WTF???

Why have we imploded ????

Over 2 u...

I aint Anchor, but i reckon teams have sussed Ross's plan....does he have another one?.
Also he has a lot of foot soldiers which is good for the "system", but not enough "brilliance". dawson, Mugunzu, Sutcliffe, Neale, Crawley Spurr, Suban, cant have that many if the system aint working.

Freo had 55 entries into forward 50 to NM 45. Our forward line consisted of Pavlich and.......... Pavlich. There was more than enough to win the game. They need to address this urgently or the top 8 will be gone, top 4 has already gone.

The Alignment with Peel has turned the returning players into lemons! the losing culture has a flow on effect from reserves team to league..

All I can say is SUCK SHIT for wanting this stupid alignment

All quite valid points A/Man. Do you have any thoughts re the game plan?.( yes i know it got you to GF last year) The game evovles and basically it seems to me the version is the same he had at Saints. Hawthorn and the Swans seemed to know what was coming and i dont think Ross change much.

All sides have basically the same game plan, defend, keep hold of the ball and score. Other sides are just doing it better.

Hmm Ross's sides have always been more defensively minded though. Alot of teams move the ball on quickly, dont think Freo do that as often as other teams. They may be similar plans for all teams i agree, BUT there are subtle differences.

Being at the game our delivery inside50 was deplorable kicking it to Pav when he had two even three players hanging off him, the North defenders had a field day rebounding out of the back half.

We have to many foot soldiers at the moment Deboer, Suban and to a lesser extent Crowley who was soundly beaten by Boomer although I'm prepared to forgive after one bad game as he's done the job and is crucial to our structures.

We need to get Barlow and Balla back asap and add some class from somewhere I'm thinking Morabito has to be in contention and it remains to be seen whether Sylvia will get a call up, not all is lost 3 important games coming up WC, Geel, and Port will define our season.

Are you sure its not the stupid game plan. Think North had Swallow, Wells & Thompson out so that cancels Barlow & Ballantyne. North also had Daw who is a cadet. Lost three of last four. Thats a slump. TOO many "IFS". Lyon is a loose cannon.

Didn't see the game being away but the result made me bloody happy
Great stuff Kangas!!!
