Twos aren't putrid,  they're just waaaay out if their weight division with almost no KP players.   Theres some potential in Carroll, Kemp,  Ramsay ET AL.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

ps why id we change our 'plan' come Q2.

We started sagging off our opponents and letting them transition way, way too easily.

It was bizarre the transformation....

Our mids got (too) cocky I reckon.
They put Mundy in the middle and I thought he made that change happen.Bigger body and their other mids profited. Plus Darcy started to get some control...
Lucky Freo didn't kick well for goal when they had control of the game.

We didn't freo asserted centre square dominance.

We couldn't get our hands on the footy and when we did we turned it over.

Fyfe, Darcy and mundy went up a notch and we struggled with it.

Last nights match was an arm wrestle where we took the ascendancy early, almost finished it off before freo got going and then after quarter time spent 2.5 quarters trying to keep our fist off the table before they tired and we reversed it and pushed them out of it.

They froze more than we won but that in itself is about belief and tenacity which is pleasing to see in our team.

Don't know why Kennedy isn't in the 22 every week, handy foot soldier in multiple roles.
Think Fly and myself have been saying same for a while, he won't be a star especially vs the real class mids but he will always try and can take over from Ed Curnow in that soldier role.

Not in Q2. Yes, when we went to sleep half way through Q3.

In q2, 3 of their 4 goals were from turnovers - largely bad disposal by our lot.

All that aside, all square at 3-4 time. Anyone's game.

We wanted it more.

2.5 to 0.2 says it all.

Finals, then 4 in a row!

We've got a good record against that mob,  other than them being flaky and god awful slow I don't understand why.

Fate had a lot to do with it, just as Freo geared up with Mundy, Fyfe and Darcy all on ball, Cripps wrecked his foot.

I'm a bit surprised we didn't pull the trigger on Ed to stop Mundy, I suppose the MC want to see the response from Dow and Kennedy. I also think on another day we might have pegged SoJ to tag a Mundy or Fyfe, but we are probably grateful the MC didn't!

I'm a bit surprised by the manner of this result, pre-game I pegged the KPPs as the key, and I think we saw the dominance of Freo's last night, yet we scrapped over the line with little impact from BigH or Levi. Probably SoJ was our most effective KPF.

Weitering and Jones do well, even better sometimes when Jones isn't kicking it directly to opponents.

Weitering is the other level player he always promised to be, he's becoming that Harry Taylor type, in a year or so he'll be doing he same stuff with half the apparent effort.

The lad tackles hard, you know if he tackles you, you'll feel it.

He finds the pill and space well.

And generally uses the ball well. Very good overhead too.

And he's not as 'slow' as many think....

If he can get 20-25 touches a week, that fills a void.

They are carp other than their mids.. and when Mundy retires they will really feel it.
Fans in Freo are ferals too, enjoy beating Freo more than a few other teams.
Can't warm to Longmuir either...

Dow played OK last night, but I think he was actually better the week before.

Dow and Walsh still have the habit of handing out some horrible hospital hand passes.

Was that Walsh that Weiters spat the dummy with in the last quarter? It looked to me like Weiters expected Walsh to make 3rd man up and instead Walsh peeled off to rove the contest/spoil and Weiters paid out on him!

Unforgiving game AFL, you have to do 100% right 100% of the time or it can be very costly.

Dockers are middle of the road like us presently.

Like us, they really on a few stars heavily - Fyfe, Mundy, Walters....

Darcy carved us up for big parts of last night. TDK needs to bulk up a bit, but off a limited off season, that's probably harsh re where his fitness is at....

Mundy ditto was burning us in patches....but Fyfe and Walters largely unnoteworthy.

For once, we wanted it more than the other lot - and we got the chocolates.

Nah second quarter they got busy about 10 mins in and we started panicking.

Mundy the big difference maker.

You think we changed plans, the fact is we had to because we weren't getting the footy and freo were killing us in the clearances (with some cheap frees from the umpires giving them some free goals).

Dow had 6 clearances and 11 touches...... in the first quarter last night.

No way he was going to keep that pace up for the whole game, but that was his best effort.
Last week it was more consistent, but did not dominate like he did in q1 last night.

Not saying it was a coaching directive, agreed the players starting panicking....
