Holy gently caress. I hate Fremantle, and the pincher, with a passion, however:

31 to 14 free kicks.
Crowley being intentionally kicked in the head and getting a free against him... I'm not bullshitting there, that happened.
A Dockers player was choked, hands round the neck, by a Geelong player who then did a soccer player dive and got a free.
Selwood, nuff said.

What an absolute travesty, I hate myself... Well done Freo for weathering that as well as you did.

The fix was in, but you got within a kick. Hard playing 19 guys, isn't it?

e: To clarify, I honestly and completely think a fix was in on that game, how else do you explain umpiring that gives a holding the ball decision against Fremantle when two of them were on a Cats player who had the ball in his hands? It's completely hosed up.

I don't know if I'd go that far but geez hes certainly important.

He is the linchpin of the defense and smashes it every week. No Johnson, no McPharlin. It'll be a slaughter.

They still have the imposing might of Zac Dawson

Never ever do that poo poo. It's Spud. Spud Dawson.

The fucker isn't a meal on his own, he needs a fuckload of salt, pepper, butter and a nice bit of meat to make a meal. Fucker is spud.

I'd call him crab Dawson but crab is tasty as gently caress by itself.

According to Bigfooty you bringing this up makes you the real racist.

Heh, The freo coach grabbing a freo supporter by the throat and calling him a oval office after he gabbed him is classic as.

More classic: The media latching onto that, rather than the statement from the AFL that says there is never, ever, at any time, ever, in any case, any reason to touch in any way an AFL coach, team official, player or umpire.

For the new OP!!!

If you want, I have the whole Dustin Martin handballing it through the big sticks from twenty meters out with nobody within two meters of him then him and his captain carrying on at the umps like spoiled children while Fremantle slot a goal.

Funny as gently caress.

I had a fractured skull once. They just stick it all together with plates and screws and send you back like six weeks later while high on painkillers. I can't see football training being any different than the war.

I'm not a member anymore because it's utterly pointless until they build the new stadium.







:(

I do have Eagles stuff dating back to '94 however. We moved in '96 though so I had to start all over again by the mid 2000's and the only tickets you could get then were Dockers tickets.

You know you are exactly the kind fair weather supporter your two team town opponents make fun of, right?

I very much agree, its just a matter of balance like most things, you can't have every game on a Saturday arvo, but the AFL should have one game at that time slot in Melbourne practically every week.



Just reading about the Freo season launch, and there was some chat about who the next captain will be and Lyon threw up the idea of Walters being in the mix. And this got me thinking has there been any long term Indigenous captains in AFL/VFL? Were Goodes or Polly Farmer captains? I know Stephen Michael was captain of South Freo for a few years, but thats about the limit of my knowledge.

Michael Long?
