Gutted after today's loss
one of the worst and most disappointing games I've seen Freo play..losing our footing, having tackles broken, poor disposal and bad kicking for goal...looks like the curse continues with not backing up our efforts after a Derby win...I was gutted

we play the Crows at AAMI then the cats at home, so we'll be put through the acid test which will make or break our season. Lose the next 2 and we're 1-5

again...too much reliance on 2-3 players...our best were probably the usual Pav and Belly. Our second tier players really need to stand up and be consistent...bitterly disappointed with the way guys like Peake, Crowley, Dodd, etc played. And Sandilands...well we've got a giant ruckman who has the potential to be the best in the country but its no good having someone who taps it to our disadvantage.

ex-Freo boys haunted us again...Polak and Symmonds who both won their match ups today.

I'd imagine Harvey will drop a few after today's performance. Hopefully, those coming in with play with a lot more passion than what was shown today...I love the Dockers but living in Melbourne, performances like today definitely aren't winning the respect of the footy community over here.

its time to wheel the axe. lot of players have had to many chances, they are pretenders not contenders.

Ben I feel your pain - I couldn't beleive it - I was so sure we were going to win big - it was hot in Perth Richmond should have wilted but they just kept getting stronger.

It looked to me like about 14 of them didn't want to play - like "oh it's too hard or it's too hot" I say to those players get over it - it's your job and you were playing in front of family - THE DOCKERS FAMILY - and we deserve some respect. Toughen up or go.

Also I'm getting a little sick of the exuces - I think they should have a system where your graded on your stats - definately keeping in mind that effective stats are the only stats you should look at - and then pay the players on a slide scale from there - I'm pretty sure you'd see some improvement.

like we said at the game, this is 95 game play, the umpiring didnt help any, but that was absolutely pathetic, theres a fair few who need to go back into the wafl for a couple of weeks, and let some of the younger boys play, or even the skilled ones. moving pav to the back line and putting sandi in the full forward was stupid, pav is doin better in midfield but he's a forward, way too slow and refuses to tackle, so why the hell is he in defence?

whatever harvey is tryin, its sure as hell not working. .

Wow, I get the feeling it's ground hog day again. Different coaches the same result. We need a coach who will crack some heads & give people a wake up call. That seem's like it is not happening again. Chris Mayne & Ryhs Palmer, what a find. Established player's need to take a leaf out of those young guy's book's. Grow some balls Freo!!! I'm still riding the Freo band wagon till the day I die!!!
