Thats a cop out, they have as many if not more out than us. We are just not up to it and will end up losing by 60-70.
As I predicted on another thread we are not on the same level as the top 4-5 sides, only a middle of the table side at best

Absolute massacre at 3/4 time like nearly all the games this weekend. Reckon the AFL would be concerned by the ammount of blow outs each week and the rapidly falling crowds.
Freo are just simply too good and last weeks loss to the Hawks just showed how far ahead of the rest of the comp Hawthorn are. Freo will still finish top 4

A round of blowouts alright......Total winning margin for the Round 4 games was 557 points.

An average winning margin of 10 goals per game

They don't have the depth of the Hawks, few teams do. But they are a different side without Fyfe in particular. Better check your calendar my friend.

It aint rocket surgery. It's harder to cover for blokes that go down just before a game or during a game than it is when you know they are out. Essendon are a good side and sanctions aside will go top six.

I think Bomber flirted with form which is dangerous IMO.
Its only round 4 shouldnt be resting guys already, need to pick your best side against sides like Freo. Not having a genuine ruckman hurt aswell

I think they need to reduce the number of teams.

The new ticketing system and the crap scheduling are the major factors affecting crowds this season.

It's not flirting with form, it's list management. The days of Chappy and Fletcher playing 22 matches a season are long gone. That isn't why you lost the game. You hit the nail on the head with the ruck situation and losing Goddard early was a massive blow on top of losing Myers before the match. Freo is a tough gig away and not much went right for the Bombers.

You'll bounce back.

One of those days, Freo showed that you can turn it around within a week.
Bomber mentioned in his presser that 5 or 6 had bad stomach bugs and that Myers was too crook to play but the others suited up. A 34 degree day is not ideal if you have gastro id imagine. Saints up next week with Fletch, Chappy, Myers and Ryder back and Bellchambers coming back in the two's so all is not lost but even at full strength we are still a fair bit behind Hawthorn, Geelong, Freo and probably Port IMO
