Starts at 16:20 our time.
Great to see Cez with the 1st goal against the old mob
Costly fumbles near the goal square
It was a mistake to drop Owies to sub.
What a soft free kick FFS
We're playing with hesitation. Dockers have stifled us
1 clearance
Lost this one boys. Pack her up
Fantasia - great tackle on Fyfe

Early call
Hold your nerve. The boys will settle and bring the pressure
Given they've had the ascendancy, -1pt at q time is a win for us.
Go Blues
"lost this one" wow, not much faith Tex. 2 points down and we haven't got to work yet.
Slow, mistake riddled start to q2.
Time to get to the contest
Good tackle H.
Cotrell working his butt off
Charlie getting mauled
Freo defence is excellent
Well done Cotterell 👏🏼
Improved clearance work. Hopefully it flows from there
Charlie was benched the last 5 minutes of the north game with an ankle.
He has stopped and/or stayed down a few times today and reaching for his ankle, he is clearly not right.
I'd move him into the ruck a bit more and let him run in straight lines for a while, all the stopping/propping and changing direction and launching at the ball is going to break him. Let him stand in the ruck contest and tackle.
edit: and right on cue they show him on the bench with his ankle getting restrapped.
Awful
First clean play - H point
Too many disposals are hesitant
Lucky we're only -3pts
I think we've got this game.
We are playing very poorly and have done for most of the match so far......which is very unlike us.
We'll turn it on in the premiership quarter and cruise to victory by 5+ goals.
Considering how awful we were, the favouritism they got from the Umps, they cant play any better and its only 3 pts. We need to get back to what we do best, contested footy and hard running. Clearances, which is our 1 wood, are 20-10 there way. Tells the story I reckon.
Now we've picked up around the ball, we need to find a way to score.
23 i50's for 23 points isn't going to win the game. Hopefully we can change something up. Hate to say it but it's a credit to Freo defence
They have just negated us. We have held strong and if we are good enough we will wear them down.

Contested mark by Charlie and goal helps

Make that 2
Bring the pressure Owies 💪
Why when a player gets caught holding the ball are they fair game to be smashed off the turf afterwards?
The holding the ball rule is so unclear it is not funny

3 goals for them.

Thats weeks for Fog

Not really, when you take on a tackler at the top of your defensive goal square, youre gone. They have kick 3 or 4 from those.
Is Cripps playing?
We are 8 points down. Yet we have had 2 more scoring shots.
We are not playing terrible (not playing great) but we are shooting ourselves in the foot.
....and the umpires are not helping.
They are just working much harder to get into space when they have the ball and then clogging up our space when we have it.
If nothing changes, including the umping, our chances of a W fade
Go Blues

Precisely
Lucky to be 9 pts down.
Small forwards needs a rejig and dropping Owies was not it.
Said it for the BL prelim too, and we missed him in that.

You called the game over in the first term. We've been in front since then. All these years later, your negativity still holds strong.
Frustrating game to watch. Need some quick clean ball movement into the forward line. H needs to lift with a few mates. Crippa has gone to check on the baby btw...
Half way through yhe 3rd Freo took over
They'll go on with this, our attack on the footy is timid at best today.
They have grinded us down.
I have never seen so many smothers in a game.
Supersub Owies

Good to get a free when we mark it
So -4
What have we got?
Good to get a free when we mark it
Yep, had a chuckle at that too.
Someone get on the phone to Marc Murphy and Jack Newnes
There is the even-up-ener we were waiting for.
Dumb as dog crap
Thats the ball game I affraid
Out coached
If you drag the ball in you are gone.
But it YOU are gone....how can you blow the whistle?
4 or 5 goals from the dumbest acts at the top of the square, in a low scoring game is criminal. Still, all credit to them, they have worked harder all day.
Not dead yet
7.13
Well done Williams and Charlie
Holding my breath
Breathe
Thankyou Cottrell
What???
DOES. NOT. MISS.
.....and another one!
Praying for Chugga
That was a bl<>dy heart stopper
Ironic really that the umps got us over the line, they were BOG for Freo.
First time since 1995 that we're 4 and zipppppp-a-deedooda 🫡
6 of their 9 were from frees they can suck it up.
Focus at training. Don't leave it to the last 3 minutes.
Go Vossy
This team is built different. Supporters need to catch on to that.
When they got their 9th we started to go all out attack. I said to my father in law we will either win or they will kick a couple more.
