For mine Hampson and Anthony week to week propositions and have a proven history of soft tissue injuries. Loresch 200 plus cm and on the Gold Coast list for 2 to 3 years without cracking a senior game. Drafted from South Colts, a wait and see for mine.

Very true regarding Loersch.....did have a couple of 6 plus hauls in the NEAFL though when he did play.....I guess with Tom Lynch ahead of you in the FF queue, I can see why Loersch didn't get a game TBH....also Peter Wright was a top 10 draft pick and he is a forward too.....definitely need a target up front who can take a grab......I guess with Loersch, Howson, Perham, Griffen and Bristow on the park Wiley has a few options...

EF just need to find away to finish games off.....looks like they should of beaten Peel now that Perth beat them yesterday, nearly gave the game away v Perth last week too.....definitely missed Hampson v Cl, but with his injury history that seems to be common practice.....is Jamie Mac on his last legs?.....good footballer in his prime, but perhaps it is time to get games into the likes of Harding, Burton and Holmes.....even Zac Jackson or Jayden Quill......

Was a good game. The free kick was dubious at the end and it proved decisive. I saw it live would have called play on. Sharks look very good at times and at other times uninterested

It was ball up all day long. The free kick before that free kick was ball in. Moments before all this silliness Perham was met front on by a Claremont defender when trying to mark the ball and of course no free kick.

We had a poor 3rd term and that is what we must blame for the loss. You have to play 4 solid quarters of football to win. But i will not question the players endeavour because they did not give it away and got their noses back in front but at the end the umpire decided the result - and that is a disgrace.

If it came down to a poor umpiring decision in the end my heart genuinely goes out to EF, just shouldn't happen.

You think your umpiring was poor? Should have seen WP v SF game
The frees count discrepancy just proves that.

Apparently it's quality not quantity differentiation of the free kicks Roman....plus SF didn't lose so not sure your point TBH.....

Don't comment when you never see a game and rely on others who are there. I see every game and call it as I see it. Your just sour grapes coz you lost.

If any East Fremantle supporter has sour grapes who could blame them. We were robbed!

Roman, we were first to the ball the majority of the day, I know Freeze says that its the quality not quantity tongue in cheek but I would swap your frees for ours 1000 times a week as 5 of the 12 you got resulted in goals that were not payed at the other end.

LOL says the fella who believes the umpiring at the SF game was worse than at the EF game..and yet wasn't even at the EF game....farking hilarious......how can I have sour grapes Roman, when I didn't even see the EF game as you rightly point out then?...EF lost the game when their last 4 scoring shots in time on, were 4 behinds....the rub of the umps while frustrating....evens itself out over time........any way I believe Ti Em's view or my brothers / mates views...who were at the EF game over yours any day......LOL....

Spot on with the tongue n cheek comment Leedy....pity Roman is a few pennies short to acknowledge that....but hey he is a SF fan come end of the day... apparently it's a DNA anomaly
