Houli has some howlers but apart from a few Squibbs doesn't leave anything in the tank. Same with Petterd.
Miles a star, good time to bring him in. He'd have burnt out if he was rookied at the start of the season. Morris needs a spell to get his shoulder right and learn to play smarter football. Cotch, Martin, Foley, Vlas all solid.
Hampson and Chaplin are terrible. Can't wait for Astbury to come back in.
We need some better forward coaching, so many missed set shots over the past month, with the exception of the gws game.

Anthony Miles had 30 possesions and 10 clearances.
Our kicking for goal early in matches is killing us. It has to be a mental thing. We kick like crap until the game is gone and then when the pressure is off we learn how to slot them.

And Hampson..grimes...Morris...
Went as expected.... we were beaten by a better team. Our effort was good most of the day.... the same cannot be said for our skills. JR set the scene with some poor kicking at goal early and it caught on as it does in teams lacking confidence.
One more tough week to get through with the possible premiers next week under lights on a Friday and then we'll start piling up soft end of season wins.
Outs: Hampson (out of the club), Ellis (get some touch back in the 2's - might be the kick in the bum he needs), A. Edwards (presents well but no help moving forward into next season), give Titch a go in the ressies (needs to put in a consistent 4 qtr performance)
Ins: Jackson (if fit), Conca (if fit), Griff (need a more mobile 2nd ruck/forward), Lloyd.
Not ins: Please not Thomas but I can see it happening, please not Grigg but I can see it happening
If it becomes Grigg in for Ellis, then I'd prefer Ellis to stay in....

Chaplin?? Had nearly his best game for the year today IMO
Well done Anthony Miles...standout for us today....this young player showed the other, more senior players/ leaders how it's done
Proud of Miles...

I just don't get the Newman bashing, should be still captain.

Of course you are right Doc, just not interested in looking for minor victories - just seeking a W.
Chaplin, Foley, Newman and Petterd - best games for the year
Not many of our players played bad, Freo just have more experience and made the most of there chances.
If Jack kicked straight early & Hampson didn't play... We probably win.
In; Griffiths / McBean
Out; Hampson

9 kicks, 5 contested possessions and 1 tackle is not good enough from the vice captain and one of our so called "guns" ...

I don't want Hampson dropped, I wan't him banished.
Put this in the game day thread, but reckon it's worth repeating....
Last Year - 5 scores above 100 points conceded in 23 games
This - 6 times above 100 in 13 games.
Easy then to say that our defence has been poor, which is true to some extent (Chaplin, Houli and Morris have been nowhere near last years form), but it's also our midfield, which exerts minimal pressure and just searches for easy kicks. Add in our truly appalling goal kicking and you can see why we have slumped so much....

Agree...I'd say Lids was poor today

He hasn't even been eligible for the seniors for the last 2 months according to that ****ing buffoon we have coaching.

Of course, me too, but considering how bad we've been playing, getting our form back to how it was should be a priority.
I expect the club gambled over preseason and lost. They expected the game to turn into a stoppage game so we built our players up to deal with stoppages but it turned into a running game instead, our players just aren't built for it right now but are slowly getting it back into them. We'll probably play a lot better towards the end of the year as we finally get back to playing how we should be.
And 2 goals 1, playing with injury. It's a better return than some of his previous games against Freo, all I'm saying.
Personally, I don't like Petterd playing in the middle, don't mind if he is in the team but I think Richmond overrate what he brings to the side.. don't mind him playing the defensive forward..

He is either physically or mentally injured or totally playing out of position.
Used to be able to bank on 25+ possessions a week from Lids...
We showed glimpses of last year's form throughout periods of the match. We gave ourselves the chance to knock Fremantle off but the turnovers we made is what killed us. Our goal kicking was also terrible and we failed to convert most of our chances.
Anthony Miles was great again and should of been in the team from round 1. Nathan Foley is also getting better each week and has something to offer for a few more years yet.
Changes
Out: A. Edwards, Hampson, Lennon, Morris (Injured)
In: O'Hanlon, Jackson, Conca, Thomas
Against Sydney we are going to need plenty of players capable of winning contested ball. A. Edwards didn't have an impact on the scoreboard today and is not going to help us in the future. O'Hanlon comes in for him as a lead up forward and he also had a solid game in the VFL where he kicked 2 goals. Surely Hardwick will let Morris go out for surgery now.

Devoid of:
* skill
* leadership
* gameplan
* footy nous
* talent
*confidence
Make no mistake we are in deep trouble. This is akin to the Wallace and Frawley eras. So many below average plodders (most recruited from other clubs) that are never displaced from the starting 22.
Hardwick has a worse record too.
This will continue until wholesale changes are made.
Everyone at the club should be under the microscope. Everyone.
