FWIW I think we had a really good year. It always seemed like this year would be our last chance for a long time but everything would have to go right. Of course it didn't. But can anyone honestly say that they could see the dockers go this far this year? I saw a lot of people predicting they'd drop as low as 10th, so we didn't do too bad.

But anyway, STATE of your depth, Fremantle.

Really? I didn't think he was that bad.

He was atrocious, continually turning it over. He really needs to put in a huge pre season and g e t back to 2013 levels!

yoong how's the haze in Singapore? depending on the result tomorrow and next week, I might be forced to move.

 

[Andy Brennan]

I'm not gonna say too much because I would blow a gasket. But we just can't keep doing the same things and expecting different results. Speed, skills, marking, KPP's. All vital areas in which we need to improve. With Pav and Mcpharlin likely gone we need to do it soon.

IMO we needed to do it 2 years ago

Why didn't we hire him for this game? -_-"

I'm sad about what seems the likelihood of Pav and Elvis retiring but I think in some ways they have to go for us to be stronger, because we can't take it for granted anymore that they will just show up and do their jobs. We need to recruit attacking players to make the most of our current midfield group, that's obvious. If we don't do something about that then we'll have another year of being thereabouts but not quite good enough. Pressure is on Bond and Lloyd.

I saw one of my teams win a premiership within the last two years.

Pity it wasn't Freo. And god knows when it will happen.

 

[mike91]

Idiots on social media saying 'Freo fans are disgusting flogs' or 'WA crowds are feral' are as idiotic as they get, they're basing this on two supporters doing stupid things? Two fans do dumb things, yep the whole fan base and even state are feral . Social media unfortunately gives everyone a voice, even drop kicks who can't calculate how many seconds is in a minute.

We need to rebuild our forward line with Fyfe as the key forward. Pav staying on for another year is not the answer.

I kow Fyfe wants to be a mid, but the team needs a key forward. We can throw are drafts picks in trying to trade for one, or we can move Fyfe there and use our draft picks on getting another quality mid or two to fill the mid spot. Fyfe can do it, it's a matter of convincing him to make the move for the team thing. We have some young guns like Weller and Blakley and co who can become decent mids for us. We have some young guns like Weller and Blakley and co who can become decent mids for us, we're not lacking mids.

Everything ****ing sucks.

 

[Grape Bear]

I've had my cry, but I don't feel better. In fact, I feel angry that I care so much about a fricking football team - or, as my hubby put it, a bunch of men kicking around a bag of wind over a patch of grass. I feel even angrier that the team I cried for is part of a corrupt league that I would like to spit upon and never give any more of my time and energy to ever again. How am I supposed to reconcile these two things?

I will go on to say that at this moment, while I know 14 other teams would have loved to be in our position, I have absolutely hated this year because we came so close only to fall short. I think I would've handled being out of the 8 better, knowing we were rebuilding for another tilt than being told all year we were just lucky to be where we were on the ladder. And what sort of league has media sycophants that does shit like that? Last week, Sydney should have won because they were gallant - this week, the Hawks eon because they were awesome and brave? **** that to hell and back, that makes me want to spit on AFL even more.

Yes, the Hawks were the better finishing team. Yes, my team shot itself in the foot. But **** it, despite the fact that the umps were giving my team NOTHING (after the AFL placed a known Hawk fanboy to adjudicate a prelim, talk about integrity) and paying Hawthorn everything (8 meter marks, for ****s sake, and so many gifted goals) and Fyfe playing on one ****ing leg, we were still in it to win it. This tells me that if there was any semblance of fairness in the umpiring, we could've won that ****ing game. More spitting. I spit on you, AFL.

As a supporter, as a minimum, I expect two things every time I watch a game:

1) that my team plays to the best of its ability.
2) that the ****ing league that my team plays in gives both teams that take the field a ****ing fair go.

First is my team's responsibility - and despite the appalling skill errors, I cannot fault the effort and the heart that went into that game. The second? ****ing AFL screwed it up, as it always does. How am I supposed to reconcile wanting to support a team and therefore supporting a competition in a league that I have zero respect for and do not trust to give my team a ****ing fair go? I spit on you some more, AFL. Spit until I'm out of spit, and then spit again once I've replenished it.

While I'm at it, I am infuriated by the fact that this screwing over from AFL house has been going on all ****ing year, and our administration are toeing the party line and copping it as part of the game. If supporters can see it, they sure as hell can see it themselves. Why the **** are they just letting our players hang out to dry? Cop the ****ing fine and ask the hard questions, protect your players, for ****s sake. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem - the FFC is part of the problem. Spit some more.

Okay, rant over. But I still don't feel better. And frankly I don't know if I can be as emotionally invested next year. I feel cheated. I wonder how the players feel. I don't know how they can get up for this shit each week knowing what they'll cop. So much heart... But unfortunately heart doesn't get it done versus the best teams who are also being dragged by the bootstraps by a corrupt league with an agenda.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Fyfe a shadow of himself.

I thought Fyfe was pretty good for you guys considering he was injured for pretty much the whole game, you guys need decent forwards to go further simple as that, Walters seems like the only decent one you guys have got atm. Should try to trade really hard for a couple this offseason.

 

[Marty Whitelaw]

You ever get the feeling the AFL HQ and the footy gods are against us?

The more I see the more I'm convinced the footy gods don't exist! Surely the likes of Mitchell and hodge would be punished for their sins.

 

[Marty Whitelaw]

End of a stressful season. First 8 weeks were awesome but it just became such heavy going after that and it felt like everyone was just waiting for us to fail.

I will be going to watch west Perth in action on Sunday in the wafl grand final. Will be a relief just to watch a game without the stress and sick feeling I had tonight.

 

[kranky al]

Fwiw - me and my mates felt like the umpires were all but blowing hawthorn in the first half

 

[Black Saab]

Would have been very close with fair umpiring but you can hardly complain about the final result when you hand over two goals from dropped marks during defensive setups.

It ended up being really close but the players shot themselves in the foot.

Given this is the everything sucks thread I'd throw in the absolute abhorrent nature of those two incidents involving fans on the fence. At no time in any game at this level is that behavior ever to be a part of going to the football. What was insane was that the people next to both sets of those jerks jumped right in as if it was some massive tribal thing of pride to get in on.

I don't think I've seen two incidents like it ever in the history of my watching football. I hope those guys get publicly shamed and receive bans.

 

[Dockernut]

Actually quite relieved that this dog of a season has finally been put down. ****ing disgraceful mediocrity by us.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

It just sucks to see the season end like this after the barnstorming start. I really thought we had it in us this year and I'm shattered. Most disappointed for the players especially Pavlich.

 

[leeloo]

I am going to avoid the media for the next week or so I reckon. I am already sick of hearing about the bad behaviour of our supporters, how Lyon will never win a premiership and how wonderful Hawforn are.

At this moment in time, I'm not sure I can even bear to watch the GF.

Why is life so unkind?

 

[noise36]

I think we over achieved this season... Form in the second half was very poor... If Sydney wasn't racked by injury we would have gone out in straight sets.

 

[purplerunsdeep]

Can we be honest with ourselves and realise our attack was never going to win us theGF? Because we score so little, those tiny little 1% errors are highlighted tenfold because they usually result in an opp goal
Just so f'n annoying so many inconsistent off seasons hadn't been able to get us the right support for pav.

 

[Grape Bear]

I've slept on it and I'm still angry. And I'm angry that I'm still angry.

I was avoiding all footy media last week. I'm spending this week listening to my iPod and watching YouTube cat videos. I hope the GF is a massive suck-fest. I think it's time to wean myself off this horrible league.
