FMD….the smartest guy in the room spends his time talking to those ‘less fortunate intellectually’. He’s very giving. It must be like a charity thing for him
It’s a shame he’s too gutless to actually give us his own summary of a single quarter of footy
Here’s the challenge for you Mr Stubborn one; Watch the 3rd quarter of our Round 17 game
Freo kicked the last goal of the first half and then kicked the first 4 goals in the third quarter. That’s five in a row and the tide was turned. According to Teflon it was Fyfe who ‘turned the game’ and it was Bretts fault that we lost
I, like everyone at the ground, knew at some point Fyfe would go to the middle….what did Brett do????? Sweet FA
Why????
Cause Brett hadn’t even anticipated the most obvious move that turned the game
A simple task for anyone is to count how many touches Nat got during that 5 goal haul. How many were in the middle? And while your practising counting, why don’t you count how many out of bounds on the full our players kicked in that small period
How is it that we were smashing them in clearances by half way in the 3rd (I think it was 21 -14) and smashing them in contested and uncontested footy and smashing them in inside 50’s (I think it was 34-26) but they were now in front by 3 goals?
Ok for Teflon to blame players for not executing basic kicking skills when we lose and when it suits him, but in this instance he wants to blame the coach.
The stats by mid way through the third were basically all our way…before the ‘game turned’. Another absolute doozy of a stat pops up on the screen with 2 minutes to go until 3 quarter time - centre clearances up until that point were 16-5 our way!!
How damning is that on our delivery inside 50 and also on our forwards for their lack of movement or ability to lead? And by the way, Mr Fyfe wasn’t playing at Centre HB or FB
Serong, Brodie, Mundy, Brayshaw, Schultz and especially Lobb were the ones who did the damage in the 3rd. Fyfe was a contributor with a goal and a few touches as well in the 3rd, but Fyfe’s flurry of possessions in the 4th quarter was not why we lost.
I understand that it’s easy to get confused and some people have killed off a few too many brain cells over the years. After all, the cameras did pan to Fyfe several times with some zoom shots up close in that 3rd quarter when he was sitting on the pine
I know you won’t take up the challenge though
Instead you will desist from being so generous with your time
