Round 5 Game Night Thread - Freo versus RICHMOND

[Phar Ace]

At least seeing Barlow might help our recruiters see what to look for

 

[LachlanGrant]

I like Rance up forward. Down back. Nope.

Must have been doing what I done as a junior, play like turds down back to get a gig somewhere else.

 

[ThePercies]

I think you'll find that that Taylor will require a knee reco

..If only Angus or Browne were any good.

Did you see the Burgers this week? Besides Vickery our Rucks are a real problem.

We could've had him but we went with Hicks instead.

 

[wayne]

Only positives I can think of tonight have been Nahas, Collins and Foley's excellent return back to senior footy.

Got another positive. McPhee doesn't play for us. :hihi

Tackling was good.

We didn't give in, we didn't get smashed.

 

[thejinx]

Rance has been good.

Rance's endeavour has been good, but that's about it. 3 goals from 3 free kicks. Needs to learn to put two hands in the air when he tries to mark the ball.

Haven't been impressed with Vickery. But he's still young, and he's tall, so he's got a few more years worth of excuses in the bag.

 

[bowee]

what was the plan with the kick-ins? Spot up Sandilands everytime?

That's a better option than a short kick-in, fumble and then opposition goal.

Pick the lesser of two evils.

 

[Baloo]

Score ?

Sure sounded like that on the radio...how about we kick it away from sandilands?

 

[thejinx]

Score ?

15.22 112
to
11.7 73

We were extremely lucky to lose by 39. Should have been 80.

 

[graystar1]

Have to be our best result for the season so far. At last we did not lose by 50 something points....thanks to the wayward kicking by Freo.

 

[Baloo]

39 against Freo at Subi. I reckon most of us would have accepted it if it was offered before the game.

Looking at the 39 pt margin yes, but we should have been trounced.

Tonight was no better than any of our other games.

Percentage boosting honourable loss was it - Rnd 5 - mmmm?

 

[Tigers of Old]

Our ruck division is currently uncompetitive against the likes of sandilands.
Gotta go shopping.

 

[Barnzy]

39 against Freo at Subi. I reckon most of us would have accepted it if it was offered before the game.

Their inaccuracy in front of goals and the fact we got about 7 or 8 of our goals from free kicks flatters the scoreline. Freo should've won by 70+. They had 37 shots on goal - 15.22.

 

[Rantnrave]

NAHAS.....YES..excelent
VICKERY..YES..

Exactly. A flogging after 1/4 time.

The undisciplined, poorly skilled Tigers were on display yet again.
