Review Will the Real Fremantle Please Stand Up? Freo Belt Melbourne at the G

[Piggy Smalls]

That was utterly thrilling to watch. So proud of the whole club right now

 

[Piggy Smalls]

To be fair, the first half v Sydney PF 2013 probably the best half ever.
But today was up there as one of our best in years. The second quarter just grinding grinding.
Lobb with a huge second goal from 50m out suddenly had us within 13. Just dominated the best midfield in clearances even centre clearances. Gawn was back to his normal self. Darcy just peppered him with tapwork.
Jlo changed the message big time. Players played on often after marking. Set us really well going forward

First half of 2012 elimination final was our best ever IMO

If you had bet your house on Freo against Gold Coast, you’d be down a house.

If you then bet your house on Freo against Pies, you’d be down 2 houses.

If you then bet your house against the Dees, you’d have won 4.7 houses and be up 2.7 houses since betting houses.

I hope you actually own a real estate empire off this one

 

[Dockernut]

Loved the play but it was a clear throw lol

Nah.

A lot of kingy hate... I remember he backed our list multiple times to rise up the table in 2020 and 2021. We didn't do it and I think that's why he's now gone so far the other way.

I just don't get why the haters continue to watch and listen to him. Weird.

Of all the games to miss to do renovations....

 

[Kings of the State]

Every single AFL showvon Foxtel and free to air, every podcast and radio station should devote this week to Freo. Endless discussion and applause for the team that killed Melbourne Demons!

You missed one of the greatest quarters in our history.

Agreed. Spewed at him after the Geelong game. It’s exactly what he wants. Tweets and retweets.
Ignore him and Gossafe and enjoy the footy we are playing.

Banfield is a perfect Medi Sub option. Came on and impacted in Tabs absence.

Cox came off last week with a mystery illness/injury (he's playing today) because he wasn't having an impact, so Collingwood ran on some fresh, more mobile legs.

JL learns pretty damn quick.

 

[estibador]

Every single time he handballed i had to make a remark about how good they are because theyre just THAT good

I'm literally on the edge of my seat for every Freo game from start to finish, so the biggest compliment I can give Brodie is I'm suddenly calm when I see him swoop on a ball... because I know with absolute certainty that a) he'll pick it up cleanly first time, b) he'll release it to a teammate in a better position and we'll be away.

Nah. Tabs did hurt his back. You could see him struggling and trying to stretch his back on the far wing after a contest.

Nah they are gonna spend the week discussing if that should have been 50 to Richmond vs Sydney

Out of the blue wins and losses is what being a Freo fan is all about!

With his shadowbeard and jawline he has a touch of the Buzz Lightyear about him

Of all the games to miss to do renovations....

Can you please renovate every weekend until October?

 

[King Huskii]

Brennan Cox and Pearce belted the absolute shit out of their tall forwards. Ben Brown had what, one kick?

Ben Brown sux

Was being a bit tongue-in-cheek there mate

 

[theGav56]

Its about belief. This is the belief that we need. Anytime, anywhere.

Just need to add;

any weather.

I've lived in perth for a long time now and rate your boys much higher than those ********s down at lathlain. If it can't be us in the end I hope it's you. See you all at optus Rd 20!

Get along and see some live games as a neutral. Exciting gamestyle.

 

[Purple Maverick]

Freddy selling candy and kicking that goal when we needed it OMFG

 

[GoFreo4eva]

That has got to be in the top handful of wins in Fremantle history.

To go over there with such an inexperienced team and knock off the unbeaten juggernaut on their own deck... to be able to minimise the damage in the second when they were at their relentless best... to be able to turn the tables so comprehensively in the third and smash them at their own game... and then to finish with such a cool and calm professional performance in the last... just magnificent!

Agreed. I was very happy the way we eventually slowed them down in Q2] and didn’t let them keep that run and gun out of the middle going. That was almost as important as the simply outstanding efforts by all in Q 3. Maybe now Freddy will trust himself a bit more to really use that pace!

 

[Boppo]

I’m going to make a huge breakfast tomorrow morning and watch that whole glorious experience again.

Really stoked about Sonny's game today. To be honest, there was something about his absence during the Suns game that made the forward line feel very empty. Made me realise that his presence is somehow important without it being overt.

Seems like something has woken up in him since last week. Fingers crossed that those old neural pathways were given the spark he needs to finish his career with a bang!
