Onya Hendo!

Good work by Jeffo there

Too much zoning off

Turnover in bad position

Get around him!

Hells Bells for something different

We're in. Turnout looks average but fair enough.

Rainy Sunday night in Stoke as I get on the tram for the first time this season. See you there

Why did Danger go around again? Cats are carrying him

Comeback is in play I reckon. Younger lights for Freo getting in there, Cats look knackered, Danger looks old.

Murphy Reid welcome to the big time

Tom Hawkins on commentary? Might as well just drink out of a toilet bowl.

Cop that Flogmontle

You cannot bend it both ways. Freo have used the media to their advantage in the last few years, they're coming for you now, deal with it.

I literally walked in the moment they all walked off the field...

For serious PF? How's the swell?

Been out of it this week with no idea what is happening. Was just driving down Punt Rd past the ground and turned my head to be pleasantly surprised to see the boys out there. I immediately pulled over into the river and am walking up now.

Definitely need Henderson spending a fair bit of time up forward.

Sorry to hear. Large upgrades never seem to go smoothly.

Never had a good feeling about Sydney tonight

Have you ever heard of MyRacehorse Redleg? Apparently gives people a chance to have micro-shares in a horse.

Totally agree. It was a moneyball approach that played the percentages and thanks to the electric forward pressure we were getting we forced a lot of turnover goals in 50 that year. It also limited potential turnovers in bad areas. The high press can definitely be used in an attacking way as you mentioned, just like defending deep can be used in a defensive way with high possession time and controlling tempo, maybe only occasionally hitting the opposition with a counter. Many different ways to play the game and it is fascinating when you really drill down into it. The stand rule is a funny one, in the first season I thought it helped us a bit because it threw the opposition off a bit when we setup our zone so quick but before too long they started to take off with angled run and carry or a lateral handball to a runner in motion, constantly shifting the zone. Hard to know how it is going to evolve this year but I'm hoping to see our score source from transition rise a bit. We need to develop the 'break' from the back and move it quick through the air with runners. Some things will obviously always be in our DNA.

What's with all this good community stuff? Isn't everyone else just a neighbour isolationist like myself?

Nice job Cas!

Me too, he's probably a good bloke but he grinds my gears. Not even having a soft spot for the Trojans can make me like him.
