leave it to deever

Your not alone it thinking this. Given that Oliver wasn't playing, it was a bit of a no brainer. JV had a very unusual one kick, one handball and no marks tally for the entire first half. Goody is a premiership coach and maybe him being stuck in his ways served us well in 21. It didn't yesterday.

In 21, the team looked like it couldn't wait to get on the ground and play. Not now.

I disagree they are a good side on the following basis. The only top eight team they have beaten is us. All their other wins were against sides below them and outside the top 8. Now at number 8 via points, their % is well below the next 2 teams at 9 and 10. By good, if you mean they beat us, then therein lies the rub.

But 2 of those teams mentioned are also outside the top 8. I

To be honest, I have no idea. You could drop a lot of players but I don't feel we have the depth.

It's great to be positive but freo are not a good side. They lost to norf at home. What will actually happen when we play a good side is a real concern.

You could realistically drop 8 players from today. But rhe truth is there is nobody in the wings. We lack depth.

There is something nqr with us for sure. I remember delighting in 21, how they would all come down the race to the start of each game, laughing and enjoying themselves. Not anymore on both sides of the fence.

I hear you. ( the aids are in).

I said Jv not Jvr. Cheers.

It was unfortunate in a game when we really need Jv to step up that he couldn't. We'll done Freo for tagging out his effectiveness. It's not often Jv gets 2 touches in a half but probably the worst time for it to happen. I don't know why Chandler or Kozzie weren't given a run on the ball.

Does the term premiership hangover apply the 2nd year after as well? I guess so. This touted list of ours doesn't seem recognizable.

Clarry when back.

I do agree. I also think May has dropped off to. What was once touted as the games best 2 defenders combo seems to have gone the way of our 2 best ruckman, our forward line and our midfield has now seems to give us the quaddie.

I remember marks. I think.

That loss hirt on so many levels. 1. Norf beat freo at Optus. 2. Captain and Co captain were ordinary again. 3. May and Lever were too. 4. So many previously good players like Langdon, Spargo and Anb having really poor seasons. 5. Our forward line a complete shambles again. 6. The main one. Confirms what we mostly suspected after the sun's game this year, that we are very ordinary and will make up the numbers. That our window has slammed shut.

Yea but that would require a decision from the coach though.

Apologies to all Dees fans who bought tickets.

Don't worry Jaded. I got lampooned for starting a thread how many wins needed to make finals. Apparently the title was short changing us. But I guess I did say to wcw pregame there was no way a loss today would happen. You were right. But now it has tipped over. We stank from the coach down today. Especially the seasoned players. But the writing was on the wall against the suns.

He's not alone.

Gunna lose next week anyway so let a few heads roll

It's like Goody freezes.

But don't worry cos Jvr will crash the pack.

Smart coaching by freo. They new Oliver out was big and they totally tagged out viney to 2 touches for a half. Tmac is cooked. Jvrs too young. Chandler too. Lever is not someone I recognise. Langdon , May and Anb the same. Spargo over rated. Max seems to have lost his mojo. No flag for us. I'm dreading when we play the Pies.

Why would he change anything now if he didn't last week?
