Congrats

Congrats Freo. Might have been close, but you guys deserved to win and your spot in the finals. Pavlich will rightly get the limelight, but your defence really held up when under pressure. All the best.

 

[kuepper]

Thanks, appreciated mate.

 

[Kenny_01]

Thanks Dingster... bad luck mate.

 

[Ripper]

Thanks Dingster, what a great game a draw would have been a just result but I am Rapped.. YAAAAHHHHHHOOOOO

That Harvey is class with a C.

It was a good hard game, played in the best spirit of the game.

Congrats to both sides.

Thanks Dingster,

Commiserations to the Roos, that was a game where both teams fully deserved to win and we were just good enough to be in front when the siren went.

Yes and no. For us to be up by four goals late in the third and probably with the run of play and our season on the line....you guys had to dig deep and it is a sign of real progress that you could do that and effectively snuff out a contender to get what you want. A finals possie and more respect.

I don`t think that people are giving you guys enough credit. Even if you lhad ost today, people had basically written you off for the other games. Who`s to say that you couldn`t knock off the Eagles in the derby game for example? A month ago I would have said no way, but you guys are playing better and Eagles have some injuries.

Your forward line still needs some work and your midfield should have been hurt more by a lack of accountability, but you are building a good side. If Connolly can get you guys playing with that passion on a more consistent basis, then anything`s possible. Good luck for the rest of the season.

Congrats Freo. It might be going against the etiquette on this board but I'll say it anyway - it was a very good win by you today and I have to admit it was a great game. Pity they spoiled it with the song in the changerooms

We're going to have to get some players back and get our act together before round 22. Promises to be a big one.

Only one word can describe that win.

heck!!!

Bloody good win.

 

[Slax]

Congrats Freo. The finals prize is now only a win against the Doggies away and you're guaranted September action.

Great win keep it going.

 

[Shinboners]

Congratulations to Freo on making their first finals series. Just too damn bloody good for us today - very impressed on how your boys didn't panic as time was running out.

Docker Brat, Kuepper, Ripper, Kenny etc....hope Freo get a home final and that they do you guys proud.

Best wishes for September.

Bell and Pav would have to rank among the best leadership combination in the competition. Time and again they prove their worth by standing up when it counts, and taking it up a notch when a game needs to be won.

Way to Go.....Freo

Smart footy by going straight down the guts when needed unlike North's clumsy backward gameplan Pffft !

A great backhand to the media who continually underate Freo...
Good Luck in September and hope you guys can repeat the result against the SMUG Bombers in a couple of weeks.

Many congratulations to all you Docker fans out there, especially those who've followed Freo through thin and thin.

A real character-filled win today against the odds at the home of football to win yourselves a deserved Finals berth.

Many congratulations from the old enemy!

Well done Dockers .

Didn't see the game but from all accounts it was a great effort coming from 4 goals down well into the 3rd quarter . Making the finals is a good achievement and once there anything can happen . Who knows you may come up against Port .

 

[Scal]

Great to see all these gracious comments from opposition supporters. Good work...

 

[Au_Blue#24]

That was a great game ! well done to your team. Pav was unstoppable. . He is truely a premier player. Wish we had him.

 

[Sera]

Yep, congrats on making the finals for the first time, it's been a long time coming so you guys must be really excited. Hope you get a home final at some point and a top 4 placing isn't out of the question. Good luck for the rest of the year (except round 22)

 

[Contra Mundum]

Yep got to give it to Freo - Pav towelled us in the last quarter.

It was funny at the game a group of Freo supporters kept saying "carn the bulldogs" - all the Victorians looked at them like they where on drugs - as a former Perth boy I knew exactly what they were talking about! Anyway congratulations on the win - we Roos are disappointed but we did'nt seal it when we could have.

 

[Juddyzthebest]
