Certified Legendary Thread Bob's Adventures In Fremantle - You Really Want To Read This!!!!

Tonga Bob · 2023-03-13T07:21:28+00:00

Hi all, Hope you're getting Big Kev excited as we lead into round one later this week! As many of you would have realised, I spent a couple of weeks over in WA recently under the guise of visiting family and friends. Little do my family & friends know however that they were merely an excuse for my ulterior motives for making the trip - visiting breweries Official Moderator Business. Here's a summary of what I got up to... PRE-SEASON GAMES I got to attend the two pre-season games: the seven-quarter Footypalooza event at Cockburn vs Adelaide, and the Homecoming Parade at Fremantle Oval vs Port Adelaide. Some thoughts on these: Both were great to attend for differing reasons. The first game was a glorified training event but fascinating to watch, particularly seeing the new recruits but also a lot of the up and comers who would normally be playing for Peel, and the second was more in line with an actual game, and at the spiritual home of the both the club and my love of the game; It's amazing the correlation between progression into pre-season and level of rustiness, and it's gratifying to hear the comments from the crowd and how similar they are to the comments in here. We aren't a bunch of crackpots after all!!! Footy players are massive units, which you really get to appreciate up close; raffrox & Clems Knee are legends for hanging out with me in Freo. MEETING OF THE MODS In scenes not witnessed since Seppo & Allikat were waving flags together in the away supporters bay in Melbourne, there was a meeting of the Freo mods. Snuffaluphagus Van_Dyke & I took the opportunity to catch up at Gage Roads for a meal and a chat. We talked about plans for the year, how the team will go and which of you we like and which give us the irrits. See if you can guess which is which? I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. MERCH SHOPPING Freo merchandise in central Victoria is as rare as rocking horse poo, so I took the opportunity to stock up on merchandise at the store in Cockburn. I even got to use my member voucher for the first time in years!!! I even got my hands on some of those Pirate Life Wharfie Draughts, my compliments to the chef! CATCH UP WITH THE FREO SOCIAL MEDIA TEAM The other thing I did in Cockburn was to catch up for a coffee & a chat with Tom & Brett from the Freo SM team. Universally admired for arguably some of the AFL's greatest online content (possibly alongside some of TheInjuryFactory 's artwork), it was great to have a chat with them and understand how the magic happens, and it was also great to hear that some of the stuff that we do on here is read, acknowledged and enjoyed in the wider Freo community! One of the things we chatted about was what opportunities there are for us to work together. I mean we're both purveyors of online Freo-related content, one being the professionally-run official channel for the club and one being a loose collection of passionate yet amateur online 'personalities', but our goals are roughly the same - to evangelise all things Fremantle Football Club. We agreed that there is some real scope for collaboration between the club and this board, and with that in mind it's my privilege to announce the first cab off the rank... Q&A WITH LACHIE SCHULTZ!!! You may have seen a few player or coach Question & Answer sessions run by the SM team over the past couple of weeks as we lead into 2023 AFL season, and when it was Lachie's turn he said "I only want to do mine on BigFooty thanks lads!!" (he probably didn't say that but it sounds pretty sweet). So stay tuned, as in the next hour or so I'll be putting up a thread where you can ask a question of Lachie. There will be picked up by the SM team, who are now on the board under the username freo_dockers (why was that username not taken yet???) who will ask them of Lachie and will come back with his replies. Some important things to note: We have a short period of time where questions are open, as Lachie and the team have a game to prepare for this week. So I'll need you to get your questions into the Q&A thread (once I post it) by 12:00pm Perth time tomorrow (Tuesday 14th March), Make sure your questions are respectful and coherent. It goes without saying that we're probably the nutty uncle of the online Freo family, but your questions will be going to an actual person that you want to do well in his chosen endeavour, which is representing the Fremantle Football Club to the best of his ability. Some humour is fine of course, but just think about what you would ask him in person before posing your question here. Assuming we don't completely botch this up, we'll get some more collaborations going between our board and the club over the course of the season. So get both your thinking caps and your skates on, and once I get the Q&A thread up send in those questions. Cheers, Bob.

Well the Q&A with Lachie Schultz is done and dusted, here's a link if you missed it or wish to take a look back: Official Club Stuff - Q&A With Lachie Schultz

Keep your eye out on the board over the course of the season as we look to get more Champagne Collaboration events* between us and the club happening.

* collaboration events subject to club & moderator availability, and how many bricks you throw during the season (fewer bricks = more collaboration).
