Thank God for Scott Watters.....
* Attacking game style
* Introduction of new players - young and old
* Better across the board team efforts
* More enjoyable game to watch
As much as I would have worshipped RL if we won in 09 or 10, may we NEVER, EVER, EVER go back to an RL game style.
Keep up the good work Scotty!!!

Yup 6-6 and battling to make the eight.
Can see why you like it.

Re: Thank God for Scott Watters.....
Would like to see a bit more defence.
We are giving up far too many easy goals.

Agree with the OP...... Joff will feel better in the morning (once the hangover wears off)

Watters is a jumped up Matthew Knights. Seems to have no idea about defence. He scores goals but the team is going backwards.
6-6 is where this medicore coach and his medicore team belong.
But hey honourable loss guys and you are entertaining. Too bad you can fkn win.

Yep too many where the opposition just get an easy mark in the forward line or just stroll into goal.Bazza1970 wrote:Would like to see a bit more defence.

If only we could play an attacking game while still maintaining some sort of defense.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:

Who knows how we would've gone under RL (probably would've won Freo and Richmond but might've lost Carlton) but at least it's been exciting which will be good for membership/sponsorship. Too early to judge SW.

Re: Thank God for Scott Watters.....
Really?
I think i'd much prefer 09 being 12-0 rather than 6-6.
I'd rather win 1-0 than lose 119-120. Lets be honest, our defense is atrocious right now. As much as we are better to watch, we're losing games because decent key forwards have killed us. Time to get a bit of that defense back I reckon.

Re: Thank God for Scott Watters.....
You are wrong. To compare Watters to Matthew Knights is ridiculous. It is not a lack of defence, it is that we are one tall defender short. Zac leaving has cost us, but at the stage he did leave, it didn't leave us much of a chance to do anything about it recruiting wise. I wasn't a massive wrap for Zac, but at least he provided more of a contest against the bigger forwards. The way the ball was being delivered into Adelaide's forward line tonight, this is where we struggled. Kicking for goal wasn't fantastic and we missed some very easy shots. Had we converted when we should have, we would have won.joffaboy wrote:Seaford_Saint wrote:Agree with the OP...... Joff will feel better in the morning (once the hangover wears off)

This team hasn't not even come close to the 09 form since 2009. What you have to realise is that if Ross stayed, we would most likely be sitting 4-8 or 5-7 with his style of play. The game has evolved since our 2009 game plan and if you look across the country, Freo are sitting at the same spot on the ladder that we are.
Perhaps it is your disappointment talking, but if you can not see the potential of this team and this list and this new style of play, we must be watching different games.

I blame him for tonight as much as I blame Lyin for '09 Final. Zip.

Re: Thank God for Scott Watters.....
Why are we forgetting about how good the Crows are going this year?? How the **** do you stop Thompson and Dangerfield and Van Berlo and Sloane and all their mids who are absolutely flying?? Did Ross fkn Lyons dockers stop the Crows? No!!! They got pumped!!!
Yes 2009 was great in home and away, but when you get to finals and when you're up against quality midfields who are in peak form, how the **** do you stop them all?? Defend, restrict, contain your opponent and stopping them is fine, but if there isn't a balance, your opponents will find a way. Forget about kicking goals at your peril and thats where Lyons game plan and team selection policy wasn't good enough to win a granny. If your mindset is all about restricting the opposition instead of beating them on the scoreboard, then more often than not, you'e one or two goals away from defeat.
