That one has a very simple explanation. Kicking accuracy, we should've been 5 goals on top of them at 3 QTR time.

Which will continue to be our undoing going forward just as it has in the past.
Look at Collingwood last night.
You just know they aint gonna miss.
Us on the other hand .......

Good sides take their opportunities.

    We’re going to have to be at our absolute best on KB. Massive pressure is the only way to beat them.

    And kick accurately.

    People are underestimating the Pies' game plan and how it has changed. They don't rely on contested ball; they rely on holding position at both ends of the ground and going heavy on turnovers. Guys like Sidebottom and the Daicos brothers drag their opponents into the contest, then back out of it, thus becoming free and unopposed to move the ball with speed. You really need to play the Pies man-to-man, not giving them free space to move in. It will be interesting to see how we play against them.

    Hard at contest, clean with hands, goals not points, let them chase us, our think our style stacks up. Long down the line is death against them. They force you into that so you gotta go at times but you’ve also gotta hold, I think that’s what we’re doing!

    Two results our way this weekend so far in the "Impossible Dream" Quest. Today's games are again pivotal with a Freo loss and and an upset win by the Tigers over GWS very useful.

    Not sure about Swans v Suns. Head says Suns simply to further remove Sydney as a finalist but for the absolute optimist (not me) you could make a case for a Suns loss

    Yes, we have been doing that a lot more, not quite there yet with skill levels, but it has also allowed us to move the ball into the forward line with different options.

    Alex Pearce is a close second. One example: Rory Lobb’s first game as a Bulldog, in the centre circle before the game even started Pearce instigated a roughing-up session on Rory and of course the other nearby Dockers joined in. What sort of an example is that to set for your young players?

    Suns are well off so far. hopefully they can find their groove. freo a direct competitor for a finals sport so don't want them to win.

    Freo vs Suns; Corey Wagner is one of Freos best so far!?!?! Couldn't believe it. Didn't he play for us years and years ago?

    conditions have turned this into a slugfest. its 50/50 game now

    As much of a slog as it is I am finding it entertaining. Fremantle are an incredibly frustrating team, big gap between their best and worst.

    those 2 freo goals to end the 3rd quarter have them in the box seat.

    we'll see what the suns are made of now

    Spot on.

    I have only seen long highlights of last night’s game, but what i saw was incredible, they had spare players everywhere, down the spine

    It was a Horrible Sight

    Freo's defence and 2nd efforts in the wet have been really good. They are getting an extra player to most contests.

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
