I firmly believe the fans set some degree of attitude within the club, they learn what they can get away with and what the fan base tolerates. They learn if the fans respond to excuses or will demand results.
It is nothing but fantasy, or we’re the worst administration in world sport, if we’re making list decisions based on what the receptionists are subjected to on a Monday morning.
At least cross fingers Lobb is on the park, can anyone answer why our forwards are now playing back
at Peel?
Appears that we have an opening but no one to walk through.

Yeah it’s hard not to feel that way atm.
Also while I was certainly fan of getting hogan (again the state of our list/list management , lack of kpf will do that to ya)I also had my concerns for sure over his injury.
it really doesn’t look good for the future with him.
I’m very much in the can’t see him playing more than 50 games for us.
Sad part That’s not being pessimistic , just realistic in relation to these injuries.
It’s well know career ender, regardless of sport- meaning plenty of clubs , much wealthier and a lot more accessible to world class specialists than ours have failed many times to get players back from this injury.
After just coming out of the Bennell saga,which was hot on the heals of the morabito one we’re now all the way back at the start of it all again with hogan .
Will someone at this club please make a stand!!??
Just Dixon, and he is probably too slow to play forward
If he is too slow to play forward then he can't be a defender, defenders have to keep up with forwards, only ruckman can be slower than forwards in an AFL side.
He was at Peel under our noses. Why wouldn’t we direct Cam Shepherd to play him forward? He was getting big wraps around the Club down there. Just more ineptness...
I'm not getting into that stupid argument again. My feelings on this are well covered on this site.

At the age of 17 & doing what he was doing, there was no need for him to play forward, he was clearly a special talent. In any case I’m sure he was playing forward as a junior, you don’t play the jets back at that level. He absolutely should have been drafted as many supporters were calling for at the time.

Naughton could always play forward. You never wanted Houghton under any circumstance. Prefered east coast mids. Gave me a hard time for months when I declared the kid was a future champ even though you hadn't seen him play.. He was under the Fremantle recruiters nose for years. Its another recruiting disaster by this club. Fremantle don't recruit WA KPP,s. McGovern and now Naughton makes me sick to my stomach.
We’re similar. I avoid the stupid stuff too on here so wouldn’t know your feelings.
Supporters make all sorts of random calls to draft certain players every season, you can't just cherry pick the ones they sometimes get right in hindsight and discount the pile of ones they get wrong..
Sweet. We'll probably recruit him
.
The dopey campaigner who authorised him returning to training before he was exhaustively scanned and all experts consulted needs to be fired by Monday.
This club can jam the remainder of my money for the year right up its stupid arse.

Based on our luck, you're right. Will slowly break down, make the off cameo before pulling the plug in his late 20s.
Needs to be quoted again!
And yet the eternal rallying cry for a fair few fans is that we "need more Fremantle people!!!!"
I couldn't give a **** where they're from, I just want competent people at Freo who know how to run a successful club. Right now, describing the operation as directionless is being kind.
So many people at this club are seemingly just coasting because there's no accountability and evidently there are very few standards. I really don't blame supporters for wanting to give up.
This is the part I just cannot, will not understand.
They ve lost the plot
You could possibly argue the very first time he started @ Freo not just the last time.
Even though we let the cobblers do the cobbling, look at Shill particularly its hard not to wonder how much pressure comes from the match committee people for the fitness staff to sign off on players when the pressure is on the coaching department.
We seem to have a very band record recently.

I get where you are coming from on this and feel a bit the same way. I also think the club that has invested heavily in Jesse would not be that stupid as to see a scan that screams Navicular issue and ignore it. They would have scanned it several times I am sure before letting him run. He tried a bit a few weeks ago I think and pulled up sore. So he went for more scans and to seek out a specialist in that area again and behold he has the same issue as last year. Don't think it is the negligence of the first scans did not show anything but it is almost certainly some level of ineptitude that is for sure
