Out run. Out worked. Out hustled.
Congratulations to Fremantle for wanting it so much more.

Lol re; Sier


Yeah, let's bring in someone who can't donate VFL but magically expect them to be an AFL legend

Starting to unravel

When Mihocek missed from 10 metres out in the first, I wondered if it was to be that sort of a day.

Our disposal was deplorable, we couldn't hit targets and outside of Pendles, our mids were ordinary.

Yet somehow we managed to stay in front until late, when courtesy of a mis cued torpedoe, they got the winning goal.

Has been poor for a month, and our luck finally ran out.

Hopefully we will learn from the loss.

By the way, time to drop Beams.

seeing the Cats dismantle the Swans, shows that we are a legitimate 6-7 goals away from beating the Cats.

So we have much to do and learn.

We played through the middle about as much as normal, so there goes that myth. We just didn't get the freedom around CHF. This is where Cox comes into his own, not his marking, but his creative body work and taps.

We fumbled less than the Dockers did.

We were wasteful in front of goal, but perhaps not as wasteful as they were.

They for the most part played more attacking, but dumb footy, and were picked off relentlessly by Howe and Roughhead 11 and 10 intercept marks between them. Had they not scored the final goal, that's what the headline might of been.

We lacked spark and run at times, others our forward entries were largely voided by Reid being reasonably well matched and Stevo being nullified. We were relatively clean, but the Dockers were able to invade the knock on space that we normally have ahead of a contest. How they did that will need to be investigated, but our usual handball chains broke down because the Dockers were closer to us.

We were manhandled in the Centre through lack of some hard inside mids when De Goey wasn't there [and he was only there fleetingly]. Pendles, Treloar, Beams and Sidebottom [was he in there?] were regularly outbodied and shut off from their normal run on off a feed dominance. Funny how the problem is glaring to us but not addressed. We are missing Adams/Sier... even throwing Greenwood in there might have been a shot.

Around the ground our mids got plenty of the ball, minus Tommy Phillips who only had 16, well down on his usual high 20s, obviously some work was put into him.

I'm a bit worried about Beams, not his footy skill, but his mental state. Doesn't look happy, body language reminds me of Langdon, and he's not that kind of cat.

If you had to lose to one of Freo and Melbourne... I'd take Freo.

Now that Western Australian teams train and play on a similar sized ground to the Victorian ones its no surprise that they are finding it easier to translate their games across the Nullabor, just as we do on the road as well. Someone mentioned that the Dockers looked bigger, when they lined up at their banner to run through I thought the same thing, but its a bit hard when we wear slimming black and they wear fattening white.

It’s in English bucks does not give a shit it seams as I said it’s starting to unravel too complacent and a pathetic performance
