Need to make a statement in the third quarter.

We’ve stuffed it. This is emblematic of this squad. Very capable. Capable of grinding to a halt, then getting scored on very heavily, in quick succession.

It was similar to the GF capitulation. Completely on top to panic.

Only difference is we've still got time.

Well I hope the message is - you DOMINATED them with pressure for 40 minutes. Bring that again and you win this game.

We got tired and lazy, and they got a few lucky breaks. Still 15 points up at half time of an elimination final.

And if we remain tired ? We used a lot of petrol in that quarter and a half.

Some really poor umpiring, that was another rubbish decision.

A crowd decision

We thought it would all come too easy. Some easy options. Decided to not go as hard. Started to believe we were better than we were.

This team when it believes it just can win on skill and flair … LOSES. It needs to bring the pressure, the intensity and hunger to allow the skill and flair to show. That’s how it works for us.

Well. As per usual our inability to real establish scoreboard pressure has let them back into it.

We really need an avenue to goal that isn't scrambled around ball in the forward line.

We butchered the ball delivering into 50 m in the last 10 mins of that 2nd quarter. High ball for pack mark, no chance of getting the ball then . Freo rebounds and kicks 3 goals. So predictable.

Teams just need to wait for our crap 50 m pressure.

What has VDM offered today ?

JJ needs to start tackling freo players instead of trying to dance on his front toes.

Freo lift some of their work rate and we crumble.

A few fumbles and almost moments. It’s not panic stations. They’ve come back as expected. Need to be clean and we win

Been shocking. Need to grind this out now with an emphasis on competing more aggressively at the stoppages.

Re: WB Game Day 1st Elimination Final 2022 vs Fremantle

We also have a few players under done which won't help in the last half - Toby, JJ, Keath.

THis is going to take some effort.

Didn't like the way they walked off the ground. The body language wasnt good.

Re: WB Game Day 1st Elimination Final 2022 vs Fremantle

At quarter time I got a text from a Pies mate saying see ya next week. I said to him it will be 6 goals to 4 at half time…no joke.

Me same w/o the prediction.

Re: WB Game Day 1st Elimination Final 2022 vs Fremantle

need astro and tiny to lift. Either of them have a big 3rd qtr and we win.

Re: WB Game Day 1st Elimination Final 2022 vs Fremantle

The worst part we could lose this by 10 goals.

Re: WB Game Day 1st Elimination Final 2022 vs Fremantle

Is someone going to mention that when their back was just about broken Bont had an easy set shot and fluffed it?

[Mitcha]

Re: WB Game Day 1st Elimination Final 2022 vs Fremantle

No problem with the effort and intent tonight but quite simply we don't get bang for buck when dominating sides. Keeping them and the crowd in it. Getting nothing from our three tall forwards.

That was going to be my moment.
