Is Freo a one man team?

I think not!

 

The case for the prosecution rests, your Honour.

 

Go Freo!

Sheesh, didnt just get the job done, flogged them, in a bit of a form patch at the right time (apart from Crows loss) I didnt givem a chance with out Pav. Derby elimination final, how big will the build up be! Biggest ever match in Perth, Freo to beat the Dees by 10 goals, WC and Cats to loose and Pies to win for it to happen.

Sun, 2012-08-26 18:00

was they done it without the mighty Pav. Kicked there highest score over east. Sandi turf toe outstanding .

No. 1 ruckman in Australia bar none. 50 very effective taps

How about that blitz with about 15 minutes to go 6 unanswered goals by Freo with NM not getting a kick.

Just shows ya when Pavs gone it shouldn't be a concern in there future.

Hope WC and FFC meet in two weeks time should be a cracker.

I just can't see Freo getting past the 2nd week of the finals.

Sure they MIGHT beat WCE if it's a derby final, they always seem to lift against them. They wont beat Geelong in Vic but they MIGHT beat Collingwood.

Who knows yet, things will become alot clearer when we find out who makes the prelims. When the season really starts!

Still a tall order for any team out west to win from out of the top four. West Coast have to do the same next week against the Hawks, I think we can get up.

Think I said last week if you can keep the Roos to 12-14 goals you will beat them. They certainly capitulated in the last qtr - but take no credit away from Freo who are applying Lyon's game plan very well at the moment. It's a plan that does stack up well in finals footy as well....but some of those kids need that 'hardening' before I feel the Dockers can make a real impact. See how they go hey...

Sun, 2012-08-26 22:47

because credit to the player where credit is due.  in the last two seasons only twice he hasn't been tagged.  adelaide last year and they paid.  today north melbourne and they paid in the first half.  against richmond earlier in the season hill broke his tag in the second half and had 22 quality touches.  when hill touches the ball it is all class.  he and the team have a challenge ahead of them.  get the ball to hill in space.  his possessions are worth about three of everyone elses'.  kicks to advantage about 90% of the time and about 90% of those are to a forward's advantage and result in a shot on goal.  go back and watch the replays.  inside 50's to a forward, where a defender can't defend.  he is pure class.  brisbane (and everyone else) thought they did ok getting rich in the draft.  poor choice.  hill is much more of a damaging player.  and he will be tagged.  as freo use crowley to tag the most damaging oppostion player, and port use cassisi, and wc use selwood and geelong used ling, and carlton use caruso, and st kilda use baker, and ... and ... and ablett just complains about it.

 

i am very happy steven hill plays for freo and show me one coach or one supporter who would want him in their team.

Who's going in the right direction?  Hear this everyone freo are a force to be respected.  We are going to impact the finals! Big time. Mcpharlin, sandi, mundy, hill, Barlow, Crowley, tendzi, de boer, fyfe, Walters, Ballaz, Pearce, mayne, and let's throw in pavlich too for good measure!  The list is looking good

Grand Final wins

Sun, 2012-08-26 21:59

You can quote all the stats you like reality is 3 grand final apperances for nil cups for the saints under Lyons, good to get them there but second is the first loser.

West coast 5 apperances for 3 cups under two coaches. Can keep adding more but can't see any sense. Predictions don't mean anything. If Lyons can get the Dockers to the GF lets see if they can bring home the Holy Grail. Yep you do have a team with some good/top line players but so do other clubs, play each team and game on a week by week basis's. It's been a reasonable season for the Dockers at the moment winning from is good form let it slip one week in the finals and ya out, once you are in the top four at the end of the year for the finals than your a real chance till then enjoy what ya've got. A CABINET COLLECTING DUST.

 Pull that anchor outta your arse mate! His names natanui..and he'll be the best ruckman to play the game before his careers over, mark my words. Old turd toe is a crab and MacPharlin is half the defender our Glassy is! Coxy's  still a gun and has a major influence on the game, not like sandi pants.....when he turns up. BTW, Whatever happened to Jack Anthony? Great pick up he was!

Sun, 2012-08-26 21:07

 Jack Anthony will be delisted this year.  Our 'second' ruckman Griffen smashed your 'champions' a couple of weeks ago.  Mcpharlin is all Australian centre half back 2012.  Glass all australian 2012???  The eagles will not beat Fremantle again in 2012.

 Must have a lot of confidence in griffen then, if he only gets a gig when sluggish sandi is injured! Our first and "second" ruckmen play every week. And why is Grover outta favor? Probably because of Lyons love child...aka Zac Dawson, what a flop he is. Freo need to be taught a lesson...enter West Coast. Dorkers will bend over!

sorry, i don't remember any

Sun, 2012-08-26 23:01

sorry, i don't remember any wce eagle player winning on that day, maybe kerr and what good come out of his 478 possesions, jack shit.  nic nat wasn't interested and cox had an absolute shocker!  you must have missed that game, and today's as well.  "sluggish sandi" had about 5186 hit outs to advantage to about 8 NM hitouts and at half time was topping the clearance count on the ground.  as for grover, he has been a loyal servant of the club who is probably past his best,  and in one of his rare appearances this year he displayed the outright courage of which he only knows how to play the game and as a result got injuried.  he will always be a respected member of the squad and this year his role has been to keep the pressure on the back six and make sure they perform.  as for dawson, did you see him get beaten today?  as for that, did you see mcpharlin get beaten, or Johnson, or ibbitson, or duffield?  maybe mcphee once or twice but he also hurt NM up front as well kicking a couple of goals.  if you want to critique, watch the games!

Hate to burst your bubble...

Sun, 2012-08-26 21:28

Freo won the game convincingly...but, Griffen was beaten by both Cox and Naitanui in the ruck. Unfortunately it was our engine room that primarily let us down, and that has been the case for 6-8 weeks, until they turned the corner against a red hot Geelong. West Coast probably won't even play Freo again this year...so you're probably right in that regard.

Don't get ahead of yourself mate. A win's a win but September is a different ball game. I wouldn't get over confident....after all, your sitting 8th in a year where you've had a pretty reasonable draw.

Derby Final

Sun, 2012-08-26 20:57

Actually, I don't think a Derby final will eventuate.

If Sydney beat Geelong at the Cattery (which is not a given, by any means) and the Dockers smash the Dees as expected, they could very well end up in 6th and earn a home elimination final against Cats/Roos.

Also, if the Swans, Dockers and Roos all win convincingly - but the Roos come out and smash GWS by 120 points....Free could travel and play the Roos again in Week 1.

With both the Roos and Freo having 'easy' games next week - even if Geelong win, the battle for 7th/8th will be intriguing as percentage is going to be so important.

Really fascinating season.

Sun, 2012-08-26 21:36

Bring it on...well we did bring it on and look what unfolded.

I hope for the sake of you wc fellas they can improve on that performence.

Be prepaired for a flog job from the hawks next week and if you go hard we will love that.

Because we have a training run next week and a few wee girl on the side line would be nice.

Will make our job easy. [If we meet]

And ANTMAN whats his name needs to learn how to kick the ball before he can become 'the best ruckman to play the game'

How was his shot on goal 10 steps out right in front sat night. He is a shit kick so he will never be the 'best ever'

He has leg issues ATM [ might be why he's a shit kick ] covered stuff all miles and dogey legs. Na he won't go the distance.

Just a reality check for this

Sun, 2012-08-26 23:14

Just a reality check for this thread, 24 - 48 hours ago North Melbourne were the toast of the football world.  nine wins from ten games, beaten geelong, beaten collingwood, (kicked 8 unanswered goals against west coast before losing a close one) beaten most other challenges....

 

WELL GUESS WHAT EVERYONE.  TODAY THE "TALK OF THE TOWN TEAM" GOT FLOGGED at their home ground with their best team on the park (barr wells and mcintosh maybe).  That IS the reality.

 

Say what you want about Fremantle.  Reality is WE WERE THE TEAM THAT FLOGGED THEM. Just as last week we were the team that beat challengers Richmond, just as three weeks ago we were the team that FLOGGED that absolutley wonderful, best in the universe team the west coast mighty f..king eagles.

 

That is the REALITY.

 

Are we all clear on that!

 

Tight lines everyone.

 

The case for the prosecution rests, your Honour.
