Mick Jeffrey (and doesn’t he get around) decided to watch Melbourne and Freo to see how the Dees had progressed since Round 1. (Sorry, that should read “regressed” since Round 1.)

AFL Round 6 – Gold Coast v Fremantle: Saturday night’s for fighting, bad decisions, skill errors and 10km on Sundays
May 7, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Once upon a time Fremantle were once known as a team of turnover merchants thanks to their high risk possession style in the early Gerard Neesham era. It seems that mantle has been passed on to the Suns.
AFL Round 5 – Fremantle v Richmond: Angry
April 27, 2013 by 12 Comments
Ira furor brevis est. Or so they say. I went to bed angry. But I’ve woken from such fitful sleep as I’ve had still angry. Not such a brief madness after all. I’m angry thinking about poor Matty White. For half a dozen seasons, he’s been a fringe player at Richmond, legs moving at twice [Read more]

March 27, 2013 by 2 Comments
West Coast supporter Brad Carr helps all those in the eastern states understand the dynamic of a derby. (Although he still finds it hard to get inside the head of Freo fans.)
The AFL has limped into Round 1, again
March 26, 2013 by 5 Comments
The AFL keeps missing the point. After another long, meaningless pre-season, round one was limp and unimaginative. That the round was split isn’t the problem. The problem is the choice of games.

Adam Ritchie believes Freo could finish Top 4 this year if their midfield improves. He also believes Ablett hate watches Fremantle games whenever possible, just so he can hate watch Crowley.
AFL Finals Week 2: Why the underdogs can win
September 13, 2012 by 4 Comments
After tipping Fremantle to defend Geelong and Sydney to defeat Adelaide last week (alright, I also tipped Collingwood), I firmly believe that both underdogs can win this week’s semi-finals. Such is the nature of finals football and in a testament to the competition’s evenness this year, both of the favourites (Collingwood and Adelaide) could be [Read more]
AFL Finals – Week 1: The 2012 ‘Mopsy’ Fraser Cup
September 10, 2012 by 2 Comments
All power to the Funky Purps, this is their highest point, even better than when they made a prelim against Sydney, to beat the reigning premier on their home turf and knock ‘em out of the finals, it’s a great day for the Purps. Perhaps it’s their Great Day for 2012 and nothing else will come of it.
Heave Ho – lid’s back on
June 11, 2012 by 11 Comments
Richmond are improving, and possibly can still be finalists, but as far as getting ahead of yourself goes, this Richmond week rivals the 2012 Carlton Premiership. Has there ever been a game where the arriving crowd was so sure they were going to win! There was no tension amongst the Tiger horde s – they [Read more]
Strength through loyalty
April 24, 2012 by 2 Comments
The Saints have a very ironic saying in their logo. “Fortius Quo Fidelius” Strength Through Loyalty And boy, are they lucky that we Saints fans are loyal to them, because they are certainly inconsistent. Sometimes I think it should read “We know we’re unpredictable, and don’t always win the games we should, but just stick around, [Read more]
A search for two women of Fitzroy
April 12, 2012 by 4 Comments
The Fremantle Dockers had one of their finest times before and after round 22 of 1996. It was a sad time. Fitzroy played their last AFL game against Fremantle on 1 September. The AFL didn’t do much to mark the occasion but the Dockers, in just their second season, realised its importance. They helped a [Read more]
A Seductive Afternoon With Sherrin
April 8, 2012 by Leave a Comment
I’m getting jealous. While increasing numbers of our community here are enjoying closer and closer shared family experiences at the footy, my own experiences are going in the opposite direction. My wife’s previous apathy to attending any sort of sport is slowly reasserting itself, while my son said goodbye to me from the couch at [Read more]

by Dennis Gedling It’s not every day that 20 or so people stop talking to point and laugh at you when you enter a room but I was able to cross that honour off the bucket list deep in Dockers territory on a Round 1 Saturday night. The day had started off so well [Read more]
