that last qtr was putrid, either tired or no instruction from the coaching box.

the first 3 qtrs were reasonable.

so long Yaz, thanks for the memories. please get dropped

Jamo, you need to retire.

Hendo, where did you go?

Bucks, Holman, Cripps, Murph, white, bell, great work

doc, BOG for carlton

_________________
my last one was rubbish

This game plan will not cut it. Chipping and over possessing the ball. What is the forward line structure by the way, just bomb it straight to a whole line of opposition.?

I don't care what anyone says, and yes they are talented but Yarran and Hendo are liabilities at the moment. They simply don't give a toss.

What happened to our exciting run, why are we playing rugby with a footy ball,going back to move fwd???
Menzel, Yazz & Hendo are players that could obtain decent picks with.
Walsh even though had minimal opportunities is a player that won't go far at AFL level. Should be persisting with Boekhorst.
Everitt is soft
Tutt needs to go. What's he do to make the senior team?
Our senior blokes were the costly ones. Shocking skill errors.

Positives. Stayed in contest for three quarters.

Yep, yarran, Henderson and Jamison all awful. Rowe not far behind

Lots of rookie listed players tonight. Hung on well for 3/4 qtrs then had nothing.

We have Yarran not interested, Menzel injured, Henderson down on confidence and playing the wrong end. Probably did ok to hang in considering but class rose to the top in the last qtr.

Crap game.
Crap skills.
Crap setup.
Too many players missing.
Gave up at the end.

I am so over Chris Yarran. He had several chances to run the footy tonight but just kicked off a step. Again. Of all his disposals, you could say there was one good one. He should get dropped and if he goes I won't worry.

Cripps needs a rest He did nothing again tonight.
Curnow our top possession getter on the night? Funny that. I would never have guessed it.
Levi let himself down. Another 50 for chatting the umpire.

White did well on Fyfe.

The effort thay have shown in past weeks wasn't there tonight. Poor tackling and no intensity at the footy. All in all, not worth the effort of getting up at 0430 to watch.

10 players with less than 50 games experience tonight.

Some of the younger players were very good - Buckley, Docherty amongst them. Holman did some good things but needs to get more involved.

Rowe looks lost. Ditto Casboult, Jamison and Henderson. All were ordinary.

Yazz had the highest Supercoach points (128). Shows what a joke that rating is because he was poor for a lot of the night. Did a bit in the last quarter when the game was done.

Yarran & Henderson - if you don't want to play, just let the front office know on the way out...

John Barker and co - is this the best game plan you can come up with to save your job? (Fun fact: you need a couple of forwards...)

Sam Doc - well done, keep leading the way...BOG

Buckley, Holman, Cripps etc - keep playing those kids!!

Putrid last qtr? What do you expect when the Fremantle team had 2674 games of experience compared to 1734?

It was a good effort for 3 qtrs but I'm tired of a good effort being okay. I want wins but it won't happen with this list. Tonight and next week will show us the reality of our position.

Cripps, Docherty, Graham, Kruezer, Tuohy, Byrne, Jaksch, Simpson, Murphy, Gibbs, Buckley, Sheehan are keepers. The rest are up for grabs IMO.

We need to recruit players who can use the ball well and well under pressure. Elite ball users need to be the priority.

Good for 3 quarters. The white flag went up in the last quarter.
Our skills are so poor its not funny.
The top team against one of the bottom sides so the margin was to be expected but not really a reflection of the game.
We seem to have gone back to this awful chipping the ball around, what happened to the attacking style we were playing only a few weeks ago?
Next week is going to get ugly.

Cripps 17 stats worth 30 from some others

When under pressure, go back to what you know.

If we appoint Barker, we will be shit forever. I don't care if the players love him. Sick of them dictating anyway. Just dumb dumb players some of them.

It's the seniors making the errors not the young ones which annoys me the most.

Once Daisy and Jones come back into the team, we will be competing for the flag again don't worry.

happy to trade yazz soft and scared and has lost the plot
hendo gives us nothing playing like he wants out just trade him
rowe just makes poor decision and poor skills sack him
jamo is finished
everitt is soft as they come
Curnow tries but is a turnover king
carrots same as Curnow
will not improve till these blokes and a few more are gone

Yep, need more players like this. Doc has been a great pick up.
