Gerard, used to call all our games, and would never give us much

Nah Healy’s always been pretty good regarding freo.
In fact talked us up plenty of times over the years
Knows his stuff
Is still one of my preferred football commentators.

That's what happens when Gary Lyon and Browny actually watch one of our games live - Was the first time they have called one of our games at optus I believe.

Roo's has called plenty of games, but he never gives us much and Gerard, used to call all our games, and would never give us much

They probably tipped us for bottom 4 finishes.

This.

Just watched the episode, couldn't believe how long they talked about Freo and how it turned into an absolute fap fest.

Definitley a bit of one upmanship going on.

"Freo should be top 4"
"Is Michael Walters the best player in the game?"
"Freo are the best team in WA"

Was good to see something positive for a change. Also put to bed the rebuild stuff, loved the graphic about how we have the largest turnover of a list since 2016. Only 12 left.

No way, Gerard loves both WA teams. He gives us plenty of praise when we deserve it.

Talking Footy are carrying on as if WA doesnt exist... Darcy in his element
All energy on the high flying Bulldogs
And next Watson in his element on the high flying Bombers
ES BS

Mmm I don't think so-absolutely lovefest for the weagles -for years,but really over critical /unbalanced view of freo and lyon

Woops went a bit early, getting a god run now

Geez you guys weren't joking about OTC. That's the longest I've ever heard a footy show spend talking about Freo.

 

[Confucius]

Is it ok for Des Hedland to call caucasian men 'whitefellas'?

Is it ok to for a caucasian man to call men with aboriginal heritage 'blackfellas'?

Yes, and yes.

Both terms are in common usage and neither terms are typically deemed offensive to anyone.

 

[Joao]

Really? No ****ing way I would have used blackfella to the aboriginal guys I went to school with.

It helps when half the clubs don't play....

 

[Van_Dyke]

Well that’s a sentence I didn’t expect to read tonight. Reckon even some of the most optimistic of us would think that’s a stretch

follow up from this, did a ladder predictor and the way I got us involved in the top 4 was by only dropping 1 or 2 games. If that happens we're going to need a bigger boat

No way, Gerard loves both WA teams. He gives us plenty of praise when we deserve it.

This, Healy's normally pretty good to both WA sides.

Gerard Whately absolutely loves SonSon. Fair dinkum if SonSon knocked on the door at his house and said he wanted the last TimTam Gerard would say no worries and get him a Mint Slice as well!

Uuuummmm, what?

given that the club has had some close wins and close losses... isn't the WIN / LOSS ratio about right?

He is from the Hackdorn Hardie school of I hate Ross no matter what! Really 3 seasons of hell? More like 1 season of hell followed by 2 seasons of considered rebuilding. What a clown.

Just reads like an article by someone who has lived a lifetime of irrelevancy, and struggling to come to terms with that.

 

[Midnite65]

Funny how these supposed experts like Hardie and Hackdorn never bring up the insightful analysis such as seen "On the Couch" tonight such as the most players turned over in the comp in the last 3 years, the best 4th quarter team, etc....they seem to do very little research into the actual game itself apart from try to create rumours and carry agendas.

 

[Fyfster]

You don't get to decide that for everyone. Can you demonstrate that it has never been used against me as a racial slur, let alone every white man?

Very simple i was bought up in Kalgoorlie , And when The local Aboriginals spoke about their own people and the local non Aboriginals, They always referred to the the term Black fella and white Fella, Not racist but descriptive.

Dang it now I want a mint slice

Lol, as soon as I typed it I thought "could go a Mint Slice right now"

Channel 7 is broadcasting Nic Nat's come back live, where they had to negotiate to bring the game forward, and delaying the telecast for our game against Melbourne...

Not unexpected but thats an absolute piss take.

It’s all about the next derby. If we want a crack at top 4 we have to take the Weages spot, since we’re a game behind but with better percentage.

An anecdote of your isolated personal experience is not sufficient.

I didn't grow up in Kalgoorlie and my experience very different from yours.

 

[estibador]

I grew up in the Kimberley and blackfella/whitefella were used commonly by all the locals in good nature.

Us country people are more chilled about stuff, that's why we're the superior breed.

 

[Paracleet]

Well that’s a sentence I didn’t expect to read tonight. Reckon even some of the most optimistic of us would think that’s a stretch

It's not that unlikely given the compressed nature of the ladder from 4th to 11th and our good percentage. 5 to 10 still favourite though.
