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.
 
Simmo referring to Dockers as “we” more than once in his podcast with Goss.

Interesting and has me thinking about what that could mean. He also felt next year Fremantle should be held to account for a top 4 finish but not this year.

Is Simmo considering a role at Freo next year ? Have to ask the question. I have no intel on this whatsoever.

He said "we" in his commentary for Fox a while ago as well when referring to Freo. I thought it was interesting at the time, unless he just sees himself as a supporter of both WA teams.

Shouldn't Kingy be more concerned about his ol club the Kangas? What a tool.
King Wan, is a tool of the top calibre.
Take away his lap top and he is a dead set dud. At the momnet he is a tool closing in on a dud.
Makes me wonder why those forced to work with him on Fox do not ask the same question.
It is a shame that Montagna is on the same show as the w ker

I think that stuff from Kane and kingy is harmless enough to be fair. Their show is a lighthearted entertainment product. I don’t think they hate freo as such. They get stuck into plenty clubs and afl figures over the season.

I find the likes of Tim Gossage a lot more toxic and sinister in his commentary about freo. He absolutely despises us and it was evident yesterday when he spoke with Simpson about Freo.

Actually a guy that really is beginning to irritate me in his commentary on Freo is Ryan Daniels. All week long he was cheerleading a Freo win and dismissive of the suns chances. Arrogance and hubris on full display purely to curry favour with WA dockers fans. If we finish 7th next year and lose week 1 of finals he’ll still be talking about how freo fans are too demanding and expect too much.

Mark Duffield is the only pundit worth listening to. His show was excellent yesterday if you want some balanced reflection on the game.

The entire week of the game was exactly the same as the western bulldogs game in terms of the media build up except in reverse. Our media (including Ryan Daniels) was completely dismissing and disrespecting the suns. Just like the VFL media dissed us the week before v the doggies.

Before any one jumps in and says that kind of thing has no impact on the players - that’s nonsense. The players don’t live in a vacuum and hear and see the narrative around our team and our opponents all the time.
I’d love if someone asked rhino what he thought of the West Australian (his ****ing employers) front page last week? You can be sure he’ll dodge that question.
