Honourable loss today. Nothing to be super proud about but not worthy of being overly critical. I really rate Freo, and think they should be top 6 this year even after a slow start.
Each week goes we learn more about some of the kids, and less senior types.
Hugo was OK, looking forward to a big chunk of games to see him develop to next level.
Jonty is raw and should have nailed that, would be impressive to say our 2 KP draftee 18yos have kicked a goal already by round 6, in a bottom 2 side.
Dow is a whipping boy and still young, but 79m gained with 15 handballs, 11 contested. I guess the bar is low, but I'm unsure thats a role we want to develop, but anyway.
Continue to love Trainors games, going to be a gem. Plays all year.
Hopper, Tim and KMac (I'll harshly call the list clogger crew, as I don't think any of the 3 will be part of our next flag), were OK, can't bag their games. KMac tagged Serong for most of it who influenced only slightly.
Maurice was lively early, he doesn't have the tank for midfield but I'd be intrigued to see how he would go as tagger. His pressure is elite and is opportunistic in F50. Everything else doesn't seem overly AFL standard so I wonder how he'd go tagging some of the smaller mids or even running half backs.
Sonsie and Brown were OK too, so reasonably honourable loss without being super honourable like the loss vs Lions.
