Couldn't get to the game this week, and have just finished watching the game on AFL video. We won that game far too easily. If Freo had the same kicking efficiency as us we would have won by only 20 points.

The Good

Two young ruckman.

Jordie McKenzie (and the serious man-love from the commentators)

Jack Watts. His aerobic capacity for a bloke that size is amazing.

Dan Nicholson

Howe. He reminids me a bit of a young Ken Hunter who played for the Blues in 70's and 80's.

Brad green's leadership.

Scully's ability to read the play at a stoppage and win the ball.

The Bad

Bartram's disposal when there was zero pressure.

Handball that much against most other teams and we will get murdered.

The crowd.

The Ugly

Fremantle.

The Good:

Further developement of McKenzie and Watts

12 different goalkickers.

The Bad:

Jurrah. If the delivery into our forward line was so bad for Jurrah to thrive today, how come another leading forward in Green managed 5 goals and 9 shots on goal? Youve gotta learn to demand and find your own football.

Lack of a crowd.

The Ugly:

The burger bar being shut.

The continual confusion over who Maloney, Pettard and Bartrum are on here. Who the hell are these guys?

It's an opinion.....as the end of the paragraph would suggest. Go easy friend. B)

Fair enough...i just think this is our first real test in 3 years. If the team is up for it we can win.

I've seen you post this several times now, so I assume you're not taking the piss. It isn't "Trengrove", it's "Trengove".

RM I think you are being a bit hard on "marking on Johnston"

in that second quarter he got one from a suspect free kick and another from an out of bounce on the full.

I thought he had all the luck go his way.

Agree with you on the ruckman.

If Jamar, Spencer and Fitzpatrick had not gone down on the one day we may never have seen both these guys play together.

In fact I wonder if Gawn would have played this year.

As for Carlton their day is August 6th.!!

The second Qtr was the only time their midfielders got the ball away quick, on a few occaisions. They hurt us for a bit, then it was all over.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
