...this pitter patter nonsense 'don't usually wear Freo gear', while sporting a new fresh Freo jumper, decked out in scarves, even with a #flagmantle hashtag for a bit of extra mayo... was mind boggling. Honestly people have a bit of self-respect and don't glory hunt far out.

Not this year, it’s all about the ‘Purple Army’ and #flagmantle
They are even dropping nicknames for off-brand ‘Royal Crown Cola’ types like Rory Lobb and Will Brodie. 😉
The Eagles stories are mostly about injuries, how old the playing list is, how much they get paid and what Paul Haselby...

#flagmantle is real
...on their home turf that makes our team so much stronger, have learned from, and filled our team with all-important ‘belief’. Those losses were significant for our growth, IMO.
Also, my flag perspective rests on this weeks game. Beat Lions, and #flagmantle is absolutely on track, without any...
