    Much better quarter we just couldn't convert. Our pressure was up and clearances improved. Just need to stop kicking points. We really needed that Buddy goal.

      We’ve got to approach this like the Melbourne game where inaccuracy hurt us early but we played ok and ran over the top.

          I think Errol's been our best. Makes the difficult look simple. Florent has been very good, as well. Shame he just missed his goal of the year contender. Umpires still missing plenty, like our forwards. Definitely in the game.

            Not that it matters now but I was sure that Banfields goal in that quarter went over the goal post not beside and when they replayed it on Fox then one of the commentators said they thought the same thing the graphic of the ball trajectory certainly placed it over or just to the right of the goal post.

              Errol has been outstanding. It looks like Horse has given him a role inside today. We were really the much better team that quarter except at kicking for goal.

                Same here - I think he has a high opinion of himself.

                  I can't understand why our guys are told to (I assume) back off their opponents who are about to receive a kick. Their opposite is to get as close as possible and they end up getting more of the ball to work with.
                  He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

                    I thought it was a behind, but I might be biased?

                      Clarke is having a shocker - completely out of his depth.

                        A much better second quarter. Best game from Erol in a while and Ollie is playing really well too. A few of them need to lift still and boy do we need to kick straight.

                          I immediately booked a specsavers appointment after that decision was given.

                            Not really. Freo are playing well. We are average. If we turn it around, better accuracy we are a very good chance. And we have tended to turn around in the second half

                                Why do they always get paid in the back but for us it's play on??
