Three things I've learned-round 3 V Freo.
Three-o, Three-0
Tell us three things
You learned against Freo.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Three things I've learned-round 3 V Freo.
1. I thought our team wouldn't squander a 14 point lead at 3/4 time. I thought that stuff was a thing of another time.
2. I like Fletch Roberts officially.
3. Tom Campbell 'might' just be a younger Will Minson. We know what Bevo thinks of those types of ruckmen.

Re: Three things I've learned-round 3 V Freo.
1. Travis Cloke isn't the panacea (I knew this already, but thhought I'd repeat it!)
2. The demons of the past, though very quiet, are still there.
3. We really, really, really need Rough back. And we're not getting him for a while...

4. Losing 5 games left us in 7th spot last year. I'd hope to improve. That's 1 now.

Re: Three things I've learned-round 3 V Freo.
1. You have to work hard to win games - this was a kick up the backside to remind us.
2. Adams, my god - some good things but the old brain fade cost us
3. I hate playing at that venue.

Re: Three things I've learned-round 3 V Freo.
1. Daniel needs to be dropped. Decision making and skill execution is so poor, if he's not doing those two things well then he shouldn't be playing.
2. We have a genuine issue with clearances and contested ball, I suspect it's more from an attitude perspective.
3. We have too many half backs in this side.

Re: Three things I've learned-round 3 V Freo.
1. Turn up with a bad attitude, or no work rate, you get beat in this comp.
2. I was less confident as soon as I saw Dawson out of their side.
2. Fingers crossed this is the kick in the bum we need

Re: Three things I've learned-round 3 V Freo.
1) It's a 4 quarter game and slow starts and slower finishes are awful to watch
2) Our skill level isn't really improving and yet it was a focus when Bevo arrived
3) Wins have covered just how far we are off the mark when the work ethic isn't quite there

Re: Three things I've learned-round 3 V Freo.
1. Half the team obviously enjoy frequent flyer points more than the contest.
2. Campbell wouldn't get a gig next week if we had anyone to replace him.
3. Fletcher Roberts is doing some good work this year.

Re: Three things I've learned-round 3 V Freo.
Jong continues to impress.
Our game plan needs tweaking. We don't we get numbers to the ball anymore?
I get really nervous when Adams and Biggs are under pressure deep in defence.
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

Re: Three things I've learned-round 3 V Freo.
1/ if you turn up and aren't totally switched on then you will lose
2/ I'd have liked Hamling to be playing for us
3/ we miss Roughie
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Three things I've learned-round 3 V Freo.
Losing still hurts. A lot.
Adams makes me unbelievably nervous.
Biggs' loss of form shows what an important player he has been for us. He was such a linkman in transition out of defence.
and a fourth - it was a really bad time for us to lose Joel Hamling. He's got a lot of upside.

Re: Three things I've learned-round 3 V Freo.
1) Losing, even if your team won the GF the year prior, still sucks
2) No 3rd man up rule has really hurt us
3) I miss men of mayhem

Re: Three things I've learned-round 3 V Freo.
1. Effort and set up are the most important aspects of the game these days given the competition is as tight as it is
2. We have multiple players really struggling, more than I thought they were and it's costing us
3. Libba isn't used well on the inside as heavily or in the particular way he is. We need to find a way to free him up so he can use his leg and get his hands on the footy more than he is. We don't have enough elite kicks in the side to hide him, perhaps when Wallis comes back into the fold we can free Libba up a bit
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Re: Three things I've learned-round 3 V Freo.
1. Don't mouth off at 3/4 it will bite me on the bum.
2.After a great night on fri with the premiership cup the dogs can spoil a perfect weekend.
3. cant think of third too disappointed.
PS. We really missed Picken, probably would have won if he wasn't injured.
