very sloppy, that kick out mark should have had a man up to cause presure.

How the f*** can we let the opposition take the ball through the middle from a kickout uncontested. We are a terribly coached team right now

All over red rover
We have stopped and they have midfield numbers surging.
We leave too much to too few as usual.

The cracks are starting to appear, but there's something good from this.


When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

Best Effort for the year and by a long way. Coincidence or Lenny back in the side.

Kosi's 200 is going to have to wait at least one more week.

Probably pushing back to stem the flow

Decent crack alright

Freo are beatable, other teams should glean a bit

Play your own way

That was te low point of the game after the kids have done so wel. Don't like seeing a more experienced player just turn the back and give no respect for the person ready to kick. Not a good look atall.


Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

Saad and milera should never be in the same side ever.
We can't carry two blokes who both play the game looking for easy goals.
If you can't go into to then middle the eff off.

I mean Danyule Pearce is streets ahead of both those two players.
We need genuine mids not half assed small fwds.

Effort is there strength isn't though. Should now blow to 30- 40 points based on the durability and strength of young guns.

Regardless of the result.
Well said, big red
Yep! Agree. Good game and one they can look at as a template.

Minchington is my great white hope. I reckon he'd already give us more.

I remember it happening at least a couple of times when Ross was coach when they would got it over the press and away they went.

Last couple of mins have been a bit disappointing but still a good effort.

Nah f*** Ross.

The challenge was there.
Travel West against a pretty good side.

A few of our best are staying home.

The pressure and the workrate. The tackling etc.

A few of the youngsters have had a crack.

Games like this can blow away any doubt of not belonging at this level of football.

Roo said it at half time. Games like this can set up your career.

Would have loved the 4 points. Ross lyon is a skidmark in the jocks of humanity.

I'm done with Farren Ray. He just doesn't give enough considering his age and experience. Keep him at Sandy unless all the kids are unfit.

Might have lost but if we can replicate that effort the future certainly isn't as bleak as some suggest!

He would've been one of our best except every fkn kick of his goes to the opposition.
