Did Mitch Georgiades relegate Youngy to a Raider Of The Lost Mark? Time to Restump Podcast yesterday’s win that wasn’t for the faint hearted.
It was a nostalgic day yesterday as Freo wound back the clock. Late in the game fan’s were calling for the defibrillators to get their purple hearts going again, but it was all part of the emotive four-point banking fun.
40 points up at one stage, did we take the foot off the pedal or did fatigue set in? There are many ways to asses it but the reality is, we ended up in front when the siren sounded, we banked the four points and kept our top four chances alive.
If there is any disappointment with the win, send your mind back to the start of the season and revisit your expectations. Come back to now and you’ll find we’ve exceeded them greatly.
Fyfe is finding his feet as his confidence and desire levels rise and despite staying out of the middle, he’s going to be a that old weapon after a few more games wherever he plays.
There are no superlatives left to describe Andy Brayshaw. Quite simply we don’t win that game without him.
James Aish took his Mr Fix It role to the electrical field, constantly cutting off the Power. We are forever wondering how the hell Geelong let Jordan Clark escape and we're willing to concede that if Rory can guarantee us that intent every week, then re-sign him up.
Alex Pearce had done a superb job on the dangerous Charlie Dixon to three quarter time but Charlie went into the middle and literally turned the game in a matter of 60 seconds. He rucked roved and kicked two of his own and had a hand in a third. Sean Darcy and Rory Lobb had no answer to him.
Special thanks to Robbie Gray and Todd Marshall who inexplicably both missed goals in that last quarter, sodas that you would have taken out a second mortgage on your house and put it on them being kicked.
We got the points, we’ve got 11 wins and we need four more to clinch a top four finish. It doesn’t matter how we get them! However, bigger picture, we’re exceeding any expectations, we’re going to play finals and anything above that in the way of double chances, home finals and top fours, is the cream on the 2022 season cake.
So, if you’re looking for some straight and narrow, never as good never as bad as it seems perspective with regular tangents of preposterousness, click play and join the prattle in the purple pool.
