    Toast Reasons for Optimism

    What I didn’t realise when we traded for him was how quick McVee is and how his one wood is as a lock down defender. I think we were mis sold on his value to the team - but I think he helps solve the issue of who we play on small forwards.

    Toast Reasons for Optimism

    Our three tall forwards are 23, 22 and 22 - and they’ve just torn the back to back premiers a new a***hole. They’ve kicked 78 goals between them in half a season. Bearing in mind Gunston is 34 and Jezza 33 - we could have Josh, Jye and Vossy for the next TEN years before they start to drop off...

    Toast Welcome to Freo Murphy Reid - pick 17 of the 2024 Draft

    The beauty of Richmond overlooking him four times was that Reid's Dad then basically said 'f*** you' to the Tigers that evening and went all in on Murphy coming to Freo. It's so different to the Cerra situation where his parents seemed to be so upset about him heading west and I think we all...

    Toast Welcome to Freo Murphy Reid - pick 17 of the 2024 Draft

    Given there's a growing number of comments across various boards and in the media comparing Bruce to this player and that player, I thought I'd take a look at how his second year is measuring up to the second years of a bunch of current older players who I think we would all agree are top tier...

    Autopsy AFL 2026 Round 12 - Lions v Freo Sat May 29th 4:15pm AEST (Gabba)

    Round 10 in 2015. Freo are 9-0 and looking imperious. Fyfe is in a patch of form rarely seen on an AFL field. Friday night at home to the 5-4 Tigers in our first prime time game of the season. 20 minutes into Q1 the Tigers have kicked 8-0 and Freo just 1-1. We never get within five goals...

    Autopsy AFL 2026 Round 11 - Freo v Saints Fri May 22nd 8:30pm AEST/6:30pm (OS)

    The umpiring was absolute trash. Multiple poor decisions that benefited both sides so I wouldn’t say Saints were robbed. But, for once, it did feel like the overall balance was in our favour. Only a small bit, but the advantage goal to Dudley should never have been allowed. I’ll take it...

    Fremantle Under Longmuir

    What’s clear is that the players love him, so I couldn’t give a rats arse if he comes across as boring. I wavered following the Saints game at Marvel last year, but we’ve since won 22 of our last 26 games. Yes, we s**t the bed in the elimination final last year - but I’m now very much of the...

    Autopsy AFL 2026 Round 11 - Freo v Saints Fri May 22nd 8:30pm AEST/6:30pm (OS)

    Max Hall has to be in AA contention. Bloody good player.

    Injury 2026 Injury Thread

    It doesn’t. We’ve got a small injury list and plenty of cover. We’re also 9-1 and have wins in the bank. We were never going to finish 22-1. Everyone just needs to calm down - we’re not a one/two man team anymore. The Saints are literally missing two of their only three good players (Nas and...

    Injury 2026 Injury Thread

    We’ll get Young back for the Lions and North. Time for Ras and Johnno to show what they can do. Cox can get more time with Jackson attending a few centre bounces as a mid. We’ve got depth - it will be fine.

    Mega Thread 2026 Media & Miscellaneous Thread

    I personally have no issue with using AI to put the finishing touches to something - it’s not like you’re sitting an exam. As for your analysis I just wanted to say bravo and to add a couple of things which reinforce something I’ve been slowly realising over the last 18 months. First of all...

    Draft Review 2019 - Revisit the 2019 AFL Draft

    Comfortably the best draft in the last 15-20 years. Too many guns for a top 10 and plenty of good players not getting a sniff. Compare to 2017, where you’ve got Brayshaw, LDU, Naughton, Bailey, Richards, Sam Taylor, Miers, Dylan Moore for your top 10, but then debating Rayner, Tim Kelly, Will...

    Review Dees v Hawks and some unkillable Ghosts: the Good, the Bad and the Fugly

    Only saw the last quarter, but jeez your guys just seem to be having fun. Playing with the handbrake off and defying pretty much every pre-season prediction. Also every week you’re making our win against you look more impressive. Forget wildcard, I reckon you’ll finish 5th/6th if you keep...

    Autopsy AFL 2026 Round 10- Demons v Hawks Sat May 16th 4:15pm AEST (MCG)

    These damn nine day breaks - how are the players supposed to cope.

    Autopsy AFL 2026 Round 10- Demons v Hawks Sat May 16th 4:15pm AEST (MCG)

    King way out ahead for coach of the year. He’s done a remarkable job and the players look like they’re having so much fun. Shows what happens if you can create a great culture. Love to see it.
