Round 4, Freo vs Richmond

[wayne]

Nason nailed Tarrant.

Best tackle i've seen a Tiger player do for a very long time!

[tony_montana]

I just can't believe we do this each week! How can we give up a lead like that so easily?

take it easy, they lifted their intensity and our young inexperienced boys couldn't handle it. Don't know why ppl get surprised by this?

True TM.

Young sides are inconsistent and can run out of juice . Can we recharge the batteries during half-time or will it be a repeat of last week is the question. For most of that 2nd quarter we dropped away although we picked up a again in time-on.

Our youngest guys have been quiet tonight - Astbury, Taylor and Dea. Not unexpected for first year players but only Martin from last year's draft has stepped up.

We need to reorganise our forward line. We kept falling down that quarter and couldn't score after kicking 6 in the first. Agree RR. Morton would be handy right now.

[Lozza]

We really need to address the way the ball is being delivered inside 50, we are just butchering good well earned possession, we need to make the most of every opportunity.

[tony_montana]

I'm liking Lids off HB, leave him there the majority of the time

Foley is a gun, adds so muc to our midfield, giving us plenty of drive with Martin.

Vickery is doing exceptionally well under the circumstances, is defnitely takingsteps fwd this season.

Dea is much too raw for this level, he's had a taste, now time to go back to coburg

McGuane is getting monsered by Pav in the contest.

Nahas' best game of the season by far, this is what he should be aspiring to each week

Cotch needs to get into it more.

Collo- this kid makes me miss a beat eachtime he gets it, holds onto it FAR TOO LONG all the tme, needs to be quicker with his decison making but good that he's getting it.

Reiwoldt needs to do more, had a super game last week(minus the kicking) needsto lear to back it up!

history says no, we seem to be running out of juice bigtime which will happen wth our side who weren't really very fit in previous yrs.
1 positive for today has been our start, I will take aother positive if we fight it out hard this 3rd quarter. don't give lads!

Two Points to freo

40 - 38


Why are we kicking it to Sandilands from the kick-in 

[mightytiges]

Tuck dives on ball and is pinged  .

40 - 44

Last 4 goals to freo. Not to mention all the behinds.

[mightytiges]

Our last goal 26 min first quarter 

We're now the ones giving away silly frees.

40 - 45


Inside 50s: 1 - 6 this quarter.

[mightytiges]

We're playing rugby at the moment. Trying to get meterage along the boundary line.

Taylor wrong option going long inside 50 to Freo players. Turnover and Freo run it up the end for a goal.


40 - 51

we know how to make opposition debutants look good don't we.

[mightytiges]

Everything going Freo's way now including the frees. Our midfield is getting smashed.

40 - 57

[mightytiges]

Dumb Luke dumb  . Does GC17 want him for a top 10 pick.


40 - 64
