Dead Coach Bounce - Myth Busted
There is a prevailing myth that sacking a coach provides a dead coach bounce to the club and is likely to result in a win in the game immediately after the sacking. I decided to apply my peerless analytical skills to this matter so I asked Grok to list all the sackings since 2000 and the result...- Joose

Jumper Numbers 2024
Available are 5, 14, 16, 21, 23, 29, 33 and 38. If it were up to me to allocate them 5 - Delean 14 - Sharpe 16 - Simpson 21 - Murphy 23 - McDonald 29 - Rookie selection 16 was retired for a year - thats enough. Time to bring 29 back. I would give it to a rookie,,give them a lift. -
Beltings
One thing that is rather annoying about following Freo is how few thrashings they dish out. In the entire history of the club there have been only 2 100+ point wins - one in 2005 and one in 2013. How many 75 + point wins have there been in the last decade? All our "good wins" are in 30-40... -

Traded Lloyd Meek - [Traded with F2 (Dogs) to Hawthorn for Jaeger O'Meara and F4]
Could not see a thread on Lloyd. Apparently will ask for a trade this year. Contracted for 1 more year and having a very good season at Peel. 2nd fiddle to Darcy and if Jackson comes will be 3rd wheel. What's he worth, bearing in mind the bloated price for rucks in the marketplace?- Joose

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all my fellow Freo wayfarers and their kin. Don't drink and drive, be nice to everyone, stay out of the heat, don't make unrealistic New Years resolutions and and remember that the glass is ALWAYS half full. See you all in 2022. -

Recommitted Tim English [contracted and staying at the Western Bulldogs]
There is a bit of speculation about young Tim over Freo way. The local rag has run a story about his missus being signed by the local netball team. Any of you pundits heard anything?- Joose

Recommitted Lachie Schultz [re-signed until 2023]
Media article has suggested that Hawthorn are coming hard for Lachie ( sorry cannot find the article at present ). He is an unrestricted Free Agent and has yet to re-sign. Had a good year. So what sort of compo would Freo get should the unthinkable happen. I am thinking a pick after Freo's...- Joose

Half Way Point
Well its hump day..how are we doing. TBH we are about where I thought we'd be although an extra win would have been nice. I think the club has done ok considering the list age profile and constant injuries. Positives ... Darcy, Treacy, Mundy, winning ugly, absorbing injuries, creating plenty... -
Changes Rnd 1 - Vs Demons
Well, by my reckoning: Lobb, Sturt and Walters are def unavailable. Injury clouds on Logue, Cerra, Serong, Ryan, Darcy and Valente. Darcy and Logue will be seriously underdone so will not play. quite a few players are coming of long injury layoffs so are rusty - Tucker, Young, Pearce etc so... -
Jumper Numbers
I know its only a trivial thing but , hey, we have new players. Free numbers are 1, 3, 17, 23, 24, 35, 38, 40. Tradition at Freo has been to give the top draft pick the lowest available number - so Chapman gets #1 I would assume? Also Thomas has 46, Dumin has 44 and Watson has 45 while our... -

Happy New Year
Happy New Years to all. My wishes for the new year are modest. 1. Freo 2020 Premiers 2. Fyfe to win third Brownlow 3. Hogan to win Coleman 4. Young to win Rising Star Or perhaps more realistically 1. Freo to make 8 2. Fyfe to win third Brownlow 3. One of our KPFs to kick 50+ 4. Young to win... -
Play Nice 2020 Pre-Season Training
Never too early for a training thread. Any punters out there know when it gets underway? I am guessing 1st or 2nd week November. It would be interesting to see what the regular training crew notice with the new regime.
