[Roofrom50]

Freo need more goal kickers, ya can't rely on Pav every week, Tarrant needs to stand up and kick 4-5 goals a game if u are any chance of winning.

 

[punterpupnroy]

Lol thats what i thought. I shuffle around a few goal sneaks in there but apparently murphy hasnt been performing in the reserves. So i dont have any realy forward power besides pav, taz usually kicks behinds, and i pav has a bad kicking day i probably would get crushed. I reckon i need more crumbers i remember watching that game but i always lost the crumbs. anyway i wont be able to update till next weekend at least.
