You'll need to remind me of the incident...
yeah i'm coming up blank. he's been forever in my dog house because of some act he did, but I can now no longer recall the act. (it wasnt as bad as this one, but I've got it in my head that it was similar to this, just a little cheap shot during a loss)

Alex Rance not getting a holiday for his dog act on Robbie Gray in the EF last year just because he was lucky enough that Gray's head didn't hit the ground was a joke. That tackle had more unarguable intent to injure than the Gibbs tackle and the Schulz tackle put together.
im almost there

I've even got some of the picture in my head now! It was towards the end of the Port EF final, and he was just being a dick. think he got pinged for a free kick and 50 that day too. the crappy BF search makes it really hard to find posts from that day though. whatever. the point is he's done this trash before

remember in 2011 when St Kilda were on like 2 wins after R8, and then Dal Santo lit it up for the rest of the year and was second or third in the Brownlow and st kilda got knocked out in the elimination final? freo really need to avoid doing a 2016 version of that
Look at their fixture that year, they were always going to make finals.

Freo this year looks worse than that.

Forgot to mention earlier that Peter Wright was seriously impressive.

Would not change our two 204 picks but shit he will be a player and a perfect compliment for daniher
Absolutely - saw him in a couple NEAFL games last year, he is one serious unit. Led well to the ball as well, even if he wasn't quite pulling it all together at that stage.

Lots of talk about the Tigers and the Pies and theories as to why they are going like they are but it is pretty simple.
If you turn the ball over coming out of defense or in the middle then you get smashed going the other way and end up looking slow and chasing all
night/day. People are cheering the new run forward style of play right now but if you can not keep possession you are stuffed.
Fremantle are looking bad for the same reason at the moment, poor ball control.

I'm a bit surprised that people are surprised with how they are going I didn't have either of them improving on last year. There was so much talk about the pies kids and howe they recruited. But you can't bank on 18-21yos being 26yos when they aren't 26 (Zaharakis is a prime example of this. Won a B&F at 21 but is still looking for consistent good footy. Hopefully this is the year..) And the pies were always going to still struggle if they lost one of Swan or Pendlebury. Just as the tigers would struggle without Deledio or Cochin.
