Prediction Changes: Round 21 Vs Bulldogs + pre-match discussion

[Kapow!!!]

Consistently s**t

I maintain you haven't been a BigFooty Freo fan long enough if Clay hasn't had a go at you via PM for something. Say what you want about him: The man was passionate and articulate.

That Hogan bloke playing for GWS would be handy today.
Bloody hell I’d take Dardy McCrafty in our forwards today.

It is Bombers, Tabs looks like Lockett against their defence.

He slid into my pms and asked me something rather obtuse

Well here's my take on your post.

I have been a dockers supporter since late 2001-early 2002.

Is Ross Lyon a crap coach? Far from it. If you wanna know.

-He is the only coach to get us a finals win away from WA. Cats in Geelongistan and in the MCG

-only coach in our history to get us at least one finals win for 2 years in a row. 2012 and 2013


-the only time freo made finals for at least 2 years in a row from 2012-5

-only time Freo finished top of the ladder in 2015.

-only coach to get Freo top 4, get a finals win and made a preliminary final 2 times in 2013 and 2015

-only time Freo made a grand final in 2013.

Ross Lyon wasn't handed a great squad. It was solid but not excellent compared to hawks or cats in that era. Ross Lyon got the best out of a limited squad.

Also look what we achieved from 1995-2011: 3 times out of 17 years Freo made finals.

-2003 an Elim final loss

-2006 lost to crows in the qualifying final, won the semi vs the demons, lost the preliminary final vs the swans.

2010 beat the Hawks in an Elim final and got belted by cats at the MCG in the semi final.

6 finals between 1995-2011 isn't great. As I said, should of made finals each year from 2003-06 under coach Chris Connolly.

I also noticed some posters like benfica and it's only free real estate and other random dockers posters rocked up after 2016 just to bash Ross Lyon.

Ah.

You can polish a turd.

Unlucky for you

 

[God docker]

Unlucky for you

Not your fight. Jog on boy

 

[King Huskii]

No worries sport

 

[Kapow!!!]

Ah.

McDonald's is the most successful franchise on Earth by doing exactly that, what's your point?

 

[Freomaniac]

Ah.

You can polish a turd.

Again.... Out side of Ross Lyon. Is there any coach in freos history that has matched Ross Lyons 2012-15 era? Nope.

Again look back before 2011. Only 2 finals wins, 3 years out of 17 Freo made finals.


Also, Freo never made back to back finals meaning made finals for 2 seasons in a row.

Polish that turd mate

Clearly not the case.

 

[Freomaniac]

I can see Tabs kick 3 or 4 goals this week.

I can see Schulz or Fredrick get 12-15 disposals and get 3 goals as well. Gut feeling one of those 2 small bloke will do it

So Rory Lobb kicked 5 goals didnt he? Frederick kicked 3 goals vs the dogs too

Maybe a post to get a bite, But Hogan had many many chances to perform for us. He has always had the talent, but lacked the application. He was like a rabbit in the head lights here and in Melbourne. He could have farted in Melbourne or Perth and made headlines. But in Sydney, he does not even get a glance. Nobody in Sydney is a full on boffin for the AFL.
McCarthy, again had his chances but blew them. Showed his want for football when Souths dropped him , Took off with his ball under his arm and sulked.
Can't even get a game at Souths now.
Both had skills, but no application.

Agree, but it's even more than this. Hogan's minor off-field stuff in previous roles pales against typical NRL behaviour. Even DeGoey wouldn't get much press in Sydney.

And with Harley Bennell, he didn't work out either. Had injury problems. Had off field problems too. I don't have any animosity towards him either.

My point exactly.

 

[FDH16]

He's below average on every aspect your can poke your stick at.

We need to stop elongated careers of WAFL/SANFL level talents. He's just too small.

I am never wrong.
