Liked some of the things Neale said about the game.

Didn't try and talk in riddles. Called it for what it was....

Today was a step backwards but we will re-group pretty quickly, we’ve got a six-day break and we’ll take on Melbourne next week.”

Much prefer for them to say 'yeah that was crap' than try and talk a load of wank to appease.

What the F is Brad hardie's problem? Just read another weekly bash Freo and Ross article. No wonder Freo has all but told the (WA) media to F off. They are beyond disgraceful.
He says play the kids !!!!, is he blind !!!!.

Hardie is trying to put his boots into Lyon at any chance, but saying he needs to play the kids ……………..

Bradley "Bitter & Twisted" Hardie.

Langdon interviewing Hurn last night. He says West Coast have said they don't want to discuss the Liam Ryan incident so let's just move on. Would be nice if they afforded Freo the same courtesy at times.
Yes, Shane Yarran and Harley Bennell don't receive the same slack!

The key part is here:

"I think" , he's quoted saying it 4 times. Not even as fact, but his opinion / answer about questions regarding the club.

Gossage doesn't even have a brain to think with so I guess we can get back to breathing normally again, I think.

What is this bollocks?

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2018/07/03/fremantle-youngster-cerra-absolutely-gettable-gossage/

Trade out a 2017 top 5 draft pick to get back into the 2018 draft....

Is he full quid? Clearly hasn't thought about those statements, it makes no sense.
What a flog.

So we should give up some young emerging talent to try and pick up some... young and emerging talent.

I’m not against trading our 2019 first for a couple of picks in the 2nd round or a 2nd and 3rd or something like that.

But trading players for picks? What a knob.

Whilst I fully acknowledge there is a reasonable chance that Cerra wants to go home, there is **** all in there that confirms that.

I'm with you, that made ZERO sense. If we wanted bulk picks this year we could have just taken all those 2nd rounders from Gold Coast. Why would be so insistent on getting a top 5 pick to just give one away the next year? ****ing moron.

Gossage and Hardie have the same problem, namely they recognize that they will never rise above being C grade ambulance chasers.
Attempting to break these journalistic shackles ( and I use the word journalistic with more than a skip load of salt) they attempt to create an illusion that they have inside knowledge that no one else is privy to.
In reality they have the intellect of a sea sponge and as much credibility as Barry Urban’s military career. Oh and did I mention you won’t find a bigger pair of tossers...anywhere!

Excerpt from Gary Buckenara’s assessment of where we are at from an article that is on the Herald Sun web site. Only bit I disagree with is Lee Spurr coming back in. Aged 31, I’d expect one of the recent draftees will take his place.

FREMANTLE
Buckenara says: It’s been an interesting season so far for Fremantle and they’re probably around where I thought they’d be in terms of win-loss ratio. They are in a bit of a rebuilding phase, but coach Ross Lyon continues to mix youth with experience and isn’t just playing youngsters for the sake of it. They need to earn AFL games at the Dockers.

Fremantle has been really hard to beat at home but have struggled in away games, so that win over Carlton at Etihad Stadium, without Nat Fyfe and Aaron Sandilands, was massive although the loss to Brisbane last weekend was a step backwards. The injuries to Stephen and Bradley Hill has knocked them around a bit because they bring such speed and class to the midfield and actually, the Dockers have a really deep and damaging midfield when those guys are playing and combining with Fyfe and Neale and taking some of the load of youngsters like Andrew Brayshaw, Adam Cerra and Bailey Banfield. I like the defensive mix with Joel Hamling, who has really found his feet now in that team, Alex Pearce has been really good and Luke Ryan has stepped up, while Nathan Wilson provides great drive off halfback and when Lee Spurr comes back from injury he’ll add to that. It’s the forward line that has really struggled, again. McCarthy hasn’t delivered on his potential, Kersten is now being played in defence and Taberner showed some signs before getting injured but is he going to be a star? It’s the missing link. Lyon should play the kids he’s not sure about in the last part of the season to find out if they can play at the level.

Gossage is a complete moron. If you are on Twitter tell him so @timgossage until the coward blocks you.
Just read Gossage's twitter feed and earlier in the day he posted that he talked to Cerra's manager (after making his statements on SEN) and got the word that Cerra will be signing a 2 year deal.
