Hey Andy how good were Hawthorn back in the day!!
That last thread was getting long winded so lets fire up a newy,
Rightyo on Friday night could be game of the round, i'm on the swans atm but that could change half a dozen times by bounce down.
Rich over pies
Geel over Brissy but thats the one that could suprise
GWS
GC
Adel
Then to finish the round i reckon the 3 away teams will prevail
WC
Port
Hawks in a nail biter ( thats nail not pillow jack, dont get yourself a little stiffy ) by about 75 points over the fearsome purple headed custard chuckers.....

The game is too ruthless to not adapt Uncle, I personally hated Freo's game style with Ross Lyon. Nothing better than a free flowing, fast game - slowing the game down to become a grind is unwatchable.
If Freo has any chance of bringing on new members, then they need to change. Make it so kids want to watch, families want to watch. After the reception on the weekend with alot of people leaving the game early, it's not good for the future.
Freo fans were laughing in the stands everytime there was a calamity of errors.
It was embarassing and quite laughable, but I've become use to it ! Not anymore.

NoRun....... I'm hearing and
NoRun.......
I'm hearing and trying to understand and sympathise but i'll be honest i'm dead against sacking a coach in 90% of instances....
I'll rattle a few off for you
Mark Harvey - Rolf
Voss - Lepitch - Fagan
Ratten - Malthouse- Bolton
Riley - Bailey - Viney - Craig - Roos - Goodwin
Mckenna - Eade - Dew
Thomas - Rolf ( loosing GF ) - Watters - Richardson
Eade - Williams - Mcartney - Beveridge ( who because of an AFL rule change fluked a GF !! )
The list goes on.....
Now here is a few that members probably wanted sacked
Scott
Simpson
Buckely
But the best one of the lot is....
Damian Hardwick the poor C$#t....................
I absolutely dont see any gain and i think from the evidence above there is none to sack a coach, in fact in most cases it willset you back 5-10 year!!
I thought the ruthless approach Freo took by outing Harvey and grabbing Rolf was actually a modern and very well done approach....
A team on the up, a coach fresh out of a GF.....
Anyway, now to the finances, It would buckle Freo to have to pay Rolf out.....
He's on something like a million a year for what is it another 3 or 4 years?
Ouch, so you'd be paying that PLUS the new bloke you poach and for that to fly it would have to be a Matthews, Roos, Clarkson typa guy.... You wouldnt get em for under 1.5....
I feel your pain but i dont think Rolf is the root of all evil, when you draft dickheads into the side like Mcarthy ( why oh why did they pursue him so hard!! ) and Bennell into a culture that aint that flash then your asking for trouble....
Anyway I'm not here offering a solution i'm just giving you another way of looking at it..........

Agree with you there Boon and the above clubs were/are a victim of their own basketcase culture not just the coach. Sometimes though when the coach has completely lost the playing group it's time to move on like with Ken Judge and Peter Schwab>Clarkson

Done his calf again on Saturday so I reckon you can forget about him for good. That one game for Freo though, pure magic.

How about the nephew of a gun Brandon Matera? I’m assuming he’s not playing because I never see him on the goals list.

I agree timboon, to loose
I agree timboon, to loose that much money doesn't make sense.
I wasnt sure how long lyon had left, for some reason i thought it was only next year, better look it up i guess.
I just dont understand how a bunch of "pros" can play so bad.
It just has to be the coaching staff, or maybe what i belived was a good team, just really aren't.
My mrs said " scotty, why dont you just join me and go for essendon ". I said
"thankyou" with a shitty bloody grin. Haha

I wonder what financial impact the loss of members would have?
as they become fed up with the performances of the club?
Couple this with reduced attendances overall at games and the "loss" would add up - maybe not enough to be around the $$$ the current contracted coach at Fremantle is getting paid, but possibly a factor in deciding whether to cut the losses and pay Rolf and other non-performing coaching / recruiting staff out so the supporters / members and players have some glimmer of hope for success going forward??
As has been said, the talent is there, but not translating into winning footy enough??

The knives are certainly out

Oh bloody hell ! Im going to go and have a look at the carnage on facebook.
I still think we should sack him, another wasted two years of no game plan into the young kids is terrible, if we get to keep them that is.
I think he is up in 2020 so another two years.
Maybe I can get a go fund me on the freo facebook page to sack Ross :-)

Did any of you guys read the back page of the West today ? Does this mean the Eagles can complain about the umpires when we play an away game. FFS.

Summed up well Frosty
So many games marred by constant whistle blowing! Umpires should be seen and not heard.......

I don’t know if anyone noticed last weekend, but umpire Razor Chamberlain didn’t get a game. Wonder if he was dropped?
