Forget Jones's 2 goals... he was HOPELESS. So completely and utterly clueless about how to play as a tall forward. No idea how to lead, position or use his body. If those 2 goals keep him in the team I'll spew.
Dylan Buckley looks cooked. Certainly not a small forward at this point in time.
Rowe is okay when it is simple but when he gets turned around this get real jittery real quick.
Murphy, Gibbs, Cripps and Kreuzer need to find form. Disposal count might have looked ok but they are MILES off.
We won because they were bloody horrible. One of the great mysteries is how the implosion of freo has happened so quickly but they are done.
Ross Lyon has never had to play young players or build a list himself before. Doesn't look like he's much good at it.
Actually, regarding Jones, they were the very things he did so well in the VFL last well. Led and used his body very well. Much different in the seniors admittedly but when the delivery is so poor it doesn't give one alot of hope. What it did do was allow Casboult to play up the ground, take a number of marks and get 16 touches, 6 more than Kreuzer and Phillips put together, and be some sort of influence. Good argument for Casboult being 2nd ruck.
We had a win, we won't get many and we know our shortcomings. I suggest you actually enjoy it when it happens.
