Yes you can see correctly: Freo are 3rd!

[konstas_87]

What a turnaround!
In what? a month of footy, Freo have dropped Medhurst, thrown Mcpharlin in defense, thrown Murphy to full forward and started going in direct.
Now not only will they make the finals, if Kangas knock over the dees tomorrow Freo will be a game clear on 3rd!
Even if the dees get up freo will be in the top 4, and it sets up for a HUUUGE derby next week.
I was a freo basher as much as anyone else to be honest, but you have to admit, they are playing some exciting footy atm and look set to storm into a prelim, especially with St. Kilda, Melbourne, Collingwood in 'shakey' form.

 

[scottywiper]

Well done to Freo.
An amazing turnaround given the indifference of the players to the coach.
Great for their supporters, they deserve it.

 

[Portia]

Most importantly, Freo have figured out that Pavlich providing a clear forward target is more important than whatever additional stats he could garner by running around everywhere like a maniac.

 

[Lions_Master]

Yes it is amazing, Freo after forever has finally done something great in footy. They have made it to 3rd. Great to see different teams get to the top. Next week with West Coast will be big and I think they can push them over.

 

[Portia]

They'll still lose to Port in round 22 though.

 

[konstas_87]

They'll still lose to Port in round 22 though.

you can only hope

actually port have knocked over some pretty fair sides this year.

 

[shaz63]

They'll still lose to Port in round 22 though.

We can only but hope but playing at Subi will be a tough job for the boys.

Cant believe that Freo are actually third at the moment. Melbourne to win tomorrow and send Freo back to fourth.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

man both of the western australian teams in the top 4 yet alone all interstate top 4 (atm) and to think these 4 teams were in the bottom 8 in 2000. what a turn around.

 

[Biggie]

Playing the best football ever by a Dockers outfit and about time too.

Congrats to the members who stuck it through to see this day.

See you next week.

 

[Lions_Master]

Now Geelong fans can finally shut up. "No guys, you won't be going to the finals!"

 

[kimirocks]

Two ripsnorters next week looks like. I actually hope I don't have to watch it (WCE vs Freo), means Adelaide have won Will have to watch the replay on Monday or whenever. A big round of footy coming up.

 

[Grimreepah]

A lot of teams close behind with far better percentage. A loss to West Coast could see them slip to 7th. Will probably have to win their last 2 games to get a top 4 spot. But well done to them. They're playing some good footy and I hope they do well.

Hmm, yeah what a great turnaround... Toy.

yeh good point grim it is for this reason they have to find a way to beat WCE, and then get over Port in rd 22. Having said that 14 wins could get them 4th the way the rest of the 8 are playing atm.

It's good to see that freo are getting the recognition that they deserve they havent even mentioned at all in regards to their finals compaign up until these past 2 weeks despite being in the top8 for the majority of the season all I can say is they are the afl's smokey right now. They are playing very well and look unbeatable. All I can say is good to see your finally getting respect Freo now if people can do the same for the bulldogs that would be great. Good Luck Freo for the finals in 2006.

 

[cobba]

and will probably loose both finals in they finish top 4

 

[The Hobo]

you can only hope

actually port have knocked over some pretty fair sides this year.

Saints, Sydney, West Coast, Bulldogs, as well as giving Collingwood a scare this week.

5 of the top 8 sides

 

[FFC_VIC]

After enduring many many seasons of ridicule, insipid performances and lost opportunities, maybe it is finally our time.

Having watched just about every away game Freo have played over the last 10 years live, this feeling of being third is actually rather unusual.

However giddy I might feel - I only have to consult with a Geelong fan to discover what it is like to get ahead of yourself.

The Bandwagon is getting fuller by the moment but we will welcome anyone on board.

To get the recognition they deserve, play like it, in which they did.

 

[kanabar]

i have gut feeling thAT WE WILL WIN our finals this year especially if at subi

 

[Warwick]

I said a couple of weeks ago that their season in 2006 has similar parallels to Brisbane's in 2001. They had a couple of big losses early in the year, and were criticised by all. However, they have started a great winning streak and must be full of confidence. Brisbane won 15 straight on their way to the grand final, and there is no reason why Freo can't do the same.

 

[VicBlues]

Well done to Freo - still have to get your % up ( stiill the lowest of the 8 )

 

[kidstyler]

And will have to win at least 1 game by 15 goals to get your % up to stay alive...........













NO CHANCE

wait ... hold on.... here she comes...

yeah i just farted!

 

[MrSquashed]

well done to freo

bleh to sydney though,
