  1. That’s the kick Garlett should have done last week. We look so lethargic, lucky to be this close.
  2. Lewis an excellent kick for goal.
  3. Hogan had a terrible start.
  4. That Hogan handpass to Melksham is everything that is wrong with our ball movement.
  5. I've been banging on about this for a long time but our decision making when we take a mark is atrocious. If you are going o play-on then play-on straight away, otherwise get right back behind the mark (far enough so you can kick back over the man on the mark and not on an angle) and give yourself space to take a kick without any pressure. Too often in that last quarter we rushed the ball when there was no need and didn't use our full seven seconds.
  6. If we beat Adelaide I give us a 40% chance of making finals, if we lose I think it will about 10%.
  7. Melksham’s one-handed marking attempts need to be coached out of him too.
  8. I like how we allowed Stewart to play loose despite the fact we were dominating the midfield and had no trouble getting the ball forward.
  9. Garlett out.
  10. Tyson is at Trengove levels of slowness now. Must be his knee, surely.
  11. Have we moved O. McDonald off Hawkins yet?
  12. Frost actually got within a few metres of Hawkins while O. McDonald wasn’t in the same postcode.
  13. That Garlett kick and O. McDonald playing five metres off Hawkins all night. Good stuff.
  14. Menzel out would be massive.
  15. Royal Melbourne isn't in Perth.
  16. The backline didn’t have to do anything because the ball never went down there without Sandilands and Fyfe. On top of that the Fremantle forwards are all no-names anyway. Lewis constantly falls over, panics under pressure and struggles to bend down to pick up the ball. That 50 metre penalty was a disgrace, especially from someone supposed to be a leader.
  17. On top of this, we kicked into the man on the mark twice against Port Adelaide (Brayshaw and Lewis from memory) which is completely unacceptable.
  18. Did anyone hear Jimmy Bartel talking about Petracca just stood still after taking a mark tonight? How the hell is this still happening?
  19. No wonder Tom Morris got the flick from the Melbourne Podcast. Normally supporters tend to know a lot about their club.
  20. Needs more penetration in his kicking, prefer to see him hit targets 30 metres away than to go for the long options.
