Match Thread: Fremantle v Swans

[Faunac8]

Heeney unmarked 40 metres out

[stevoswan]

Ollie had Heeney on his own there. Bugger bugger bugger!!!!

Yep, ABC radio said he had 'a number of options'. Damn it.

[Faunac8]

Well at least we didn’t go down by 111 points ????

[Mark26]

That one hurts. Credit to Freo. They had a beaut third quarter. Hopefully we go into next week full of venom for four quarters.

Didn’t deserve to win that, too many passengers

JMac a big out

There’s a few that need time in the vfl, I’m looking at you Nick Blakey

We were out played 1 quarter. Outside of that we had the run of the game. Poor decisions like the last kick of the game summed up why we lost.

Well we didn't deserve to win it. We were 20 points up at one stage and then stopped playing in the 3rd quarter. What a shocker of a performance. Seriously, umpiring is not to blame, it was a poor team effort in the 3rd. Seems like we thought we were just going to cruise to a win. Congrats Freo, they out played us.

Lesson to be learnt there and the players look like they are hurting and so they should.
To suggest that losing to the Dockers means we don’t deserve to play finals is a brutal assessment Freo are unbeaten at home games so it’s not an easy venue to win at.

Wow that's a disappointing loss.....one bad quarter. If you'd said before the game Buddy's going to get 6, you'd think Swans win comfortably....to lose by 2 points truly is one that got away. Horse won't be happy.

Freo are a bottom 8 side. We probably still deserve to play finals but will be cannon fodder if we only turn out 2.5 to 3 quarters.

So many players were passengers today that it is hard to say who to drop next week.
Hayden McLean was terrible. I don’t think i saw him take any marks. He gained 13 m in the whole game !
Stephens was terrible but atleast lifted in the last quarter.
Ryan Clarke was played in defence when we just needed to push him in the middle and hard tag Fyfe or Mundy.
Warner laid 3 tackles in first quarter and when Fremantle lifted he laid 1 tackle in 3 quarters !
Blakey - just did not see him anywhere !
Missed Mcinerney, Sam Reid (atleast he brings ball to the ground), Fox

Not sure what happened in the 3rd quarter. Probably the worse quarter we have played all year. Maybe fatigue was an issue. Put your hands up if you are tired of Blakey butchering the ball every single time.

Out scored them for 3 of the 4 quarters and lost

We won 3 of the 4 quarters on the scoreboard.

We lost by 2 points.

We had a realistic opportunity to goal in the last minute

I’m confident our #1 ruckman, who seems to be the barometer of the team played injured for 3/4 of the game.

I think we deserved to win if we had have won.

A 2 point lost is just a kick, a play or an umpiring decision that didn’t go our way. You win some. You lose some. Tonight we lost. But not for want of trying for 3 quarters.

Disappointing 3 quarter, granted. But they will hurt from it. They will learn from it.

He could have been the hero if Ollie put the ball down his throat in the last minute. Oh well.....
