Alarm bells should’ve been ringing for the coaches at half time. We cannot win a shoot out. We are a defensive team that controls games. When teams are able to get a look, we’re powerless to stop them. We’ve lost our aura and teams lick their lips coming up against us. Our elite fitness of last year has deserted us. We’re being overrun repeatedly now. Our midfield needs recalibration to become more defensive. On form, we can’t win the flag, and time is running out to recalibrate and find winning form.

[censored] 2022. Footy has not been enjoyable this year.

If we lose this I’ll be [censored] ropeable

Pay Brayshaw and get rid of Jackson.

Kozzieeeeee

Standard Jackson post bye effort there. Playing a man down with him out there at present.

Midfield to fire up here. Get it done Dees.

If we can get a best 22 player and first round picks I’d be doing the deal without a second thought. He’s a below average player now and I doubt he’ll ever be a top 10 in the league player that Freo will pay him as. Let’s use the hype to improve our list again.

English is killing it. Gawn going ok. Jackson a waste of space, he’s basically like playing a man down recently. The contract stuff has preoccupied him.

This is on the coaches not adjusting the game style at half time. We don’t win shoot outs. We’re a defensive team who controls games.

This type of game doesn’t suit us. Even though we were up at half time alarm bells would’ve been ringing for the coaches. We’re struggling to hold on here and need to slow this game down.

Get Jackson out of the ruck and away from the play. He’s woeful at the moment.

We miss Hunt down back to help with ground balls and quicker smalls.

Great to be up at half time but this isn’t our usual style of play and I reckon Goody would be having a stern word to them at half time. Need to lock down the corridor to stop the momentum swings and control the game.

Keep it up boys. Let’s break that ****house club once and for all!

Big sexual Sam Weideman with his second goal of the quarter you ripper!

Good first quarter by Weid. He’s shown aggression and provided a strong contest in the ruck and up forward. That goal is good reward for effort.

Love Petty. He’s become a real accomplished defender and has a presence about him.

[censored] the Dogs are the worst club in the league. Absolute scum. Need to withstand their pressure here and reload through the middle.

[censored] it. Bloody hell Port you chokers

Cmon Port! Gotta score

Chandler kicks his third. He’s too good for VFL level, but hasn’t clicked at AFL level yet. He should be given opportunity for a few weeks like Bedford had. Maybe too late in the season now for him, but clearly something to work with there.

If Lever is a late out also, could we see Tomlinson come in and Petty sent forward?

Bedford is in that 20-30 ranked bracket on our list. That means unless he improves further or we lose someone like Kozzie, he won't get a consistent game for our club the next few years. He'd be in the 10-20 bracket at other weaker clubs though, so he's well within his right to seek opportunity elsewhere. Strong clubs lose players along the journey. Losing Bedford won't really hurt us. Losing a Brayshaw type would. If Bedford decides to leave, the trade would get done for a token 3rd-4th round pick with a thanks for your service and good luck.

Believe we tried both Mitch Lewis and Ben King. Both were long shots and extended at their current clubs.
