Agree. Our best footy is good enough to beat most teams but our worst is embarrassing. It's a close season so we shouldn't be seeing these blow outs. We are all over the shop. Last week Kozzie and Oliver and Nibbler were best on ground but yesterday they seemed ineffectual. A few others I mentioned like Salem and Lever didn't show up. And yes the score line flattered us but last time they beat us we had Max and Tracc in so yesterday wasn't as bad but certainly close. I don't understand our inconsistency. I don't get why those players mentioned can do so well one week and so poorly the next. Maybe a little hard on Anb Is it our recovery process or are we over training at times? We seemed snail like at times yesterday. You could tell straight away like other games this year we were not in it at all. And it can't be dismissed because we are a young team. We are not really. In fact it's players like Windsor and Mcvee that have been consistent. It's our more senior players that are inconsistent. Again we need three more wins. I hope Lever digs deep and finds some of his old form. I wish we could replace Sparrow. I mentioned earlier that I appreciate his tackling efforts but I'm starting to think that it's only because he's second to the contest. It's very rare that he ever gets votes and when he has he's never consistent. I think this is his sixth season and he really hasn't shined. He just doesn't get enough of the ball to maintain a position in the midfield but I guess we are lacking in depth so he stays. The positives are Jvr, Mcvee, Windsor and a couple of other young players that keep building. A shame some of our leaders and senior players can't also do the same. A few of them seem to be going backwards. We will see what we are made of next week I guess. Lose that and I think it's lights out for season 24. So hopefully Salem, Lever, Kozzie, Oliver, Fritta and Anb can be their best and steer us into a finals birth.

Fair point. I think it was the manner in which we were beaten. Freo missed quite a few easy shots and also took their foot off the accelerator in the last. It could have easily been another 100 points thumping. But I guess it wasn't all that bad given Tracca and Max were out. But the numbers they got to the ball and speed of entry into their forward line made us look so poor. Also players like Lever and Oliver, Kozzie and Salem didn't really seem too invested. I didn't expect to win. I mean we were thumped over there by the cellar dwelling eagles. And I think Freo are an underrated team. The clearances were embarrassing and I don't think can just be attributed to Max out. We have some tough games ahead so today have our percentage smashed again is not helpful. Mathematically we are still well and truly on the hunt but do we have the passion like emerging teams like the dogs and hawks? Lose next week and it's a fair bet that it's all over. 12 wins and a high percentage will see a finals birth. As Such we need three more wins. It's strange that we have had games we you can tell on the first ten minutes that we are not switched on. I don't know why we can be so lethargic at times. In the Carlton game we were shell shocked in the first .( The umps didn't help either) Those four points we just missed out on on that game might just be the difference. Five tough games ahead. I hope Max is back next week because that will definitely be the deciding factor.

It really makes you wonder why we have him and some others on our list. Are he and Schacke contracted for long? Did the club make a mistake in drafting these two? Seems like it. On a more positive note Billings wasn't too bad v the Dockers coming in as the sub. He's probably the better of the three on him, Hunter and McAdam. But despite our clubs excellent recruiting I on general, I feel like we have picked up quite a few that are not up to speed.

He's very good at marking at an angle....I mean he seems better when he comes from the side to mark. He isn't really a great pack mark in that he doesn't seem to have the weight to stand put in the middle of others and hold the ball. He is moved out of the way quite often. But the upside to his " lightness" is he has good agility and athleticism. I somewhat ambivalent about resigning him as he is not the forward I hoped he would be despite some occasional brilliance in the position. He is a natural defender and a good one. He just needs his confidence back . I guess with our aging backline we will see him play in his better position in the future. I guess he's been given a tough run this year. He didn't have a solid pre season. Due to the club's poor drafting he's been forced to play as fwd and now as a ruckman.

Yes Sparrow was playing. He is the perennial 15 disposals every game. I used to think his tackle rate was excellent but know I understand he won't go and get the ball

Shame we can't pay on effort in games like this .

Nice load of tripe served up yet again against a WA team. Can't wait to drop Sparrow. Gives so little every week. Quite a few no shows from some senior players. Finals look wobbly again. Weak effort today.

Great kick Milk.

Pickett not looking too interested today.

Don't kick it to Sparrow.

Good onya Lever. Stop mouthing off.

Time to time out folks. Players have. Shame we didn't turn up again. Finals birth iffy.

Losing heart in this club. They just don't seem to have enough ticker.

Goodness that was a nothing kick by Viney.

And Oliver....six disposals.

He's a gun. Hopefully won't be rucking all the time.

Plays a couple of great games on the start of season but disappears after that.

Last time we played Freo our midfield were pantsed. Same today.

May has been great.

Yep. Rivers Oliver Viney Kozzie All on you.

We will be better on the second half. Had a nice rest on the first one.

Some nice pressure.

Kozzie very quiet.

Petty can mark when he comes in from the side. Other than that he's not great.

This mob will do it to you. No leaders at all today.
