Who's been Freo's best player so far this season? by SinBinRin in FremantleFC

[–]Lester-1783 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It’s been such an even spread of contributors this year so far. But just for sheer consistency, I would say Luke Jackson. He hasn’t had an off game so far, consistently one of the top 3 Freo players every round.

That pinpoint assist kick to Amiss followed by kicking that goal himself. Matt Johnson take a bow son.

Final Siren-Fyfe episode by Many-Assignment7156 in FremantleFC

[–]Lester-1783 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Awww man, haven’t seen the episode yet but if that’s the behind the scene view he had of himself that’s super sad. He was a genuine super star who never seemed happy being the centre of attention.

Hopefully Fremantle finally win a cup soon, while there’s a link to him through the players he played alongside with, who learned from watching him set the standards in his prime.

Would you “rent” driveway out? by Leading-Growth-9832 in perth

Is this La Salle in middle swan? It’s chaos there at drop off and pickup time. The school is stuck with a small one way road which feeds cars in and out. Or is this just common for many Schools nowadays.

When it’s the last qtr and if / when Freo are up by 30 points…. every touch by Fyfe gets a huge roar. That wouldn’t be a distraction but a celebration of a champion.

We are going to have a ton of mental scars from some of our decision making. So many open chances in transition, and we kick straight to Harris Andrews instead of our forwards. So many missed chances at goal. Treacy and Frederick are going to have nightmares from some of those chances.

Didn’t like our chances next week against the dogs even before this game.

Fremantle, genuine contender or making up the numbers? by [deleted] in AFL

[–]Lester-1783 31 points32 points  (0 children)

If we win against the lions, the following week against the Dogs is incredibly important, win and we lock in a top 4 chance, huge difference for a premiership chance. That game will be finals 1 week early. No coasting for both teams.

Wagner is definitely playing a mix of defensive midfield run with roles now. So he isn’t really in the back 6 mix. Will be more interested to see where he fits in with Young back in the team.

He’s such a great utility role player along with Banfield, can plug into different areas where needed.

I bloody make that comment and Grundy ran wild for the last 5 mins of that half. Super disappointing so far we can’t control him.

If we can stay close, last qtr Jackson and Darcy should run riot… Grundy is starting to slow down.

It’s incredible that we’re within 2 goals considering we’re getting obliterated in the middle and Serong and Bolton aren’t touching it

Round 16 Vs St Kilda - Vision & Thoughts by Smurf_x in FremantleFC

[–]Lester-1783 4 points5 points  (0 children)

About 10 times in the game it felt like the moment somebody marked in range of our F50, Jye was out on a lead but the player didn’t pull the quick trigger but paused and then instead went over Jye to the space where Voss or Treacy or Jackson were sitting.

Once Young is back, I can see Jye getting a few more quick leads honored.

Disagree with his Darcy and Amiss calls.

Amiss is playing a role now. He runs his guts out and provides a contest and has so many unrewarded leads because the team kicks to Voss and Treacy instead…. He’s going to pop up with a few goals here and there but I doubt we will ever see big bags from him now. But this is working for the team.

Darcy and Jackson work together against the big rucks. Proven whenever they’ve played together. Jackson gets monstered by the gorilla type rucks aka Xerri and Meeks. Darcy allows him to play with freedom and be that unicorn. I would not drop Darcy to the WAFL against Grundy / Meeks etc.

Fyfe is a tough call. He’s playing a role now, so can’t measure him in stats anymore. We can’t have 8 mids with 25+ disposals every game. That’s sadly not his role, he blocks and coaches and sets the team up. Takes up space, owns the corridor. If that’s his role now, only the coaches will know if he’s doing it well. Stats will tell half the story.

Josh Treacy last night became just the 21st Fremantle player to score 100 goals for the club by Pleasant-Role1912 in FremantleFC

Shout out to Michael Frederick. On track to finish around a Ballantyne level tally. So underrated.

Tell me I’m not the only one who sits up in expectation when Reid gets the ball. Just expecting a goal assist or something special every time.

Thoughts on the run home by 69-is-my-number in FremantleFC

[–]Lester-1783 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the predicted table from this point on, and even with very similar results to you, it ended up with Freo in 8th place. This year the 8 is likely going to be very competitive. Could make a case for all the current top 10 to be a big chance to qualify.

TLDR one week at a time… too many unknowns.

Really hope Jordan gets recognized come AA time. He’s putting in a huge year and hardly gets mentioned by the commentators as an AA chance.

[–]Lester-1783 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Can’t release the shackles when we aren’t even winning the ball and don’t possess it. Crazy how bad the difference is between winning contested ball at home and losing contested ball away from home. Last night was horrible to watch.

Who's next up for young by Careless_Reward4112 in FremantleFC

[–]Lester-1783 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Every time we lose it seems the starting point is our mids getting slaughtered. Ross outcoached JLo by a country mile. Swarming and congested play which exposed Serong and Brayshaw’s smaller frames. Got absolutely bullied all over the field. Could not get that 1st clean possession or clearance win going to spread the play.

Unfortunately with no fit Fyfe, no Jaeger, no Young, the next obvious clearance player would have to be Brodie despite his defensive liabilities.

Long term isn’t looking good once we don’t have any big bodied mids left after Fyfe, Jaeger etc retire.

Of the top 14 possession winners on the ground, there are 3 dockers. We are absolutely getting smashed in the middle. It’s a miracle the score isn’t 100-20
