Will become a boys club, that unfortunately has happened to a few FF programs over the journey.

Is there anyone left that’s hasn’t been given plum roles straight after retiring?
Would love to see Daniels get his own or apart of a footy show.
Dermott and co are such blah.

Freo getting a new away jumper next year? noticed on freo shop the away jumpers are on sale...

 

[Taylor]

I think the only away top that sells even remotely close to the number of home tops is the away Indigenous.

 

[freo_leo29]

Club always sells off the 2021 guernseys at this time of year

ISC were regularly $50 for every guernsey including trainers at this point


It's more interesting to me that the 2021 Home isn't on sale yet, really weird

One of the more irritating things about the Perth media is the overuse of the term “Docker Shocker” and “Heave Ho” in headlines.
But this one is totally nonsensical and it hurts my brain every time I see it.


heave-ho
/hiːvˈhəʊ/

noun
INFORMAL

1. dismissal or elimination from a job, institution, or contest.
   "conjecture over who'll get the heave-ho"

To be fair, it also means:

heave-ho
exclamation
old-fashioned

UK

/ˌhiːvˈhəʊ/ US

/ˌhiːvˈhoʊ/

a phrase that you say or shout when you are making a big effort to pull or lift something

Dockers official contract signing pen. Heave ho, that pen is heavy.

The NRL has usurped the AFL as Australia’s most popular sporting code — at least on Twitter.
Aussie fans of Korean boy band BTS made their voices heard, with #BTS also finishing on the podium.

I may have inadvertently contributed to the popularity of BTS, I thought it stood for Brayshaw Treacy Serong.

 

[Taylor]

The Rugby signing up for $2 billion worth of TV rights is big for the AFL deal coming up.

Maybe the first time but nothing explains the 20 visits that followed.

 

[Scham]

It seems the club has listened to us by getting rid of the all white for away games where there's no clash

 

[freo_leo29]

We suddenly have one of the worst kits in the league

Purple/White =


Why ruin the cleanest kit

 

[Taylor]

I prefer the purple. I don't think the white shorts looks good but I think the consistency we get from playing in the same colours (mostly) is far better.

 

[holybishop]

Yuck. I loved it when we ran out in the Grand Final wearing our white strip. It's as Fremantle as our purple one.

 

[freo_leo29]

White/White absolutely crushes Purple/White and it's not even close

Purple/Purple trumps everything obviously but wow, what a terrible decision and thats before even considering the AFL's terrible clash policy, can already foresee a clash coming from nowhere now when we were previously not able to clash with anyone

 

[freo_leo29]

Yuck. I loved it when we ran out in the Grand Final wearing our white strip. It's as Fremantle as our purple one.

I'll throw up if we run out in Purple/White in a GF, surely we wouldn't do that


Let's just finish top and run out Purple/Purple anyway

 

[Docker82]

Is it just me but it no one pointed it out I wouldn’t notice what colour shorts we’re wearing tbh. I only care about the shirt.

Lol, we're desperate for GF success and you're complaining about what we're wearing if we get there??? JL said no more accepting mediocrity - that goes for us fans too.

Purple/White is worse than mediocrity

Why should we accept it?

It's the off season. The joint would be even further in the ground if it wasn't for the small talk

 

[theGav56]

While all purple is clearly best, I don't mind the all white as an away jumper, and prefer it to purple top with white shorts. But care factor low.

 

[Cesoir]

Pulled up at a traffic light in Cairns yesterday and the car in front had personalised Qld plates FREO10. Way to go legend, nice to know we are not alone

 

[Minz]

So, I had a dream that I went to the GF this year with my Freo tragic mate and watched Fyfe kick a bag to lift the cup. It was a nice sunny day in Melbourne… and he was wearing the purple gurnsey with white shorts.
