Nothing to get excited about in that team announcement other than JVR

Maybe we're trialling BBB as a back up ruck?

Didn't Schofield retire early due to multiple concussions?

.

They played the same way against us last year at the G. Fast movement, big pressure, double team in the ruck, out marked us in their fwd 50, dominated centre clearance. There were no surprises from Freo on Sunday. Only from us. Bad surprises. Poor skills, poor coaching, bad positioning, lazy midfield

There's more to come out with Kate

Pressure acts from our defenders was practically non-existent. McVee, May, Salem, Rivers. Terrible

Two appalling losses in three weeks, both to WA sides, one that had only won 7 games in three years. Yep. All good carry on.

The 6 average comes mostly from his time relieving the ruck. He is a shell of a footballer at the moment.

Haven't seen the game but I'm tipping we had a collision with the reality bus?

And mcVee on Young

Stop serong, help Max No umpire 15 We're good

Wasnt it last time he got the 3 votes? Seems all our ex ruckmen grow another leg when playing against max

Forecast for Sunday is 4deg going up to 18deg with no rain. Looks perfect for footy

So he has a better record than Petty?

8 weeks If it was Toby Greene

He is the 5th one...

I agree. The midfield let us down in that game.

The umpires definitely talk to each other during games. They call frees, blocks etc. Watch for holding at the stoppage etc Has been going on for a long time What's new here is that someone is sitting in the stands giving feedback. Not necessarily on individual decisions I suspect but holding off the ball, someone like Max being targeted behind play etc

I didn't watch the game last night. What's the verdict?

Fair enough. But the only opinion I am interested in is JT!

So was Mac Andrew

Chad Warner went pick 39 Gulden went pick 32 No one saw any value in them before that Who cares what others think?

They came out firing. Refused to kick long to Lever, May went off early from memory. Dirty ball into our fwd 50 where we struggle to stop it and rebound. Expect no different this time. We need a first qtr as intensive as last game. But with better kicking. Freo have never played this ground so hopefully that gives us an edge.

Or the public Is it any wonder the umpires get abused for not abiding by the rules when the rules are changed without watchers knowing? Why the secrecy? Oh its the AFL...
