We deserved to win this win about as much as we did last week.

The only difference is, that a real side would have put Freo away with 10 minutes to go when we kicked all those behinds.

we really failed to pile on the scoring when we needed to, which made it much closer than it should have been.

Carbon copy of Port game, roles reversed.

They peppered the scoreboard, but couldn't find the big ones until after it mattered. We should've been put away before then. Almost lucky to make it that far.

Only difference was, we got screwed over in front of goal in both games.......got a bonus on the freo game at the end though.

I didn't give Newness a hope in he'll of kicking that. I had already accepted the loss.

He's been wearing that knee bandage for years now so hard to tell. You can see cupping marks under his jumper but I recall seeing those last year so again, hard to tell. I just reckon he is trying to too hard. I cant remember who made the comment on TV or radio but they compared Fyfe and Cripps playing style. Fyfe sits off the contest at a ball up then moves in hitting it on the move. Cripps sits under it more and gets belted as soon as he wins it. As Diesel also said on SEN, he loves the physical contact but too much. Needs to sit off it a little more and minimise the hits.

Watched him closely on Saturday night and he was really laboring when running. Could be groin issues which might make senses as he is not getting any penetration with his kicking. They are more going up higher than longer, which may make sense of why he may of tried to run around 3 players in a previous game a few weeks ago when taking a set shot from 50.

Reported a month ago that Cripps had an injured sternum.

I think i recall him having potential quad issue at one stage too.
Whether its knee, groin, quad or whatever......he has never been a confident kick. Especially from 50. He lacks penetration from set shots.

Same, we were watching it and my daughter says "Do you reckon he'll kick it" to which I replied "not a hope in hell, we dont pinch games after the siren". Happy to be proven wrong, best win in a very long time.

Don't understand the Weitering criticism floating around, excluding two seriously dud umpiring decisions, and one shocking toe stub kick, I reckon he got the better of his opponent!

btw. What is it with these big FFs not having to face the football in those one on one battles, is this a new rule? That is two games, this one against Freo and the Aints game, that a resting ruckmen/FF has basically turned their back to the ball and thrown our KPD to the ground while the ball is 30m away and not been penalised!

Re: FF antics
I've been wondering that too. No idea what's going on 🙁

Must say, deeply impressed with Newnes’ composure, didn’t think he had that in him ; and I mean taking his time, making sure the cameraman moved and then still made a fuss to move the security guy and his darn cables. Very impressive.

Also note Eddie came up to both Jones & Newnes -
Leadership.

Yes. Newnes took it on like a professional. Prepare the site. Unload the tools, and get the job done. As it turned out, Eddie and the crew gave him a hand with the clean up 😄

I think Newnes may well come out of his shell now.

His better years at St K. saw him average 23 disposals a game. Thus far with us, averaging 11.

Hard to compare at the moment. I think games are on average about 20 mins shorter, which results in almost one quarter less.

Game styles differ a little at the minute too, where teams are going faster which results in less chains of posession and longer kicks into the forward line.

Still, lets hope you are right.

I still have painful memories of him kicking goals against us for the Saints.
