Some serious sling tacklidge there.

At this point I'm happy to get ugly wins all the way to the bye and hone our beautiful football in the back half. Yes, I'm sure everyone here will take an ugly win over Collingwood.

I hear ya, my best friend at Kinder who I never see anymore was a Dees fan so there you go! Did Everton play a warm up game against South Melbourne at Lakeside on that tour? My dad seemed to think so but he isn't the biggest Soccer fan so I don't trust his memory that much!

Saturday is old news to me now and I'm ready to re-load again. My choice to go is also not based on disappointed and more about going no matter what, after a win or a loss. It would be disappointing if the result turned people away from a premo Fri night timeslot. I expect a scrap as well and won't be tearing my hair out if there isn't 8 goals on the board by quarter time from us, it's a two team sport and they have been bashed around a lot in the media lately so they have something to prove. If people can, get down there. The team needs us.

I'm sure it was in the back of most of our minds late in the game on Sat.

Masters of the great escape. Yeah I see the comparisons, also always thought West Ham was similar.

I'm not as worried about this one. Bad days in front of the sticks happen and the conditions were a little blustery, for 10.12 to be our most inaccurate score in ages it's quite a testament to the coaching. If it were to continue then there would be a problem but I can see it going back to what we've been used to so far this season pretty quickly.

What Freo do well, they do really well. A very well drilled side with a well functioning back six. Didn't quite think they'd have the fire power to get us especially considering our ability to score lately but they played really well.

Yeah that's the good stuff!

A good post but I don't think I fit the profile of any of that. I don't viciously attack the players or the club and I never ever said that people more controlled are less passionate. It's kind of funny by the way how most of the people who have been level headed have admitted to venting frustrations at the game but because they refrained to post any of those frustrations on an internet message board, that made them more 'controlled'. For what it's worth I didn't throw my toys out of the cot at the G, I didnt abuse our players as they walked off, I didn't piff a nearly finished glass of beer at a Freo fan doing the Freo chant like the person two rows behind me did at the final siren, I'm a very controlled fan and going onto a message board to write a few lines doesn't change that. Its been 24 hours now, II'm happy to move on.

Let's hope so

My father is an architect and always used to talk about Frank Lloyd Wright when I was growing up. A famous quote of his that I go back to often: "You can use an eraser on the drafting table or a sledgehammer on the construction site.” The rationale being that mistakes cost much more in effort and money late in the process.

It wouldn't be ideal but I agree it could change everything in a heartbeat.

Certainly rates himself a bit.

Bit of a shame with Port but what can you do.

I can still feel the movement of the emery board.

I'm going to start screenshotting then at the quarter time breaks.

They may well be. Is it possible to get quarter by quarter team stat breakdowns? Never been able to find it anywhere.

Can't tell if this is a compliment or an insult but thanks either way!

I don't usually get too worried about crowd numbers either as long as they are generally ok but yesterday really disappointed me. Timeslots were regularly a gripe last year for some not attending but then we get presented with an old fashioned Saturday 2:10pm game and we bottled it. It was pretty embarrassing.

Great post Jaded. This is what makes the forum tick, you'd never see an "Is Kim Jong Un the right guy?" Thread in the North Korea forum and it would be boring.

Yep, I agree. We don't want the measured voices getting shouted down, I certainly don't despite venting my frustrations. Keep doing what you do Binman.

Never ever walk back after a mark with your back to goal, one of the biggest cardinal sins in football.

The main criticism on the boards seems to be about clearances and centre clearances. Looking at the stats though we've beaten Walyalup in contested ball 157 to 141 and pretty much matched them in clearances. Are we possibly looking at the wrong area as the issue right now? Was this game more about the lack of execution, cohesion and clean possession? Need Binman's take on this because I'm finding it very difficult to figure out.

Who's Sunscore? Did she work at the local IGA?
