Freo should have been in that 2015 Final. Started 9-1 I'm sure. I think their problem has always been being able to take that next step in Finals, getting to a GF after 2013, and being able to crack that maiden flag, it was just TOO hard then. Of course dynasty-reigning Hawthorn didn't help! Ross peaked that year and it was all downhill skiing from there until the boot of 2019 came a-kicking.

Once they do, I think the enormous weight of expectation will lift and a few flags might follow - if this list can stay together, it's probably their best ever chance since 2015 time from here on in. This game is so much a mental thing, it's not funny....

Fremantle 9-1 and Sydney 8-2 both missed the GF that year.

Wowsers, wasn't aware of that. I think had we got past the Hawks in that bloody prelim, we'd take West Coast in the Grannie, although it'd be a nervy couple of hours to get to the end. West Coast would have HATED Freo would have won their first flag that way, hahaha! Alas, it wasn't to be...........so

Fyfe broken leg wouldn't play

Pav playing through injury was cooked

If Fyfe hadn't broken his leg it could have been a different story

West coast would've beaten us as I believe they had our measure by then.

I forgot about Fyfe and his leg. F*** Mitchell, dirty scumbag!!

Sliding doors and all dat. I guess we'll never know. Hard to fathom that was coming up to 10 years ago!

Fyfe breaking his leg in the preliminary had nothing to do with Mitchell

Don't think Mitchell broke Fyfe's leg, but he did give him a massive knee to the thigh muscle however. Mitchell the grub also got another player the same way about the same time from memory.
