Official EFC v Dockers Review thread

first it’s only round 2. and then it’ll just be round 6, and then 13, then 17, then 19. then we’ll throw in some dodgy performances at home and guess what, we’re 7th again. same stuff every year, same excuses. freo are average.

No didn’t watch them but I know he did well. Just answering Nocturnal who is probably commenting on Fyfe’s form as compared to when he played last week.

And you can complain about those performances after those matches.

Fremantle are a great team at home. Always have been.

Steinberg defending and Ryder was packing his bags. Good times.

Nah they are average Freo are tipped to finish bottom 4 by everyone and we made them look like a top 4 side not good enough for a team that wants to play finals and go deep into finals

admit it, you lost your ■■■■ when ryder did that BIG BA-NA-NA in the 3rd.

Nah I don’t buy it.
Their pressure tonight was top 4 quality.

We should have matched it, but didn’t.

Fair enough but don’t be surprised if GC beat them convicnly next week

say again? fremantle won 5 of 12 at domain last year.
they won 8 games in total last year and have lost 7 of their last 8.

they won 4 games in the entire 2016 season.

what a load of cr*p, but whatever gets you through mate. we all have different ways of coping.

The thing that gets me is all the Instagram posts leading up to the game - sitting by the pool, hanging out at Crown, winery tours. Seems like they were in holiday mode.

So frustrating that mentally the players cannot get themselves set for these games.

Sounds like a lot of the players just thought they could rock up and get the job done, we sure played like that

Was Goddard one of those? I bet he was sitting in his hotel room pre pairing for the game menatly and phsyically

Exactly. And while it’s only round 2, the club needs to start nailing that mentality on the head.

Freo were well prepared and driven to win this game. We didn’t seem too fussed either way.

Only post from Goddard was him at dinner at the Merrywell. I agree though, he’d be the one preparing for the game.
