We beat Freo at the G by 1 point in 1996 and the scoreline was the same as today, 90-89.

It was a great come from behind win. We certainly looked good when we play the running handball game of half back and win centre clearances AND put pressure on the ball carrier. Suddenly we are back to the team that was second on the ladder.
BUTā¦too many basic errors. A key forward (Langford) with the kicking yips. A midfield that can (and did) go missing for significant portions of the game. A defence that has a bad tendency to panic.
Can we PLEASE drop Laverde?
A good first game from Archie.
I love that we won. I would like to play finals. But we still look like we would get thrashed in the elimination final. Itās just sssssooooo hard to trust the club.

Lol actually thought of that while sat on the train.
This game just proves how much of a sugar hit he is.
No more.

Heās had a week off, thus will need some sort of a run next week.
Even if only 2.5 to 3 qtrs.
If we finish 8th we will get pumped. Iād rather miss the 8 then suffer another elimination final thrashing
Dont worry about it. Enjoy this day. Losing by 25 points, everything against us including our history and they go bang. That was absolutely immense by that playing group

If we are going to make the 8, I think it can only really be at the expense of Carlton.

Weāll see.
If Hepp wants a chance at playing in a Final, then he has to play some VFL.

Just curious, the last time we played Freo at the G was Round 14 1999.
Was anyone at that game?
Draper and Shiel were huge in that last quarter.

Sorry, but that attitude has to go. If you want the club to succeed you need to expect more. Otherwise we will never move forward.
Actually you are doing what I fear most. Jag a win and the problems go away for a week.

As much as Iād love to see them miss, the scum have an easy draw so theyāll get there.
Heād probably hold a Sherrin and wear a Bombers jumper.

Probably, the way the draw falls.
But then again its a weird season that keeps throwing up strange results.
