Mcguane 

What exactly has fyfe done? Had a handful of possies, half of them turnovers, the others ineffective and he's a class above?  ball falls into his lap from a fumble in a pack "oh wow fyfe, he's a cut above in the centre" stuff off

Thought we held our own, bit unlucky not to get reward on the scoreboard for some pretty intense fwd pressure. Lst 5 mins when a couple of the rookies came on you could tell we dropped off

Freo got some momentum towards the end of the half, but good to see players like Verrier and O'Hanlon having a massive crack and taking on the opposition without rushing disposals. Shows they aren't scared and even the young fellas have some grunt. Morris let himself down with that poo kick after the free but he has been attacking really hard. He'll be a ripper once he settles down and gets some home and away season acclimatisation.

Clearances are awesome with only Dusty as the back bone.

Poor disposal & poor decision making by the usual suspects

Just a practice match no-one cars

Doesn't it poo you when unknown players don't get kudos for doing stuff big names would get lauded for? Morris gained 10 meters on that jet over a 50 metro sprint and then threw himself at the legs of someone coming full pelt and not one mention. If that was Judd or hodge geez we would still be hearing about it.

I know the exact moments you speak of! Morris has a fair bit of grunt in him. I love when he bowled over the bloke around the thighs at full pelt, not going too low to give away tripping.  Post is looking good too.


And how good was Jack's blind hand ball 

Jacks been on fire with his handballs and assists
