Wiped 100k off his contact tonight 😛 With them announcing Rivers and Mcvee extensions, hopefully they finish it with Kozzies signature.

This should’ve been a percentage building win against a loser club. Instead we’ve [censored] the bed and no one is putting their hand up to try and stem the tide. This has been a game lost by poor leadership and laziness. Our worst loss since 2019-2020.

Big time. Could’ve gone top of the ladder with a win. Now we’ll likely drop to 6th and be amongst a big group currently fighting for 4th-9th spot. Very disappointing day for the club.

Ducked into a tackle and got concussed.

That’s pretty much game over. What a pathetic showing this has been today. This could be our worst loss in 2-3 years. And against this loser club. What a dagger in the heart.

[censored] first half Dees. Lift and get the job done. We’re losing to a loser team with no forward line! Brayshaw our only player who can hold his head high after the first half.

Playing like trash. A long way to go, but disappointing first quarter. Our backline struggles without Lever to direct. He’s the onfield general and best leader we have.

Great news! He’s a talented and versatile youngster with a big future ahead of him. Glad to lock away a WA talent and tick another box to keep our next core group together. Now just need Kozzies signature!

He was a brilliant player but he’s cooked now. He’s a shell of the superstar from last decade. His body can’t handle the sport anymore. Pass.

I'm an 80s child and can only remember from about 1990 onward. FB: Lever, May, Jetta HB: B Lovett, Neitz, S Febey C: Johnstone, T Viney, Tingay HF: Lyon, Schwarz, Yze FF: Davey, Jakovich, Farmer R: Gawn, Petracca, Oliver Int: Stynes, Bruce, Fritsch, Green Apologies: Jones, J White, Robertson, Jurrah, Salem, J Viney, Langdon, Junior McDonald, Whelan.

Someone did a breakdown late last season. There’s a near direct correlation for Doggies losing matches when they lose the free kick count or win it by less than 5.

Outcome is Crisp has to apologize and do an education program. I’m sure that will stop him being a druggie sex pest though eh 🤣 Pathetic

Jordan is an interesting one. Sparrow has higher upside based on his physical attributes, but Jordan is outperforming him yet receiving the chop. I understand team balance plays a part in it, but gotta reward form. Wouldn’t blame Jordan for reportedly putting contracts talks on hold and looking elsewhere.

The drugs part of it is the less concerning part. The references to "young girls" and following comments are the more concerning part. Wonder how deep the police can go with this stuff. Anyway I won't go into it further, but it's not great for the Pies to have players like DeGoey and Crisp both treating or objectifying women like this...

I take back everytime negative I said. Well done boys! Finally put the swans to the sword!

All falling apart. What a disappointment.

[censored] poor second quarter. Midfield needs to lift around the stoppages in the premiership quarter and they’ll beat us again. Cmon Dees let’s beat these buggers finally!

So essentially what Brisbane did to us last week.

Congrats on 150 games to Clayton Oliver! Clarry is already the best Demon in my lifetime. Scary to think he's only 25 and still has so much elite footy ahead of him. He's the best inside midfielder in my lifetime too. His quick hands and ability to absorb tackles and dispose cleanly is unmatched by anyone. Some of his groundball gets while on the move are just [censored]. His toughness and ability to win contested ball is unmatched by anyone. Top 5 in the league for tackles too, so he works hard both ways and is very very consistent. Back to back coaches MVP awards puts him alongside Gary Ablett Jnr and ahead of Dusty, Dangerfield, Fyfe, Bontempelli etc. When his career is finished, you'd look at that and say it's right. If he didn't have gun team mates like Petracca, Gawn, Brayshaw etc stealing Brownlow votes off him, he'd have won 2-3 Brownlows by now. He's the most consistent and hard midfielder in the league. Coaches would dream of having him in their side. He'd be first picked league wide. Here's hoping Clarry can stay healthy and fit and give us 150 more! Choo Choo!

Fans aren't expecting JVR to be a messiah, but they are keen to see him as he's ready for AFL level. If he doesn't get game time this year, he'll likely head back to WA IMO. He has kicked bags of 6 goals, 5 goals, 4 goals at Casey. He kicked 37 goals in his first year in the VFL, which put him 7th in the entire league, and with more goals than many other AFL listed players, including our own Josh Schache. He's 195cms and 96kgs. He's now bigger than Tomlinson, May, Lever. He's the same height as TMac, and same weight as Petty. He's built his body up and is AFL ready. You're right we shouldn't be expecting him to dominate or play much ruck in his early AFL games. His VFL form has been strong though, and he is ready for his chance at AFL. He's overdue really. On form and potential, he should be in the team instead of TMac as a KPF, but the selection committee is poor and often plays favourites and doesn't reward form. Back to this game though, I can't see JVR getting a debut unfortunately if TMac is still not listed as injured, despite moving like the titanic and having zero impact. The Swans midfield is probably the best two way midfield in the game and has good versatility with players like Mills, Parker, Heeney all capable of playing vastly different roles when required. I'm expecting Warner to have a 25 disposal 3 goal 3 Brownlow votes type game. He's been in outstanding the past 12 months and is probably still underrated by the general football public. Goal kicking mids are gold. We struggle to contain those quick players and need Hibberd back to sit on Papley too. Tipping Swans by 21 points.

Their confidence is warranted. They've beaten us in 17 out of the past 20 encounters. Our record against them is the worst of any team and frankly it's embarrassing. We are absolutely their bunnies and I expect this weekend to be no different unfortunately. We love to beat them and get the monkey off our back. They have a mental hold over us and we need to break it.

Concussion. 12 day mandatory out. JVR has to come in. It’s his time now surely. With Gawn out and TMac limping to retirement, he’s next in line and has good form in the VFL.

Freo are rat****
