Bravo mods for the clean up work! Thank you.

I believe racism is a happenstance of human nature and then social conditioning can distort it and amplify it, IMO. Whitey appear to be the champs of it to me, and I'm a whitey btw. However, all races and all people are inherently guilty to some degree. It's unavoidably woven into the DNA in all...

FFS, what is wrong with people? Ya know, a lot of people often regret their angry, hurtful and obscene outbursts. I wonder what kind of person this guy really is? Has he just made the mistake of his life and perhaps is at a life-turning moment for him (and perhaps some well-earnt jail time)? Or...

Yeah, I think we're more potent with Logue forward too. I'd push NOD in for Colyer myself (on current form).

This has been Freo's best season since 2013, IMO. We should end this defeatest mindset where we're always panicking or worried about the next 'danger game'. The reality is, we'll be favourites for every remaining game in 2022, including against Melbourne at Optus. Further, the other teams...

This free kick issue is a non-issue. We were lucky that Clarke wasn’t pinged and Saints were unlucky that Hill was. Double whammy. I can’t remember ever seeing a drop like that not being pinged - ever. If it scraped his foot, well blow me over with a feather. That used to be dropping the ball...

Reckon Freo will win this game unless it buckets down again. We're just too methodical and JL knows how to make tweaks mid-game to adapt. On a separate note, I'm liking the positive talk around Hughes too. The next three weeks results will reveal who the real contenders are, IMO. Truth time.

Nathan Buckley wrote the most important article of the year (to me) this week, when he criticised the media as a whole for the treatment of our latest #1 draft pick, of whom, is required to conform to a system of expectation from a variety of external forces - the club he joins, and the...

Yeah, reckon Melbs are going to drop out of the Top4 altogether, myself. Brisbane will be harder to beat than Pies so I’m pencilling in another loss there. They’re broken and they know it. Everyone jumped on the bandwagon too soon. The “daylight and then Melbourne” comments were made when they...

Poor Switta. I think he's the type of player we'll only get 12-16 weeks out of him each season, because of his fragility. Not his fault, and I'll be glad if he can just contribute a 60-80% season for the next seven or eight years, if thats all his body will allow. JL's Freo aint about any one...

Really luv Bucks for this refreshing and much needed perspective of a somewhat maligned youngster. Serves as a good reminder for all scribes, including many of us mere mortals who happily rip into young players, calling them all sorts of names on these forums and elsewhere. Bravo Bucks, we all...

IMO, Logue doesn't need to be all that accurate to be an effective and damaging forward. All he has to do is take the marks, or bring the ball to ground and rove it (as he already does), and feed it off to a small in space and let them kick the goals. I'm fully on the 'Logue as a forward'...

Oh Captain, my captain. Wonderful achievment from a stellar career. He helped bring legitamcy, relevance and respect to the club. Thank you Pav, and warmest of congratulations.

Vic nuffies are hard to get too, sometimes. The comp has been "AFL" since 1990. Thought "Australian" means "Australian" doesn't it? Since 1990, in what way is it a "Victorian league"? And what teams, if any, ever wanted to join a "Vic league"?

I wonder if he'll donate 40 billion to Carlton and then blame someone else for it? Amazed that a failed treasurer with a highly questionable skillset and level of competency is even being considered. I wonder how divided he can make the entire AFL community with his special brand of...

Thought it was great that we didn’t get everything our way but we found a way to win. Good learnings to take out. Happy with Fyfe’s return. Think we’re going to be bonafide premiership fancy if we can get the Brodie-Fyfe balance right without either dropping output. Bravo Freo! Let’s enjoy the...

I was a Tucker fan up until maybe a month ago when it finally dawned on me that this Freo squad has become too quick for him. He appears to struggle with the pace of the game, to me. Would like to hold on to him as a depth player. I still consider him a talent (as every single player on any AFL...

You're right. I thought he might get dropped myself - but it just didnt sound right. And also agree with someone else who responded to another of my posts talking up his on field leadership. I think it's got to do with us potenitally having four or five other 'best 22' players all cueing up for...

Gawd, and now we have four 'best 22' players cueing up this week to come back in. Who to drop is becoming the thing we tear ourselves apart over each week, he he. Well, assuming no surprise injuries or outs, I reckon... Tucker out for Fyfe (no brainer) Colyer out for Walters (unlucky) Meek out...

I would suggest the losses against Pies & Suns were the losses we needed to have. It’s the combo of losing those games then bouncing back against the undefeated premiers on their home turf that makes our team so much stronger, have learned from, and filled our team with all-important ‘belief’...

Great win! If we can back it up and knock off the Lions, we would have every right to be considered flag favorites. If we beat Lions this week, would mean we have beaten four out of a possible five from the top six. I don't think anyone else has done that. The Melbourne win puts the flag tilt...

Just for some balance and counter-perspective, Collins came to Freo as a mature ager, as I recall from Box Hill, I think? He was also in a 'Ballantyne Hate' FB group, before he came to the club. Not sure if he just liked some hate posts or if he made comments (anyone remember the story?), but I...

What a great match up that would be! Two hard heads with a point to prove. Mouth watering just thinking about it.

I actually felt sorry for the Roos last night. They're clealry under seige. Some of their kids just couldnt take a trick - holding the ball, then out on the fulls. Our pressure just smothered them. Cant remember the last time I had empathy for a team we smashed, but I did for them last night...

Also lets not forget he had the body size of an anemic ant when first drafted. He's had to build up his body, just to compete. No surprise he's not ready until about now. Go Liam Henry! You'll be right mate, and I'll take two of those ties, cheers.

Reckon Freo are staring down the barrel of possibly the best list we've had since 2013, and with a degree of depth we've never enjoyed in our histiory. This is by far the best position we've been in for some time and could be on the verge of our first dynasty. Lets bring on the cheer, huh...

How is it we are going so well, yet there are so many melts? All this dissing of our players, and the self-justification of the dissing. You'd think reading some of this nonesense that JLo has no idea what he's doing, ffs. Fortunately he's got the team humming nicely. Go JLo! Go Henry! Go...

Well, with six outs, and lashings of justified optimism, this is the perfect game to give others some much needed opportunity. There could be a few players coming in this week that might have to suit up again for Melbourne and Brisbane in a few weeks time if others are unavailable then also...

Given he was named as an emergency last week, I think he’s a certainty if healthy.

Reckon JLo is a methodical bloke with a gifted eye for accurate analysis. He knows exactly where the problems lie and appears to have the ability to make tweaks and get the message accross without a lot of emotion or angst. He's got the absolute best out of a no-name team and are they're...
