it'll be interesting to see how freo go in 205. my hope is that they again fall short of winning the flag, and will again keep topping up.

Interesting enough, have had a sneaky wager on Freo to win '15 Flag.

A good run with injuries (particularly Walters), Fyfe continuing his growth into superstar of comp, should be there abouts.

no chance, you can give me your money if you like

pav already has one foot out the door. mcpharlin is like us re-drafting gehrig, he's cooked. sandi looks done. mundy is starting to get long in the tooth

and you know what, theyre still damn happy with them selves for just making a grand final

the biggest indication is that their peel side (WAFL affiliate) struggled last year. wce is a better chance

What odds will you offer me?

 

[Freomaniac]

Debuts dont really matter when its one game in two years

Neale and Sutcliffe both played 25 games each in 2 years before that 2013 grand final for freo. Not that it says much. Better than nothing

I have them maybe scraping into the time four, based on their home ground advantage during the home and away season.
So it's also possible for them to get a home final and scrape into the GF.
Make it to the GF and there is always a chance of fluking one, though Lyon doesn't have much form at fluking anything.

and your post right there highlights the problem.... neale shouldnt have played 25 games in two years. he should have played a full season in 2013. compare him to hill. hill played a full season in that grand final year in a side with much more depth and more competition for spots.

Freo very confident on getting rance

Colin Sylvia was worth the same compo pick as Nick Dal Santo..

Just laughable. Yes I know how the compo system works but still find it a ****en joke.

Lol Freo.

You'd be confident of getting the clap if you went into some pick-up joints, but that doesn't mean you should want it!

I think it's more of a reflection of the stupid amount of money Freo spent on him without proper due diligence.

How a "professional" of his experience doesn't feel the need to train when the writing was already on the wall is completely beyond me. Thank god we've been digging deep on all of our incoming players.

Lol Freo.

Freo will finish outside the top 4 this year, and likely the top 8 next year. This is the Saints all over again.

This will leave Lyon with a serious predicament. Does he jump ship again or try and ride it out waiting for them to come good? Ross won't sit through a full rebuild, he would likely get sacked before Freo become a contender again anyway. Yet jumping ship again as Freo slide down the ladder is a not a good look either. It is basically confirming "I am all about me". Not the kind of attitude that will appeal to a lot of clubs. Rightly or wrongly, Ross is know as the "almost guy". If he only had some blokes that could kick on GF day he could be a legend right now, instead he is right up against it in my opinion.

Combine that with the impact the more aggressive teams are having on the competition and he could end up looking like someone who is behind the times and unwilling to change.

If Freo don't get a flag and Ross looks to move again I can't see anyone who would be willing to hire him unless they are real desperate.

Think Lyon would get another gig in a couple years time. The pressure on failing clubs to revert to him would be too much.

Ross will do the dodgy on Freo and try to come back to us when our list is at a premium

Yep, I'm an expert at telling people not to do stupid stuff. I'm also an expert at not getting them to listen!

Wouldn't be the worst thing, he's a ripper coach

 

[St Kilda Death]

Freo will be top 4.

 

[Defacto]

Freo will be top 4.

And go out in straight sets again

 

[Persevering Saint]

Freo will be top 4.

Only when they get Rance.

Ah back to the 'RL has no premierships and plays no young players so he must be a bad coach' narrative.

He gets brought in specifically to win flags. He hasn't won any flags. That makes him ??? at his job.
