Shackles are truly off now after that result..

Freo are shit

Dead rubbers? Gold Coast maybe, but now that Fremantle has lost to Norf I want to bury them by 100+ and make sure they never win a premiership. Ever.

Of course we want to win, but deal with the reality that there is absolutely nothing on the match, the difference between 10th or 11th, woah. nothing for us, nothing for them. Unlike the Hawks game where they were playing for potentially a home prelim, that was a real hit out. These last 2 games won't be.

Hope this means the Cows will miss the finals, now gotta hope the Eagles win next week & the Cats win their last two...

 

[PatientMental]

You get what you deserve.

 

[PowerBaz]

No stress people, next year is where Kenny is focussed. I remember West Coast had a crap year last year when they were premiership favorites and last year they finished strongly, we will respond next year. This year will be one out of the box I reckon, maybe west coast or Bulldogs, can't see crows doing it. Maybe Ross Lion to Crows is on the cards if Freo fail? Surely his time is done if Freo can't get up this yr, old list.

 

[raman]

Nothing to be gained. Trying to win of course but you learn when the pressure is on, the time for giving palmer and the rest a go was a month or two ago.

LOL the club was not thinking of finals a month or two ago.

David Moyes is more of a chance.

Aaaarrggghhh just saw a we fly as one ad before the Carlton v Melb blockbuster on 7. My eyes they burn!

Sorry typo I ment Millhouse.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Ahh well t'would be funny if Richmond beat the Karpark dwellers week 1

Who cares about the crows? Good luck to them. If your good enough to play finals you deserve your crack. We weren't, simple as that.

 

[240volt]

So if Norf win thus mathematically ending our season, do we focus on playing guys like Moore, young, Amon and Palmer?

We have seen enough of Moore, giving Palmer a go wouldn't hurt

Freo jeez that cupboard is bound to stay bare

No difference? Hawthorn, Sydney and West Coast have piss easy games to tune up for finals with. All at home. We can effectively derail Fremantle's entire premiership push by smashing the shit out of them and roughing them up for Sydney when they go over to Subiaco.

That's something for US to play for. **** Fremantle.

What's that got to do with picking players them, I along with a few others wanted palmer in back then. go back at any time over history, teams that are out of it will just go through the motions. These last two rounds will be pressure free, bruise free nothing games. Like dead rubbers always are.

For a long time too.

Again, my point was that we've been playing "dead rubbers" half the year. Next two weeks are no different.

 

[DazzaTys]

Pointless, hit and giggle matches, dead rubbers mean nothing, no pressure, just 44 blokes going through the motions not trying to get hurt. You learn nothing from these games.

Agree but it gives a guy like Palmer a perfect insight into how guys like Gray and Boak prep for the top level.

 

[BornPort]

Straight sets for Freo two years in a row. Who will Ross move to next?

Fremantle will destroy Melbourne at home next week and bring over their reserves side, they have nothing to play for. we will win that game by a minimum of 80 points, in fact I think it will be out biggest ever win. Bruise free dickers that game, that's a certainty.

This..

Peoples obsession of this lot is bordering an illness

Yeah but the season was still alive fir all concerned.

shit attitude, it won't be bruise free from our boys & i don't give a shit about the opposition

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Collingwood on a 5 year $5m contract.

 

[tribey]

North's last 7 games

GWS away - W
GCS away - W
Geelong home - W
Essendon home - W
Brisbane away - W
Carlton away - W
Melbourne away - W
St Kilda home - W
Freo home - W

They lost a Prelim last year as well, right?

 

[1954]

No point in crying over spilt milk, and as Kenny has said many times ` we will get what we deserve, ' and we did, those insipid efforts against the blue baggers and brisvegas f***** our season.

Oh well, onwards and upwards in 2016.

 

[raman]

It really wasn't. It was still alive for fans who like the ladder predictor and fanciful results. If it was alive for the PAFC footy department, Trengove wouldn't have had surgery yet.
