Three Things I've Learned: Round one v Fremantle.
Only three everyone. Not four. Two you shall not say unless three immediately follows.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Three Things I've Learned: Round one v Fremantle.
1. Run and disposals. JJ & Biggs 35 touches each and Sucklings leg cannon.
2. Inconsistency: 3.9 in a half of footy. Really good teams don't do that. Still about along with poor goal kicking.
3. Still....: We scored over 100 points and kept Freo to their lowest ever team score against us.
4. Recruiting: Adams & Dunkley on debut. Well done to both boys.
I didn't learn it, but Stringer is moving towards Gary Ablett Snr comparisons.

Re: Three Things I've Learned: Round one v Fremantle.
1.Daniel can be a real force in the league.
2.Bevo is bold enough to give serious time to young blokes...and it pays off.
3. Our goal kicking hasn't improved one bit. Should've iced it earlier and won by way more. I love Gia but something isn't working.

Re: Three Things I've Learned: Round one v Fremantle.
Many were concerned about our small defence. They actually dominated the game.
Many were concerned about our ruck. Roughy was the dominant big man.
We were all concerned about Adam's disposal. Today his kicking was an attacking weapon.
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

Re: Three Things I've Learned: Round one v Fremantle.
1. Adams star fullback. I did not expect this showing.
2. Toby McLean. His four games last year had me convinced he was a star but then I wondered if I was mistaken through the NAB no cup. Today reconfirmed for me the gem we have acquired.
3. Tom Boyd is a very good ruckman. The tactic of switching him from FF might have the added benefit of creating mismatches when Stringer goes to FF.
Officially on the Bus-wagon

Re: Three Things I've Learned: Round one v Fremantle.
1. Conversion in front of goal is the biggest hurdle to over come.
2. We have capacity for irresistible football that can make a flag wag.
3. We're taking over.

Re: Three Things I've Learned: Round one v Fremantle.
1. Wood may very well be the next captain. Very cool head, gutsy and a genuine superstar. Pav didn't have an answer when they were matched up.
2. Roughy earned his shot at number one ruck for a while. He dominated the freo rucks and his tap work was class. That big grab up forward was icing on the cake
3. I may be the only one but I liked what we showed in quarters 2 and 3. We completely blanketed a good outfit, harassed around the contest and showed we could grit through a rough period. It was the cement to go with the silk of quarters 1 and 4

1. Jake Stringer is Batman.
2. Toby McLean is Robin.
3. I'm pretty sure Bontempelli is superman. A Brownlow would confirm it.

In this case I actually go to the movies to see Batman Vs Superman. Don't know who to barrack for though.

Re: Three Things I've Learned: Round one v Fremantle.
1/ Our tackling was immense.. Bring that willingness to halt the opposition and we win most weeks.
2/ Our run from behind will be the envy of all.
3/ Dale is Dale.. Just a machine.

Re: Three Things I've Learned: Round one v Fremantle.
Woods screamer.
Stringers goals
Tom Boyd no doubt grew confidence today.
Bring back the biff

Re: Three Things I've Learned: Round one v Fremantle.
1. New Bald Eagle in town. The peroxide was never a good idea.
2. Freo thought they were coming for a sunday stroll, according to Ross Lyon. Who were they kidding?
3. Loved the final three goals at the end, good to see we don't hang up the boots too early.

Re: Three Things I've Learned: Round one v Fremantle.
1. There is a sence of pride and care in our players for each other. They all seem to genuinely like each other. See when Dunkley and Liberatore kicked their goals.
2. Jake Stringer is the most frequently freakish player i have seen play for our club.
3. If Roughead and Boyd can stay fit they can provide great flexibility and can each play the number 1 ruck role if required allowing the other to play forward or back.
