It’s good to have different strings to our bow and try them now. In the last quarter we seemed to shift to a different more traditional mode backing ourselves in with our fitness as well.

When the backlines not performing as well as usual , the strategy can put us under the pump, like yesterday which was too close for comfort and then we had to work harder to save it.

Can someone please tell me or offer some sort of explanation as to why we are constantly being beaten at clearances week after week, when we have a Ruck combination of Gawn and Grundy and an on all brigade that consists of Viney ,Trac ,Clarry, and Kozzie etc? There are better tactical , statistical and analytical guys than me on here, but my guess is that of course we would like to be winning them , but as Goody says in his pressers, our game is based on turnover, and we don’t sweat on who gets it first as we have the cover on the next possession.

I don’t know what’s wrong with May this year , but he just seems to be going through the motions , or carrying an injury perhaps?

J.Viney won that game for us. Disgusting commentary by Dunstall, barracking for the Suns and calling umps decisions that weren’t even there.

No Touk Miller and we still get smashed in clearance

I’d be surprised if we won this, too many players down.

Our Backline is pretty ordinary this year.

Sub off Turner and bring on some fresh legs. Put petty down back

We are playing dumb lazy footy Collins will punch it away every time

This game doesn’t make sense. Why put a skinny kid like Turner on a bloke like Casboult? We are just bombing it anywhere into our forward line and it’s easily getting picked off. Lever, Oliver and Fritter need to lift big time.

Great interview thanks Andy. Steve is a great interview subject as he steers away from those footy cliches and is so open and honest.

Agree 100% I’ve always thought Fritter and Cameron were very similar beasts in the way they move as well as their goal kicking radar and accuracy.

Best news ever!! Extremely happy with another 4 years of magical wizardry!

We will end their party.

Might stop players getting booed for leaving too early

Freo really need to recruit a tall guy who can take a mark. oh wait……

I’ve been waiting for this combination to try out with JVR, Schache and Fritsch. I think it’s the perfect balance and very mobile , let’s hope it bears fruit.

I love his follow up work and the way he thinks ahead of the situation providing another option after he has competed in the ruck.

That was a tough battle, Richmond brought the heat but we hung tough despite some of the worst umpiring I’ve seen in a long while. Shows what JVR is made of to come back and grab the game by the throat like that.

Four years would be a great result. Nothing would make me happier, other than a spa with Pamela Anderson.

Swans looked cooked with lots of key positions missing

I definitely don’t hate LJ as he is a Demons premiership player, and I’m at peace with it now because we have benefited from the deal. Jacko left for a huge payday and to be close to mum and dad, but unfortunately what that does is put him under an enormous amount of pressure to perform . Staying with the Dees , he still had some good mates and playing in a better team, didn’t have to be a focal point as such. His choice to leave , and everything that comes with it including pressure and criticism is part of the path he chose for himself.
