Prediction Round 9 Changes vs Hawthorn
Less confrontationally, but saying the same thing, I'd like to see the club ask the AFL to explain what high contact does and doesn't look like, and what ducking does and doesn't look like, so that we can tweak our tackling technique. A public statement from the umpiring department ahead of the... -

Yeah but, with all due respect to the geniuses at Fox Footy, I'd guess that if they noticed it, then most of the opposition coaching groups had it figured out a month ago. -

Player numbers you cannot disassociate with past players
I know there have been others in between, but #23 will always be Shane Parker for mine. Karl Worner in that jumper just makes me worry that Parker has borrowed some of Rory Lobb's bleach stash during a moment of despair. -

Agreed. They'd want Treacy on standby for the delivery - good safe pair of hands. -

Prediction Round 8 Changes vs. Western Bulldogs
I reckon this is the reason Pendlebury didn't play last night. He put his hand up to be that guy, and Fly couldn't talk him down, so they didn't want to risk it. Of course, with the good bloke discount, and allowing for the fact that he's a Collingwood player, a report for decapitating Watson... -

That would be THE change that the AFL could make to prove that the league was taking mental health issues seriously. Of course, it'd have to be worded carefully to prevent Geelong enrolling Bailey Smith in an online sports psychology course, and then trying to move all his payments outside any... -

Toast Welcome to Freo Murphy Reid - pick 17 of the 2024 Draft
Michael Barlow? But yeah, players that are even worthy of trying to make a comparison are few and far between. -

Not much in the way of a vent, but yeah I didn't like the optics of Murphy being even vaguely chatty with Harley. I may be projecting a bit, but it looked to me like Harley had more to say than Murphy could be bothered listening to. -

News The Best of the Rest - Other Freo Staff Discussion
He had a strong off season, and he's ticking all the boxes so far. He has plenty of confidence in his own ability to hold down a wing, but he's not a great trainer. To be frank, he hasn't been showing up at training regularly enough, and as a club we have to balance team discipline and the... -

Review What's The Point? Brother I'll Give You 25 Of Them As Freo Tame The Tigers By 60
This kind of thing is what makes me feel good about the season. Do we still rely on 5 or 6 players to get on top to win us the game? Yes, probably. But we're getting to a place where it's not the same 5 or 6 every week. Reid was a bit off, Johnno pops up. Tag Serong, more space for Brayshaw and... -

Prediction R3 Changes v Richmond
In general, I favour resting the big guys for away games and wheeling them out at home. The stresses of a flight on someone who's 200cm, give or take, add up quicker. (I'd think. I'm Dudley height, and the last time I had a decent point of reference for being fighting fit was when "partying like... -

That's a fair cop. I just flat out misread the page I was looking at. I'm taking lessons from the experience, and I know that we'll be stronger as a club the next time it comes up. -

Prediction R3 Changes v Richmond
We only have two players (M. Cox and JOM) who are over 33, and they weren't selected last week. Arguably neither of them are in our best 23, but JOM would probably play if/when fit. Though to be fair, Melbourne probably won't get a lot of game time out of Steven May this year. Richmond are a... -

Welcome Isaiah Dudley - Welcome to Fremantle (SSP Selection)
On the bit that I highlighted, I think that he is really benefitting from Bolton and Reid getting midfield minutes. In his first few games last year it seemed pretty obvious that Reid and Dudley had paid attention in same training sessions and they each knew where the other would be better... -

I just can't ... How is this something that the MRO cares about? I can see an argument - barely - that Voss deserved a fine from that game, but if he did, it'd be for carrying Langdon around, not for rubbing his own eyes as a part of a taunt. The Langdon thing worked out OK because of the... -

It's NOT the good bloke clause. Apparently. By process of elimination I can only assume he avoids suspension via the Collingwood Get out of Jail Free card. BTW, not saying that he deserved a week, but surely they're taking the piss by saying it's not the good bloke thing. -

Autopsy R1: Dockers Go Down to the Cats After Fast Start
Apparently it's a Mike Tyson quote: "Everyone has a plan until they're punched in the mouth." In the modern AFL that's metaphorical, not a literal punch in the mouth, but it does seem a bit of a trend that if an opposition finds a way to land a few telling blows, it takes the players on the park... -

This seems like as good a place as any for me to get this off my chest.

Any other week of the year, the team that has had to travel and play a full game... -

Prediction Round 1 Changes vs. Geelong
The club also made it pretty clear that Sweid is doing day time fasting for Ramadan, which would add to the challenge of turning a teenager into an AFL-ready body this month. And depending on how observant he is, he potentially wouldn't be able to rehydrate during the course of the game against... -

Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2026
My same-same but different take on it is that VFL House did the maths and realised that with the top 8 it's possible to have no Victorian teams in the finals at all. And that it'll just get worse when they add Tassie. So to guarantee that they can keep up the ratings in Melbourne during... -

Toast Welcome to Fremantle Mason Cox - Supplementary Selection Period Pick 2025/26
My theory when they picked up Cox was that he coming to pick up a pay check, use the gym and maybe get a head start on a transition into coaching roles. And on the club's side, Freo was happy to sign him as an assistant ruck coach who happened to have a jumper number assigned without having to... -

Now I'm wondering if the Saints wanted Liam Ryan all along but accidentally recruited the wrong Liam from WA a couple of years back.

He's a bit young to be considered for the test set up, so that'll count against him. On the flip side, he has played at a senior level on the SCG, MCG, Gabba, ... so the experience is with him. -

I want to apologise to the WACA. I found out this game was on Kayo, and tuned in on Friday with WA cruising at 5/190. Then on Saturday, I found out it was still going, so turned it on at the start of the 89th over. I reckon I watched maybe 8 overs, but the damage was all done then. On second... -
