In the fire of finals some players melt and some are tempered. We need to lose the melters like Freddy and Drizz

how, when eagles and dockers fans are rusted on always show up?! they know the money will keep flowing from here regardless of how both teams are doing,

That's true.

The thing is that most Fremantle fans won't watch in the next rebuild.

West Coast list is in a horrible state, and their fans don't have the patience as we do. They are a long way off finals and Eagles will turn off.

Well we might wanted to have showed up in the first 3 quarters next time, we had too few working hard in the first 3.

oh absolutely but also can’t discount
the 5 early frees that gave gold coast time to settle and quiet the crowd.

our starts have always been an issue.
 
So many just small moments that last 3 minutes. Treacy back was correct, hes won us a couple games thisnyear with saving marks. He slept for 1 second not reading the ball had been kicked and he was done.

Cox is nothing but unlucky, impossible to know Swallow had dropped it. Gets called 50/50.

Bolton tackled gets called 25% of the time, its closer to a free kick than that horseshit Voss got called.

Playing the clock was what every single team in the AFL does. Inexcusable for Uwland of all players to mark it.

The bottom 6 just ****ing murdered us. At least that can be an easier fix than your top few. Some Suns also had the game of their lives in Davies and Humphrey's. Rowell was incredible.

I want to be angry but just numb. Gold Coast where fantastic, the boys showed amazing grit just a couple of 50/50 moments down the stretch. I dont have anything to be mad about except supporting Freo.

It wasn't sloppy. He tackled Swallow with the ball, he can't see that he dropped it.

yep, same thing happened in the Port GC match. Late in the game a Port player tackled a GC player in the GC forward 50. Ball came out in the tackle, and the tackle lingered. Play on. Razor Ray on AFL 360 said it was the right decision.

I come in peace - commiserations, great game and i hope you keep Longmuir. I think he can get something done with this group

Thanks for that, I wish West Coast supports be kind as you,

I live in Melbourne thank God but the Docker fans in WA will serve up shitting pies from Eagles fans.
 
It hurts now, but we'll be better for it next season. 3rd-4th youngest team, next season bigger & hungrier.

This year was the evolution of 2023, we're closing out games consistently strong. Feels like 2012-15 since I've felt this confident in Freo with close games.

I don’t believe we would have gone further than a win tonight, I’m just sad about how many predicted the AFL would be pushing for a QLD derby. I just can’t understand their fixation with entertaining a market that will never be as passionate as us

Why is it always Stevic involved in games where we get shafted?

AFL house’s little concubine to make sure the game stays on script. absolute ****ing campaigner.

He should be investigated. When Reid was smashed in that marking contest, Stevic was standing 10m away with a perfect view and was furiously waving play on. Needed the umpire down the field to overrule him. Absolutely corrupt.
 
That last passage of play that lead to the GC goal was pissweak. Easy mark for noble on the wing, then the Andrew mark was just as easy, not good enough at the end of a tight game.
 
The goal assist stat is very interesting that game.

10 Freo goal assists for 12 goals total
5 Suns goal assists for 11 goals total

More than half of the Suns goals didn't have a possession before the goal. Amazing.

Hoping Simpson > Banfield out back; another good ball user would be really handy in the defence and that’s one potential way to improve the bottom 6.

Still think NOD has potential to be a player if he can get just one good uninjured run at it; definitely had times where he was putting his body on the line that game (the bits I watched after waking up… working nights!). Reckon the injuries and interruptions have robbed him of the ability to burst through a pack with pace that he’s shown in healthy seasons (a while ago tho)
