They may be perennial losers but they have brought a new dimension to WA footy. To bring success they need three changes

1) Their name. Sounds like something belonging to the Trade union movement. Maybe Fremantle Mariners.

2) Get rid of that stupid anchor.

3) a top coach
 
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

So little time

Hey 2PAC how's life treating you?

Just wondering
Who do you two go for 2PAC and Rushy?
Hey Rushy maybe next time you talk out your ass, you should register.
I know Frodo goes for the eagles cause he has already had a winge about the beating they coped.
Frodo is just bitter that his team, have a chance of earning their first spoon.

O yeah and in relation to your "changes"

1.Yes it sounds like a trade union, cause its part fremantles history.And Mariners had already been registered that is why we didn't think aobut using that nor the Pirates.Plus were not known as the Dockers anymore, its now just fremantle.

2.Im not even going to go into why we use the anchor.

3.Drum is a top coach,he did great things with an young list, plus the only reason waterhouse is still at the club is because of him, he also brought over cook.You remeber cook, he dropped your ex only marking forward.

O and yeah in relation to our little bet.Your what self employed/un employed/ashamed of your job and i am a student so how does 20 dollars sound.

Eheheheh im going to cleans up
Rooboy will owe me 40 dollars at the end of the season and you will owe me 20.


Ahh now i feel better!!!
 
Of course they should be in the comp. What a ridiculous statement. Just remember that St Kilda, North Melbourne, Hawthorn, Footscray and Brisbane all took a while to be successful when they entered the competition. Fremantle are about to enter their seventh year in the comp. and will probably taste success (finals) much more quickly than any of those teams ever did.
 
Freo are grouse. Leave 'em alone!

I think that Rushy is our resident pest popping up again?

Frodo, they may be perennial losers, but they did finish above West Coast last season. I also think that Freo are on the rise and are waving at West Coast as they slide down!

This is a hallucination and these faces are in a dream. A computer generated environment; a fantasy island you can do anything and not have to face the consequences.
 
I dont even know why I'm bothering to repond to Rushy's post, but I'm either predicting Rushy is a Victorian wanting to push out a non-Victorian side so he can possibly save his side from merging/doing bankrupt or an Eagles support who's unfortunately embarressing us!

Leave Freo in the competition, and where does the beach come into all of this?
 
Freo came into the afl as a replacement to fitzroy i think to make up the numbers!

Freo have all the things to be an afl side. The only thing against Freo is the crowd figures they are not getting many ppl to games at subiaco oval over there compared to the eagles.

OF COURSE Freo should be in the comp!!!!!!!! They are one of the most inoffensive clubs in the league (unless you're an Eagles fan I suppose, LOL) and no one rates them anyway (which I think is silly, they WILL make the finals and sooner than most people think) so what does it matter.

All those sides you mentioned, execpt for Brisbane, didn't have any priorty draft pics or a salary cap system at the time to get them through the early years.

That's why Fremantle will probably be more succesfull then most other sides "expansion" sides were in the first 20 years of there tenure in the competition.

GoEagles, another insult line eh. Maybe a person with a hang up needs to look in the mirror and find the embarrassment in front of his eyes.
Sabre, I just lost $5K on Atitagain by less than a nose. 20 weenies are kiddies tips.
 
I don't have anything against Fremantle at all, but I do find it interesting that they entered the competition as soon as they did.
From what I've read the AFL has always seemed adamant about adding second sides from both Queensland and NSW; if anything I figured they'd be much higher on the list than a second West Australian side.

Not that it matters much. I have a soft spot for the Dockers cause they were part of the first AFL match I ever saw in person.

Comon you can twist that any way you like.
Those sides bar brisban didn't come into the Afl.The competition wasn't as competitive or as hard.Nor did they have the problems of enticing talent to there club.They weren't faced with isolation.

Nor did they come into the competion in the shadow of another powerful club from the same state.Fremantle was forced to draft local after many high profile playerf refused to come west.Some draft picks opted to sit out the draft than go to the dockers.

That is one of the main reason why fremantle could never be compared with the eagles in the first 10 years.West Coast joined the competion, with the ability to pick up any player from the WAFL that at the time was briming with talent.Not only raw talent but established players that could imediately take the next step.By the time fremantle came along, the pond was empty.This along with poor management stuffed freo up for the first 5 years.

There are plenty of other reason, they were a newly formed club.They didn't merely take the next step, the had to start everything from scratch

The list goes on
 
Of course they should be in the comp. It is exactly the same as saying
"Should Richmond be in the comp?"
"Should Essendon be in the comp?"
Blah blah blah

sabre_ac,

I know what you are saying, however I was not comparing the dockers to the eagles.

My post that you quoted was directed at something at Roylion said. He posted that(paraphrasing) "Fremantle would be playing finals football much earlier than clubs that came in the former VFL in 1925.

I basically agreed with him and stated that this would happen primarily because there are equalisation policy's in effect these days, such as salary cap, draft pics, etc, that were not there in 1925 when new sides came into the comp.

So those policy's that we have today would help Fremantle make the finals earlier than clubs such as Hawthorn and North Melbourne when they came into the league.

So you probably misunderstood in what I'd posted earlier.

No i understood what you said.I just explained why the dockers upon entering the competition in 95 (i think, mental blank)didn't have it any easier than previous sides.

I didn't mean you were comparing the dockers to the eagles, I merely used that as an example.You see over here in the west, even after we defeated the eagles and finished ahead of them on the ladder, their supporters still stick by there "by the time we were in the comp for 5 years we had won a premireship" argument.I merely said why the dockers seemed to be under achieving.
 
ARE YOU INSANE!!??!
Of course Freo should be in the comp! They have some of the most talented young players around. They will kick some butt for sure in the comming seasons....what i would give to have Haselby, Pavlich, The longmuir's, Shippy and Heath Black in my team!!

Sabre... you fool... have you upped the anti... my understanding of our bet was $10 fot the North/WCE match and $10 for the North/Freo... I am quite happy too raise it to $20 a game but surely yoy should ask me first... so lets confirm the bet... for the second time... what you say...

PS are you studying commerce by any chance???

and you will be paying... not your parents I hope...
