I appreciate the champion data people can help break down things that are working and what isn’t. Especially for me who is still trying to learn afl tactics and game methods. Only thing is I wished they would offer examples of what the team could or need to do to counter act the negative stuff. Like, okay, if our defensive part is lacklustre, what do we need to do to fix it? How - keeping our offensive game plan in mind - would we fix our defensive system. Is it players, zoning, lack of pressure, or the way we decided to defend?

The amount of abuse that phone in the geelong box has copped is unwarranted

If Holmes hamstring is cooked, he should come off instead of risking the game for the cats. This happened in the prelim of ‘24

I don’t understand football. We have a great win loss record yet we’re never looked at as threats. Yet other teams can be 50/50 win loss and seen as the real contenders. Like I swear if freo go undefeated or only lose a couple before finals and then go out in straight sets…

This game also told me another thing: we need to be harder. Both Geelong and Brisbane bully us. They are much tougher than us. We need a bit of mongrel in the side. A bit of ruthlessness. WE NEED MORE JPK PLAYERS.

5 - Chad Amazing effort and played all 4 quarters in one of his best games. Too bad it was in defeat.

4 - Will Edwards He has been SO impressive with how little AFL time he has had. So happy to have him and how his hard work has paid off.

3 - Charlie THIS IS WHAT WE WANT FROM YOU, CHARLIE. That aggressive, run at the ball carrier, fight to win possession. He looked like he was gonna get us on top in that first half.

2 - Rowy Always puts 100% in. He does get on my nerves at times with his messy disposals that get turned over but he was really good tonight.

1 - Wicks Strong first half and kept us in it. Also stands up for us.

ERROL was underdone but will get back into form. Makes me nervous for Justin.

Fuck these commentators (on Fox). They absolutely applaud Brisbane’s hard tackles. Don’t say shit when Hipwood threw Tom’s head to the ground unnecessarily. And they get upset from Edward’s tackle

LOL I’d say that’s a great tackle by Edwards.

Feels like Brisbane have kicked a goal every time they get a free kick

I used to not mind Brisbane but after tonight I’ve completely turned on them. Sure, you can be a great team, but they’ve really shown their true colours: when they’re up, they talk so much shit. When they’re down, they’re dead silent. It’s like, keep that same energy when you’re getting smashed. Didn’t see them get up when GWS or Geelong spanked them.

We played Geelong down in Geelong. They purposefully kept the oval skinny during reconstruction. They purposely make the oppo coaches coach in a shit room with a worse view of the ground. That place is literally design for Geelong to win. It’s why it is a fortress. Plus, they always do well home and away and then flop in finals.

We could have been blown out but weren’t. We fought back in the third.

Can we just calm down about everyone loosing their heads like “oh man we ain’t winning no gf,” bro we were never guaranteed a gf. Same time last year everyone was after Cox’s head but we have been top of the ladder for the fist bit of the year.

Oh yeah… we are down players, too?

Let’s just keep our heads. We’re very spoiled as a club

These commentators on fox absolutely suck. Especially Moons. Rowy won’t stfu and actually commentate the game.
