Haven't watched the game due to being overseas, what's happened to Salem? Says he's injured, AGAIN?! 

Have said nothing on tv about it so far. He was in the midfield and then disappeared so possible. 
He is too fragile to play midfield. 

Christ! Lever has had a mare

Lever has had one of the all times (for what he's impacted / contributed to).

 

Pickett for his lack of

I am not saying it’s working. Or a good strategy. Just answering the question. 
 

Midfield and defense should be ashamed of this performance. Senior players an absolute disgrace with lack of accountability and defensive effort. 
No excuses and I love May but Jesus stop carrying on like a pork chop, you’ve been embarrassed today. 

Yep, I gotcha.

We seem to be quite amazing at coming up with a strategy and sticking with it ALL game even when it's clearly not working.

10 mins left and there's still loose Freo players everywhere in their f50

It's that same old question mark about our lack of flexibility and adapting mid game if something is not working.

Hasn’t been mentioned on the TV. Will let you know when I hear.

This was never a team that was going to challenge for the flag. I had us making the 8 even with Gawn and Trac. Gonna be tough from here on out.

After really fighting hard last week, did not expect us to be as soft as we have been today. 

Billings with 15 and a goal in a Q has been better than most 

Good goal Jack

I'm not sure what it says about our steam when Billings has already had more possessions in a half than about 3/4 of our side.

Also I think we can dispel this is our 2nd home [censored]. Yes I know the significance of the ground but we are hopeless here.

For what exactly?

It was going to be hope for the rest of the season Murdoc. I'd like to change it to 'hope I've still got a little Scotch left from last week'

Not that it makes any difference to the result but why does Sparrow continue to 'walk on water'? Seriously, when was the last decent game he has played? 2021 GF? So did everyone. Please don't give me 'he's playing a role'. [censored]. OK, midfield cupboard is fairly bare but make an example this bloke. Promote Brown and let Tom kick off the dew at Casey.

And too slow off the mark.  Too often second to the ball.  He is simply NOT a mid fielder in any sense of the role and brings nothing to the table other than handing the oppo another opportunity at first use.

Another terrible coaching decision from Simon today.

Dunno, bit we look very poor right now.

Fritsch gets the same tackle he gave earlier but no free 

Our shape around stoppage has been diabolical today along with everything else.

Div 7 type positional awareness.

Turners confidence looks shot after three goals last week

Because something something he plays good defensive rubbish

Lever embarrassing -  leaked goals all day.  Honestly can’t believe how lose he’s been and when he has won the ball he’s turned it over consistently 

How was that not blocking against Walter's

Yes Turner, handball it back to Fritta so he can get gang tackled. 

If a bloke of Turners size can’t mark he shouldn’t be in the team. That dropped mark was amateur hour
