Re: Crowd prediction vs Freo

Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of Dockers fans came over. Expect an easy kill, see Melbourne, plenty of tickets available, compare Southbank with Freo's High Street. Or maybe bottom of Elizabeth with High St. Catch up with Ross.

Re: Changes for Freo

Cordy might be mightily under estimated in regard to what he brings. Could release Battle fwd, give Max a spell as he looks injured. Zane just brings serious effort and smarts. Qualities the side doesn't have a lot of.

Well whatever plan A is, it's not working. What are the common elements of performances like Saturday's and some of the more insipid showings under Brett and Alan. Commonality of players and of players in particular positions, preparations?, there must be a scientific reason for serving up such rubb...

Re: Sandy at Wonthaggi

Isn't he a young man living away from home a long way from home and quite physically small. Subi to Wonthaggi, who wouldn't be a bit perplexed by the journey. So quick to critique these young blokes going through tremendous change. Support wouldn't go astray in this formative stage. Maybe?

How are the following forwards going atm King Owens Phillipou Owens seems to be going ok. Membrey is not a youngster and is playing poorly. So what was the manager's point.

Re: Losing to Hawks

Kick long & high into forward line to the disadvantage of our forwards or to an outnumber. Repeat 20+ times per match, a method that has transcended 3 coaches & a few playing groups. Must be something in the Moorabbin water. And if being 5 points down with 50 secs on the clock isn`t the tim...

I wonder what the point of the tweet was.
Can see a disgruntled family member being foolishly emotive, but a professional manager - how did he see it helping his client.

Re: Chicken or the Egg

The players put in for Ross or not as mood takes them; or Ross churns the list to get players that will put in and play smart each week. Selection this week might tell which scenario is at play.

Surely Caminiti and Sharman have to come in given the size of Freos defenders? If Max can nullify Pierce it would also help.

Tony74,
Hi, are you able to say what Hayes issues were yesterday; and Ross seemed fully "had enough of these players", is there serious tension in the rooms now with so many playing poorly?

So far this season we've lost six games. Five of them by a combined 28 points (on average less than a goal a gaame).

The sad part is we are quite capable of winning games like this, should win games like this, but there always seems to be a few have stinkers, clutch moments are fluffed, big moments missed.

That's bound to attract criticism from the owners of neutered dogs, female dogs, vets of all creeds - and non neutered dogs due to the implications they think deeply rather than just spraying, sniffing and filling small green bags with excrement.
