Interesting solid post

 

[ep2018]

14-8, finish 5th, out vs West Coast (4th) in semi final derby. I dreamed it.

Nah. I see freo finishing between 7th to 12th. Likely 10th or 11th.

I see your mob west coast getting 5th to 8th in 2022.

 

[Schauermann]

Carlton and WC will be crucial games. We play them both twice and all three will be competing for similar spots...

And the Saints...and GWS.

The eight games against Carlton, Eagles, Saints and Giants will have a significant bearing on our finals chances. Must win five out of the eight games as a minimum - but win six or seven then I reckon we play finals because our record at Optus will mean we pick up 4-6 other wins at home - and then just need to snag 1-2 other games away.

 

[CarnTheScray]

I hope they make the 8

Already getting anxiety attacks over that Essendon/Carlton two week combo. Two teams that have had our number recently who we should have been able to beat.

 

[Tim Evans Beard]

A light injury list to key players would see them go very well. However the injury history of best 22 players Fyfe and Walters together with the Fremantle Strength and Conditioning teams inability to prevent or mange soft tissue injuries would probably see the season defined by missing personal stifling success and development.

Again.

 

[La Dispute]

I think Adelaide will beat them in Round 1, they also haven’t beaten Carlton in Perth since 2018 have lost the last 4 matches against the Blues.

Brisbane and Sydney at Paterson’s are also 50/50 games but I suspect the Lions and Swans will get the chocolates.

Looks like a tough draw to my eyes and could see the Dockers finishing surprisingly low eg 14th.

 

[The 747]

Should play finals but are Freo so won't.

A very positive and encouraging response I expected from you lol

Freo are on the right track I just don’t think you have a favourable draw.

Still also question marks on Longmuir’s ability to add some attacking layers to Freo’s game.

Can see the game in Perth against the Giants being another tough fixture.

 

[Guardian Hawk]

Fremantle looked very good against Hawthorn in Round 17 this year.

The result was noteworthy for a number of reasons:

(a) It was the first time Fremantle had beaten Hawthorn by more than 10 goals (or even more than 5). Their previous record margin against us was just 30 points (same scoring shots) back in 2010. To belt us to the tune of 62 points with a rampant Sean Darcy

highlighted the shift.
(b) It was also the first time in 20 years (and only the 3rd ever) that Fremantle had beaten Hawthorn away from Perth. (The last time being the infamous comeback when Freo were winless (Hawthorn made the Prelim) and Hawthorn rested all their players after being 40 points up and lost). Winning so well in the hardest away trip (Perth teams in Tassie) also shows how far things have come (for both sides but especially Freo)
(c) After Hawthorn have dominated them, winning 12 of 13 encounters, Fremantle have beaten us 3 times in a row for the first time in their history. Unlike the other 2 two wins (where Freo let us back in to nearly snatch it both times) they put in a 4 quarter effort and we never really had a sniff.

It's only one game (and I find the above interesting) but these signs could point to a tougher mental resolve that may see improvement over the coming season(s).

 

[g_TRAIN]

Might still be another year away. Depends on how much development we see from their young guys next year.

Also they need to stop kicking points.

 

[lewdogs]

They need to start beating good sides.

 

[King_Steele]

Bit like us not enough a grade class

 

[Arr0w]

Really good young list that should look to start transitioning their older players, as they won't be around when they are a legitimate contender. All all of the contending sides to make the 8 from missing out last year have important 50/50 games against each other, injuries will also play a major role.

Dockers will be there abouts

You forgot to mention that in 2021, tjats the 1st time freo beat the hawks in tassie. And that was freos 2nd ever win in tassie. The other freo win in tassie was round 5 in 2006 where they beat the saints by a point.

Saying that, Freo had a few narrow defeats in Tassie when Chris Connolly was freos coach from 2002 until 2007

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Nah. I see freo finishing between 7th to 12th. Likely 10th or 11th.

I see your mob west coast getting 5th to 8th in 2022.

Wow, I have West Coast out of the 8 and on 7 wins.

 

[Scotland]

Middle 6 side. A bit light on depth and experience, so the injury gods will play a big part.

Fyfe 15, Walters 16, Taberner 16, Lobb 13, Pearce 10, Hamling 1 game(s) played last season. Young core is good, but not good enough yet to carry the team to finals with those players missing a third of games or more. With a better run could win 12-14 games which would probably secure a 5-8 spot.

8, 8, 9, 9*, 10 wins over 5 years is pretty consistently just off the pace. Would be surprised if they suddenly fell in a hole and won 5 games or did a Brisbane and won 16 out of nowhere.

*7/17 = 9/22

That game said more about Hawthorn and what was unfolding off-field regarding Clarko’s exit than Freo.

 

[aussierulesrules]

A lot of it will depend on how they recover from us putting them over our knee and spanking their bare bottom in R23, when they were still a live chance to play finals.

They may have been irrevocably Sharmaned.

No shame in that though of course.

 

[Fat Tony!]

Freo will do what they always do. Be in the hunt for a finals place but finish 10th-15th and then win the trade period.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Looks like they actually copped a few beatings late in the year. All at home or at neutral venues, too

R23- 58 points v St Kilda (Tassie)
R21- 64 points v Brisbane (Perth)
R19- 40 points v Sydney (Carrara)
R18- 69 points v Geelong (Perth)

Plus they almost lost in R20 to Richmond, in Perth (4 points), by which time Richmond’s wheels had well and truly fallen off.

Seems they were actually nowhere near a finals quality side, late in the year at least.
