I miss McPharlin equally as much!
If any foot soldiers go down, replace them with other foot soldiers.The biggest impediment to Freo playing finals this year is COVID 19.
We could easily lose a bunch of players over multiple weeks IMO.
Sadly, I think a COVID stretch is inevitable. The more wins we bank before this the better.
Don’t be nervous. Positivity spreads positivity.I get nervous reading this thread
Let's just try and get in the 8 first anything more is a bonus
Gumby! He promised so much...and....I miss Gumbleton

Its the style that’s done it for me. It seems most of the games have been on our terms. Its simply been our inability to make the most of our opportunities.Don't think we're top 4 material and wouldn't be surprised if start slipping down the ladder as the season progresses.
But...
The style is there, the game plan is there, the players are there. We're currently playing a brand of football that stacks up with best team in the competition. Our turnover and ball movement metrics are outstanding atm.
Again, I think we'll start to fade as we come across more seasoned sides closer to their flag window so the hype is a little premature. Regardless though, it's easy to forget that Freo is one youngest sides in the competition and we've blown away two teams who would've had top 4 aspirations of their own at the start of the season.
I've had my doubts over the past couple of seasons but it genuinely feels like we are really building towards something special once this group has another 50+ games of experience.
The virus rules are such a wildcard for us.We need 8 more wins from 17 games. Less than 50% return.
9 of the 17 remaining games are home games.
The odds say yes but the heart says maybe.
Vic bias without stepping back and seeing what happened to every other dynasty side ever that's not Geelong. They were never making the 8These top 8 predictions from the start of the season make for pretty interesting reason now (see link below).
Key points:
The biggest one for me is Richmond. I just don't see why everyone had them so high. They are not quite Freo 2016, but they were due to fall off and already showed it last year.
- Only 3 people (out of 10) predicted we would make finals with the highest placing us 7th
- EVERYONE predicted Richmond would make the top 8 with most of them placing Richmond around 4-5
- No-one put St Kilda in the Top 8
- Everyone had Port in the top 8
Crystal Ball: Our predictions for the 2022 AFL season are in
Premiership, Brownlow, recruit of the year. We make the callwww.afl.com.au
Reckon we can beat Brizzy at OptusNeed to win around 15 games to make top 4.
Realistically we'll be 10-3 at the bye (allowing for losses to Melbourne and Brisbane). So would need to win at least 5 of the last 9.
Possible but unlikely given we're a young team, and it'll be hard to maintain this form throughout the remainder of the season. Harder draw in the back end too.
we are a chance now
