"What on earth has happened to freo"

Given the pies current form BC that might just be the funniest line for the year to date.

How have Freo gone from Premiership contenders to wooden spoon contenders?!
I get really reactive when Freo play badly, but I honestly think we were probably the flakiest "premiership contenders" of he last few years. Wouldn't go as far as to say we were flat track bullies but we were exposed by good teams. This year age has really caught us up and Ross has tried too hard to get the best out of the old guys by tinkering with our structure and we just aren't skilled enough for it to work. Our disposal efficiency is atrocious

Next year am picking some young bloke with a chiselled jaw who looks a bit like the guy from the old chesty bonds adverts. Run around near the ball, worth some points.

This is definitely the best Barlow has looked all year.
It's because I finally got rid of him! Not fussed as it's a year long decision. Always knew he'd score OK against us, and I'm banking on it being different against the top sides. Having said that, he is getting a lot of midfield time.

Easy, Ross Lyon, won't play any kids unless he has no other options.
Look what he did to St.Kilda if you don't believe me, they're only just recovering from Ross's lost generation.

I think Ross Lyon's negative approach is the main reason , for years at the saints he had to try and hold teams to low scores with negative tactics so they never got blown out of the water and he's gone that way at Freo for some reason , and only he can answer that one , but it is affecting the way they play
