Game Day Round 1 2025 Fremantle ⚓️ v Geelong 🐈

[FreoRicci]

Wagner should be dropped too.
How is he safe and Aish ain’t preferred.

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

That’s a ****ing disgrace lads

 

[MadMundy]

I know you can only play who's in front of you, and we have injuries, but when you get as close as did to let them blow the lead out like that again is inexcusable.

They kicked a couple and we just said "Yeah nah we're not bothered anymore"

 

[BringBackTheAnchor]

what did i do to deserve listing to that dickhead kingy post match.

 

[freo_leo29]

reminds me of the dogs game last year, where we got spanked

 

[s_wd6]

Takes a special team to turn a 20 point deficit into a 80 point loss in 30 minutes

 

[hoss]

I've been a Longmuir supporter but he has to take some responsibility for this. First game and we weren't up to the intensity. Time and time this side just hasn't been ready. Two years of terrible starts to games.

JL comes out with some stern words of advice and inspiration at 3/4 time after we’ve reduced the margin to 20 points. Result = 9 goal to 1 quarter lol.

You just knew it when watching the vision so predictable.

 

[BringBackTheAnchor]

Reminiscent of 2022 or was it 2023 when we couldn't win the clearances by getting bullied then our defence was leaking goals out of their @ss

sure it wasn’t anytime between 1995 and now?

 

[rgauci]

We’ve let through 10 goals in a quarter. That’s the level of immediate coach sacking. Who was the Melbourne coach that got sacked immediately after getting trounced in Geelong?

At least Bontempelli played a blinder that day. This has just been a smashing outside the last 10 mins of the 3rd.

 

[swanny1234]

What did the coach say at 3QT? Absolute masterclass. 21 points down and in the game… sack the clown

 

[hoss]

The statistics over the years shows a strong correlation of umpire selections and bias towards VFL teams (and/or game results preferable to AFL agendas). It is more than just home town bias.

Most evidence I've ever seen was a crazy free kick differential favouring a non-Vic team. (It wasn't us.)

Let’s hear the normal rhetoric from Mr Vanilla

 

[mcnuggets rule]

Lots of issues, but one that is becoming glaringly obvious - Heath Chapman can defend unless he's on a small. I used to think he was a really good defender, but the last 10 games have exposed him horribly. What happened? What else does he bring, kicking is unreliable!

 

[s_wd6]

I genuinely can't remember a worse quarter of football. These mfs bragging all season about how fit they are and how they can out run anyone and let a team drop 10 to 1 on them. What a ****ing disgrace.

I’d have preferred the parallel universe where Reid kicks four and we won

 

[thistimeforsure]

**** that Garlick campaigner off too

Aspirational corpo dribble is not the message for this club

It’s we’re sorry for what we’ve put you all through and we will work harder than anyone to give you a club with some pride

I'm starting to think these players are lying when they say they're hungry to be a part of our first flag, if they were, they wouldn't give up so easily as soon as things get tough.

 

[freo1]

Premiership favourites.

Yeah baby

 

[NYRB]

Freos defence has been well known to be their strangehold in past 3 seasons

But my observation of Freo defence today

* Alex Pearce isn't playing 100%. He looks incredibly slow and Geelong actually looked to go to him in 1 on 1 at every opportunity today.

* Luke Ryan as someone mentioned on here, he looks overweight, unfit and for me hesitant with ball.

* Cox- looked more threatening forward than defence today.

* Walker- was average, not the worst

I also question some of the guys fitness on guys like: Switkowski, Sharp in running out that game.

Beating Sydney next week is no shoe-in.

 

[Madas]

I would bet $1,000,000 that we won’t see those HTB calls for the rest of the round ( possibly season )

The AFL agenda is to keep the media and broadcasters happy.
West Coast over the decades fall into that group of non-VFL teams that have had the benefit of bias media and umpiring ... which is also supported by the statistics.

Nor the 'play on not 15.'
