Coach Off Season changes 2024/25

[stax on the mull]

Just because someone asks you don’t have to say yes.

Bellend was the one who white anted out Connolly. By the end of cuddles tenure belly refused to speak to him.

Which one is Bellend and which one is belly, or are you just naming body parts.

When we delisted Bell we effectively ended his career. North for some reason gave him a lifeline, and Bell maximised the opportunity to become a premiership winner and legend of the league.

On top of that, he had the grace to return to Fremantle.

The stuff of legends is Peter Bell.

The decision to move to Geraldton for business reasons and only train once a week was a bad look in 2008.

Not as bad as seeing him at IGA. He is very short
Absolute legend.
All he wanted to do was play for Freo.
Was dudded to north but still came back and led Freo..
I do think he has helped steady the ship again post Ross Lyon.

Not perfect, but his heart was in the right place.

Could have won the Norm Smith as well. I certainly rated his game better than Shannon Grant's that day

Nasty speculation. Completely disrespectful and without meaningful evidence.

For all we know he asked to change role last year and then decided that he wanted something different.

Thanks for everything Belly.

Bell had no idea about the move 12 months ago until he was told in Garlicks office. Completely blindsided. Come to your own conclusions as to why he’s left now.
I was told at the time by my sauce but chose not to post on advice from others with itk’s on here. Now’s he’s gone it doesn’t matter.

Of all the Dockery things the club has done I think this one takes the cake, delisting Bell after 2 games then trading Sinclair and pick 6 to get him back.

Coulda had Shaun Burgoyne, Damiel Kerr, Ash McGrath ect

I don’t have any ITK, but from my perspective it had a feel about it that it wasn’t a decision Bell initiated. Special Operations…

Love Bell and has given his all for this club in all positions. Personally, it is quite obvious that the club felt it was best served having a new General Manager and tried a gentle out the door type approach. Members can draw their own conclusion on the approach.

What I can say is that he came into the role at a tumultuous time. Part of the process to move on RTB. Unfortunately for him his appointment came at the time Neale had enough of it all. Given Bell’s apt only days before it al went down the blame can’t be pointed at Bell for the Neale out and Hogan in. Steve Rosich and the board at the time have a lot to answer for. The fact that Neale wanted out in the first place is the most disappointing aspect.

Anyway all the very best to Mr Bell and thanks for all you have given and done for Fremantle football club.

Where there's smoke there's fire.

There's nothing in the media release about his next move which is curious. Typically when someone like Bell leaves it's always to pursue something specific.

I wonder what went down.

After the Pav, Peter Bell is up there as our spiritual leader.
As a teenager he had a newspaper article about a possible AFL team based out of Fremantle hanging above his bed.
Every morning he would get up and start training with the dream of being part of that inaugural team.

Coming back to captain after winning 2 premierships.

Reentering the scene to clean after Ross Lyon.

I don't think you can really question his desire or love for the club.

Second greatest Captain at the club.
Driving us from a rabble to our first finals.
Show some respect.

 

[freo1997]

Yeah did some questionable things going up to Geraldton in his last few years of playing and some list management mistakes..but he is a Dockers Champ. Be in the top 10.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

I'm baffled why anyone who loves the club wouldn't wish anything but the best for Belly. He may be thought to have been a bit too hands-on when running the footy department, but that only speaks to his personality type, not his care for or service to the club.
