Put a line through Freo?

[DardySingh360]

Well?

 

[Dylan8]

Yep, just like you'd put a line through Sydney after they lost to GWS.

 

[Zerg]

nope.

 

[dinger]

Unless today is some day in September, no.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Have Fremantle's wheels fallen off ?!?

 

[JakeandFatman]

Freo are gone. Didn't think they could win the flag before this game and certainly don't now.

 

[Rusty Brookes]

No.

 

[SuperSub17]

Insightful OP.

 

[Modified Dog]

Where is Freo at?

 

[ep2018]

Dont think so

 

[Xtreme]

They will not go past the preliminary final this year

 

[I am Jack]

Freo aren't much chop.

 

[Kcrack]

Have we overrated Freo?

 

[HappyChappy35]

Some easy games coming up will see them consolidate their grip on a top 4 spot, but don't fancy their chances of beating Sydney or Hawthorn this September, especially away from home. Slick ball movement is their achilles heel, and I don't see them being able to counter it on wider, more spacious grounds.

Confident we'll knock them off in a few weeks too.

 

[Blacky]

Wish the answer was yes, but it isn't

 

[The_Big_Ship]

lol, no. This week is the time to back them for the flag, always a good odds boost after a shock loss.

 

[Crawb]

Well if they finish 5th certainly.
The difference between 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th is magnified for a team like Fremantle too, but they're not dead yet.

Sydney, Hawthorn, Fremantle, Geelong, Port Adelaide have all gone through some very rough patches during the year. Anything could happen in September really. Putting together 22 H&A games is one thing, putting together a month of finals football is another.

 

[Blacky]

That said it's been hard to gauge them as they havent played a decent team for 2 months because of their soft draw

 

[grimlock]

This loss will actually help them in the long run. Ross won't let them rest on their laurels now. Their draw is still easy enough to finish Top 2 and once they lock in a home PF you might as well lock in the GF

 

[RobbieGray17]

Have Fremantle's wheels fallen off ?!?

Lol, I just saw that thread

 

[Sprout]

Not entirely.

But you can put your house on a Sydney v Hawthorn GF, with Sydney to win by about 4 goals.

Not to put a fine point on it.

 

[LB#16]

It's a wake up call and a kick in the pants. Will be good for them in the long run I suggest.

Hmm actually having a look at the live ladder, the % drop from today could be costly. Hawthorn will probably pip them to 2nd on percentage.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Yep, too many passangers.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Won't make the 8
