I may cop it for this however,

I AM FU*KING SICK OF FREMANTLE'S CONSISTANT FAILIRES

West Coast were the perfect model to base a football club apon. Rich + succesful.

Instead these idiots have too much pride to play this game properly.

I am going to support the current ladder leaders and premiership favorites untill the blind connolly loses his job and someone with guts takes over.

I am going to study the way you play and operate and work out why you are just that little bit more succesful. I think fremantle are only 5 - 10 % away.

A bandwagon rider you are, a bandwagon rider you shall always be. I suppose your favourite team was the Saints last year, brisbane before the GF, and Port after?

It takes a strong personality to support a losing team. Yes they aren't successful, yes they have had a bad start to the season. But it is only round 4. There are 18 rounds left and anything can happen. If they don't win another game this year. Next year will come. That is the only certainty in football.

I'd love a chance to sit down with the coach and pick his brain. Make a few suggestions, play a forward line with 3 talls. Leave Murphy at FF for 1/2 a game and Johnson for the other half. Drop Sandilands, let Longmuir ruck 80% of a game, and Johnson the rest. Try farmer on the ball for a 1/4 (started on the ball against Richmond).

Drop the players who's disposal is poor. If you can't kick 40m, don't play em. Ie bye bye Macca and Cook. Hello Dunn and Mundy. If we play Bell, Schammer, Cook, Macca around the middle no wonder our midfield is getting smashed. Thier kicks can't penetrate the 50m. Cause they can't kick that far. Schammer and Bell are class, persist with them, but we can't carry 4 handballers in the team.

Who the hell is organising/educating the players about diet and weights regime? Why isn't JLo huge? WHy isn't Polak huge? Why is Medhurst so huge? Why did Peter Bell shake Snake Simmonds hand after the game and smile? Would Voss do this? Who out of our team has the killer instinct? WHy aren't our 100kg players shepherding at full pace? Why doesn't Pavlich run from CHF at full steam and smash a midfielder a couple times a quarter?

If I have this many questions of the coach. Im sure thirty thousand other supporters have just as many questions. But you have to sit back and realise that all your questions are not going to be answered.

You just have to hope that the coaching panel has the brains to ask these questions on thier own. And i think they do. But its not only them, the players should be asking the questions of themselves. Its hard enough to coach an AFL football team. CC shouldn't have to father 38 players. Its time the players took responsiblity for the clubs success. Because its the players inevitably that kick the goals and win the games.

So lay off CC's back. Stop trying to lay the blame, the recipe for success is desire. Have you got the passion !!!???

Really, it comes down to having a better list.

And a MUCH better coach.

I don't think Fremantle have been doing overly bad.

Rnd 1: Good win against PA
Rnd 2: 1 point lose to St Kilda
Rnd 3: Leading through 3 quarters against WCE
Rnd 4: At the MCG, I think they lost confidence through the other 2 games, which didn't help in this match.

Their first 3 rounds were quality sides, the reigning premiers and two premier favourites.

I know a win is a win, and a lose is a lose, but you can't write them off just yet. This is coming from an Eagles supporter as well :)

Yes you can.

Rd 1 Good game against a struggling Port side who were thrashed by Adelaide
Rd 2 Choked
Rd 3 Choked and looked dismal
Rd 4 Were appalling

Their coach is a loser, he sounds like a WCE supporter at times.
Their team obviously is not a 'team' and has personality problems
They have no decent ruckman and have lost Polak

They are 1-3. To get a home final means winning all 9 home games left and another 5 away. Look at their fixtures.

Yep, I'm writing them off

Finishing down the bottom of the ladder is not so bad.... Early drafts are good.

Except that they will be traded of course:

McPhee
Clement
Bell (Opps, they traded heaven and earth to get him back again)
Browne
Croad (I wonder why he's doing so well at hawthorn now).

Well, fairs fair, McPhee wasn't on the roids like he is now. And he still doesn't have any guts. And Croad still stinks, theres plenty of good backman out there not earning 500k a year.

yes, its one thing to boycott your current club, its another to jump on an oppositions bandwagon

Is losing in your nature?

I hate losing and 10 years is too long without a sniff of success.

The club is going backwards again.

I am still a Fremantle supporter, but i refuse to attend a game, watch a game on TV, Listen on the radio untill my team becomes a success.

I will feel the winning feeling with WC. I even have a membership already. Now i will cheer with all the handlebar moustaches at the games.
