The unashamed Freo bias from a reporter in a paid capacity is what gets under my skin. 

Lol c'mon mate...

He's a paid commentator/journo. He's doing exactly what he's paid to do and that's simply give his opinion. 

You say he's an unashamed Freo bias but yet he was the one that actually question the Luke Jackson trade instead of fawning over it like many other WA journo's

I’m allowed to have an opinion mate. Just give it a rest

So too is Haselby allowed an opinion. In fact, he's paid to have opinions, even if we consider them biased

Well, I am woke and I was one of the first Death Riders…

I think it’s fine.

And I can come up with worse too…

One can do a lot worse than being woke

Haha but then happy to smash others like Hasleby for having one..

Death riding or no death riding, I will be watching the same number of Fremantle games as Melbourne games. I will be rooting for injuries and one sided umpiring. I wish them the same luck as any team based in Buffalo.

Ok...... Let me go again. Barracking like a lunatic. 

I’m not familiar with the meaning of “death riding”. But a tennis commentator just said he’d spent all week death riding Djokovic. I still don’t know what it means.

Deathride in this context is to be wishing on the downfall of whatever teams pick you own, not really sure where it originates from but has become the common phrase used in pick swap scenarios. You'll find various threads on other footy forums 'deathriding' other teams i.e Swans have one for Hawthorn, as they own their 2nd rounder next year

Peter Bell liked using the feather in cap phrase to describe his many trade 'wins' & accomplishments  

 

Here's the answer I got from adonski, @Fanatique Demon, to this and the feathered cap aspect.

I think the best we can hope for is Freo to finish 7th - 9th.

I think this coming season 
Crows 
Bombers 
Giants
Suns 
Hawks
North
Port
Saints
Eagles
I think these nine teams will only trouble each other, Port, Crows and the Suns might get the odd scalp but that’s about it.

Port will improve this year (JHF, Rioli) and suns are getting closer but can’t really argue with the rest

He's one death riding, het flying, wheelin and dealin son of a gun that's for sure. 

Freo 10.6.66

I'm having a hard time keeping these aligators down! 

We have not even seen 1 round of 2023 and some comments are predicting Fremantle to drop but there is a major difference between practice matches and the real thing since coaches experiment during this period to see players play in different positions.

Fremantle has a very good onball players who as the season progresses will get better with games since most of them are very young.

I hope they drop but no matter what we have 2 first round picks and 2 second round picks and looking at the herald sun this morning there is a lot of players to like in the top 40.

Midfield unit is too good to drop completely. Question is definitely going to be about where the goals come from, still expecting top 8 from them. 

A fit Dixon will also give them something to kick to. I would put them ahead of Carlton to make the eight.

he's right about their forward set-up. Lobb gone, Fyfe always injured and Taberner battling. Jackson a good option in the ruck but no way can carry the goal kicking burden. They will struggle to kick scores to win matches this season. No finals this year i reckon (and hope)

Edited March 1, 20233 yr by BDA

based on what i saw on friday night, no matter how impotent the dockers forwards are, they'll still have enough to beat st kilda.
