Disappointment's for chumps. It's also obviously feelings based and objectivity-proof, so it's a safely vacuous thing for a pundit to pretend he's saying something meaningful about a team he couldn't give a stuff about.We should all be disappointed. We've lost four games to sides below us on the ladder, two of those were Carlton. Carlton! A third of their wins all year are against Freo.
There's been definite growth, but we've shot ourselves in the foot and are lucky to be in the eight, we should be two or three games clear of 9th.
We should be talking about a top six spot, a home final.
But we fluffed it.
My favourite commentatorIs it just me ?, but I thought that Del Santo provided some good analysis / comments during Saturday’s game.
Seemed to actually think, ........ before he talked.
Vastly offset by Healy. What a knob.Is it just me ?, but I thought that Del Santo provided some good analysis / comments during Saturday’s game.

90 seconds. Unreal. So FreoFreo were holding in there with the dogs at Optus until 3-4 of our players got injured in quick succesion.
Healy made the comments about Banfield when recruited was working on a roof in Albany. It was significant WTF moment. Rightly so a number of Freo supporters called him out saying our Banfield grew up in Broome and his parents own Willie Creek Pearls.Vastly offset by Healy. What a knob.
They have nfi and don’t bother to watch us or do any research. It’ll be hilarious when we win the next 3.Healy made the comments about Banfield when recruited was working on a roof in Albany.

Also heard earlier in the match on triple M commentary with Wayne Carey, James Brayshaw and Luke Darcy taking about Lobb and him supposedly being open to trade. Carey and Darcy made comments about him adding zero’s to his next contract and that he was out of contract and Freo would lose him for under value.
If NM get up tomorrow night, WCE fans are going to riot. I can hear the boos already. Hook it straight into my veins!
Wasn’t sure I could hate that mob any more but here we are.For those of you who are out of W.A, Simmo stated this week when he was questioned about their pathetic performance last week by a journo; ” Look people can judge us after the next round how good we are “
In other words judge us once we have Margetts, Dalgleish and HYL umpiring in front of our crowd at their booing best and playing against the bottom team.
The sanctimony of this prick is palpable.
Basil basically responded, “ yeah no worries Simmo thanks for joining us mate “...... FFS.

They were equally as shocked that Banfield hadn’t played this year. Went on and on about it. Took at least 10 minutes before one of them (NDS I think) bothered to check and realised he’d been injured.Healy is hard to take seriously when he sees a player get a couple of possessions he suddenly becomes an expert on him and where he fits in your team: "right now, this bloke is showing everyone he could be the missing piece" .
Howie was no better. Healy was waxing lyrical about some bloke called "Switzkowski", and Howie says "he couldn't get a game last year".
I was listening to ABC wireless & they were more interested in a song (Imagine) that Sellers McClure sang in the 70’s for a VFL album. They constantly spoke about it whilst play was going on & then read out texts from listeners about it whilst play was going on.Healy made the comments about Banfield when recruited was working on a roof in Albany.

Yep. I'd love for someone to ask King who he thinks he's performed better this season Essendon or Freo. If he plonks for Bombers ask who he thinks they've beaten.I just watched First Crack and King doesn't even attempt to be objective. It's palpable how stubborn and personal it is for him, he actually scoffs and makes a remark at how long they just spent talking about us. Kudos to Montagna for holding him accountable.
Yes agree, apart from him playing at another club, and especially one in Victoria, is a positive impact for me. Different experience and systems. And the journey he went through at Collingwood is something to draw from.Jeez. Not sure anyone thought if was heatbreaking when he left tbh.
Chris Mayne was a slightly above average player at best. At worst he was a slightly below average player. That’s what he was in his last two years at Freo tbh. To get a second rounder for him was daylight robbery, as was getting Brad Hill for that selection, as was what we got for Brad Hill.
Him leaving the club was a positive. That doesn’t however have any impact whatsoever on how he’d perform as an Assistant Coach imo. I can’t really comment on how he’d go as an Assistant Coach tbh.
If Longmuir and/or the club reckons he’d make a good Assistant Coach I’d welcome him back. I do not pretend I’m better placed than the club to make that call though.
If he does come back it will be as a development coach at first. So it won't have a huge impact. I doubt they'd make him a line coach straight up.Jeez. Not sure anyone thought if was heatbreaking when he left tbh.

It’ll be a shock to the system if we make the finals, considering how many ‘experts’ have no ******* idea about our team.
When commentators used to travel the country Healy always seemed to come to Perth for Fox and he knew both WA teams well. The new trend of calling from a studio in Melbourne is impacting both the quality of the commentary as well as educating Melbourne-based journalists of interstate side.Honestly don't mind Healy. Yeah he gets a bit wrong now and again but at least he talks about us and is often positive. All other comentators seem shocked we exist. Also i remember a few weeks ago on 'on the couch' they were talking about darcy before he re-signed and Brown made a comment about him going to Geelong and Healy basically told him to stfu. So yeah always got time for him.
My Goodness, just turned off the purple reign podcast for the first time ever. They spent so long laying into Acres and Aish I couldn't listen anymore, talking about situations like Aish kicking it out on the full that never even happened? So dissapointed. Yeah I get they're not the most popular guys on the list, but to defame them for situations that never even happened is so so crappy
Some of the Young Buck ones are legit funny and a great listen. Would recommendEvery Freo podcast is sh*t. Dunno why you bother.
