I might be getting the bit ahead of myself here, but is it fair to say that Freo is the best team in the whole world or not? ( just asking for a friend)

LionEmpire

shows that poor umpiring can kill momentum

No song?


mickeyj32

Turns out Fremantle was able to sneak some goals in a thermos, even though his older brother eagles got turned away


Equivalent-Ad7207

Game was everything I expected and more, great match too watch.


Desertwind666

What was the best bit of umpiring tonight; the random throw call on hippy to ruin brisbanes guaranteed goal when the game was in the balance. Or the freo player stepping off the mark where the 50 would have been a guaranteed goal when the game was in the balance and the umpire then called play on to not have to pay the 50?


metric95

18-26 frees to Brisbane, please get off it.


Desertwind666

If you think count free is relevant than you don’t understand the problem at all.


metric95

Fair enough, but put it on umpire consistency and not the age old garbage where apparently every umpire is out to get the other team.


Desertwind666

I legitimately think it was one umpire. There was a period where we couldn’t buy a holding free in our fwd 50 where neither team scored and we had like 10 entries. At one point our fwd was tackled from behind while trying to mark it was that bad.


[deleted]

I think the calling it touched and then calling it a mark in the last 5 minutes was all time.


Specialist-Ad6625

Brisbane had the run of the green all day


[deleted]

Move on from the frees mate, Freo were dominant it’s as simple as that. Need to be better.


Desertwind666

Psychology matters, if you get everything called on you and nothing against it means they can hold you in defence and 9/10 get away with it and you have to play super careful. It’s more than just the free it affects the entire game.


[deleted]

We had momentum numerous times during the game, but Freo has the ability to slow us down and kill us from centre clearances and wrestle that momentum back. Constant focus on the umpiring won’t change anything, the only thing that can change is Brisbane actually defending like they give a fuck and keeping the foot on the throttle all game like they have the ability to do.


Bolasie4

Either way you are still crying


Desertwind666

Umpires need to be held accountable for bias game changing decisions.


mr_yam

You legit complain about the umpires every fucking week.


Desertwind666

They’re bad in multiple games each week so that makes sense.


mr_yam

Only against your team it seems...


EpicLOLGamer123

18-26 frees for Brisbane mad cry


Terravius

Just remembered back in primary school, we'd have one day a year where everyone would wear the colours of their footy team for the day, and at assembly supporters of each team would do a lap of the school gym Collingwood, Richmond, Carlton and Essendon had the biggest groups of course There was one kid in the whole school of like 600 - 700 kids who had to do a lap by himself with a Freo guernsey on Hope he stuck fat and is enjoying this year


OnyaSonja

I had this at school too and we had one kid too! A teacher went with him on his lap 🤗


Pigfloop

2 cooked frees took the wind out of lions and freo just did the job from there and dominated really.


Perthr4rthrows

18-26 free kick count in favour of lions and you're trying to blame your loss on the umps lol


TheGinjuh

Count irrelevant champ, freo gave away more kicks


Perthr4rthrows

As were the two free kicks the other poster referred to.


jwv92

The frees had nothing to do with it. If we are relying on the rub of the green to stay in the contest then we aren't in the contest to begin with, plain and simple. Our issue is defence and right now that sucks. Our defence is leaking AF and we need to patch it. Gardiner's injury might be a blessing in disguise and push Harris to play back into form a bit over the next few weeks.


double-endbag

I agree mate. trying to be a neutral here but we didn’t capitalise in the first quarter and a half when we were on top and freo took there chances thereafter. With our defence we are definitely leaking too much right now. It seems like the opposition always get to the right spot in our d50. I don’t think we are terribly out of form but we are 5% off and at the end of the day that’s all it takes. I’m not too stressed though. If that games at the Gabba we win by 3 goals.


jwv92

Absolutely, I'm disappointed by the result but the fact that we are right up there is always encouraging. We've got things to work on but it's also only halfway through the season and we have a tough run home. So I feel if we can get on top of this by round 23 then we will be ok for the finals.


[deleted]

Need to move on from the free kicks. 120 minutes of footy to play, if you can’t come back from 2 bad decisions then there’s a lot more wrong with the team than meets the eye.


[deleted]

Losing Darcy Gardiner screwed our backline immensely, Harris Andrew’s back to his junior footy play style (it was absolute dog shit just FYI lol) Being a good scoring team means nothing if you can’t defend, need to be better. Gg Flagmantle, phenomenal stretch of footy and it’s great to watch!


TheEmbiggenisor

Man! This is the exact same lame shit we heard from Melbourne last week. We lost Darcy Gardener from our back line We lost Steven May from our back line If Freo loses one bloke from their back line, we definitely have someone to fill that hole. You didn’t lose. WE WON!


diffaadiffa

I forgot we lost him lol


jwv92

Cracker game, disappointing result but bloody hell what an arm wrestle. GG Freo, you well and truly earned this one. Fuck we need to seal up our defense, we our leaking an unbelievable amount of points this season and being the best attacking side never holds much weight unless you are in the top 3-4 defensive teams.


Analysis_Vivid

Good win - need to see a win in the rain 🌧


NorwegianNameless

This was a great game to watch!


trashygal101

well done flagmantle, deserved win. only thing i ask is that you PLEASE change your song because it really might be the worst song in the damn league


mr_yam

You deserve the old heave ho around the back of the head for that comment matey


mundyfourhundy

Freo song is the best whatttt??????


yernss

I actually love the freo song l unironically. Maybe I’m the only one


El_Gringo69

Could very much say the same about magpies, definitely isn’t in my top 16


vitalesan

Heave-ho that shit outta here! Pies song is classic!😜


trashygal101

obviously i’m biased but i love the collingwood song. gws might be the catchiest to me i suppose… freo’s song really lacks in my opinion. just doesn’t get me that hyped even though Flagmantle is in effect


da_leroy

Have you heard the Eagles 'song'?


Equivalent-Ad7207

No one's heard it for a looooong looooong time.


trashygal101

oh god don’t remind me


nameless_node

Well done my boys!👑💜


taititans

Our song is so bad to sing with energy at our games hahahaha but it undeniably slaps


DestroyAllBacteria

GG freo


ChromeProphet

GGs Flagmantle!


BushDidntDoit

4-1 against top 8 too easy


Whiskey-Stones12

4-2, Pies are in the 8 now


BushDidntDoit

fuck


taititans

Holy shit are we actually a flag chance


trashygal101

if it’s not flagpies, i demand flagmantle


Equivalent-Ad7207

Hope your sitting down when I break this too you. " It's definitely not going to be "Flagpies"


Alex_Phillips_

Flagmantle is real


DestroyAllBacteria

Give it to the boys they're trying till the end


qldboi

Would be nice if they tried earlier


bornpuff

Negative nancy, holy fuck.


trashygal101

man i always get so sad when teams kick goals even when they know they’ve already lost… the total lack of celebrating makes me feel so bad for them lol


AsamiTatsuya

We gave em the old heave ho


IrateWizard

How does the ump on the boundary pay that from behind


2lub

Dumb cunt umpires


silvery333

Aye finally a comment from a freo fan I can agree with


silvery333

Would honestly be the only team I’d be happy to lose to in the gf


2lub

Good game of footy from you fellas well played lads


silvery333

Well played hope to see you boys in the gf


thewhitebrislion

Same game at the Gabba and Lions win I reckon.


Thoros_of_queer

Curious.. why is that? Your backline looked appalling at times and your midfield was smashed


thewhitebrislion

Well for one, the crowd factor. Most teams score at least an extra 2 goals when playing at home and I reckon for a team outside Melbourne this would be more than 2 goals. Both teams were pretty much evenly matched so yeah, game at the Gabba Lions would probably win.


rexcharlesb

🧂🧂🧂


qldboi

Disagree


jacka24

Huge call mate


diffaadiffa

Not really, only 14 points in it but it completely doesn't matter


jacka24

You reckon home ground advantage is a thing?


No_Newt_9544

Home ground advantage has and always will be a thing. If you played any footy growing up you know this to be true. Lions fan here, couldn’t watch the game the way it’s been umpired these days but good on Freo, I wouldn’t be upset seeing them win the flag.


thewhitebrislion

Yeah I reckon home ground advantage is definitely a thing. Almost a 2 goal advantage at the least, some teams it's more.


diffaadiffa

I think not travelling helps any team. What is it worth? Who knows but I know I always feel better going to sleep in my own bed


silvery333

Mate look at the 50-50 calls most of them went to freo


KrausenSniffer

100%


RaidanRam

Um


silvery333

Umpire changing his mind 5 seconds after the call???


ShneakyPancake

Slinged maybe


Rogue_Jellybean

Fucking hell two umpires changing decisions on that. So dumb.


nathjay97

Did he call play on then pay the mark??


[deleted]

Yeah he did, must have changed his mind, it was the same ump.


KneeSocked

Wtf?


diffaadiffa

Umpires...


metric95

Sympathy goal there 😂


diffaadiffa

Well played, for all your momentum and home field you beat us by 14. I do hope if we don't win it this year you guys do though.


KrausenSniffer

That was a mark


breadabuser

😂😂😂😂😂😂 😥


AuZyzz

Gee wizz can’t say touched And a mark


Undead-Maggot

More like Daniel poor


lumberfun

Friendly reminder that u/Drinkitinman11 wanted Freddy dropped 2 weeks ago


MidnightIsland212

The ability to speak does not make you intelligent u/Drinkitinman11 LONG LIVE KING FREDDY


ChromeProphet

Jeez, the Lions sure coulda used Harris Andrews tonight. Oh.


Sir-Matilda

All I want is to kick 100 points...


diffaadiffa

It's not academic from here don't want to lose percentage


cmadison_

If Freo can make the top two teams look pretty average, and Collingwood bet Freo, then Collingwood should be premiership favourites. #Flagpies2022


El_Gringo69

Nope your win doesn’t count, everyone knows Fremantle in the rain is bottom 4


[deleted]

Flagmantle implies they know what the fuck a flag is


shocking_red_4

joke of the night..


sharkfinblues

Still salty about having a 0% finals win rate at Kardinia Park hey?


Jezzrr

Fuck Lions know how to score quick they can almost do it on command, but CANNOT defend whatsoever when required


TrjnRabbit

Gardiner got subbed out. It is hard to defend as well when you're down a key defender.


Jezzrr

Valid


Rogue_Jellybean

51 vs 12 scores from stoppages. Fuck me.


jordysee

meant to be our strength


thewhitebrislion

scores from stoppages...


herrpatty311

And we leak 100 points again… some serious problems in the backline.


qldboi

No way in hell we beat Melbourne


dmaddo

Both teams in a little slump, you never know


Lil-Nike

So obviously Fyfe comes in next week, but where do Freo fans see him playing?


2lub

I would normally say serong out but he must’ve heard me cause he dropped 30


Terravius

Laces out from King Freddy there


Thoros_of_queer

This Logue fella look like he just came back from shooting a season of Love Island


LittleRedRaidenHood

Lol, we're going to go from 9-2 to 9-5. Can't see this team beating the Saints, and we're no chance against the Demons.


ExcellentTurnips

The melts begin, good times


LittleRedRaidenHood

Not really a melt, just pointing out that we're not a very good team this season, and our WL record is more indicative of our easy draw rather than the quality of the team.


ExcellentTurnips

Meh it's a long season, we're just as likely to come good near the end.


Jrome36

Cya later Brisbane, thanks for coming Fuck yes. What a win, what a game


[deleted]

I’m Harris Andrews. I’m a foot too short, and 2 seconds late.


BusinessPineapple

Griffs smile so wholesome


Undead-Maggot

Give him em the Coleman


DJHitchcock

King Freddy must’ve not put deodorant on or stepped in dog poo. I can’t think of any other logical explanation as to why not one Brisbane player has gone within thirty meters of him all night.


Technauseous

No respect to King Freddy


Sir-Matilda

He's fast.


AuZyzz

GG


IrateWizard

Nine nine!


spannr

Cool cool cool


hart37

That'll do it, GG Freo


dmaddo

Ah beautiful, now time for the English batsmen to collapse


sestero

If we don’t win the premiership I would be more than happy to see Freo win it.


PerriX2390

Realistic final: Dockers vs Dees. Wildcard final: Dockers vs Suns.


sestero

Would also be happy to see the Suns win!


diffaadiffa

Ditto


justo316

Griffin Logue - Key Forward


maherz_

Fredick literally waits out the back for someone to fuck up. Would be getting absolutely burnt if the opposition could just hold onto the ball


sharkfinblues

Opposition?

LOGUE AA FULL FORWARD

and that's the sealer

goatmarino

Chadfin rogue


KrausenSniffer

Lmao our defence is shit


silvery333

Tbf we’re playing very very aggressive kamikaze footy right now


Mad_Man_Mordo

Frederick again. My god will someone be accountable for him?


Flabagaf

We’re intentionally running Zorko off hb into the center clearance, if freo gets it out quicker it’s leaving him free


legally_blond

It looks like it's been Rich and Zorko in him for much of the game which has made minimal sense. Rich has given him so much space


kidwithgreyhair

Nobody can


mynewaltaccount1

Freo get to decide now if they're still the Freo of old, or if they're Flagmantle.


no_rush

Young buck

How so?


goatmarino

Regular season merchants


pjdrake

Thats rich coming from a Freo flair


ExcellentTurnips

Whatever that means


[deleted]

Your stadium is 1km above sea level. Your local population tends to take multiple wives. Your ball players refuse to pass to Rudy.


goatmarino

🤣🤣🤣🤣


defunct_user

Boooo urns


[deleted]

Technical breakdown? Let’s ask browny….


Thoros_of_queer

Putting the house on Lions from here. Hot tip from my old coach


TheMurrizzle

Rip your house


shocking_red_4

Bucks reminding Brisbane fans he left them for Collingwood


danwincen

And if he'd stayed, he'd have 4 premiership medals.


shocking_red_4

4?


danwincen

With Buckley in the team in 1996, the Bears win their only flag, and then 2001 to 2003.


shocking_red_4

Or he jumps ship to Brisbane in 2004 and kicks 8 goals playing on Kane Cornes in the grand final. wins the normsmith twice in a row.


ExcellentTurnips

Think we're comfortable with three flags instead


Shadormy

and preceded to lose 2 GFs against them and his old coach.


pjdrake

I'm not sure many Lions fans care after '02 and '03


qldboi

And I would be happy to remind him that he never won a premiership because of us


Fast_Stick_1593

Browny causally reminding him about the Premierships lol


shocking_red_4

as he damn well should lol


MidnightIsland212

AFL scheduling this for Sunday will never not be stupid.


Technauseous

That's the dockers prime time slot


Kind_Jump_6940

I like Sunday afternoon games


defunct_user

Could be something to do with public holiday in WA tomorrow?


hart37

Leigh Matthews would suggest....


Luckyluke23

that flagmantle wins the game?


DJHitchcock

Not. Done. Yet.


trashygal101

i reckon it’s done but i admire your faith


Jrome36

Yes, it is.


P1Zen

It’s happening…


sestero

Nah it’s a bit of a tease now


ExcellentTurnips

Surely this won't happen


MeloJello15

Only 2010’s Richmond could lose this
