    Three things I have learned- R6 v Fremantle.

    three things
    three things
    just tell us three things you know now,
    that you didn't know before the game
    right now, right now, right now.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    1. An AFEL captain can register 14 AFL FP's.
    2. Naughton in 7 quarters was the same as Schache in 8 quarters before demotion. Maybe none of our KPF options stand a chance. Boyd couldn't either. Maybe it's not the pick 1, 2 & 9 players. (Naughton back, and who knows up forward).
    3. English will become the gun we thought. Set shots need a lot of work.

    1. Hunter & Macrae are a blessing and a curse. Tonight was more curse like.
    2. Easton Wood is just about done.
    3. Caleb has been our best player this year.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    1. If we're serious as a club, we need to acknowledge we're going nowhere until we address our inability to convert on goal. There are a number of hard calls that need to be made.
    2. Bailey Smith and English are going to be very good AFL players, hopefully with us.
    3. We've now given up the first goal in games EVERY game this year. That to me says we are reactive and lack confidence.

    1. Daniel is our best player in that he makes the best decisions ball in hand and executed better than any of our other players. Macrae and Bont among others could learn a thing or two from him. Daniel is class.

    2. There’s better forward groups playing local level. It’s pitiful this is the best we can dish up.

    3. Dickson is done. Thanks and bye.

    Another one:

    We should have done more to keep Hamling. Massive loss.

    1. Smith and English are going to be good (hopefully in our colours)
    2. I was right last week about our leaders. They don't lead (well)
    3. Umpires need to go full time.

    3. Dickson is still cooked
    2. Gowers is no good/over rated
    1. Daniel is just so good to watch. English and Smith will be guns.

    1. Become a captain so you're immune.
    2. Be a rookie and get more chances in the seniors
    3. The umps actually are biased over there

    1. Daniel would have to be one of the craftier players in the game. His vision and disposal are remarkable.
    2. English took huge strides tonight - I wonder if it was any coincidence that he got a bit of a chop out.
    3. Hamling is a damn good footballer. What I wouldn't give to have him back in our colours.

    Re: Three things I have learned- R6 v Fremantle.

    English and Smith will be very very good in time.
    Caleb Daniel hardly makes a mistake.
    We have said for what, 4 years, we need a specialist goalkicking coach. Other than the Hawks game we have kicked 45.70 plus those that missed altogether.

    Caleb Daniel take a bow
    The forward needs a complete overhaul
    English and Smith will be stars

    Re: Three things I have learned- R6 v Fremantle.

    1. English is coming along nicely
    2. Macrae still refuses to have a shot at goal and tries to centre the ball only for the opposition to take it all the way down to the other end.
    3. Our mids ran out of a bit of puff again and allowed Freo to win the centre in the last and over run us like Pies did.

    Hooooly sheeeeeeeet!

    45.70??!

    Coaches need to get a grip and accept they can't do this. Get someone who can.

    Our results smack of inexperience.
