Back by popular demand. However...

There has been some aggro from publishers of articles in recent months about sites that copypasta their content onto other sites, particularly the paywalled ones, which could lead to fines and whanot for those that do it. Apparently there are copywrite laws for these things. As a result we can no longer have full articles reposted here, so if you come across something then please refrain from nabbing the whole thing and just post the link. Quoting a paragraph or two and linking the source is fine however, just don't get greedy.

Here's the updated site-wide rule: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/please-read-re-copyright-posting-newspaper-articles.1389553/

Here's an example of what you can do:

"If West Coast was the gold standard for how to operate, then Fremantle's arrival into the AFL in 1995 could be viewed as a series of cautionary tales.

Despite eight wins in that debut season, a series of poor recruiting choices meant they didn't play their first final until 2003."

If they believe that us not making finals until 2003 was solely due to "a series of poor recruiting choices" then I have a bridge to sell them.


Thanks for your understanding.
 
Fremantle Overated!

Melbourne Underated!

Does this bloke even watch footy!

God I could go on about his other selections but I'm still seething.

Just a terrible article.

Freo are 8th in the betting markets. The consensus is we might sneak into the finals. What is this nonsense that we are being talked up as flag fancies?

The only person Ive heard really talk us up is King, and he's just setting himself to whack the coach/game plan if we falter.

Catch up on Schofield and Readings, "top 3" fanboys!

We do have a staggering amount of goodwill on BF I have noticed. In a lot of peoples top 4s or 6s.

Don't forget Hutchy, he's got us winning the flag.

He also had us recruiting Dustin Martin for this year, so there's that.
 
because they are learning from history. 2016 Richmond came 13th but they had a young team with all the pieces. 2017 they won the premiership after finishing 3rd H&A.

With this team, barring injuries, I see no reason why we can't finish top 4. Last year we were basically there until we lost our spine. Once you're top 4 anything can happen in finals, particularly when so many non-vic teams are still contending.

To be fair to the author, we are the only team that hasn't played finals in two years openly talking it up as flag contenders. On exposed form we are the definition of overhyped, and that won't change until we learn to deal with expectations.

Our own president has declared our window open. King is ready to hold us to account, and so he should.
