It's alright, if Freo lose this week, no doubt they will beat the Lions the week after. :(
I have big doubts on that.
Pavlich wont travel, and the inside word is Mundy aint happy and wants out.

Brisbane to win the celler-dwellers cup. Freo are going for pick #1.

I genuinely don't know how you can go from 1st to 17th or 18th in the space of one summer. Injuries, sure, but there's got to be some tanking going on here, right?

Great story. Is that the seventh or eighth time we've heard it? :rolleyes:

If Freo don't win either of these next 2 weeks then Owen will see his 22nd birthday.



Not true. Flogs like Plugger have turned it into a true 'Bigfooty rivalry', kind of like Norf vs Dogs.
You mean the kind of rivalry where flogs like Plugger continue to melt over the offended from us stealing Ross Lyon, and the Freo fans defend Ross because he's the boss, but don't as far as sledging StKilda because their team has been so bad since we got Ross that they're not even relevant to the competition?

I'm going to miss our entire playing list when they leave at the end of the year :(

Nah. Their game plan was completely found out.
No, it is because our entire ******* team is injured!

Yep. The style of game Ross Lyon coached is fast becoming a relic and that he is contracted to 2020 is a disaster for that club!
Nah, i feel ross tried a new game plan and the players aren't exactly used to it. We got absolutely punished in 2012.

It's funny how Freo supporters are still saying that Saints supporters are butthurt about Freo stealing Ross Lyon.

That might have had some merit when Freo were top 4 and playing finals but not when they're 0-10 and last on the ladder.

Just look at any of the main board threads about Lyon

Injuries, age, not being particularly good since about Round 8 last year

Great news, ESPN.Australia are doubling their NBA coverage next season, hopefully that also means less of crap sports like Golf and Curling :D

I'm excited
If they cut curling, I'll be pissed! That's all I watched in Canada. Great ******* sport!

I wish they'd up their baseball coverage. Not for my sake cause I pay for At Bat, just for more coverage is all!

Ross will never reinvent himself, therein lies the problem. TBH he got a long way on one trick, which says more about the direction of football in general the past 7-8 years

The thing.is,.the NBA is by a considerable margin the most.popular US sport in Australia (we have the most paid up NBA.com league pass subscribers outside the US/Canada region) and with Benny Simmons being another Aussie no 1 NBA Draft pick, it makes commercial sense to have more NBA games on ESPN. Hopefully they can introduce a third ESPN channel on Foxtel.

That's how it started, but Plugger's troll/melt was so unrelenting that over time he's clearly embedded himself and his club in the heads of numerous Freo flogs across this site.

Yeah, running that line might have worked if the comments from Saints supporters weren't all "suck it Ross" and "couldn't happen to a better bloke" etc.

The offended is not so much about Freo stealing Ross as it is about Ross dumping St Kilda.

PS, how did you get the bh word past the filter?
