Not to worry , Freo back to normal ;)

If Freo aren't tanking I'll give the game away.

- not playing best side 

- skilled players missing easy set shots (debatable)

- non checking of Tigers forwards

Nothing short of a disgrace.

Luke Darcy just said he wonders whether Neale will want to come back to Victoria. Fair dinkum. That bloke has absolutely no idea. As thick as two planks too. I hate this Channel 7 commentary team. Richo is alright, but probably shouldn't do Richmond games and everyone else is pathetic.

Freo are totally and utterly pants.  I just can't see how a quality side can just dissolve so quickly.  Gotta be the least number of people I've seen at Subiaco too, or so it seems on TV.

Can see them finishing last, cleaning up in the draft and then miraculously bouncing back next year though. Hopefully they linger down there for a bit.

Try Meth Coke circa 2008 just 2 years after winning a flag. They dissolved quick smart and were down picking up first round draft picks. Past masters of the Tank.

And Neale is averaging 33.3 disposals for the year, coming off an average of 27.5 last season.

Still cant work out how they rule Harley bennell out for the rest of the year with a calf. We aren't even half way through the season yet. Sandilands wont return and Pav should not have played on. Now the tigs fans will be up and about talking finals again.

Freo are just atrocious now. Be it in draft or trading, they've just driven their list into a hole, since their best 22 has been dismantled (and gotten too old) they just have no one decent coming through, particularly key backs and forwards

20,000 at the Freo vs Richmond game. Wow.

The weather was cyclonic! They said it was actually their best ticket sales for a home game all year, most people stayed home though.

Yeah, I heard that, but the fact remains they didn't turn up.

They say tanking comes from the coaches and not the players but the players don't seem very interested

Nah ET, if I'm right, the great news is he's gone. It'll be his third fine this year and it puts him over a $2000 trigger and he gets a week (somebody better check it though)

You are right RTG.

just mentioned on Fox Sports if he cops a fine he will get a week due to his priors!

Robbie Gray that is. Edit

Collingwood player just blatantly runs straight for the line and runs the ball over, not even trying to keep it in.

Not called deliberate. Farcical.

He obviously wasn't wearing red & blue Saber

They are gone, their Footy Manager just cracked a joke about them owning the 1st Draft Pick this year. 

$500k fine and suspended officials coming up.

- Purple on The Saturday Rub said yesterday he thought Harley's problems were bigger than just "the calf" but wasn't prepared to speculate on air. Now I know poleople on here hate Purple and yes anyone can throw darts but you combine that with Ross's comments last night that "we knew Harley came with baggage/indiscretions" and you can only come up with one answer.

Totally agree, some of the defensive efforts and shots on goal....Had a mate over last night and we ended up turning it off. That wasn't football that was crap. There was no effort at all at times, comical. It seems as though some players have simply lost their ability.

- Barlow being taught a lesson? Has now racked up massive numbers for a second consecutive week in the WAFL, will he play next week? I had no issue with him being dropped initially but considering how Freo are travelling and how he responded last weekend he should of come back in. Last nights game was winnable for them but hey let's give him another week.

 

Freo are tanking, football on QLD is in trouble but let's all worry about mid season rule changes and the possibility of a ten team final series with wildcard entries. All will be forgotten today after the Giants steam roll the Doggies.

Giants over Pups arm. Gee

In the GWS game the exact same thing just happened as what did with the Petracca review.

Ball went back to the centre then they called the ball touched and the footage was as equally inconclusive as the Petracca decision.

What the hell is going on?

Might be a strange comment, but I wonder if Patton would be worth a call for full back?

I understand there is a review by the video team of every score, no matter how obvious it is. Then, if they see something, they tell the umpires to wait.

Still has to be conclusive evidence though. Not sure they had that for Petracca's.

So the Goal Umpires are now effectively redundant. 

Merely there for theatrical purposes..

It wasn't conclusive in the GWS one either.

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
