The weekends game was our best performance for the year and was certainly the most potent team we put out there all year aswell. Ryan Crowley was outstanding as was Marc Webb in his last game for the club with 37 possessions. We moved the team around abit to try some things and everything seemed to work, particularly with Rumble to full forward and Keevers on a wing.Chad Cossom had a great match 30 and 3 goals while Phil Read and Blake Broadhurst also got 4 goals each. Overall it was a terrific way to send Webby off and a good effort to finish what’s been a frustrating year for everyone.We now have time to assess the list and consider what we need to look for with regard to recruiting and our development to ensure we get back in for another successful run in finals.
Thanks to all our loyal members for sticking by the team all year, I’m sure you would have seen some great new talent emerge inparticular Buddy Pickett, Scott Worthington and Reece Blechynden to name a few. We look forward to a big pre season and once again thanks for your ongoing support.
Unfortunately the loss on the weekend has made it almost impossible to play finals this year which is disappointing. We still have a big game for the club this weekend which we will treat with importance as we would like to finish on a good note after what’s been a very trying year for all at the club. Blake Broadhurst again performed very well up forward but again was the only mainstay for us infront of goal which is the big area for concern and the main area for recruiting off season. Marc Webb, Des Headland, Shaun Hildebrandt and Kyal Horsley all put in the midfield while Michael Rix worked hard all day in the ruck. Ben Randall again stood tall in defence while Adam Cockie was quite good in his first game back for over two months. We were woeful infront of goals and paid the price,we had more of the ball, more inside 50’s and more shots on goal but the scoreboard wasn’t in our favour which is where it ultimately counts in the end. What we can take out of it is the fact that the player group know where we are at and expect better from themselves after a promising start and will always have a good crack right to the end. That is important moving forward into the last game and beyond looking to next year. We would like to see all our supporters at Fremantle oval to help get the boys over the line this week in what will probably be our last game for the season.
