Need to come out hungry after half time, or else Ross the Toss will just shut the game down if they continue to hold a comfortable lead.

Same margin as the beginning of the quarter basically.....we're doin ok

we are still in this.

Great the way the team has locked down

It was looking very ugly early.

Big Half Time Roosy

We must outscore them in the 3rd

Wow at watts lack of effort. That last play his guy was double the distance he was to the ball and the guy tackles him as he picks up the ball... Get some fin intensity watts.. Killing me! So disappointed right now with him.

I'm so happy we're happy with being down by 20 points.

We are not playing badly, they are just so much better than us.

I'd say we are breaking even in defence, we just can't get our hands on the ball at clearances.

If this margin stays at 20, we can say it's been a good day for us.

No shame in losing to the probable premiers.

I'm pretty proud of the boys so far. Freo came out breathing fire and THIS time we didn't allow it to get too far ahead of us. We worked hard and were able to hit the scoreboard a bit, something we would have struggled to do in previous years.

There is still room for improvement too. Freo could well come out and turn the screws on us in the second half, but if you can't see that we're a far better side than last year then you're blind. We might lack some polish at times and turn it over when we shouldn't but we finally run both ways and we have guys who can apply constant pressure.

Fingers crossed for the second half.

Shut up troll.

As a wise man once said, "Give me possessions then I'll shut up"

i just cant believe how much we have improved in two pre-seasons.

After that pummeling at the opening we would have gone into our shells and been down 10 goals at quarter time and end up losing by 150 points in 2013.

How many weeks will Pav get for nosing Garland?

Would be like getting hit with a chisel.

Fremantle use every opportunity when they play at the G as finals preparation. They have limited opportunity in actually playing at the Mcg. For us to be within 4 goals at half time just by looking at the stats I think is a fair achievement.

I love JKH but he needs to take the first option more.

Garlett has been terrific, Brayshaw looks the goods and the umpires must have got terrific odds on Fremantle.

Why can't anyone tackle fyfe?

Scared of giving away a free?

Interesting that Frei have only won 3 out of 8 quarters in the second half....Will they tire....

is anyone [censored] playing on Fyfe?!

3 players have been tried and failed. He is next level. Absolutely insane how good he is.

Don't speak too soon

They've beaten the best teams in the comp, blown most of their games away by half time.

We're coming off being the worst team of all time, a quarter of our best 22 are out, they're full strength.

We're getting smashed stat-wise but we're putting up a fight.

If you're upset about this, you need a better hobby.

Is Pavlich done?

Scared of giving away a free?

Ok?

That 50 given to Freo was a gem. Never seen that before, so if you get a free now just run back fast at the nearest opposition player and claim interference! If you don't mind umpire!

Exactly. It's frustrating; I'm tearing what's left of my hair out and trying not to turn in to ragey football dad. Everyone wants to win, or at least think we could win, but the team can only do their best. I believe they are, they are just being badly outclasses, but still hanging on.

I can live with it.

How good are Salem's hands? Sticky fingers, just does not fumble.

serious mate?

He has been creating contests, and spoiling etc.

Don't decide before the game even starts that Watts is doing bad things, because it clouds your view when the game actually starts.

Pavlich in track-suit and out for game!

Let's go Dees.

Pavolich has the tracksuit on its been reported....

Seriously this sort of [censored] is getting old. Just. [censored]. off.
