John Crow Batty 8,892 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 Losing the battle for the wooden spoon. Quote
Purple77 1,025 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 Awww come on, we played well! Played well more often than we didn't, at least. Well done Dees :) 8 Quote
Demonstone 23,573 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 Must have a good coach if we can still win when we are as terrible as the matchday thread would suggest. 7 Quote
Bitter but optimistic 22,289 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 The old flag can fly grandly this week. Just the start we needed - team effort also 17 Quote
Accepting Mediocrity 1,418 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 Demonland logic: Round 1 2020: 26 point loss in Perth = season over, we are terrible Round 1 2021: 22 point win at the G = season over, we are still terrible. Not perfect, but plenty of positives. 15 Quote
Pickett2Jackson 3,904 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 Good to get the win. 2.6 in the last quarter though is the kind of crap that costs us finals by percentage points 3 1 Quote
P-man 13,367 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 Pretty much what I expected. An uninspiring win against a severely undermanned Freo. May and Lever will keep us in many contests this year. A Round 1 win is welcome but none of the other teams will be shaking in their boots watching that performance. 18 Quote
Ethan Tremblay 31,388 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 Top of the ladder and people will still complain... 9 1 4 Quote
Bang Bang Bang 5,875 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 Steven May and Jake Lever were incredible really. As good as I've ever seen from a defensive duo in our colours. 26 6 Quote
Lord Nev 13,512 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 Won that purely on talent rather than workrate. Clearances/stoppages and defensive running by mids still a massive issue. Lot to like about our next generation though, thought Jordon was great, Sparrow cracked in hard all day, Kozzy was a sparkplug, and Rivers and Jackson showed snippets. Lever sensational, as was his partner May. Great to see TMac find a patch of form too. ANB and Spargs leading the way for inside 50 delivery, but need their team mates to take notice. A front-running win. 16 1 Quote
gs77 4,614 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 Got the job done. Will benefit from Viney, Weid, Ben Brown etc being back. Might expect Brayshaw to improve in the coming weeks given his impacted preseason. Spargo was good to see today. Jordon very solid debut. 4 1 Quote
buck_nekkid 6,101 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 Lots of ‘learnings’ in that i reckon.... 4 1 Quote
Clintosaurus 7,953 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 4 points. Move on to next week. 9 Quote

I was his biggest critic but he's really come on 5 1 1 Quote
Sir Why You Little 37,457 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 I will take a win when 2 tall forwards are in the Grandstand 12 1 Quote
david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,084 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 Take the win but wow, it was an injury smashed Freo... 2 Quote
McQueen 17,867 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 I think we’ll improve. The skills were poor but the intent was good. Concerned about clearance after watching the Dogs and now Freo smashing us. Once a strength..... 8 1 Quote
brendan 3,458 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 Missed viney IMO without may and lever we lose that game and spargo I thought was really good for all the haters, May bog 7 Quote
