We need Leon Cameron to replace Bevo. We have no plan B
BB.
Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

Can we get a forward to hit up at the ball carrier? They all peel off over the back looking for the cheap one.

That effort from Weightman and Naughton typifies the day.
Just pathetic.

That’s the problem when you only have 2 genuine fwds playing in Weightman and Bruce
Look at Coll last night with Elliott, Johnson and Mihocek
I will never see #16 the same!!

Re: WB Game Day V Fremantle R21 2022
That first half was a *!*!*!*!ing disgrace.
Just a complete lack of on field leadership. Bont and Jacko aren't the guys to take us forward as our main leaders if that's what they're going to dish up when things aren't going our way.
Libba isn't any better, he plays undisciplined and unaccountable football all the time (but doesn't get called out for it enough), and for some reason thinks it's OK to mouth of and give away undisciplined fifty metre penalties.
Really bad stuff.

Even after such a horrific performance it basically comes down to set shots that loses you the game. They took chances, particularly in that first half. That was the ball game in the end.

Never thought I'd say this but we miss Ryan Gardner.

Win inside 50m, centre clearance, clearances, contested possessions all quite easily and still get done easily.

Clarko would not allow Freo to play a simple keeping off game for the WHOLE game.

I just logged on and wrote something similar to this on 'the moment' thread.
It was terrible esp. in the first half.

Every time we allow an opposition to control the football with uncontested marks we lose.
We turned it around in the second half but still weren't disciplined enough in the middle to get goal side in transition and again, too assertive at centre clearances when we should be aiming to nullify forward run.

Forwards who sit off and hope the ball gets over the defender... when Freo play three defenders and Luke Ryan who is an excellent reader of the ball.

As Collingwood showed last night you can throw stats out the window and win with desire. Our delivery into the forward 50 is woeful both from the delivery and the receiver. We hardly lead up rather try to win the ball over the top or out the back. Freo showed how to do it by leading.
