i can't repeat what i said during the course of my lounge room supporting viewers otherwise my blog would most likely be removed. OMFG ( oh my frigging footballs) thanks freo for choosing our game to make a stand, nothing like two wins in a row to give yourselves a bit of confidence. still it won't make a huge difference to your season other than now stopping you from sinking to the bottom. the freo players stood up, particularly the experienced players when it counted. when you are close you are in with a chance, you get a sniff of the winning breeze and back yourselves in to win when you have nothing to lose. not the worst game of the season but seriously what more motivation do you need guys when your season is on the line? i was really impressed with your effort the past few weeks even though losing hurts big time, but yesterday there was no desperation. yesterday too few stood up when it mattered. yesterday it was wingard's 100th game and he should have been honoured with a win. yesterday this loss means our season is hanging by a tenuous thread. but in all honesty i am not that optimistic that we will even make it. i actually don't expect us too not because i am being negative but more so because i am being a realist. (although my fantasy would be for nothing less than a miraculous recovery to pinch a finals berth) regardless of my zealous passion my commitment to the season has been to attempt to stay in the present and forget about what ifs. my thinking has been to take it one game at a time and so should the team. not only that but they should be playing each game as it counts because guess what? it does. and so when the tail end of the season arrives and we are eclipsed from the eight (should that be the case, more likely than not) then the responsibility lays at the players feet or should i say their boots. would rather no finals berth than being smashed. all we ask is for effort, fullstop. so sink or swim guys it is up to you...
i have to say viewers i always find the freo/port games a tad stressful. why may you ask? well because son number two is an avid freo supporter who ditched his port guernsey in favour of the freo one. yes i know, how could that be so? well it is and i have to say he was finding this season rather stressful himself which is not surprising considering their 10-0 start. but a win for your team is a win and brings joy to the fans. lyons by the looks of it has done the right thing finally by injecting the side with youth who are full of enthusiasm because all they want to do is play and that folks is where you start. as far as port goes yes we are missing players but we are not the only side. teams like the hawks find ways to win just when you think they are done and dusted. narrow losses and games that should have been won ( think carlton) are what will come back to haunt us. and then it will be be if,if,if. if only we didn't have injuries...if only we could play like 2014...if only. well it is time to flush if only down the drain because it actually doesn't count for anything!!! we are not 2014, get over it and move on. there is enough talent in the side but that doesn't count for much if it doesn't gel and play as a team. look at all the teams that have already improved this season. not much has changed a lot in terms of personnel, yes perhaps a few new names so what does that tell us?
perhaps mental toughness and attitude is what gets you over the line in the end. time to toughen up guys and time for fans to take their rose coloured glasses off. time to finish off the season to the best of your ability, one game at a time until the very last round, then we shall see who is in it to win it. impressive win by cats, hawks are building again at the right time. north i think might fall by the wayside. dogs and gws could be pipped at the post by lack of enough finals experience, although the dogs have some high quality players returning to bolster their stocks. west coast are over rated and i am doubtful without nic natanui they will cause much damage. crows are the dark horse bolting towards the finals with a relatively winnable run home, although i would like nothing better for them to falter, hee,hee, sorry crows buddies but you know how i feel. which brings me to my next point. for some of you it must be nice sitting on top of the mountain with a pleasant view. cheap shots, go for your life but if you tumble and fall i won't be lending a helping hand to help you up. i will serve you a piece of humble pie, no make that i will shove it down your throat, lol.
PS thanks to my brother in law for tipping cats for me as moi forgot to put in her tips. at his stage i am one off the lead. i should have listened to son number two and picked freo but of course we weren't expecting that were we?
until the next game,
love FFFandF XXX
