Reality always wins in the end.

Gibbs was reasonable on Mayne IMO but probably got judged on some of his skill errors in general play where he turned the ball over......I keep saying it but Gibb needs to be played onball and in attack and I would have moved Walker forward as well.......Gibbs is a midfield goalkicker not a defacto FullBack.
Mick didnt coach that well tonight IMO and let the game slide...

that episode with ballantyne stopped our momentum and gave it straight to them.

For what a ripped shirt?

It was crapful.  Rip his head of at least and cop a week or two.  Not his shirt.

Right, succinct and true. Now we know how ordinary we are/where we really are. 10-12th would be our ladder position. Even if we fluked a finals appearance, we would only embarrass ourselves.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Really?

Ballantyne drags in at least one of those every week.

We were 10 points down going into the last quarter.

Again, people  don't realize what a good player Mayne is and how important he is to Freo.

If the rest of the side had done its job then Gibbs' efforts would have been the difference, but alas Bryce has to cop the blame for 5 guys who didn't turn up !

Yes really.  Premiership sides dont make massive blues like that when the game is hot and you are riding the momentum. 

Undisciplined one upmanship. 


That one moment changed the game.  We had to claw back to ten points because that incident resulted in a couple of quick goals to Freo and their biggest lead of the match.  We should have been up, not fighting our way back AGAIN.

So that loss is due to an almost BOG (for us) performance.

Crazy talk.

100% spot on EB1. Gibbs deserves a nice old rocket for what he dished-up when he had the ball in his hands tonight. He got lucky in that the delivery to Mayne wasn't all that great. Fail.
Football is life, there is nothing else....

Bunch of soft spuds.  Last qtr was diabolical. 

Nowhere near it and cant see us getting better.  We have wasted the last 5 yrs thinking it would come good. 

We are nothing but flat track bullies.

Best opposition I have seen all year. Ruthless!

Not sure about best, but clearly a class above us. And I thought we had a crack for 3/4's.

We just ain't good enough.

Gibbs is hardly the problem - he is in fact a champion midfielder being asked to play out of his natural position. Ditto Walker, who is wasted in defence and would have been useful running through the middle tonight.

Walker, Judd, Gibbs, Waite (on a wing), Robinson, Carazzo all playing through the midfield are more than capable (physically and talent wise) of matching it with Mundy, Fyfe, Crowley and Barlow. prefer to start Cachia in defence to play a lock down role, such as the one that Gibbs played on Mayne and lets never waste Walker on a pest like Ballantyne - bring back Joseph for those roles.

Up forward, we are kidding ourselves with Rowe - he's not up to it. Casboult has so much more to offer and wjo knows how good he could be stationed at ff with hendo at chf. Warnock also needs to play and i'd be cutting our losses with Brock and blooding Graham.

By Round 19 the Ladder indicates how good you are. Last night as not a Reality Test, it was reality.
We might make the finals, but selections have to be for next year from now on.
We will make the finals if Essendon loses it points.
Forward planning now guys 

Hard pruning of the list was always going to be necessary.
Hard pruning of the Coaching staff as well.
Train some young talent in both coaching and list Mick !

Excuse me MM?
What time is our "sausage sizzle" this week? ::)

For all those calling for Jibbs to be played in midfield............ MM himself when he first arrived at Carlton said that he saw Jibbs' role more as a midfielder too.  What does it say about Jibbs then that come the end of the year, he's in the backline again????  Says to me that he aint anywhere near good enough to be a permanent midfielder!

Bar those first 5 games or so, holy cow has Simmo been worth every bit of his salary this year!!
Too little and Way too late. Pull your fingers out boys!!
