Whether we’re in a form slump or not can be debated. One thing that hasn’t altered is the form slump we induce into our opponents for their next game.


So far this season teams who have played Freo have a 3/8 win/loss record in their next game (sorry Pies you’re going to get smacked by Hawthorn this week). The three wins have been against the teams currently in 16th, 17th and 18th positions on the ladder and include narrow wins by Geelong v GC (at home) and Adelaide v Carlton. The outlier result is West Coast d Brisbane by 53 pts – but it could be argued that we didn’t put the Eagles under much pressure in the WD. They didn’t touch the ball in the 1st qtr and we shut down completely after ½ time.


Some of the bad or surprising losses which have occurred after a Freo game: Port belted at home by Sydney; Sydney lost at home v Western B’s; Western B’s thrashed by Melbourne; North blew a 39 pt ½ time lead v Collingwood ; and even Richmond looked terrible at home v West Coast.


On the flip side, teams who have played Hawthorn or Sydney have a remarkably good record at their next outing.


Team played / Oppositions next game win-loss / Pts for – pts against / Percentage / Average current position on the ladder of those next opponents.


Freo / 3-8 / 869-1009 / 86.1% / 10.4th

Hawthorn / 9-2 / 1082-849 / 127.4% / 10.2th

Sydney / 7-4 / 1051-849 / 123.8% / 10.6th

West Coast / 6-6 / 1009-1102 / 91.6% / 8.8th.


And based on 2015 cumulative form we have had by far the toughest draw of the leading contenders to date.

Team / Oppositions cumulative win-loss records / Oppositions winning percentage / Oppositions points for-points against / Oppositions season percentage.


Freo / 73-71 / 50.7% / 12442-12164 / 102.3%.

Hawthorn / 64-80 / 44.4% / 11907-12791 / 93.1%

Sydney / 69-75 / 47.9% / 12216-12588 / 97.0%

West Coast / 63-81 / 43.8% / 11831-13084 / 90.4%.


So in summary, teams who play Freo suffer badly in their following game, teams who play Hawthorn and Sydney do remarkably well in their following game and teams who play West Coast perform at about the same level as their overall season performances at their next game.

We may not beat 'em by much, but boy do we hurt 'em.

Amazing...So we shouldn't use our opposition as a gauge based on their next game . Hmmm haha


As it currently stands, Freo and Bulldogs have played 6 out of the possible 7 current Top 8 teams! Freo only losing once and dogs losing twice to a current top 8 team.

West Coke, hawks and Collingwood have only played 3 out of the possible 7 current Top 8 teams! Collingwood losing all 3 games, West Coast winning 1/3 and Hawks winning 2/3 games against a current top 8 team.

For the rest of the year, Freo are not in the clear. We still have 3 top 8 teams to come (Hawks, Richmond, West Coke). Also North and Port could all replace Dogs in the 8 and we have to play them again too. Nothings easy but a good indication on where sides are at and perhaps why

So you're saying we roll them and we rock them?

We can win this week - must not get blown away in the first 10 minutes, must not get involved in a shoot-out and must bring our defensive A game.

Eleven shalt thou not count, excepting that thou then proceed to twelve. Ten is right out. Once the number twelve, being the twelfth number, be reached, then direct thy foe to peruse the scoreboard, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.”*

Freo have now won their last 44 games when scoring 12 goals or more.
