    Review Freo burn the dirty birds by 35 points in Derby LIX

    Yes, after almost 10 years with the Derby rivalry almost being on life support for one reason or another (with possibly only Michael Johnson and Luke Ryan lining up and flattening Andrew Gaff in 2018 after the Brayshaw incident being the sole reminder), last night's game really did wind the...

    Autopsy Draw

    It seems to be a cue for the crowd to make maximum noise to lift the boys, but is only ever used when either we need to get a goal to win in the last 3 minutes of a game, or perhaps defend against one. The phrase does date back to that famous pre-game speech of Pav's on a Friday night, and...

    Review Win’s a win: Freo in a grind over the Crows

    Well, that was quite the hot mess, but it never really did feel like the Crows were going to pile on the scoreboard pressure so we held on long enough to break it open at the end. I've seen plenty even worse in 30 years, believe me! Amiss did look exhausted for most of the game, which is the...

    Review Rd 15 Review - Freo Get Back on Track Over the Dons

    Yes, this has become very very obvious - particularly during these last two home games. For someone who has such a beautiful set of bucket hands, Cox's sudden determination to turn into Zac Dawson is a bit of a puzzler. I guess if nothing else he is double punching to ensure the ball goes over...

    Review Something Something HOW ****ING GOOOD - Week 1 Finals Review

    What a strange evening it was, with a mix of a bit of everything from finals past. The first 1.5 quarters were like an even worse version of the 2013 GF, what with being unable to translate forward entries into a score and a general sloppiness in our play from being overawed by the occasion...

    Review Freo Get Up by 34 Thanks to Being Paid to Take Will Brodie

    You know, it's still so difficult to get a solid gauge on where the team sits at the moment. After falling back down the time tunnel to 2016 a couple of weeks ago, the last two games have been pleasing; but have I really seen anything to suggest this is a team that can mix it with the other...

    Mega Thread The Media Thread

    Just one of a number of reasons why I will always have a lot of love and respect in my heart for CC, in spite of what will probably go down as a time when we clearly underachieved. The man went above and beyond to use literally every media outlet available to promote Freo in his time here...

    Autopsy FREEEEOOOO!!!! (win by 4 to get back in the 8) - Rd 20

    I guess it was meant to be that Freo's tribute to 1995 epitomised everything about the club over the journey, because there was more than a little nostalgia on show. 'Twas a cold, cloudy winters day when you could feel the wind rattle through the half-empty stands but the noise and passion of...

    Opinion The Anchor

    The anchor should never, ever, ever have been ditched off our jumper. It was us, it made the Dockers instantly recognisable and firmly located us as a port club with a blue collar identity. I fully believe that getting rid of it was part of a concerted effort by the Steves to reinvent us as...

    Kevin Parker's absolutely nailed it!

    I think it works perfectly well where it was placed last night - as a pump up to start the second half of games. Perhaps it could be used to replace We Will Rock You at the beginning, but I quite like the couple of minutes of ambience. TNT has become entrenched as our post-victory song at...

    Autopsy 11 Losses in a row - Booooooo - Rd 7 2021

    OK, I'll deal with positives only. It was actually a really entertaining shootout up to the point of Lobb's goal early in the third. We completely imploded after that point, which proves that with such a young team that particular style isn't within our capacity as yet, but I suppose it does...

    Autopsy Freo Down Hawks by 15 points.

    Look, if nothing else, I'm happy that Hawthorn no longer seem to be our kryptonite, the one team we could never beat as was the case for well over a decade. Like us, they're a very different team now to what they were when both of us occupied the top tier of the ladder, but sometimes it's just...

    Autopsy Rd 2 2021 Review: Freo vs. GWS

    Most points have been adequately covered, so I shall just add the following: Those knocking Tabs today probably didn't see him doing approximately 11 billion back and leg stretches while lying on the ground, at almost all points during the game. He is clearly playing under a significant amount...

    Autopsy Rd 1 2021 Review: Freo vs. Melbourne

    It did seem somewhat of a "back down the time tunnel to the future" game today - many things we have seen too many times over the last five years, but seem no closer to ever solving. Melbourne weren't exactly great, but I guess the score not being a complete blowout is something of a credit...

    Mega Thread The Media Thread

    I know it might seem that way IP, given we had diabolical FNF form before that match - but we did win a few games played on Friday nights prior to that. I'm thinking specifically of Tony Modra's 10 goals at the MCG against the Dees, not to mention the last game we won under Gerard Neesham by 1...
