Still over 10 mins to go. Keep going boys!

Strange game where Ed Langdon comfortably leads our tackle count!?!

Come on boys. Lift the intensity, get the four points and move on from this shamozzle!

Stop flying Kozzie ffs!

Kozzie poor the last fortnight since returning to the team. Gives away such careless free kicks and his effort is way down. When you see Petty sprinting past him to chase you know something’s off.

100%. Both played centre square with great effect in earlier matches. We trained Kozzie with the mids over summer. Why is he suddenly not being thrown in there anymore where we’re desperate for a spark? He’s not laying tackles inside 50 atm, so try and get him into the game by moving him further up the ground.

Even if we get up and win from here, we’ve got some serious issues on every line now basically. Our midfield contest work needs to be fixed asap. It’s our one wood, so we need to stop losing it there as a starting point!

Our tall forward stocks are in tatters. We have a few promising kids for the future, but for the now while we’re in our premiership window, it’s dire. BBrown body is cooked. Tmac body is cooked. JVR is not ready. Schache is a depth player. Jefferson isn’t ready. Petty isn’t a forward.

Shouldn’t be getting a game when there’s are guys like Dunstan and Harmes wracking up 40 touches in the reserves. Selection panel not rewarding form is so frustrating!

Umpires doing us no favors but we’re playing horribly tonight. This season is looking shaky. Our one wood is our contest work, and we’ve lost that more times than not this year and losing it again tonight.

Kozzie is in [censored] form. Needs to get back to basics with his defensive pressure and crumbing and stop the lazy Hollywood [censored].

Lazy two way running tonight. This season so far has been our worst defensively since first half of 2020. We’re playing seriously average football recently.

Wake up you lazy bastards. You’re getting toweled up by a bottom four team!

Our defense is well down this year. As a whole team we struggle to fill the right spaces like we did in 2021. We also still lack a quality small lockdown defender and I don’t think Mcvee is it.

He was dropped.

Laurie officially listed as sub.

Big time. He's our onfield general. Even when he's not in the best form, he's organising the troops and filling space that stifles oppositions ball movement. He usually winds up with a horse voice by the end of the match from barking orders! From a leadership and onfield coaching perspective, he's our most important player. Our next captain IMO. It's a shame he got injured. Hopefully it doesn't impact his form too much, as he was in All Australian form to start the year.

That's definitely the most memorable part of that meatheads career. He's one of those faux tough guys that starts fights against unsuspecting opponents who are vulnerable etc. He's a slug. I don't boo our ex players like Frawley and Rivers. They left in the late stages of their career to try and find some success before their career was over. Can't begrudge that and I'd have done the same in their shoes. I did boo Scully though. That was purely based on him lying to Stynes on his death bed etc. That rubbed me the wrong way. Anyhow back on Freo, it's looking like we'll wind up with pick 6ish IMO. Jefferson, pick 6ish and 24ish for Jackson is a win for us IMO.

Love this match every year and the ceremony beforehand. We’ll win comfortably tonight.

Very tall already! Hopefully another Dees fan who gets to live the dream.

They’re currently missing the second most games through injury in the league. I just find it humorous that some on here are writing them off in round 6 when they’ve got an enormous injury list at present. Not sure if it’s an over reaction or a lack of knowledge about other teams. They’re still in the 8 and will likely finish top 4-6 still even with this poor run of health. We belted them when they had a healthier list. Nothing should be taken away from that win. We were simply too good!

Are posters here unaware how horrific Sydney’s current injury list is? They’re missing an entire spine and more of talls. They’re not just rubbish, they have half a team missing. Off the top of my head they’re missing Rampey T Mccartin P Mccartin Hickey Buddy Amarty Reid Take away the Full back, centre half back, third tall defender, ruckman, centre half forward, tall forward/second ruck and full forward out of any team and they’ll capitulate. Given their injury list, tonight’s belting is completely expected and until they get some talls back the Swans are in for a world of pain.

He’s the worst ruckman in the league.

3rd or 4th round pick probably. He's a pick 33 who hasn't placed in a BnF or anything of note to increase his value. We'll realistically get a pick in the 50s-60s for him. For JJ's sake, he'd be better off moving to another club. He's performing better than others getting a game at AFL level every week, yet is being bounced between VFL and sub. He's capable of AFL level and should be getting a game every week. If we can't offer him that, then he's better off leaving. Can't keep them all!

Surprised to see Cotchin is still playing this year. I assumed he retired already… his numbers and impact back this up!
