    Premiership players that debuted for Fremantle

    Bell, Abraham, Brown - are there any others? Assuming we don't win a flag this cycle (I know, just assume for one minute) would any of the following have a chance of joining that elite club in the next few years - Broughton, Palmer, Michie, Roberton?

    Game Day Len Hall Game, North vs Freo, 1845 at Subi

    Looks like a perfect night for footy if the rain stays away Great to be playing again on ANZAC Day Both teams coming off poor losses, will be looking to improve tonight. There has been lots of niggle between Freo and North posters on BF over the last couple of years, only made worse by...

    Opinion General view on attending AFL games - Will Brodie

    I really like this article, may not warrant it's own thread on the Freo board, mods please merge/delete if it doesn't http://www.smh.com.au/afl/afl-news/afl-must-listen-to-the-games-supporters-20140319-hvkdz.html

    Stand by your man

    The Eagles have announced they will provide ongoing support for Murray Newman, despite him being found guilty of GBH. Very complex scenario. On the one hand, we have an employer acting admirably and willing to assist in the attempts to rehabilitate a young guy that has made a serious error. On...

    News Preseason circus

    Steve H pretty strong on this one, pity he diluted his message by mixing up Black Caviar and Makybe Diva http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/preseason-picks-a-circus-20131029-2we90.html

    Terry Wallace: Legitimate GF tactic or dog act

    What say you? "If I'm the Hawthorn coach I'm going after Ryan Crowley," Wallace told Melbourne's SEN radio. Wallace said he would instruct Mitchell to run wider than usual at a stoppage, in the expectation that the trailing Crowley would be in enough space to be left exposed. "We're going to...

    2006 vs 2013 - rate the feeling

    We were chatting tonight at home about finishing 3rd in 2006, with the away QF to Adelaide, versus finishing 3rd now and travelling to Geelong. I'm feeling so different this time. 2006 we were coming off that run of nine straight including having beaten the crows over there a few weeks...

    Carlton causing finals damage (again)

    http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-08-19/finally-blues-aim-high Cannot believe, after Ratten said something similar before the gold coast debacle in round 22 last year, that a Carlton player would say they are really confident they will do well in the finals. Put your money on Essendon this week

    Sandi and Zac

    The best ruck combination of any of the finalists I think Some might argue Mumford/Pyke, or Bellchambers/Ryder, but I think we have them and all the rest covered. Look at the difference to Geelong from Simpson being out and having Goldstein smash them in the ruck. Could potentially be huge for...

    Get Stephen Hill to every stoppage

    We are such a well drilled and disciplined team, but will it have it's downside in the big games in September? At stoppages our first thought is to move the ball backwards to clear it out to a receiver coming from behind the stoppage, this is obviously the plan and the players are are doing it...

    Moved Thread Do we need a sin bin/send off rule?

    OK let's state up front, that if such a rule was in place last night it would not have been applied to Ryder, since McPharlin didn't even get a free kick. Let's also state up front Essendon showed great heart last night and had a good win, congratulations bombers. But what Ryder did last night...

    Which player from your club gets a raw deal from the umpires?

    The umpiring last night was terrible, yet nearly every free kick paid was technically there. It was terrible because of the inconsistency. Notwithstanding the fact that Brown got a couple of frees, he was basically being held or pushed in the back all night. In the games i've watched Brisbane...

    NAB cup round 1 the good, bad and ugly

    Seriously thought we pretty much played to expectations, some experimenting going on and I'm not too fussed by either the win or loss Good Walters, Suban, C Pearce are all going to have big years Mzungu, have to say I like the look of his game, Sheridan and Sutcliffe aren't displacing him...

    A bridge too far?

    I just read on afl.com that Geelong and North Melbourne are doing full match simulations against each other once a week for the next four weeks Obviously a plan hatched over the Scott Christmas table but it got me thinking, would we ever do the same thing with the mob up the road as a preseason...

    Universal Love New years resolutions for the irritating and irritable

    If every star aligns, 2013 could be bigger than it's ever been for Freo, so unburden yourself of negativity and post your best intentions for the new year. Unlike all those other wishy washy new years resolutions you might make, if you take the challenge yours will be recorded here, to be quoted...

    AFL: Travel to WA twice, get an easier draw

    Two interesting responses from Lethlean to questions on afl.com 1. When asked about why Essendon have played in Adelaide 5 years in a row: “We don't look at previous year's travel to dictate where clubs go the year after, except to share the load of travel to WA” 2. When asked to justify...

    NAB Cup 2013 draw

    Opinion Freo vs Crows Sep 14 predict winner and margin

    Fremantle by 5 points for mine, I think we can overcome the travel, the home town umpiring and no McPharlin again, but it will be close But looking through last week's Freo Geelong prediction thread, I want to know Escobar123's tips the most - genius

    Lyon 6PR 3/9/12

    Not much new here besides the banter about playing Pav in defence :eek: http://www.6pr.com.au/blogs/6pr-perth-blog/lyon-hints-pav-to-go-back/20120903-25aku.html On the topic of Pav, is Worsfold just an ungracious bum that can't help himself or plain stupid? Why would he weave a backhander to...

    Best Saturday night in a while

    1. The obvious, Carlton thanks for coming 2. Eagles won, meaning as long as Hawks give them a touch up next week and the Pies beat the Bombers they will finish 5th 3. We are now a monty for 8th Ergo, derby final

    Our defence will frighten any side

    When was the last time any Freo team managed to hold the opposition to 1 goal in a half for two consecutive games? When was the last time any AFL team did it?

    AAMI stadium, the final frontier

    Anyone see Mark Duffield's write up of the Port vs Melbourne game in his weekly column http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sport/a/-/sport/14336506/premium-duff-who-shone-who-bombed-in-round-17/ I wasn't worried about port before, but now they have recruited Captain Picard I'm having second thoughts

    Rookie elevation

    Not sure if I understand the rules completely, but as it is now past round 11 is it true we can elevate a rookie "for free" without putting someone else on LTI? If so, who? Schloithe is obviously doing OK. Roberts has had friends on this forum but has he even played seniors in the WAFL yet this...

    Rounds 13-17

    Reading back through the previews from rounds 1-5 and 6-11, apart from a few extreme optimists and pessimists most had predicted we'd be 6-5 or 7-4 by this point Can we build on the momentum of our best win of the year today? My speculative guesses: Essendon (h) loss Collingwood (a) loss...

    After today...

    Percentage aside, we are one win away from 6th and one loss away from 15th I know which of these I feel we are closer to Along with Carlton and North, we are the sides that have clearly gone backwards from round 1 to round 10. And that's notwithstanding what sounds like a better turn out...
