The thread on the Freo board comparing Naitanui to Kepler Bradley didn't age well :p

Don't worry - their are still plenty who didn't think he did much last night

Aside from ripping them a new a-hole in the ruck and kickstarting numerous goals - he didn't do much.

I’ve got an 8 year old freo supporter at home who went to bed bitterly disappointed with what happened last night. Despite our best efforts the boy remains devoted the the violet crumble and as exhilarating as it was for us blue n gold bleeders, he went to bed heartbroken for the umpteenth time in his few years of following football.

My question is: what the * is happening with freo? Seriously, what are they even doing? Is it because they’re so obsessed with their borrowed “history” and culture they’re forgetting about premierships? I don’t know. I keep telling my boy it’s just a game but when he sees us celebrating week in week out and here is his team who are just so disappointing. Believe me, if I could get him to come to our side it would have happened but he has posters of Walters, Pav, and Fyfe plastering his bedroom walls.

FFS I can’t believe that even I am having a rant about the Purple Hearts lack of success!

Good on him for staying loyal, it must be hard when you follow that rabble especially at that age.

Only 8? Trade them in and start again.

How does an 8 year old have a poster of Pav? He would have been 5 when he retired? Sounds to me like someone is enabling the lad.......

Just sit the boy down and say "Son. I know you love Fremantle. But it's important to know that the Dockers are a lot like life - you look to the future and see a potential glimmer of hope and light, but then you get there and its nothing but utter, crushing failure. The lesson is: never try".

And then do a floss at him.

Bigger question is how has this been allowed to happen under your watch?

The freo faithful wear the losses like a badge. They think it reflects their own lives. They say it’s the underdog spirit that will enable them to one day rise from the ashes.

I say it’s been 50 something years since st Kilda won a premiership, so buckle in for a long ride because freo are way behind them.

His great grandfather bought into all the “culture and history” hoopla and was a passionate purple. Pav was his favourite of all time until he passed away 2 years ago. The youngest carried it on.

What is the best result between GWS and Brisbane? GWS have the higher percentage that we will not be able to make up (comapred to Brisbane) but they also have a harder run home than Brisbane imo.
Yeah thats what I was thinking. Maybe a GWS win is better for us.

Just turned the Melbourne game on, looks like they are flat out trying to injure Carlton players in every contest.
