Eagles V Freo

[imperial_oz]

its payweeks lads...

open your wallet and empty it on the dockers. WorstFOLD has the weagles purring for a wonderful loss this week and the rest of the season.

West CoKes are cheating and it will be there for all to see over the remaining matches. WorstFOLD is the master cheat - he has twenty five assistances, the best faciltities, more medical staff than PMH, control of the wa media w***ers and more cash to throw around that all others - which will all aid him in hiding the fact that they are tanking their way to 4 wins.

This was the team talking about top4 at the start of the season !???

AFL must step in.

You're dreaming! Not that your wrong, but actually hoping the AFL will take appropriate action? Wow.

To the original point...I hope we give them a flogging. Stuff draft picks, stuff tanking. No draft pick is ever going to be worth instilling that sort of culture on your playing group.

Freo has for too long accepted less than their best and Harvey is trying to turn that around. The kids are showing the right attitude and the best way to reinforce that is to win games. Whether we get Pav, Sandi or any of the others back, we need to go out each week expecting to win.

If I thought Harvey was tanking, I'd call for his head but he wears his heart on his sleeve too much. You can see his disappointment at games end and when we win on the weekend, watch the change on his face.

Dont know if other teams are tanking and if they are, I hate them for it but I want our guys to win the bloody thing. F*** the draft picks. End the PPs for the good of the game.

/rant over

It will matter.
Keep telling yourself that but it does not

I remember the Freo board this year before the first derby win.
It was a nightmare, with calls to sack Harvey and posters turning on each other like you would't believe.
Had we won a game up to that point and some loons had us in the 8

Perhaps fans on here will find a little bit of rather cynical solace in seeing us denied a PP but your average punter probably isn't that forgiving, or has quite the same outlook that the bigfooty microcosm provides.
Mate is Barra has it figured out so does your average granny and Cottesloe punter. BF is a weird microcosm. You will win 1 more home game anyway.

Bottom of the ladder, record bad game, very poor crowd numbers last week (did you notice the hail at half time) then a derby loss when you have been a virtual automatic selection for the 4 points over the last 3 years. Plus I know the feeling of many Dockers fans on here towards the WA media and you can guarantee a huge deal will be made over a Dockers loss. Plus the 30 something thousand Fremantle fans who turn up to what would probably be the only solace they receive for the rest of the season won't be to happy.
Have you read the Worst, its already considered a joke match. Media smedia. They were talking about tanking openly in the game v Port.


I know a lot of Dockers fans and I can tell you whilst being staunch may be an anti WC troll mechanism on here, not one of the Dockers supporters I know won't be shattered or incredibly pissed off with the loss. I think the consensus from a couple is if you only do one more decent thing this year, it would be to win the home derby. Then again they may be a little more passionate than some of the supporters on here seem to be.
You are kidding yourself. Being in Perth you will know supporters of both sides. Both hate to lose but one more than another...ignorance or arrogance? The last decent thing for us is get the 1st pick (if able) and get a pp (like your lot last year). Stopping your boys getting a pp is bonus


Expectations should be the same. We both have had shit years.

 

[Play by Numbers]

Oh it certainly will matter but I suppose you are not a real supporter anyway.

Lamest Fremantle supporter I have seen by a long shot, possibly increasing your chance for picks of unspecified quality mean more to you than a derby win? I personally do not know a single Fremantle supporter who so openly dosn't care whether they win or lose this week outside of bigfooty. Or maybe you are just bracing yourself for a possible loss.

Either way unbelievably soft and I would say the same about any WC supporter who dosn't want to see us win this week.

Wax lyrical all you want about planning for the future, your club has consistently failed (showing some guts and actually trying to win and not a PP is the only thing that will change your joke of a reputation), for the last year and a bit we have been no better. At some point winning has to matter.

I have always understood Dockers supporters passion for derby's cause lets face it your club are abject ****ing failures and a joke (I would say that even if I didn't support WC), but I actually thought you bunch had some heart, seems few on bigfooty do.

Finished your little self serving rant?

Think freeo will win by 20-30 pts.

 

[Macca18]

Fremantle please.

I'd like West Coast not to win as a victory will automatically exclude it from generous draft preferences. We play them next week in Perth and I'd like them to still be in "a loss is really a longterm win" kind of mindset. The players deny this is the case, as they should publicly, but no doubt the coaching staff and people behind the scenes have other ideas.

 

[Bateman]

we're talking about going for number 2 -just struggling to find the energy for said 2 minutes

Take a spoonful of cement and harden up!

[JuddtheDudd]

People who want their team to lose are just plain embarrassing...(yes i understand your feeble arguments !!)


Call yourself anything you want just dont call yourself real supporters......

 

[mehow2g]

Freo play their best footy against Eagles, freo should take it.

 

[flow_ryder]

Hopefully it's a repeat peformance of 2000 derby aka destruction derby

 

[zigskillz]

did anyone watch the ch7 morning news. at the end of the afl news, with no relation to the previous story (about kozis suspension), the news reader says:

"the eagles will lose this years priority pick if they beat the dockers this weekend"

then moves onto a soccer story. was this f*cking necessary? what tossers

Why so touchy?? Like it or not, you only have your team to blame for all the tanking talk.

yeah, i can see how it might seem like im having a rage.

but i was mostly highlighting how a sentence at the end of the news was unnecessary and not really news worthy. a nice big snipe imo.

actually i am having a rage.

 

[JimDocker]

Not going matey...wife is about to pop

Nice - you sound like father of the year!!!!!

If I remember correctly when she was about to pop the first one out, I was at The Norfolk having a pint and you were sitting next to me !

Best of luck anyway mate. I will keep in touch. ( and drink an extra 7 pints in your stead).

 

[Cuzz09]

We aren't tanking, we are just plain and simple not good enough.

Simple as that.

IF we can beat Fremantle then I can see us beating Essendon, Kangaroos and Richmond to finish off the season in a decent way.

 

[footyfix]

So as I see it, if we win we are playing our grand final and only get up for derbies blah blah blah, and if we don't win we are useless losers, joke of a team blah blah blah. Good job west coast and you're sycophantic media, you have us stitched up no matter what the result and you guys come out smelling alright no matter what the result. You must be very proud of your club. And since when is getting yourself up for an important game a bad thing? west coast should try it, oh yeah, thats right.....

 

[PastiesPeake]

Schools off

Well I am - but not for the reasons you suggest. It has nothing to do with West Coast how the media perceives you. It's a decade and a half of being shit that dictates how the media perceives you.

BTW - Freo are a joke of a team, regardless of the derby result.

I thought it odd as well.

 

[scooterb]

And since when is getting yourself up for an important game a bad thing?

The 'bad thing' is the fact that you see the derby as an important game.

That's what's wrong with Fremantle. They turn up for the derby but do nothing else for the rest of the season.

At least my team maintains the same amount of intensity week in, week out.

 

[footyfix]

It never ceases to amaze me that with all the scummy, bottom of the barrell behaviour your club has dished up you still think you are better than us because you won, by 1 point, a very dubious grand final. Astonishing.

Nothing to be amazed about - we simply are the better club.

AFL grand finals >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> London cups.



Simple really.

And how many points did Fremantle win their premiership by again? Oh yeah....your clubs greatest accomplishment has been winning one single final in the 15 years you've been in the AFL.

HaHaHa by like 2 goals at home vs Melbourne of all teams - awesome.
