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.

I have been reflecting on this Amazon AFL Doco which is being made. The teams they are focusing on Fremantle, GWS, Western Bulldogs, Gold Coast and Brisbane Lions.

While selfishly i would have wanted Freo to go on an unbeaten run and win the Grand Final. Excluding GWS there was a string of games they were knocking each other out.

Freo knocked WB out of making the finals, GC knocked Freo out in the Elimination Final, Brisbane knocked Gold Coast out in the Semi Final and who knows how far they go.

There will be some storylines there so looking forward to watching it 👍

 
Sounds like ur doing damage control forthe club

I just had a quick look on the club site for some gym session photos to disprove Hardie but it doesn't look like there are any there from this year. I suspect the club sold all our gym equipment because all our players refused to set foot in there.
this would be about as crazy as selling your brownlow to pay a gambling debt

Is there a particular reason for Hardie's grudge against the club?
I think originally he was miffed he wasn’t asked to be involved when Freo started (not as a player rather some form of coaching). It really went off the rails when he stated that Ross the Boss was speaking to Collingwood to coach them at the time Lyon had a spot on 6Pr every week talking to Hardie. Apparently Lyon rang him and tore strips off him and refused to ever go back on PR (it wasn’t true re Collingwood imho).
Overall though it doesn’t take much to get under his skin. Not being invited to the Western Bullies centenary speaks volumes too. He won a Brownlow there after all.
