Mega Thread Miscellaneous Freo Discussion thread

[WaywardSonSon]

This has nothing to do with the article. I once met Langdon's sister and her husband. They appeared to be nice people and really nice to chat with. Ended up helping them out one day for my work a number of years ago.

My colleges at the time asked them what they thought of Karl. And surprise, surprise they thought he was an total flog! Something about massive Ego and loves his own voice at gatherings.

When your own sister thinks you're a flog, it's unanimous! Lol

Regardless of who wrote that article it contains some sound observations, we are not going to fix Freo unless we address the points he has raised.

Mate if there's one constant that defines our board, above all others, it's that anyone in the media having a crack at us has a) a mental illness ranging from psychosis to personality disorder; b) a grudge; c) outlived their use-by date and is clueless about the modern game; or d) all of the above

Tbf, it's a decent point about rotation and trying to get the teams' confidence back but suggesting we throw Amiss straight in to AFL level on the back of a kidney laceration and ~3 months of missed football is hilarious.

The Amiss comment is beyond ludicrous

If that spud never played for wc he'd never have made it into the west aus media circus

, same height and and reads the play awesome. If he has the tank just trial him in there. Forwards won't be able to whinge about the delivery at least.

Also since Lobb is if to dogs at seasons end what motivation does he have to play well for the rest of the year? Jackson is a forwards arseh*le. Good tap ruckman because if his basketball background but that's it really. Clunks the odd one up forward but still no real threat. Zurharr not coming so that idea can go. Logue probably not gonna be at freo next year. Tabs will it get worse from here forward. At this point our only true forwards in Sturt, amiss and Treacy won't be getting another game this year based on Peel form and talk.
Some serious discussion needs to take place about our forward problem!

The photographer perfectly captured Schumacher doing his best Shuey impersonation and dropping his knees to get the high free!

Good job from the purple reign boys with today's podcast. Highlights how we are just in front of north Melbourne for goal kicking (equal 16th), highlights how pav and lesser extent modra only decent key forwards we've EVER had! I'm with them in Sturt. Just play him FFS!!!

wow. what an insightful analysis. must've been a lot of thought and time that went into reaching that conclusion. definitely not something a casual supporter could tell you at all.

 

[WaywardSonSon]

What a stark contrast in headlines!

"Dockers great to hang up the boots after 19 seasons."

...and...

"17 years and out: Eagles goalkicking champion hangs up the boots."

Talk about disrespectful!

has played over 370 games, and I would think has traveled more kilometres than over 95 percent of those that have ever played the game at a professional level. F*ck you AFL!

 

[Taylor]

Mundy has traveled almost the distance to the moon and back over his career. I don't think anyone is close.

 

[FreoRicci]

Kennedy retiring ASAP, his last game this week means West Coast will go all out this week. No emotional attachment for Derby next week.
Possible win v Adelaide too

Ok I have to admit I'm not seeing what we should be up in arms about?

"19 seasons" vs "17 years and out"
"to hang up the boots" vs "hangs up the boots"
"Dockers great" vs "Eagles goalkicking champion" - is it this?

Mundy is a Dockers great, don't see how that is any different to 'champion', I mean they could have referenced him as our games record holder but it's a headline - short and sharp.
Also, Kennedy is the Eagles goalkicking champion because he's kicked the most goals for them.

Shame Kennedy isn’t playing the Derby. Have a lot of respect for him, would’ve liked to have cheered him and Dave off.

Maybe he didn't want to rain on Dave's parade?

 

[Lach72]

possibly. But always a shame that champs like Josh are going. Wouldn’t mind him with us in a coaching role.
Dave can go learn under Clarke then come back

Hahaha, yes, you're right! I'm jumping at shadows because the AFL snubbed his games record.

Possibly.
Away derby though.

Have a chance v Adelaide for a win.
Derby then Geelong. No point trying to fly across for that.
