crowley who went to him.

He's useless. A waste of space.

Blood some more youngsters and show Juice the door.

bate was far worse today........

and who are we going to blood?

bate was far worse today........

and who are we going to blood?

My god you hate Bate.

Beaten up by a red head when you were younger?

Buckley - exciting but reckless

This guy is about as explosive as Chris Judd, but your right he was wreckless.

If he can learn to dispose well on the run, then we will have a fine player who will be very capable of breaking games open.

My big positive of the game.

and who are we going to blood?

Whoever is left ........

Sylvia didnt play on Brett Peake.

Im quite sure it was Crowley who went to him.

I meant the team's performance.

and who are we going to blood?

Maric, McNamara, Grimes?

My god you hate Bate.

Beaten up by a red head when you were younger?

actually my best friend was a red head...

anyway i do like bate ... .but i was not at happy with him today ...there were alot of lazy free kicks given away today but there were atleast 3 by bate....

he looks so unco and his ball use was bad ... anyone got a stat for disposal eff %

The 3 things that lose football matches

Scenraio 1

When we have the football - POOR DISPOSAL and DECISION MAKING and NOT MOVING IT QUICKLY

Scenario 2

When the opposition has the football

LACK of pressure on the ball carriier and having NO INSIGHT on his next objective

Scenario 3

When the Ball is in dispute

Lack of COMITTMENT and NO TALKING and POOR TACKLING

We had our share of ALL 3 after the first quarter

Freo had all 3 in the First Quarter

Terrible Display in a Terrible Jumper

Back to the Training Track ..............Again

Time to DROP some players

actually my best friend was a red head...

anyway i do like bate ... .but i was not at happy with him today ...there were alot of lazy free kicks given away today but there were atleast 3 by bate....

Matthew Bate's disposal effective % was 52 from his 23 touches today, the worst in our side by 4% from Paul Wheatley.

He butchered the ball and gave away cheap frees when the heat was on, and in junk time he finally got a bit of cheap footy to boost his

overall numbers (hello Newton, Sylvia and Jones, you're in the same boat in terms of junk time stats)...

Bartram - some poor decisions

Bate - poor first half

Bell - tried but panics

Bruce - some nice touches

Buckley - broke the lines

Davey - patches of brilliance

Dunn - mis-match on Pav

Garland - plenty to like

Jamar - excellent ruck contests

C. Johnson - outside running player

P. Johnson - some deft touches

Jones - a poor game

Martin - plenty to like

Miller - our best player

Morton - poor under pressure

Newton - 5 minute performance

Sylvia - junk time possessions

Warnock - very good spoils

Wheatley - good until injured

Whelan - dogged and cool

Valenti - gave some drive

Wonaeamirri- not best effort

Sylvia continues along his merry path to embrace his destiny as the greatest junk time player of all time.

if memory serves me Colin Silvia's under 18 coach rated him the "most competitive beast" he had ever seen. i bet he now wishes nobody remembered that comment.

Matthew Bate's disposal effective % was 52 from his 23 touches today, the worst in our side by 4% from Paul Wheatley.

When will Paul Wheatley finally give up his futile attempts at bombing the ball to absolutely nobody?

Honestly, it makes him look like a dumb, lazy footballer, which he is not.

team in general......not good enough :angry: :angry:

When did he bomb it to absolutely nobody.

He was probably kicking to space.

When did he bomb it to absolutely nobody.

He was probably kicking to space, you nuffy.

For one, his attempt at goal was shite. Kicked it out on the full, and for a minute there I thought I was watching Newton.

When he panics under pressure he bombs it. It's great that he's getting his hands on the ball, but the ineffectiveness of his disposal is unacceptable for a player of his experience. He cost us goals today, and he cost us goals last week. Not good enough.

you guys all make me sick stop talking down to the

game see some good ib the game please!!!!!!!!!!!!!
