    Analysis the Josh Treacy effect

    Well, any Freo supporter who doesn’t love Treacy’s progression this year is missing out. His attack on the ball and the man has been splendid.

    2nds Peel Thunder 2024 Season

    Pay that 😂 What the Crow bloke did this evening, where he landed awkwardly and dislocated his patella then walked off after it was popped back in…. that was a patella dislocation.

    2nds Peel Thunder 2024 Season

    On a slightly unrelated note, why does The West persist in describing Walker's injury as a patella dislocation? Those are pretty straightforward; pop it back in and yay. He tore his patella tendon, which is a much much worse injury.

    I never knew that Jonathan Brown and Garry Lyons were North Melbourne greats, but after listening to their commentary, I stand corrected.

    Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 2 - North v Freo Sat March 23rd 1:45pm AEDT (Marvel)

    Well, I did enjoy this thread. Particularly the early crows from WC supporters. As a Dockers supporter since 1995, I've learned to take my fun when I find it 🤣 OTOH, anyone who declared game over in the first half didn't watch last week, or, for example, the first final in 2022. This team is...

    Welcome Welcome Luke Jackson!!!

    Cannot wait for us to have our big gorilla ruck back (assuming he makes it all the way back from what looks like chronic knee issues), so that the unicorn can roam free and create havoc. Holy moly, that would be a beautiful thing. If this guy keeps developing like the average big man does until...

    Prediction Changes: Round 3 Vs Adelaide

    Brodie for Fyfe if Fyfe's sore. Gotta manage the GOAT and avoid injuries to have a chance to be there at the pointy end; that 2 big/2 small midfield balance just works too well.

    Review Freo storm home against North

    Thought Walker was good - I winced out of fear for his poor knee a few times, but he didn't seem to worry about it at all. Good signs. Fyfe looked like Fyfe, which is all I was hoping for after the last few years. He's a legend. Loving Treacy's game; so much hustle, and he really creates a...

    Review Freo storm home against North

    There are two teams within Freo. One is the best side in the comp: big skilled midfield, tough defence, irresistible forward line. The other is the 1996 Fitzroy Lions 🤦‍♂️

    Game Day 2024 Rd2 Freo v Roos @Marvel

    Tabs may be cooked, but expecting him to be cherry ripe in his first AFL game since, what, round 4 last season, seems a bit rough.

    Anyone needing a cheerful alternative should check out the Sheffield Shield final. Caught the last session live yesterday; was rather enjoyable.

    Game Day 2024 Rd2 Freo v Roos @Marvel

    I am so sick of Freo first quarters. I am also f—-ing sick of Vic clubs getting kissed on the —- by the umps. FFS, it is not a high tackle if old mate puts his head down and runs head first into a Freo player. Or if the point of the shoulder gets tapped. And if you get tackled and spun in a...

    Depends on your sport too; one of the ice hockey players for the Montreal Canadiens played 6 years professionally with a torn ACL before injuring the knee again and getting it repaired.

    Preview 2024 Round 2 Freo v Roos

    I just have horrible memories of last year…. at work and a wardie was watching the game live on his phone while we transferred a patient to another ward. I saw the score and swore; the patient was somewhat put out (i couldn’t help myself) So, hoping the boys bring their A game. Freo’s often...

    Injury 2024 Injury Thread

    Was just reading about a new study for ACL injuries where a special brace designed to keep the ends of the ligament adjacent was fitted for some weeks; turns out it heals back together. So we may have a new protocol soon, at least for us mugs.

    Injury 2024 Injury Thread

    Concussions should be at least 3 weeks out, regardless of whose brain it is. Can't see the damage... how are you going to clear it? Gradual return to contact then play. Don't mess with players' brains. I researched concussion at med school and the evidence has only got more conclusive since. We...

    Game Day Preseason Game 1 vs Harley Reid & Mates

    Poor sad troll. His team’s season last year was a worse season than our sad little team has ever had. Perhaps worse than any team has ever had. He’s gotta get his thrills somewhere. Have a giggle and move along.

    Game Day Preseason Game 1 vs Harley Reid & Mates

    People talking about smart Fyfe vs bull Fyfe… the incredibly quick hands were always what stood out when he was in form watching him live. Watched a few Freo matches at Manuka which is a small ground, and the hands are what really stood out then. The average player moving that fast ends up...

    I’m devo for Brayshaw as well. That Collywobbles bloke got away with it too; could’ve put hands out and instead put his shoulder through Brayshaw’a head. Disgusting. And I say this as someone who played and has similarly had attempted spoils go wrong… if I had time to put out my arms and cushion...

    Why does The Worst always describe Walker’s injury as a dislocated knee? Patella tendon tear too complicated to say?

    Training Preseason 2024

    Interesting discussion about football sports. I think it’s about understanding what the sports are. NFL is a power impact sport. Short burst of high power, long rests. If those guys are on for 6 minutes game time in a row, they’re stuffed. They are supreme athletes for that and would be...

    Training Preseason 2024

    I’ve been to a live game, and there are heaps of TV ad breaks and bits where it’s just watching fat blokes waddle on and off the field (being heavy is part of being able to play the power positions, and they eat piles of bacon at training camp!). They manage to cram about 7 minutes of actually...

    Deadset, Jaeger O'Meara just doesn't have a Freo vibe to me. Looks like he should be wearing a suit and running with the Rat Pack.

    Training Preseason 2024

    It's interesting that we haven't seen a lot of these heatstroke deaths in Aussie Rules despite preseasons universally being in the hottest part of the year. Major issue in American Football, presumably because they tend to be a heavier bodied athlete (downright fat in many cases) and wear heavy...

    My family's lived in the Freo area since the 50s, so I have a proper soft spot for it! But yeah, heaps of wonderful lifestyle spots for young blokes playing footy in the area. Beats the crap out of Melbourne and Sydney at the very least. And to be honest, I'm living close to the wet toast...

    Unsuccessful Freo people in charge of Freo

    I've somewhat given up on the club, although it's mostly about the Woodside thing. I mean, if they give up on us, why shouldn't we give up on them? Deadset, genuinely, not woke enough. Still, better than that crappy bunch up the coast who swapped the lives of several players for a premiership...

    Training Preseason 2024

    Gotta say, I'm not sure I buy the "players don't want to come to Cockburn" argument. It's a very nice facility, and you can easily live in Freo (wonderful lifestyle) and just pop down there for your day job, taking 20 minutes or less in the car. It's not like players need to live in Cockburn...
