Why do they have to post this before the Sydney game

Sleeping giant in AFL flag race? ‘Surprising’ numbers behind Freo’s rise

Sleeping giant in AFL flag race? ‘Surprising’ reveal over stunning Freo rise

www.foxsports.com.au

Because it's true. And Leigh recognises that Freo are a team on the rise, and it's happening this season. Doesn't mean we'll win....anything, but it shows the trajectory we're on and what transformations are occurring, the blueprint is set, it's where we go from here that will ultimately be telling

Don’t panic, where not on the big stage Friday night. Only on 7 here in WA in all other states it’s a Fox only game. So if past behaviour is a reflection of future, no one’s going to see the outcome.

What tips do you think Ballas passed on? Give us your best.View attachment 1983317

Just annoy the sheeit out of them, bump push em talk a load a sheeit about them. They will smash ya in the mouth, but it is worth it. You get to kivk goals.

If David King of all people is praising us then that says something to me.

 

[King Huskii]

Treacy cost us less than any of those players. Let that sink in.

Thanks to Walls, not the afl

 

[Fred Ziffel]

$20 lol.

Yeah for a stubby holder they’re TTP. …. Laughable.

 

[dockshark]

Thanks for posting. I would love to see Joe Brierty do more media, he speaks really well, and with more freedom than JL. It feels like you get a deeper sense of what’s happening behind closed doors from Joe.

About us?
Or about the D**K?

Yeah I'm uncomfortable with timing of that Montagna bit. Wish it came out after a win this weekend

We win this weekend and there will be a lot more talk! What a great season to enjoy without expectation!

He's clearly hoping we get the upset to elevate his credentials. Saying we're good after we beat 1st isn't particularly impressive.

Sydney are cherry ripe for beating. Coming off a bruising Sydney derby and missing McMartin.

Yeah but the footy gods and karma and dockery etc etc

I don't think us losing counts as Dockery given we're underdogs. Even getting done by 6 goals at home isn't entirely out of the equation given the opposition.

If he pumped us up before playing the Tigers, that might have lead to some Dockery.

From 17:10 - Gerard can be such a smarmy little snot sometimes. Laughing at JLo complaining about Amiss's treatment as if the only complaint was that he was occasionally being held. Completely ignoring the scragging, wrestling to the ground, knee to the throat etc.

I'd actually rather it come before this weekend against a contender than a banana peel game like the Saints away next week

In the last three games Amiss has played he’s had

1) An elbow to the kidneys after a mark that was fined by the MRO
2) A concussion
3) An knee to the neck off the ball that was fined by the MRO

And they think JL is overacting saying he wants Amiss to get more protection.

It is on Fox as well. Channel 503.

He is becoming more unlikeable. A good caller play by play, but less likeable during the week. A certain smugness and a growing FIGJAM type attitude over the last two to three years.

While he has had great success, it is getting tiresome.

I ****ing hate Whateley, you know he was a wannabe sport in school. And had no talent.
I hate him for other reasons though

Plus the Brisbane player deliberately pushing him into the post and almost causing a severe leg injury.

He has turned into a sanctimonious windbag. Can't stand the grub.

"If they are taller than you, off the ball hits aren't reportable."
"It's not a punch if you were just swinging your arms and they got in the way."
"It's not small man syndrome, it's the fuel cell of a goal machine".

 

[MadMundy]

No need to listen to Gerard, just keep doing what we're doing and continue to rise above the expectations people have of us, all we can do.
