    Correct. In our house we have no pay tv at all. Much more fun to be had outdoors than paying to sit in front of the goon box

    This would indeed suck, but still as much as I am a football and Fremantle fanatic, I just value doing other things that are free in life. If I can’t watch a game on tv I’d happily listen to it on the wireless whilst taking the family fishing or playing in the park. Paying to watch sport on tv...

    haha yeah I got over those easy because they didnt need me to pay for something that was once free. We're a sporting nation - i dont agree with paying for something that was always free.

    I'm too old fashioned and stubborn. i will absolutely not, never pay to watch the simple things that should be free - starting with sport. Just cant bring myself to do it. Id rather go without. whether it's our club, the scorchers or the Australian cricket team, we just dont watch it in our...

    Universal Love Welcome to Freo- Josh Treacy

    Been a massive fan of JT since the day we drafted him. Just love his attack on the footy. Gee i hope he again excels this year - but he will be the hunted this year so will have to step up again, it wont just happen. A bit like for Amiss last year. It's not going to be easy for the 2 kids but...

    Autopsy Grade our 2024 draft

    Meh, I dont really feel the draft mattered this year - kids we pick up arent going to help us on field for a while. As long as we bring in good people and hard workers to drive culture that's all that matters. The win was bringing in the top up talent (Bolton) during the trade period.

    Prediction National Draft 2024

    Crazy when you read your first 2 points in isolation/together. Therin lies the contradiction that is Fremantle.

    Welcome Welcome Max Knobel!! - Pick 42 in the 2022 National Draft

    This is just a classic Fremantle moment. One of those moments where we tie our own shoelaces together and wonder why we trip up. No doubt he'll show us up now as one of those "why the hell did we let him go" players.

    Welcome Welcome to Freo Jaren Carr - pick 63 of the 2024 Draft (a real life Father-Son selection!!!)

    The way he leaps at the ball and marks it is closely reminiscent of Fyfe. I’m sure he won’t be that great but they’re things you can’t teach. Hopefully he has mongrel in him like his dad and uncle. Would love to see him on a wing or high HF

    Prediction National Draft 2024

    Bit harsh - I thought Logue was great when his body gave him a solid run at things. He gave us good versatility. I agree he would likely struggle for a game at times but he's no potato. He was also great for our culture at the club, which is often underrated. Thankfully the club has openly...

    Prediction National Draft 2024

    I really dont think it mattered who we selected this year. We're not in the phase where we'd give games to any draftee, unless they're a superstar number 1 type pick up. Even if we selected Bo Allen or Berry, they would be in the same position of not getting a game (at least consistently)...

    Crossing my fingers we're the ones to play in Bunno. Watching our purps at the redeveloped Hands Oval will be awesome. Bringing football back to the burbs and the people! As a SW resident, this will be such a great thing for the kids.

    Game Day 2024 Trade Period - Lian Yu - that liminal space between trade and draft.

    I actually really like Narkle. Have watched quite a few of his games. I think it was his first or second game for Port he came on as sub and basically won them the game. Pretty clean, tough and can kick well. If nothing more than a depth player and someone to help Bolton settle in, I think...

    Training Pre-Season 2025 - The boys are back in town.

    I think some people need to lighten up on the fella (pardon the pun). Part of what makes him so dominant is his build. He's never going to naturally be a ripped athlete and he looked just like this when he was winning F&B's. May not be as easy as you think for someone of his build to lose the...

    Training Pre-Season 2025 - The boys are back in town.

    Son Son is smart enough to know he needs to tick even more boxes now to get a game. Fantastic to have his leadership around the place but he and Fyfe should only be depth in 2025, as much as i love them and want success for them.

    No wonder their trading has been up the Shit. One of their main men is some numpty who needs to live a double life and post on BF (if you believe him)! Personally I feel he's a lost soul who needs some validation in life and does so by having an alter ego in here. Either way, as you say, pure...

    Yesterday Duff was simply saying that if Warner wants to come home, there will be a bidding war between WC and Freo and Reid's position and influence on draft picks and $$ could influence this. They were saying it's just more even than Warner coming to Freo to play with his mates

    I agree that the Hawks F1 wont play any part - it's likely to be too close our own first rounder so it'll just come down to $$. I can't remember if Duffield said the Eagles current picks will play any part but my point today though was if Reid wanted to go that top pick(s) could play a part if...

    I agree - all i said is it could play a part, in terms of threats, working with other teams, over pricing a player etc etc. My point is that Sydney have a proven history of getting guys to stay, even when out of contract.

    But the swans have to accept it, so it is still very much a factor. The swans have a history of being ruthless in these trades, if they're not appeased they will likely find a way to convince him to stay or do something else involving the PSD. there's no givens here. If the eagles were to have...

    Every single example, oh except Baker, oh and except Jack Martin, or and any other player who has been forced into the pre-season draft. You're not exactly getting what I'm saying. I understand a player chooses where they would like to go, but that deal then has to appease the club the player...

    You're very strong in your opinion here, which i absolutely disagree with. If WC was to get hold of pick 1 in next year's draft by trading Reid, how can it not improve your hand in getting a player? - particularly if that player (ala Baker) has stated they want their former club suitably...

    yes but if he was to want a trade next year at the time when Warner says he wants to come home, west coast would be in the game to ask for a No. 1 pick and probably another top 10 pick at least which would be a lot of capital to flick on for Warner. We all know now that years on contracts mean...

    For what it's worth, if he leaves Sydney, I think he'll want to come to us, but Money talks. WC will have the capital (if Reid wants out) and they'll likely have the money. If WC make Sydney happy, then everyone (clubs & managers) gets in Warner's ear about that and how he owes the club etc...
