Nic Nat would have inspired his team from the couch at home. The criticism of Fyfey was justified.

 

[DragoDelph]

jono brown said fyfe was average round 3 against Carlton

That was the one. Man, my short term memory is ****ed..

 

[Docker82]

Dunstall is actually OK. He has an opinion on our team, tends to watch most of our games so he knows the majority of our players which is more than you can say for people like Healy who don't know our team very well at all.

Agree on Dunstall.

Dwayne Russell and Gerard Healy are enough that I’d turn any non Freo game off before it starts. If any one of us were as sh**e at our jobs as they are we’d be sacked within weeks.

Andy

Surely that's Angus?

 

[Shaymuhz]

I think the root cause is that he's just not that good (like most of them). I don't think he is any more inept at knowing us than say the Pies.

You frequently hear an expert say something stupid. My favourite is when they talk about "outside class" but try and apply it to players like Langdon or Tom Phillips.

How many of them still talk but Billy's kicking as if he was Pendlebury when with us or the Hawks? I swear it's like they don't watch football.

Langdon's kicking has actually improved out of sight this year since they got Mark Williams in to help...

Can't believe people have missed the Dwayne-ism "kicks it to where he'd pefer to be" whenever a tall forward kicks long to a pack.

I watch “On the Coach” every week, if it wasn’t for Healy we wouldn’t get a mention.

 

[toenail11]

Healy is 100% the most unbearable.
Yeah he doesn’t hate us but who cares, his knowledge is next level bad. For the past 2 seasons every game he just says the same lines over and over about how Mundy is a great kick and Cox is a great young player.
Also harps on about tabs “not being a great contested mark” when it literally is his biggest strength.
Is a fossil

Looks like the coaches were split on Luke Ryan vs Mundy

Drafting Vic metro with long term Vic metro girlfriends is not a massive risk? If Mundy & pav had girlfriends wanting to go home instead of girls wanting them to stay in Perth things would have been different.
Pav would have finished at Adelaide.
Mundy at Richmond.
I love our Vic metro players but it costs more to keep them pushing out opurtunity to pay other players.
Sumich is a troll but there is an element of truth in what he says.

It doesn’t always follow this formula.

Brad Hill - Perth boy coming home, Melb gf happy to follow, she gets homesick and he heads back to Vic.
Lachie Neale - SA boy, WA wife, ends up in Qld.
Cerra and Brayshaw were both 17 when they arrived here - an age where it’s fair to expect a relationship isn’t, and won’t be, long term.
Chris Mayne, WA boy, WA gf goes to Melbourne;
Hayden Crozier Vic boy, WA gf, goes to Melb.
Matt de Boer - WA boy, WA gf, ends up in Sydney.
Ed Langdon - comes out mid-season saying he wants to be a one club player, gets the dirty done on him by a team mate, and is on the first plane out.
So many variables - home state, state of partner, homesickness, contract length, contract money, likelihood of success, (occasionally) loyalty, where you can get a game...

But I agree - get those interstate fellas nice WA partners and they’re much more likely to hang around.

Mundy is 101 to 1 to win the Brownlow at sportsbet.
Was 500 to 1

Mundy equal second in coaches votes. You love to see it

Are Langdon and Blakely Eskimo bros?

.”3rd Greatest Docker of all time”

Healy definitely has a soft spot for us. He loves to praise our youth - and is a huge fan of Cox.

All this talk of Dwayne Russell and other hack broadcasters and commentators.

My word I miss Clinton Grybas. He would lift the standard of commentary and journalism of everyone that worked with him, making Fox Footy a better production. Nowadays it’s just all about the laughs.

Terrific site, hope they continue to get some notice

 

[BigAlpha3]

Unless I missed something. ‘On the couch’ tonight mentioned us once and of course Gerard Healy was the man to give us a bit of a mention, he definitely has a soft spot for freo and it’s not a coincidence that he is commentating most of our games.

Don’t mind him

That 100m race amongst the Fox team was a joke, but Riewoldt still looks as fit as when he was playing. I reckon he would still be St Kilda's best player if he laced the boots up and made a comeback.
