The way he got bodied out of contests was concerning. I get he is basically a lead up forward but he was restrained by Freo's defence continually. Much of it illegal, yet when Hunt got in a wrestle with Lobb - free kick Lobb. BB seems woefully out of form

Great news. Wow.

Gee lets think hard??? May goes down, Petty does an ankle, TMac not playing and their talls are marking everything that is going their way. Can't for the life of me think of why Weid was sent down back. Maybe because he was ripping it up in the forward line.....

4 guys back this week! Langdon, Harmes, Salem and TMac Bewdy

Not one premiership player amongst the Freo team. Just sayin....

Nope

Seems the Shinboner spirit has turned into a slaughterhouse. Long may it continue. I have a long memory. (I was spat on by an 80yo female North supporter at Arden Street in the 70s!)

Was probably more front on contact alto they paid it as dangerous I have to say I thought it was totally legal

Ryder is a gun. What is he now? 38? 40? Amazing

Quite good as a small pressure forward. The second question? Meh.

Dunstan can find the pill but his disposal is actually quite poor. Handballs to feet etc. I can see why the Saints weren't sold on him. That said he is a more than useful fill in for an inside mid.

Hang on I thought it was Freo that was best to challenge us? I can't keep up.

30+ with recurring calf injuries? Most likely

People choose to support the club in different ways. If we have 40000 turning up to games and 20000 members you would still be complaining. People have lives and footy is simply not their no 1 priority. Games at different timeslots mean it is often hard to plan for. Playing the 18th placed team at a crudhole of a stadium is not conducive to big crowds.

Dunstan can't got a target

7 tackles inside 50 is v good

The one change I would like to see is Petracca. I wish he would change his boots. Watched his highlights package and he slipped over on at least 4 occasions whilst kicking. I mean WTF is that? Its infuriating.

Clarkson used to do this all the time when the Hawks were dominating, He would get them to do 2 minute drills, one behind the ball, an extra at the stoppage etc. That stuff doesn't happen by accident and its hard to train for. Having the luxury of doing it in games that you control is a Godsend. Goody doesn't care about smashing teams by 100pts. What benefit do you get out of that? Aside from a little percentage, very little. He would rather teach the team various scenarios that will be needed at some point. He also knows that the flag isn't won in May and its about getting there in the fittest possible state and at the top 2 on the ladder.

They had 12 premiership players playing. They weren't a VFL side. Weakened yes but not a VFL side.

We got Mitch Clark who was going home to Freo until we 'stole' him from under their noses

You forgot that he launched himself at Foley, had both feet off the ground, tried to turn him side on and let go before he hit the ground. All in one motion. Quite an achievement actually. No way he should get suspended for that.

Said in the pre game thread that we're at least a 3 goal per qtr better side and any less would be a wasted opportunity so the result was about par for mine west coast brought a lot of heat and we handled it well

I hear you but can you name a similar style player in the last 10/15 years? Goodes maybe? there aren't too many

There's 4 million more people in Vic than WA

I just want to make sure these nighclubbing ferals don't give our boys Covid
