Rd 18 vs Fremantle Dockers @ Optus Stadium

Much better quarter we just couldn't convert. Our pressure was up and clearances improved. Just need to stop kicking points. We really needed that Buddy goal.

[i'm-uninformed2]

We’ve got to approach this like the Melbourne game where inaccuracy hurt us early but we played ok and ran over the top.

Darcy a big lump - but killing Hickey. Still not sure why he got a free for falling over, but getting embarrassing for big Tom.

Hitouts 32 to 9....Hickey with 6. Darcy....26.

I think Errol's been our best. Makes the difficult look simple. Florent has been very good, as well. Shame he just missed his goal of the year contender. Umpires still missing plenty, like our forwards. Definitely in the game.

Not that it matters now but I was sure that Banfields goal in that quarter went over the goal post not beside and when they replayed it on Fox then one of the commentators said they thought the same thing the graphic of the ball trajectory certainly placed it over or just to the right of the goal post.

Errol has been outstanding. It looks like Horse has given him a role inside today. We were really the much better team that quarter except at kicking for goal.

[Foreign Legion]

And I really look forward to having that smarmy grin if his being wiped off his face by the end of the game.

Haha

Same here - I think he has a high opinion of himself.

I can't understand why our guys are told to (I assume) back off their opponents who are about to receive a kick. Their opposite is to get as close as possible and they end up getting more of the ball to work with.

I thought it was a behind, but I might be biased?

Clarke is having a shocker - completely out of his depth.

[Mel]

A much better second quarter. Best game from Erol in a while and Ollie is playing really well too. A few of them need to lift still and boy do we need to kick straight.

I immediately booked a specsavers appointment after that decision was given.
