Fremantles lack of scoring power

[Wizard]

The nucleus is there for a really good forward line, with the exception of quality small.

If we could switch Walters for a Pickett type we would be set from a F50 talent point of view.

 

[WilloTree]

oops

 

[Lach72]

Metropolis and Fewster are the only ones i can think of.

Greg Harding went the other way.
David Hynes from earlier

So you beat yet another team incapable of beating West Coast.

Funny how you come here bragging about scoring 100 points, my whole argument is that Fremantle didn't score enough to win a flag, and you claimed they didn't need to score 100 points to win a premiership. Yet every week you come in here and basically point out that I'm right by touting them scoring a AFL not AFLW grade score. So why aren't you in here every time they score 60 points saying how certain they are to win a flag with low scoring? Why do you keep pointing out that I'm right and you're wrong?

Have you compared Freo and Essendon's points scored this season?

Yea, we're 1 point higher than you, and we're a bottom 4 team, again a Fremantle supporter telling me I'm right, you can't win a flag with that sort of scoring power.

You can when your percentage is 120+

Are you writing off Melbourne too?

Absolutley. All they will do is threepeat straight sets exits. You haven't noticed them being unable to both score and win a final the past 2 seasons? They can't figure out how to score they aren't going to win anything.

he is reminiscing about Draper making a knob of himself this week

Think they call it Essendon Edge..

 

[RonnieRaven]

Amazing how every week all your wins just look worse and worse. 4 goals down to the Lions who are garbage, 8 goals down to Norf who are non existent, losing to Port and Carlton who are questionable at best, and celebrating a win against the Dogs who are also hopeless.

Yet have a percentage 25 better then dons
Would be outright 5th without the gather round stitch up

yet Freo aren't expected to make the 8 this year - what are you on?!?

 

[cactuscall]

wrong thread.

 

[rgauci]

Scoring usually comes with maturity. We’ve got a very young trio of tall forwards (Amiss, Treacy, Jackson). We fielded the 2nd youngest team on the weekend.

The scoring will come with time. The gameplan Longmuir is dishing up caters to the team that’s taking the field.

I don’t think the current game plan takes us into a grand final, but the next iteration and adjustment should be just fine.

Need to add two opportunistic small / medium forwards in the next 2 years. Hopefully Cooper Simpson matures into one.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

The Treacy / Amiss combo is the 20 and 21 year old KPFs of Fremantle dreams. We've never had anything like it given Pav had to make it work with early Tabs or Zac freaking Clarke.

They'll be incredible when they hit 24 / 25 but we'll have to make do until then and everyone else bar Freddy is poo really. Adding just one quality small would be incredible for this group but the age and lack of talent is going to hold us back doing anything really meaningful in the interim unfortunately

I am not the one posting here every game Fremantle loses or when Fremantle posts a low score or both.

 

[Clive Kepler]

Getting there lads.

You are still evading my question, you claim to be happy with Freo scoring 70 points in a win, so are you saying I'm right and they need to score more since you always come in and tout them kicking an AFL grade score?

I'd take 70 points and a win over 90 points and a loss any day of the week. When you've conceded the second least points of all teams you can afford to score less. It's not really rocket science to understand, despite how flaccid it makes David King.

 

[Footy Smarts]

I still reckon they've got probably the best young list in the game. The back half of the 2020s could see a lot of purple.

bloody hope so.

I hope its a good finals run ad freo makes finals for 4 or 5 years in a row.

A flag will top it off as Well, in which I hope freo gets one between now and the end of this decade.

 

[raffrox]

So the number Freo needs to score has been set. Score at least 79 points and we are unbeaten under Longmuir (36-0) (stat courtesy of the Purple Reign boys).

So Amiss' development and Treacy clunking them and kicking straight should put some fear into the league.

It explains why cheap shots like this are needed against a skinny 80kg 20 year old.



Freo learning to score more (which will come) reminds me of this classic scene.

My immediate reaction to that stat is that I don't believe it. Insane.

That’s a bit of a radical stat if true

 

[Joao]

Just checked, it is true.

I think its only 76 too (last year vs Swans).

 

[Stemp Fester]

Amusing that the past weekend Freo and Ross Lyon's St Kilda were the equal highest scoring teams...

Well done to Freo and St Kilda for beating up the 17th and 18th placed sides.

I am however - sincerely - prepared to call Freo a contender if they do the job against the Swans this weekend.
