Freo are an awful club just a forever nothing.

 

[Interstater]

If freo had drawn or won that game, we would likely have had:

1 SA side
1 NSW side
1 Qld side and
1 WA side
in the Top 4

When is the last time that would have happened?

Eddie would have been recalled from Paris to hold Vic only meetings to "fix" things.

 

[Festerz]

Hinkley?

To be fair that last minute score from a centre bounce is something we have done more than once. All down to the courage of the player who dares to make the break and take it on.

Essendon v Freo. Two sides who always flop at the end of the season. Immovable mass vs Immovable object.

A draw would have been appropriate but more than happy with a Freo loss (because of what it gives us this week in terms of ladder position)

Duursma injured again

Is he? I saw him late in the game trundling.

 

[KrispyKremeMullanikka]

Another bites the dust. Are they rolling red carpet for Kenny?

Freo 29 painful years with some of the best individual footballers you could want.
8 coaches in that time and so many almost moments.
There supporters take a lot of shyt but they shrug it off and turn up year after year.

The last game of ours v Freo is going to be interesting. Could well be a case of if we win, we are second on the ladder and Freo miss the right. We lose, we end up fifth and Freo make the eight.

 

[Grave Danger]

Four Loins players have outscored the Saints atm

Yeah it just looked so easy, Freo totally flat footed and bird watching.

Yeh, he was listed as 'OUT' late in the last quarter then saw him limping off the bench after the siren.

There's actually nothing more depressing than stkilda

Yeah might have been a hammy, he passed that ball to Langford who dropped a sitter and went down after that.

I could think of one thing.

Every time I see one of these last minute comeback wins I'm reminded of the obsession Choko Williams had with practicing icing games in our last H&A season games from 2000-2004.

Pissed me off no end at the time but when you see a game like this - and the GWS game earlier you can see why he obsessed about it.

Nowadays you can just put a sign up for the shut down drill and still the players stuff it up (remember when Chocko used count down boards and was banned from doing it by the AFL? Now every team uses them. Everyone forgets what an innovator Mark Williams was as coach)

Yeh that was it....I thought he would have gone for goal

 

[Greasyrhys]

How did the aints beat the swans?

 

[JimmyBC]

Pray for edgie & Playthekids76 it's a rough day for them

 

[Festerz]

D Howard

Yep.

I gather everyone now knows why he wanted to be traded out and why off field issues made us happy to comply.

Still, I'm disappointed for him his shift hasn't worked out. Had a lot of potential imho.

There was nobody quite like Chocko, he had 100% belief his way was the right way.
Sometimes he was spot on other times it ended bad.
People liked him for his working class no frills approach.
He played the game hard and coached the same way.
I don’t agree with all he done but he was the real deal not like these politically correct Puffer jacket jack offs

 

[PAFC66]

How did the aints beat the swans?

The same way we beat them by 112.
They're cooked.

Kane Cornes: Port just traded out a future All Australian defender

 

[Powerade 08]

We need to be working on Phillipou and NWM. Saints aren’t gonna move up the table anytime soon

Bonner’s best game was in our worst game.
