Opinion Freo finals campaign

[Special Agent Utah]

We are supposed to hate them just because they exist?
I hate them because I hate half their list. Ballantyne, Crowley, Pavlich, Mayne, Pearce, Walters among others are players that I couldn't bear to see with a Premiership medal around their necks.

How bad was Pearce yesterday, again proved he is such a weak link when the heat is on, missed targets and is soft as they come..

They were all spraying it yesterday. Amazed they were so close in spite of how they used the footy

 

[Public Enemy No1]

Player for player the worst team to ever play in a GF. Talentless hacks got shown up on the big stage.

Got to the GF based on a defensive game plan that's hard to counter and a soft draw.

Was told last night that Freo are more successful than the eagles because we have lost 2 grand finals.Freo logic at its finest.

they had a few?

 

[Ted38]

No they had it exactly as he said. They had the best draw all year and cruised into the GF. Tell me who they beat of any significance in the H&A season? Away from home?

Hawks missed just as many shots on goal so by that logic Hawks should have won by 10 goals right?
Unforced errors are about skill execution. They clearly need to work on that to be a great side.
The only credit they are due is they played in the GF for the first time.

**** me this Freo love is infecting others. We are supposed to hate Fremantle because they are our cross town rivals and they hate us with a passion.

Since when were Clubs responsible for the draw?
You and squashface should get a room.

They beat Geelong (in Geelong) and Sydney to make the GF. I'd say that's fairly well deserved.

The Geelong win was super impressive, Sydney not so much. They were gone even before the match.

I tend to agree, but we are talking about the teams that finished 2nd and 4th. Freo were certainly part of that top echelon his year, as much as it pains me to say it.

 

[Doughboy]

Sydney allowed freo to play the way they wanted to and didn't dictate terms.

The Hawks didn't allow Freo to play like Freo and they fell to bits.

Hakws should write an open letter to the rest of the comp:

Dear Everyone (except Freo)
This is an open letter to the remainder AFL teams on how to beat Freo.

Play their shitty defensive scrappy type play. You will win

Ross has one page in the play book and this is it.

0-4. That is all

Best Regards
The Hawks

[Eaglemaniac]

Freo deserved their spot in the GF. You can only play the opponent the draw puts in front of you each week, and the win against Geelong at Skilled was a big win in the scheme of things. Even yesterday they could of won the game if they had kicked straight, so they did well. I dont think we need to deride their achievements this year as it doesnt help our team get better. We just need to sort the football side of our club out and get back to being a club that demands and produces success on the field (legitimately). There is not better form of revenge than to be successful.

I watched the game in an expat bar in Osaka, most of the bar were in purple.So it was dead quiet in the end, and the bar was emptier come the final siren. Bandwagoners!

Wasn't the Coolabah, was it? That's where I watched the game in Osaka, and it was packed. I sat at the bar cheering every Hawks goal, and boy did I get some death glares from the Freo supporters. It was pretty funny how they shuffled out en masse when the siren blew.

To all those who love Fyfe (and I am a big fan myself) remember this:

Of the 90 players to have 250+ kicks this year, Nat Fyfe's kick retention of 46% was the worst. Tracked at only 23% in the GF.

Damning stat and (mostly Freo) people that think he is superstar when his kicking is the worst in the league are deluded. Some of my Freo supporting friends think he should have won the Norm Smith yesterday kicking at 23%?

Freo appeared for 10 minutes at family day on balcony of corporate box. No autographs for the couple thousand that are here.

Thats pretty poor if you ask me. If that was WCE I would be pretty upset with this. Yes they lost, but geez, give something to the fans on the team family day

Hahaha showing their true faces now. Rotten of them not to engage with the crowd.

Meant to go for 3 hours. Only showed up for 10 minutes. Just giving the fans a repeat performance of yesterday.

Anyone know where I can get a drink in Freo? Went to a few pubs but they didn't have any cups.

It was! We're you the bloke at the bar chowing down on a meal at the start of the game? I was the one with the 2006 WC guernsey on, not sure why but thought it would be fun to do if there were any Dockers fans about. At least one person in that bar was wearing a premiership jumper in the end!

Haha that Internet fail, made us miss the first 5 minutes of the last. The Freo fans were pumped up at 3/4 time, but Hawks had kicked away before they got the picture back up. Was much quieter after that.

Yep, that was me chowing down on the meat pie, and I remember seeing you there. Good call on the WC guernsey too, I wish I'd done the same.

I'm calling it, Derby GF next year! And we'll win too!

West Coast did the same thing when they came to Subi the Sunday after the GF in 2005. Players and staff looking dejected, and IIRC they didn't stay for long.
