Wags looks to be an out, thankfully we have two players to choose from in NOD and Johnson. Johnson to come in, IMO.
Switta, Geez I hope that's just a knock. We cannot lose him, irreplaceable player.
One shot fired and missed by a mile, one left.
Out: Banfield, clearly not up to finals intensity. A massive liability and deliberately targeted by oppo.
Out: NOD, invisible and poor form since returning from injury.
In: Young, Johnson. No choice but to run the gauntlet now. No use saving...
Out: McDonald, Erasmus, Dudley
In: Pearce, Wagner, Simpson
Hoping Simpson plays well tomorrow and can play as the sub.
Dudley was so good in the first quarter and faded so badly. Just isn't fit enough. Would make a good sub but don't think starting him is a good idea.
Thought the absence of...
A huge 10 day break for this one. Back to a Sunday afternoon. First day home game for a while.
Clearly a lot of the depth well below standard.
Out: Draper, Aish, Sharp
In: Pearce, Switta, Darcy.
Fyfe back to sub.
Hoping Switta is only the two week injury, huge out tonight.
The most dockery shit ever is they come out and win next week.
Pathetic. JL on his last legs.
Anyway.
Out: Young (sigh), Draper
In: Erasmus, Simpson
Too tall in defence. Would be great to have NOD and Walker available.
Jackson an automatic in for OMac as good as OMac was tonight.
That's probably it to be honest. Johnson such an almost player. Hope it clicks for him. Had a tonne of the ball which is the positive, just needs to use it better!
Short turn around again and some more injuries.
Out: JOM (droppable performance despite getting injured), Aish, Banfield, Worner
In: Erasmus, Wagner, Narkle, Chapman
We really need a miracle with Jackson, has left a huge hole.
Surprised this isn't up yet.
No changes unless Voss is suspended. If he is, well I don't know. We're likely replacing the tall output from within the squad and playing smaller around the ground as we really don't have another quality tall available. Miracle with Jackson perhaps?
One option is...
Our fifth 30+ game in a row, not great. Thankfully this is the final one. Hoping the young tigers roll over in the heat as Freo could do with a couple of percentage boosters.
No new injuries!
Subject to availability?
In b4 out JL...
Anyhow, unlikely to have anyone ready to come back but who knows.
This squad desperately needs Hayden Young back.
A couple of weeks still for the cavalry to arrive.
Round 2 2025: Fremantle Dockers Vs. Sydney Swans
Venue: Optus Stadium, Perth
Time: 3.10pm WST
Both clubs enter this match up desperate for a win, with the loser facing an uphill battle for the remainder of the season. The Cats have shown a blueprint that works against the Dockers – frontal...
It’s Derby day! What a wonderful day for it too, perfect conditions for a fast game. Really want to see Freo break them in the first quarter and go on to stack on percentage that puts us top 2.
Payback time.
Match day folks! If this game were anywhere but Tassie at 11.45am Perth time, it would likely be a Freo win. The fixture gives the Hawks the opportunity to get themselves back in the hunt for 8. A win for Freo consolidates top 4.
Both teams are only two players short of their best possible line...
No game day thread up yet, so here's one.
Pretty crappy day tbh, cold and windy, but will still be there. Hit them hard early and break any spirit they come into the game with. With some luck we may get a dry first quarter or half before the front comes through. Could be heavy rain at some point.
How is there no game day thread yet?
Expecting a big response from the team today. Keen to see how the rejigged team goes with Walters out but an extra runner available.
Good luck to Davies on his debut.
The stage could not have been set better for this Gather Round clash at Adelaide, with both Fremantle and Carlton entering the game undefeated. You wouldn't know it if you paid any attention to the AFL media however, with Carlton being backed to hilt by the Vic centric media, while Fremantle...
There's discussion happening in the JLO thread about strategy and game plan - I was surprised this didn't have its own thread as I think it deserves one. The whole AFL world is currently in a copy Collingwood mode, but you can't beat an opponent at their own game, it's usually a failing...
Welcome to the 2023 season of the Australian Football League, the long and tedious pre-season is finally over, however, St Kilda and Fremantle fans have the longest to wait for some much needed catharsis.

1:40 PM WST at Marvel Stadium
Fremantle currently strong favourites with the...
Round 3 2022 – West Coast vs. Fremantle Dockers
The first derby of 2022 has arrived and the stakes could not be more different for the respective teams. There is freedom from expectation for West Coast with COVID and injury smashing them early this season. The Dockers on the other hand are in...
