How many leads / free players have Freo hit inside 50? Stuff we could only dream of...

Cooper Sharman is not the answer. Bloke has done nothing since round 2.

Dougal's man a mile on his own kicks a goal, vintage Howard!

Phillipou needs to go back to Sandy for a long stint.

Owens is on tonight.
We are tackling well tonight, probably the best for the year.

Funny how King, Membrey, Cooper and Caminiti all look like trash this year, might say something...

Sinclair should run to 55 and kick that goal

Yes, it was pretty silly kicking it straight down the throat of Paton who is one of the worst players ever.

Windy, Mitch, Dow and Marshall are the only shining lights.

Jackson killing Marshall in the ruck and showing how to properly use the ball when you take it out of the ruck

King starting to get involved umpire now allows Pearce to wrap his arms around him every contest.

At game
We gave shyte players
Slow decision making
Fumbles , drop chest marks rinse repeat
Freo - clean , move it quickly, precision
We’ve actually had more of the play
Can’t score
I would HATE to be a forward in this side
Where is:
Wood? Sharman ? NAS?? …I’ll cut collard sone slack …way too many passengers

Marshall with more possessions, more marks, more tackles... but its Jackson that is doing the damage .... or at least seems that way

Paton has just sealed his fate. Won’t get a game after this and will get delisted.

Howard fate sealed too. Will only keep playing until end of year so that he has some (not much) trade currency.

Lumbering, zone off, insipid, slow thinking Howard. He searches around looking for someone, anyone, to blame for his own inadequacies.

New bunch of forwards, same messy structure.

Freo are setting up most of their goals from mistakes we make inside or just outside our forward 50.

The biggest weakness in our coaching structure is bleedingly obvious tonight. Dow has improved things in the midfield and Windhager is having an excellent game in there. But what's the point in winning the ball in the middle and sending it forward when it's chaos up there? On a couple of occasions, the chaos has helped us: eg, Owen's last goal. But it's generally helped Freo more.

Sharman and Caminiti have been pretty weak tonight. As for Collard, I reckon Paton looks like he's a better crumbing forward.

It's a toss up of a game. We could still end up winning quite well. But we've got to lift our performance up forward.

Marshall has been good at ground
He doesn’t have enough friends
Think Dow will be ok
It’s all just entry into 50 …there’s no lowering eyes, finding a free it’s all bomb
Sharman got loose once …missed

And I'm not sure why the first player to be criticised is Howard. Our main problems tonight do not lie with our defence. Nor our midfield, which is performing unexpectedly well.

It's very difficult to defend against a sudden counter attack which comes about from a totally unexpected turnover up forward.

Can’t score
We’re kicking into a massively congested forward line and then they score on the rebound to a wide open forward line. Maybe drop some numbers behind the ball.
