Playing in right positions and roles has helped but just maybe just a coincidence
I think being in the team would be the biggest factor.

On a very cold night, all players wore sleeveless jumpers. Normally Plowman, SPS and Silvagni minimum would have sleeves. A review recommendation or coach directive???

I reckon it could simply be a lack of a white long sleeve jumper available

Freo has been playing well and they had all their good players in. The first quarter and a half we were on top, the next quarter and a half, they were on top and at three quarter time it was all equal. In the last quarter we just wanted it more. Winners win. There seems to be light at the end of the tunnel which isn't an on coming train.
Dow, Kennedy, SPS, Walsh and Stocker all did well. My one knock on Walsh has been that though he gets the ball a lot, and though he is pretty good user of the ball, I felt he hasn't really impacted on the games he is in or changed the direction of the game. I always believed he eventually would. Last night he created the opportunity, took the the opportunity and sealed the game. I believe we will see more of this.
I always worry when Newman, Plowman and Jones have the ball in defence as they will always stuff it up at least once and cost us a goal. Three of Freo's goal came directly form their stuff ups and they got one from a dodgy free kick. Considering they only four other goals for the night, and two of those were rippers, I thought our defence was pretty good.
We have changed our approach going into the forward line from the 'Kick it to Kernahan' (McKay) plan to actually separating out in the forward line and picking the best target. It seems to be working. Who would have thought.
I thought Silvagni was very good, DeKonning competed, Harry took his opportunities and Casboult stood up when counted. I also thought that with Cripps being unable to kick and therefore having to hand pass meant he was far more creative and brought more team mates into the game. It also meant that there were more players around him when he had the ball so he wasn't caught as much. I am also glad we have Saad.
A good win, we just need another six or seven for the year.
I though Big H was ordinary, even poor.
But if he can chip in with three and play like that, all good.
The Betts- Owies combo is going from strength to strength.
Other teams have learnt they need to show Owies respect, otherwise he will kick a few....
Not sure where Fisher fits in when's he's right? Maybe for Fogarty?

Yes, that's a good start!

Money though is a worry. Maybe he just wants to come home. And maybe we have higher priorities. And if you don't ask, you don't get
I wouldn't do that trade, unless SPS says he wants to go.....
And Cerra's $$$ are modest.

ps Eddie Betts averaging 1.7 goals a game.
Combine his GA - goal assists, he's up there with any small forward.
He plays on in 2022.

Was thinking the same thing. Has been pretty good and i wouldn't drop him coz we don't have anyone better yet.

Before last night's game I believed that our lapses in concentration were caused by so much effort being used for very poor results on the scoreboard and physical fatigue setting in.
But last night was different. For once we kicked accurately and Freo didn't. We still looked fresh going into the halftime break but when the third quarter started it looked as though the players had spent the break smoking weed. Our mid field disappeared and too many players became spectators. In the main it was our backline and Freo's bad kicking that had us in front at three quarter time.
What worries me when we have these lapses is that we do dumb things without being under pressure. The turnovers by foot quickly appear and lack of confidence just lowers our ability to put pressure back on the opposition.
Clearly mental attitude is a factor but I don't know how to improve it.
I'm so pleased with the win but...

Yes, I tend to agree. A win is a win, but the reality of where we're at IMO is that they will be scratchy wins for a little while, with lots of ticker shown by the boys and some luck. Freo had more scoring shots and more I50's, and the game should have been a lot closer than it was through the 3rd and into the 4th. I was pleased that we won both the tackle count (we almost always lose this), and also the disposals and uncontested possessions. Those three combined are usually the signs of high work rate and good team cohesion, so well done there.
