Freo like to bury sides early but risk burning out and getting run over the top - like they did in the final against Port last year and nearly did tonight. If I was a coach I would go ultra defensive early against Freo and attempt to minimise the damage.

In the end they were lucky to win that. Beaten in every stat of the game apart from hit outs and free kicks.

That's one way to respond to an enormous bout of premature ejaculation....
Hawthorn were similarly spanked early by Port, you want to blow your load half way through the game re Port too?

We were pathetically uber piss poor....
I've been a member since day 1. That game ranked in our worst half dozen or so efforts in our clubs history. Entirely uncompetitive.
No amount of good quarters or halfs by Freo against other sides changes that....

Just did the ladder predictor, and I ended up with Freo on top after 23 rounds, with only 1 loss. The only probable losses are the away games to Hawthorn, Port and maybe Crows. Sydney, Hawthorn, Port and Crows below them. I had us in 10th spot with 11 wins. Might only be 1 win and percentage between us and 8th spot, but even then obviously we'd only be making up the numbers. Can't see us challenging the top 8 sides though after last week's 1st term. Can't see how we can improve enough during the season.

They'll send a B team to Adelaide when they play Port in the last round, assuming they can afford to lose.
They'll probably lose that game. I think they'll be 19-3 come seasons end, with minor premiership.
Let's not kid ourselves - and Im quite drunk right now - Freo are way ahead of us.
I am also quite drunk and I must say I'm quite ready for bed
EDIT - wtf I don't even remember this

Just shows how far ahead of the top 4 is at the moment. Port,Hawthorn,Fremantle and Sydney can just turn it on when they need to.
Still think Hawthorn are the best side though. They had Ben ******* McEvoy playing full back tonight and still almost won.

Quick question... if you're willing to skip country to escape Freo supporters, why do you spend so much time on their board?

Their supporters for the most part are fine on BF, but in the real world... not so good.
Can Freo keep this up all year though?! History shows that it's bloody hard, nigh on impossible, to play at this sort of level for 26 weeks straight. They'll drop a few along the way, it'll be the old "loss we had to have" cliche.
Be nice if one of those days comes in the next derby
End of the day, they'll go close to winning the flag, it'll make me sick to the stomach and I might have to flee the country for a few weeks to avoid the inevitable wank fest

Don't mind seeing them do well
Also puts our loss to them in perspective - they are playing decent footy
Seems to me there's a fair gap between hawks, port, swans and that other team then not much between the others with lions, blues and saints the stragglers. Maybe add the suns sans Ablwtt to that last group

Maybe Adelaide aren't top 4 contenders after all?
Like I said after Round 1 - Bulldogs aren't a poor side. They have some serious young talent. The way they played against us was top 8 material - whether or not they can keep it up all season (unlikely) is another question
It is making me feel more bullish about the year ... our 2 losses so far are to 2 red not teams. The bullies are tearing the crows apart.
Get Darling back and Hutch, things might be on the up.
The doggies are bloody good atm ... still do not know how long they can keep it up for, but bloody good to watch as they are now ... some exciting kids who are strong over the ball. We need more of that.Hmmm dogs smoking the crows. Maybe we r a top 4 side
