    Yes I agree they are very stagnant. You can't win playing like that. Looks like Collingwood will be our opponents next week.

      They're possibly the most boring team in the league.

      And we'll have to be at our best to knock them off. I hate to admit it but they're good.

        Yes! I hadn’t watched last half of last week’s game as picking up kid’s from various activities until later on Friday. Then flew to Fiji on Sat morning, . Watched replay today. Oliver looked a mess (usually does) - and the damage to cheek was from last week.

        Having said that, there was definitely contact with the eye from Berry. He will serve a week I reckon. Played a great game.

            Freo were the second best defensive side in the league during the H&A season, so clipped a lot of games. But they were only 12th in scoring and barely ahead of Adelaide and Bombers. You’ve got to find a way to score against teams with good defences in finals and they’ve struggled.

              Pies wasting chances. Could come back to bite. Could be up by 50.

                Yes their run is unbelievable. The last time we played them we were able to stop that, apart from 5 minutes in the last quarter. We have to bring the pressure as well as control the ball. Simple ????.

                  This is a v soft audit of the Pies .
                  3 goals in an hour and a half by Dockers.
                  So unimpressed.

                    Weak effort to tackle there, Clark. Flagmantle? Don’t think so.

                    At least put in a decent last quarter effort - come on!

                      De Goey is really hard to tackle. He didn't play against us last time did he?

                          What’s weird is Freo think the solution to a few small deficiencies in their list is going all in on Luke Jackson, and sacrificing a bucket of salary cap space (and therefore players) to do so.

                              Freo are deer in the headlights. Fumbling even when in the clear.
                              Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

                                And don’t the commentators want the pies to win? McLaughlin and Darcy are pathetic
