wow, on top of the games in Tasmania? That is a lot of travel.
Haha neither did I...I didnt even know such a trophy existed
Pressure is on the Dockers now. Its their premiership to lose.Well done to Fremantle on securing their first peice of silverware. If they don't win the flag this year, it will be a huge let-down.
Congratulates Freo, gets called a troll. Tough world.

Congratulates Freo, gets called a troll. Tough world.
pretty much but theyre obsessed with the idea that i'm out to pull their club down, like my posts have some mythical power to deride their premiership aspirations.... rather than seeing it for what it is
I wear glass. Not blind yet. I only follow foot ball year 1. No one has trophy for me. Wish team luck in finalYou not see trophy? You be blind? That sad. Great first post BTW.
Wow, quality St. Kilda melt.Because you are obsessed. You are constantly hanging around any Freo thread and take pot shots more often than not. You have even stated that you hate Freo.
"theres no other side i hate more. they actually make me feel good about the doggies. freo are an absolute abomination of a club and make GWS look like theyve got over 50 years of history and character. there is literally, not one nice thing i can say about the fremantle dockers. actually there would be one nice thing i could say about them, but that would only occur when the club folds and is finally put out of their misery
freo should never have been born, they're the product of what i can only guess was a month long meth binge at AFL HQ that resulted in the decisions makers suffering drug psychosis. i mean it would explain why today we drug test AFL administrators... its the only thing that can explain the idea of merging two arch rivals with near on 100 years of bitter rivalry in east freo and south freo. it would be like trying to merge collingwood and carlton.
you'd think they'd sober up after that decision and actually start to make some half credible choices to smooth over the failure but nope. they then decide to name the club after a Victorian term for wharfies (for those unfamiliar, fremantle is a harbour city with blue colar work force manning the large shipping port there)... this was around the time the intelligent side of the WA football community questioned WTF they were doing with the next WA side, but not the rabbid dockers to be. they ate it up in spades... they were talking dynasties and flags make east fremantles achievements look small...
they salivated over making carmen lawrence their number 1 ticket holder. appointed gerald "i still think i'm coaching claremont" nesham as coach and then proceeded to blow all of their draft concessions and picks only the better half of claremont FC and a bunch of washed up WA born players (i think this is where scott watters squats during their qtr time huddle and urinates on the pitch).
to ease them into the AFL, their first practice match was against Claremont FC, thats right the club they stole all their best players from. dockers fans were talking up a big win to get them started... but in typical dockers failure that didnt happen and they lost by a massive margin to what was the claremont reserves...
in recent times their board has undergone what can only be described as humanitarian work that probably should have earned them a noble prize of some sort if they had progressed further with their wide ranging changes that involved changing their pathetic club song and colours. basically chucking what they had in the bin and starting again...but like anyone trying to do good and clean up the rabble for what can only be described as an intellectually challenged supporter base, they were confronted with member and supporter backlash. the song change was voted against for a mildly reworked song and a jumper that is criticised for looking too much like carltons (side note: who would want to look like carlton, thats what we are dealing with here).... but then again theyve always been obsessed with the other AFL teams since they realised how ******* bad they were. initially it was hawthorn, then it was essendon (remember the term mini windy hill), then it was carlton, then it was st kilda. which on us, i can understand a club stealing a recent grand final coach (i still re-call the rally at freo HQ protesting the sacking of mark "someones bugging my office" harvey) and ditto the need for a fullback...but who in the world steals a clubs runner... thats right they stole that old bastard who looked like death and constantly gave away free kicks for us.... anyways i progress, now theyre back to being obsessed with hawthorn. theyve gone full circle....
and the worst part. you used to be able to avoid them. out of sight out of mind. not anymore. now all matches are televised live and are now accessible anywhere on a mobile device. you literally cannot avoid their pathetic existence....
and this is why i hope we thrash the life out of them... if not that, i hope they lose a flag to WCE. the troll factor in that would be off the charts. i'll save you some popcorn and a seat in the CBD of perth when that happens..."
To be fair, most of that was actually pretty funny.......and I'm a mad keen Freo supporter.Because you are obsessed. You are constantly hanging around any Freo thread and take pot shots more often than not. You have even stated that you hate Freo.

partly, but also that the 400k's down to Launceston (or 800? to Sydney) isn't quite the same as trips from Perth.The point many are trying to make is that teams traveling by choice is different to teams traveling to play an away fixture in another state/region
If Freo lobbied succesfully to play a couple home games a year in Albany or Geraldton, I would not call that travel as it would have been our choice to go there, rather than being scheduled to play there due to the fixture
Not discounting the fatigue, travel times etc. - as of course they are still relevant for home games at another venue, but to use those factors as reasons for having down weeks, players being rested, or the team not being as fresh for the following week isn't relevant, as the team could avoid those issues if they didn't choose to play their home game their in the first place
And this isn't a dig at the Hawks or anything like that - the same is relevant for North in Hobart, Melbourne in Darwin etc.) Basically if you choose to move your home game interstate or to a regional venue, don't be surprised if other opposition fans dismiss claims about travel.
Just zoom and enhance. Should be easy, see it done on TV all the time.whats on the plates down the bottom?
