Ironic, isn't it, beaten by the Suns in the rain?
But the can't play wet weather footy thing is just a furphy. I don't know which game you were watching, but Freo got lots of it and kicked it forward, a lot. Lots more than Gold Coast, in fact, and easily enough to be winning that game comfortably in the wet.
It's just that kicking it forward to Gold Coast players, or 10 metres short of the target - how many times?!!! - or high to Frederic and Shultz looking for a contested mark, or in general not to your teammates' advantage killed us. Yeah, that'll kill you in the wet. It'll kill you not in the wet as well.
However, what I can't stand most is in 50:50 contests, especially on the ground, Gold coast wanted it more. This sucks and to a supporter of a team formerly second on the ladder, is not acceptable behaviour.
