I hadn't thought about how shit they were last year until reading Connelly's article.

After Round 9 2015 season, Fremantle was dubbed premiership favourites. Its gutsy 11-point win over Adelaide — a game highlighted by the infamous Nat Fyfe-Patrick Dangerfield midfield battle — saw it stand alone on top of the ladder with a flawless 9-0 record and a percentage of 151.6.

16th and anchored to the bottom.

Funny thing about Freo was their season was actually a double failure.

Not only were they utterly noncompetitive in Pav's final season, but at the start of the year Ross Lyon promised to overhaul their shitty defensive gameplan to promote faster ball movement & more attacking flair in the front half - yet sure enough by the end of the year they were back to playing the same shitty 18-men-behind-the-ball rubbish he's shamelessly peddled throughout his career.

Yeah they blooded a few kids which was nice, but really no more than they absolutely had to given their injuries. I think Ross is incapable of change.

Played everyone we could.

Also lost Luke McPharlin for 2016, a player who the Hawks regretfully traded.

Dude you're totally ruining my "Ross Lyon can't change!" narrative. Let's not go bringing facts into this, okay?

The real problem at the dockers is those 2 hawthorn flogs that came over as untried coaches and stunk everything up in the box

Freos future isnt bright their gun player (Susan ) Nik Suban is a free agent 2017
 
Geez, imagine finishing lower than 12th. You'd have to be a campaigner of a club to have ever finished lower than 12th.
We finished 14th in 2014, lost our captain, our coach, our CEO then our B&F winner (Libba) went down with a knee in our first intra-club match.
Went on to make finals in 2015, and 2016 panned out ok for us too.

But then again, Ross Lyon is no Luke Beveridge.

Ah sooooo... Mofra miss point. Confucius say only one team never finish below 12th. This greatest team all... HOOOARRRR!!! *gong*
 
I had a little chuckle today when I saw their photo shoot, I thought they claimed they cleaned out all the rubbish but clearly when I saw Zac Clarke still in a Docker jumper it was just a "Ross Ruse". Then sure enough Ballantyne, Dawson and Suban were all still there as well and I thought all is well with the Universe.

Dawson is still there? :huh:

Those must be some serious hoover lips.
