Freo back in this And the dogs do have history of collapsing at Optus

Freo embarrassing themselves reckon the crowd needs to lift as well

There have been a lot of reasons cited today for why we lose at the G (our record is bad no denying it) but the idea that the players have a problem playing in front of crowds there is laughable. What is it exactly about the crowds at the G that somehow affects these players?

Freo atrocious. unbelievably bad

they went alright in front of the big crowd in the granny last year

Pathetic first quarter from Freo here

we finished second on the ladder with the toughest fixture of any team. Hardly dismantled and exploited. Our players aren't in top form and we need to find our intensity again

Given how accommodating the Brisbane defence is perhaps debuting JVR isn't such a bad idea

Won us a flag . Just sayin

Perhaps the club could consider free booze to attract the fans in. Will help loosen up the vocal chords as well

We should copy Collingwood's loading program. they have been energiser bunnies for 3 months now

Good. Was one of our better performers last night. should probably be switched back into the middle and Gus back to the wing

I'd give this 2 likes if i could

What are you on about? Who said anything about good enough is near enough. There was enough wrist slitting in the bad old days and it didn't get us anywhere The club is well run and managed. The FD know what they are doing and have delivered a flag. We have champion players and can bounce back. This thread. Seriously

This is intense

Gary rowen would be the last man i would have predicted to pack mark and kick the clutch goal

what odds extra time

Brad Close has butchered 2 great opportunities going inside 50 but he has redeemed himself with that goal

Pies great at chasing a 4th quarter deficit to win. Wonder what they're like holding a lead to win

the goal kicking has gone from the ridiculous to the sublime

pies have towelled up Hawkins. no impact at all

I'm hoping the cats get up Swans will beat the pies and we'll beat the cats in the prelim

Intense pressure but skills pretty poor this game. Both teams very beatable I'm starting to feel better watching this

Jamie Elliot missing very gettable goals is a bad sign for the pies. He's their most reliable kick for goal

Witnessed it first hand
