It's pretty bad viewing, and should be highlighted, but in the interest of balance they maybe should have mentioned the 2nd half effort, which was better. Yes, it was too little too late, but telling only half the story is pretty poor reporting, unfortunately now par for the course.
And Brown is dumb as dogsh1t, and an overrated leader.
I think that they were highlighting our lack of effort and resistance while Freo piled on 12 goals to zero, which was when the game was won and lost.
Legitimate reporting in my view.

Yep I agree, we deserve every bit of crap that gets thrown at us after that first half

Doesn't help the story and let's face it even die hard supporters would have drawn little comfort from the second half given what was dished up earlier. RIgth now we are a good side bar for the media as they can refer to our plight any time they need some filler. We need to shut up and put up some decent performances in order for this to change.

Because it's pretty much irrelevant, the first half was the story of the game.

Looking at kerridge he looks like he's maintaining presence in the corridor and forcing players wide in an effort to protect a zone (albeit poorly which might be why he wasn't playing seniors earlier).
Even when he stops in the back half, he does so in a space no one else is occupying and is blocking a leading channel (but not all that "switched on").
Rowe's effort needs no examining. He was pushed out of a contest and had no hope catching anyone. For each of these efforts there's another you can point to that says otherwise and the effort to chase down billy Gowers comes to mind against the doggies.

Kerridge looks like he's out for a Sunday morning jog to me, if what he's doing in that clip is following the coach's instructions we need a new coach.

As a mate of mine said, time for BB to stop acting like a school teacher and start acting like a coach. Rowe, Kerridge and anyone else that is in similar damning footage, must be dropped this week.
