Great work by the senior players. The new kids are finding it tougher this week.

That's ok. It's good.

Pretty off Lever. Doesn't do anything. 

Chandler likewise, I've been a defender but has has a very hum ho pre season

Woewodin school boy turnover

If JVR is injured then we are in big trouble!

Teams seem to score too easy on us. As always, our turnovers are costly. 

How is Adams on an AFL list?

And ate these the world's dumbest commentators, Picket I'd playing limited game time because he's suspended for the first few weeks!

Good contested footy in the third quarter. Oliver in everything, Gawn dominating, Tracc adding some class, Viney in and under. It’s the old crew back and humming with some cameo help from the newbies. Now if I am a “well paid” Head of Football I might be asking myself at this, admittedly, it’s very early in the season, but where is the value add of the “very highly paid” Coaching Department? 

Me I don’t see any added value at this early stage! Hopefully we are holding our cards. 

Another goal against Adams ... nothing against him, still learning etc., but bizarre for me that Tom Mac or someone else wasn't included.

Ffs, we’re not playing Kossie cause he won’t be there in R1, do your research dumb ***e

Can someone tell these commentators that kosi is suspended for the first few games ? Usual commentary standard...

What has happened to Bowey's disposal?

Bowey having a shocker.

The number of basic handballs and kicks that have fallen short is alarming and slows our ball movement down. A lot of them aren’t pressure related either. 

Bowey poor today

I’m pretty sure that Fritta was dealing with more than one injury for a large part of the season, and that could have accounted for his appearing disinterested.

Fritta has only recently become 100% injury/niggle free since preseason 2022, at which time began a long period of something troubling him to varying degrees at all times. 

Clever ploy by F.D    totally outfoxed Freo...  they clearly have no idea of our abilities  ;)

Well done Dees 

Probably an element of truth to it..... but what element  i wonder 🤷‍♂️

Those who think Bowey is good with disposal… think again!

No matter how many pre-seasons he does, Viney' disposal never improves! 

Salem has been very good

Disco lives!

Kozzy is all class. We're going to miss him.

Our set shot kicking has been putrid.

A Fritsch bad day!

Clarry and Tracc have been massive positives 

But not sure about Ed and Rivers as centre bounce midfielders 

I don’t think Ed has the power and evasiveness to play the role, and I think unfortunately Rivers has been found out against the better midfields (despite his strong showing against weaker ones)
