Ok. I’m about to go full sook levels, but should teams be equipped with a player or captain led review? Like a VAR. It happens too often at AFL level where a call or no call literally decide the outcome of a match. If teams had ONE review and if successful they maintain it for the final 2-5...

What's going on here? This is a light hearted vent or roast page, so if that's not your thing you should leave now! 1) Following a loss posters can come here and award their whips in a 3-2-1 fashion for worst on ground relative to the player's ability. 2) I'll ONLY take the first 10 posters...

Ok, we’re at an interesting part of the year and wanted to start a slightly different vibe thread to just non-Freo games. This one is all about cheering opposition teams as if we actually like them. The results help Freo to possibly enter the top 4. It’s going to feel yuck, but let’s just have...

Going incredibly early here. Angus Brayshaw as free agent? Do we have a crack? Lachie Neale? Do we throw money at Luke Jackson? Obviously we need to see how the side goes this season. I only mention as read an article about free agents and Angus Brayshaw seems a logical one we may target.

Ok ok. Everyone loves a spicy rumour or hearsay. No need to name drop, but interested in how deep people think they are with regards to the main wheelings and dealings of a club. If you wish to share a cheeky story, go ahead! What number are you??? 5. I get most of my gossip off BigFooty and...

Not sure if there's already a thread, but along with the 2019 Expectations thread I thought it would be interesting for people to highlight some interesting analysis etc. Some stuff I've found interesting. We're 2nd best defense. We're 7th best offense. I recall some facts around premiers...

Where are people at? I don't want to be too optimistic, but with the squad we have, surely finals? Is that too large a step up?? Clearly it will be injury and best 22 dependent. There'll be some guys take a step up, some a step down and others remain level, but I'm seeing and thinking there...

I thought I’d start a new thread to discuss everything final game related. For me pick 5 v pick 6 is of most interest. We play Pies who play before other important games and as such will want to win as well as they can for the potential top 2. That said they are likely to play Eagles first...

Possibly a controversial thread. We seem to be very encouraging of our youth, which in itself is great. However, let's apply the blowtorch to a few. This is a thread dedicated to having a melt about one/more of our youngsters. No need to defend them. Just good old honest melting. I'll start...

Obviously talking about Hogan. Dad dies. Testicular cancer. Broken collar bone. All within the season itself. Anyone recall anything as sad/unlucky as this? Not talking about just a year ending injury like an ACL. It's just feels the timing of all have been so unlucky. Gets back and within...

Just for fun and in salute to the derby lead up I thought I'd compare the last 7 drafts between the Eagles and ourselves. For the sake of keeping it simple I'll look at the players drafted in the year and give my opinion as to who won that years draft. I will weigh up where picks fell etc. Once...

I can't believe we're 5th! Teams are falling down and in an incredibly even comp where do people have us at? I mean finals with this lot would be an epic turnaround. Top 4? I mean can we genuinely dream?? I guess percentage is always a good sign of how teams perform. We've won all our close...

This season we averaged 71.5 points a game. The top 4 scoring teams combined averaged 106 points a game. Not taking behinds into consideration this is an alarming 12 goals to 18 goals difference. A 6 goal per game differential which over 22 rounds equates to an even more remarkable 132 more...

All this negative talk about Freo. All this media speculation on Fyfe, Ballas the club etc. Today I did something I haven't done in a while. I found the footy and headed down to the oval. Sure I needed to find the pump and needle and it was nearly enough to deter me from this expedition, but I...

Interested as to how we line up. Could Ross find a heart and play blokes like Mzungu, DeBoer, Morabito or will they go youth? Does Pavlich get a say in players he'd like to play a final game with, does he even get asked. Do they find anything and deliver some joy, with a memorable win to...

Well, sometimes the trade market hots up. Nick Suban has been linked as a trade target: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-08-03/fremantles-nick-suban-emerges-as-likely-trade-target-for-victorian-clubs Have a crack at his value... please try to keep a straight face. I'll give my unbiased view...

I support Fremantle. It's been a long season and even longer 20+ years. Anyway, here's a chance to have some fun, spruik your own team but to evaluate the young talent around clubs. That's about all us Freo supporters can look forward to seeing on a week to week basis. Here's the deal. You...

Who here thinks we can genuinely be a contender next year? How quick has this fall been? Now it's great to see us playing the youth, but they can't be expected to have major impacts for 2-3 years can they? Much will depend on drafting, but we lose Pav and I feel Johnson isn't far behind him...

Ok so Fyfe has broken his leg. It's not ideal. That said, we get an opportunity to run some youngsters through the middle for a solid 15+ weeks. When he returns (which I now hope is next year) he slots into CHF along with McCarthy. Our youngsters have developed some time in the middle and...

Ok I don't know how to do the poll thing, but this team has injected some excitement back into watching Dockers footy. No DeBoer, Suban, Mzungu or Clancee. All have been disrespected for sometime and some of it warranted. That said who wants to nominate who will fight their way back in first...

All the doom and gloom and it got me thinking about our actual cattle. Usually teams from the top 4 have numerous players vying for All Australian and arguably many who miss out. Who are our All Australians? Lock: Fyfe Likely: Sandilands (even he may miss out to the flavour of the month...

Think this deserves its own thread. Lots of chatter throughout other threads. Keep the discussion in here. There's rotational resting, whilst perhaps still attempting to win and then there's sweeping changes resting. The integrity card by AFL may be played? Here's my first scenario. Would...

Who do they replace? I'll say now that someone in the top 4 will hit an injury crisis and drop out completely. I'll also nominate Essendon to drop out. Gold Coast in and Carlton due to their easier draw and a change of fortunes.

A few years ago Michael Walters shaped up for a banana at the Gabba to win us a game. He slotted it and all the faithful thought we had a gun. We did but in between he nearly wasted his opportunity. Fast forward and Crozier calmy slots a goal after a great tackle in similar fashion. Many are...
