Match Day Thread Rnd 4 V Fremantle

[troyjones2525]

I would hope the message of the week in the after match reviews is that if you are going to make a skill error down back make it a long one! Good effort though boys, if only we'd come out with that effort from the start...

We shot ourselves in the foot in the first half and then the goal umpires must have had bets on Freo

Did it hit the post or did it got the fweo leg which hit the post?

Good comeback but just too much to do in the end. That hanners turnover that led to the pavlich goal was the killer - we were away going the other way and might have taken the lead and gone on with it.

Showed some good character in the second half - we will be there at the right end of the season if we show that sort of heart.

hanners turnover was the turning point of momentum
but truly we didnt deserve too win
keep reid down back and lloyd was great

ps. mundy looks like sideshow bob

No shame in losing in the end after the first half performance. Shame that the umps had so much influence until half time. Still an effort to be proud of.

Hopefully this is the making of Reid...

Chalk that up to home town umpiring in the first half (did someone deliver the maggots a rocket at half time) and skill errors through fatigue late in the game. A freak called Fife had something to do with it too.

Yep, we could go on with a lot of "what-if's" (especially Tippo's goal that "touched" the pole and Bird's effort) but the better team today won.

If that's the worst game for the year I will be very happy. Upside of Reid coming good, Lloyd becoming a solid best 22 player, Parker finally getting over his concussion makes for a positive outlook.

A don't the Ump's love him. I would like to see Buddy get some calls like Fyfe did tonight.

[Hotpotato]

Selling the dummy seems to have gone out of the Swans game, Hanners and Macca used to do it really well. Hanners could have done with it then.
Freo had a four goal advantage with their big home crowd .
Glad we didn't get bloused for the whole game.

[altmattr]

And there you see one of the reasons they are such a midfield powerhouse - Kirk!

[Scottee]

Thought Hanners was magnificent.

[dimelb]

Rohan was critical to the shift of momentum. He needs to play full games, perhaps time to rest Zucchini in the green vest.

If I could change one thing it would be accuracy. Back to Nicky D's workshop.

[Meg]

Don't mind losing with the heart we displayed in second half. Amazing turnaround in stats in second half. We ended up leading on all clearance stats despite a heavy deficit in hit outs. The stats that made the difference in the end were the ones on disposal efficiency and clangers. We even caught up quite a bit on free kicks. 26 to 20 in favour of Freo (but 20 to 10 at half time). A lot to learn from that game and should build confidence in a couple of players (e.g. Reid). Onwards and upwards!
