Is it me just me, or do our players get comfortable after a win at home??? We are absolutely shocking when interstate, and we aren't much better back in Victoria most of the time. I understand we are developing a young team, but we are so bloody inconsistent and it's the more senior players that constantly let us down.

But yeah, we really need to lift, and for those who think, we are young what do you expect, i at least expect all 22 players to give it their all. We just drop our heads so quickly when we are down and with no momentum, we barely give a yelp.

Essendon are pathetic, but we are RIGHT UP THERE too.

Holey moley why not go man on man and see how we go for a 10 minutes or so....

Bartram's been ok. Somebody needs to tell the team that Jurrah isn't going to take hangers all day long and a kick to a lead is a better option

Lazy lazy lazy.....

[Adam The God 30,420]

The last two weeks, Garland has turned the ball over a couple of times in the first quarter. Most of the time, these turnovers have resulted in goals. He has to get better at this. I love him, but he's had a very ordinary start.

[titan_uranus 25,045]

Why is Green playing midfield? He kicked 5 goals last week, dominated as a forward, has 36 goals for the year, and we start him on a wing/half-back. Not happy with that.

Also not happy with the loose man in defence. Why did we drop Morton to work on aggression and defensive work if we're going to give him the easiest job in football (loose man in defence)? It's not having an infleunce on the game; in fact it's hurting us as McPharlin is loose for Freo and he's mopping up our inside 50s.

[Gorgoroth 13,023]

I'm about to do the friggin dishes if it continues the same in the second quarter.

Seriously tho, I do not know why I think we might do allright this time. we wont and I learn again that I should just do other things when we play interstate.

I think we all do......

It is not good enough.

[Jaded No More 68,974]

Ugh. I love this club, but some days I hate this team.

This [censored] is ridiculous. There is developing young teams, and there is watching a team come out not ready to play. We are asleep out there, giving away DUMB free kicks, our disposal is disgusting and we are just completely lost for ideas.

And when will our senior players stands up when we need them? Bruce, Green, Rivers, Moloney, all terrible or not seen this quarter.

Thank god for Scully. He is having a nice start!

[Freak 100]

is it just me but I can pretty much tell within the first 2 minutes whether we are going to win or not. We either come to play or not and the first couple of minutes seems to show that.

I dare Bailey to play man on man football for a quarter and see the difference. And get rid of the loose man in defense, its clearly not doing us any good whatsoever.

Agree with green needing to be back in the forward line, why he's not up there i'll never know.

[titan_uranus 25,045]

Scully and (it pains me to say this) Johnson are probably our only highlights.

Need to ditch the loose man tactic, man up the Fremantle defenders, get Green in the forward line, stop pushing the forwards into defence, and of course wake up.

[Grandson of a gun 276]

Once again i would hate to be a forward in the Demon team on days like today.

You think the mids and backs could hit a target and move it quickly???

[Hobbits's 17]

and people here reckon our midfield is okay now ? Don't kid yourselves, we still need a higher quality because Scully and Trengove wont be able to do it themselves. A much higher skill level is required.

[Grandson of a gun 276]

Much better start.

Good work Jamie...

[RalphiusMaximus 6,088]

Goal Bennell.

[ucanchoose 1,816]

[PeterJames 46]

moloney and jones wont be in the side in 2 years

Seen many games this year?

[titan_uranus 25,045]

Watts at FF on McPharlin.

Nice goal to Bennell but needs to do more.

[Grandson of a gun 276]

Need more desire defensively Liam...

[tess 19]

Jurrah weak and lazy!!

[titan_uranus 25,045]

Need more desire defensively Liam...

In inheriting Robertson's 24 he's also inherited some of Robbo's lesser qualities. A little too selfish IMO at the moment.
