  1. The game would be far less congested if umpires weren't so hot on players moving half an inch off their lines and calling play on.
  2. If Adelaide win and Walker gets at least two weeks then it's a great result for us.
  3. Handy for us in a couple of weeks.
  4. These changes are likely but boy we would become an even slower team.
  5. According to Ben Guthrie on Twitter Stretch will miss the remainder of the year with a stress fracture in his toe.
  6. Needs to be a 10 to 15 goal win, especially without Bontempelli.
  7. Royal Melbourne isn't in Perth.
  8. 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.
  9. Our forwards are most lead-up style players but we are forever sitting it on their heads hoping someone will take a screamer. A big problem is they start too far up the ground, they should be in the goal square leading out to mark 30 metres out, instead they have to just stand 30 metres out and watch opposition defenders pick off the high ball.
  10. Our forward line structure is a mess, one passage of play summed it up: Viney won a centre clearance, was streaming forward with no one around him, looked up and had no one to kick it to so he had to handball to Spargo. It was a shocking handball, but that’s irrelevant because imagine not having forward options to kick to after the forwards have had a centre bounce to set up properly.
  11. Anyone who can hold a chest mark.
  12. Spot on. We won’t win any game against good opposition if we continue to blindly handball and play on all the time as the first option.
  13. 6. Oliver 5. Gawn 4. Fristch 3. Brayshaw 2. Salem 1. Petracca
  14. Plus the always looking to handpass without even trying to run and kick the ball first.
  15. The umpiring was good except the below the knees rule is a disgrace (for both teams).
  16. Smith was doing SFA down back, needed to try something to get him into the game other than for tackling.
  17. Out: Lewis, ANB, J. Smith In: Vince, Hannan/JKH, Pedersen/T. Smith
