Well that to is a problem within itself unka2

Lack of leg speed in the middle was a telling factor today.. A team full of half back flankers will never win you a flag.. Is Clarke & griffen the 2 worst ruck man in the comp!?!?!? The dogs would of beaten anyone today they were that good. Sandi & Johnson would of made no difference.. Dogs should of won by 100 points.

Hopefully the last game for Ballantyne though.

5's a bit rich from Sandi.

Johnson also looks very proppy I am sad to say.

Ballantyne has been crap now for 2 yrs, needs to go back to spud peel, but they wont as apparently he is a mega superstar cult clown following.

If the kids don't get games and we head southwards then Ross hasn't changed.

Hmmmm what I he does play "the kids" BUT the game plan remains the same?????[/quote


Spot on!

Freo applied zero pressure and no one has a forward line as bad as theirs.

What a farking idiotic statement.Stupid is as stupid says.
Tool of the first degree.
We couldn't get yeo wehen he came back from Brissie as he requested a swap to the Eagles.
Lots of we coulda, we didn't.
Maybe now is the time , with out throwing the baby out with the dish water, to say to the younger boys, here is a chance for you to cement a place.Take it with both hands.Then say to the likes of C Pearce Mzungu Deboer and a few others, the kids are having a shot now.You want your spot back go to Peel and rack up 40 plus possessions every week and give your all.
Maybe changes, but let's face it, we didn't have Sandi, he is worth 5 to six goals a week to us.We didn't have Johnson, he is the cement of the back line.
The season has only just begun.

As much as I hate Freo anchor you're right-it's game 1 of the season ffs! How can you write any team off this early? I just watched the Eagles game and how rusty were they??? Didn't get a lot of confidence out of that. I do think tho, if the little shit ballantyne doesn't pick up, then he's becoming a spud.

Yep a lot of overreaction from one game i remember Freo being eighty points up at halftime against the Eagles and they ended up making the GF.

Thing is Freo have been going slowly downward IMHO since about halfway thru last season, so its NOT just game 1 this season.

Yeah well I'm prepared to give them more than one game I wouldn't be righting them off just yet, and if It looks like Freo needs to rebuild so be it I havnt seen any proof that Lyon can't do this, people seem to forget he didn't get the chance at the Saints because they farrked around extending his contract and that's when Freo swooped, so there is no proof that he can't devolop or rebuild a side.
