The Game

Goodes shouldnt be playing,and as for Maxfield its one thing to get heaps of the ball,its another to actually use it well and stop your opponent at the same time.And we just signed him for another year,surely if where to go forward he wont be captain.

Polak is having a field day, running up and down as he pleases. I really admire Goodesy's effort in coming up today but I think he's a liability at less than 100% fitness. The amount of times he has beaten in contested marks over the last few weeks is concerning.

Agree - on this form, IMHO we will miss the finals and we are just putting him at greater risk of long term issues.

As much as it pains me to say it, right now, Goodes is a liability - there was an instance in the 3rd qtr where he swiped at the ball as the freo player stepped him, unable to change direction at all.

I say let Goodesy loose. He is totally lost with having someone running off him, so why not turn it around and let Adam have a bit of space?

Does anyone else think Hall MIGHT have been pushed in the back there?

**anniswan** · 24 July 2004, 06:35 PM

Keep Hall off now, or he will kill someone, and get life!

**Foreign Legion** · 24 July 2004, 06:35 PM

WTF are these umpires doing?

Hally off because of their ****ing incompetence.

Great near mark paid to the Dockers as well.

Commentary is awesome too.

**Thunder Shaker** · 24 July 2004, 06:42 PM

Holy cow ... we got a F50 free! And a goal from it!

**Foreign Legion** · 24 July 2004, 06:44 PM

Why didn't we kick straight earlier in this 1/4?

****

Well looks like we'll be fighting it out for eighth position. From the looks of things i don't think it matters the way we're playing. Goodes and Schneider are just too under done and injured to be playing and need to be replaced, just too much of a liability.

The umpiring in this game is a ****en joke! I dont care what anyone says but quite frankly when the other team keeps receiving bull**** free kicks directly infront of goal it has to affect a team! But whinging aside

our boys need to regroup for the next 5 games and try to find some form.

And **** these commentators, stupid ****en biased pricks.

Cheers
Krys.

i'll hold you to that.

Running down the clock when they are 27pts up with 2 minutes to play.

Tim Gossage actually said that "Freo should win from here" about a minute before this - ****wit!

**Foreign Legion** · 24 July 2004, 06:55 PM

On a positive note:

I thought McVeigh showed a bit in the last 1/4 as did Ablett and Bevan.

Barry didn't look too happy to take that phone call

**gossipcom** · 24 July 2004, 06:55 PM

Well we're still in the 8 just... but a few injury concerns out of this match - the main one being Willo and also Bam Bam and Mickey O'L with their hammies.

To think what would have been had we played the 1st half like we did the 2nd half and also if that free kick count was 16-6 at half time..

Free Kick Count ended 27-18 that is absolutely shocking.....

**daniel f** · 24 July 2004, 06:55 PM

The real question should be why did we wait till after halftime when the damage was already done, to start showing a bit of grunt at the ball,absolutely pathetic.
