Circle of life? Sydney to play Freo in WA
In 2006 Sydney put out the freo Flame in a prelim that took place at ANZ stadium. In 2013 will Freo put Sydney out of their misery in Perth? -
Most rigged umpiring I've seen for a while.....
That first half was an absolute joke of umpiring. The second half was a lot better umpired but the umpires gave Geelong about 3 goals in the first half, and nearly could have been 5 or 6 if those players were accurate. The most biased umpiring I've seen against Freo for a couple years. The... -
Hawks and Sydney ... two weeks in a row?
Seems a bit ..... boring in a way. Why did the AFL fixture this between two likely finalists?- Memories

Scape Goat Shouldn't Essendons points be given to the teams they beat?
Makes more sense to me that the teams that lost to Essendon should get 4 points for the game and Essendon 0. How can they merely just take points from Essendon and not reward teams that they beat? This puts us into the top 2 if it happens, yes? -
Toast No mundy no difference
Did anyone really notice Mundy wasn't there today? Commentators didn't even mention it until he was shown in the crowd. It's funny how "one of the best players in the AFL" according to some isn't even noticed as missing. Like I said numerous times before, Mundy in the current team offers very... -
Roast Essendons tainted win. Ryder and Kommer gawnsy
Nearly 5 weeks for Ryder, reduced to 3 with early plea and Kommer got 3 reduced to 2. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-04-15/bomber-blow-ryder-kommer-hit-with-bans -
Freo will thrash the Crows next week
After nearly beating them when we were injury riddled earlier in the year at AAMI I think in their current form they are going to get rubbished. Which sets us up for prelim against Hawthorn where we will probably get destroyed again. But interesting nonetheless to make another prelim. Looks... -
Fold Melbourne vs Freo stats
http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_match_statistics?mid=5530 Check the below table. We are not that far off the same average age as North Melbourne, but more games, more weight, more height. Quite an interesting statistic since they are supposedly "up and coming". North Melbourne... -
Mundy paid $3500 per effective disposal in 2012
Given Mundy's salary and bonuses, his total disposal count and his disposal efficiency he has been paid 3486.75 for every effective disposal this year. People are now suggesting he move back to HBF, he is set to become the games highest paid back flanker. -
Toast Good game Ross Lyon
We didn't win but it was an entertaining game. With a bit more class in the midfield we would have won. I think when the game plan changed to be more defensive in the last quarter our team just basically collapsed. Whether that is fitness or the fact the loose man broke everything, hard to say... -
Lost, but it wasn't boring
Sure we lost but you couldn't say you weren't entertained a good amount by the game yesterday. It was missing a bit more of the "Magic" of a good AFL game but it was OK. At least the Freo players in general turned up to play unlike the last few weeks. Happy to see Crichton and Crozier look... -
Will the Saints game tonight be boring?
I used to dread watching the Saints on a friday night, most times I didn't even bother because I knew it was going to be a snooze fest. I haven't seen them play this year besides the time against Freo so was just wondering how exciting they are to watch? Are they more exciting than last year... -
Things Ross Lyon makes exciting
After Watching 9 games of Freo this season I've started to appreciate the world around me. Everything else seems so exciting now, anyone want to post the things that became exciting to them after watching a Freo or Saints game coached by Ross Lyon? -
Ross Lyon - Drop Pavlich, Sandilands and Mundy
Lyon needs to say any experienced player putting in a "no effort" performance is going to get dropped. Most of us freo supporters know what I'm talking about in regards to "No effort". It's the same shit we've been seeing for nearly 2 decades of "Near enough is good enough". If these players... -
Cement Sandilands and Ballantyne in forward 50?
Sandilands and balla should stay permanently in the forward 50. The midfielders then just need to learn to kick the ball to the same spot in the forward 50 where Sandilands can make a contest and either mark it or palm it to Ballas. Seems unstoppable. It means our midfielders don't need... -
Ross "boring" Lyon
My fears last year when we recruited him was that he would make Freo unwatchable. He is currently in the process of doing this. At the Aurora game today people in the crowd were audibly frustrated at the flooding and the fact that Buddy and Cyril were always "crowded". Now you can say it is... -
Ross Lyon turns mince meat into a hamburger
But hamburger mince still isn't as good as a juicy steak is it? He's got Freo "Nearly winning" in all the games. About time isn't it I hear some of you freo fans shout out! How about no? Most of our games this year have been absolute bore fests just like Saint Kildas were when he was there. 36... -
Will Freo becoming "unwatchable" under Lyon?
Yes, Lyon seems to know how to put a hard edge into players and can come up with a defensive game. But I did not like watching the Saints play and have to wonder if I'll like watching Freo play going forward. Hopefully he can implement a game plan which doesn't involve rugby esque tactics or has... -
The exact player we needed: Robinson
Back at the end of 2008 everyone thought we were flying high, we had Palmer the rising star, and we went into the trade period thinking we finally had the right people in there making the decisions. However fast forward a few years and we can see that many of their choices have failed in the... -
Solomon, now McPhee
I think both Solomon and McPhee put more of themselves into Freo than pretty much everyone else we've had play. Why do we need ex-essendon recruits to come to freo to have a bit of heart? After Freo's woeful first quarter, McPhee comes out to impose himself and gets the whole team firing due to... -
Why is West Coast so successful this season?
Just curious what those "supporters" who said we shouldn't tank feel about the good old West Tank Eagles. Tanked a few seasons, ripped out all their seniors, sent them off for the slightest niggle, won the spoon. Got some good draft picks. And now look to be top 4 this year. So to those... -
Round 12 2006 - Fremantle defeated by Geelong
Anyone remember this game? Before our winning streak that saved Chris Connolly? Final score Round 12 2006: Fremantle - 52 Geelong - 118 And on the weekend against the Saints. Final Score: Fremantle - 56 Saint Kilda - 102 Both insipid performances where the players just didn't want to play... -
The problem with Freo.... no one cares...
We have been insipid against the Saints, they have their best player injured early and still easily defeat us... and all the Freo players do not care. Where are the players that bleed purple enough to let their emotions get the better of them? The players that will just go out and do something... -
Harvey to bring in Palmer and Schammer?
http://www.w*************.au/games/view/8841 Palmer had 3 goals, 6 tackles, 3 inside 50s, 24 disposals for the Sharks. Schammer had 28 disposals, leading Claremont in their loss. Both are better than Crichton and Pitt. Expect them to both come back for all intents and purposes in the WAFL... -
Coaching and selection near worst in the league
Could someone tell me what fool decided to drop Palmer and play Crichton? For that magic decision we got 13 "quality" disposals from Crichton, whether he was kicking out on the full, to players with defenders hanging off them or basically to no one, I felt they each added quality to West Coasts... -
Bock goes to GC Suns
Interesting that Bock has said he's going to the suns before the season is over, forcing the Crows to sack him. Who have the Suns targeted at Freo? All rumours currently point to Mundy, who like Bock, enjoys a surf. Anyone have a list of the end of season uncontracted players? -
Toast Most attractive Fremantle player
It's not often I watch the Freo games with my girlfriends, but when they do they usually make comments about who the most attractive player on the ground is. They brought up Broughton and I thought, hmm, maybe he is the most attractive player. So I looked at a few of his photos and came up with... -
Roast Should we trade Mundy?
Should we trade Mundy? It is my belief he doesn't put his all into Freo, yet a lot of supporters seem to think he is our third best player behind Pavlich and Sandilands. He has been with us for six seasons, so let us look at how Mundy has trained over this period :- Now let us look at... -
No midfield depth
Pretty much the only reason we were in a top 4 spot was Barlow being such a great midfielder. Even with Barlow our midfield would only be top 8 quality at best, but with the domination of Sandilands we could compete around the top 4 mark. So when the midfield starts getting injuries to key... -
Why is the Freo zone more attractive than the Saints?
Both teams employ the zone, yet only one team this year consistently gets big scores and has more exciting games. Obviously the fact Freo isn't 100% about defense is the difference. Zone football can be attractive football, ala hawks of 08, Geelong, and Freo this year. It's only when a coach...- Memories
