Death Riding Fremantle 2023 - Feathered Cap Edition

[Whispering_Jack 30,019]

Okay death riders, here’s the bad news. Freo’s narrow 1 point loss was enough to lift it one spot on the ladder which means that Melbourne’s notional draft picks gleaned from the Dockers are now 6 & 24 instead of 5 & 23. Let’s just hope the Weagles win the Derby.

Propaganda.....!

 

Maybe if Freo didn’t go and dump 5 experienced players for Jackson, they wouldn’t have such an inexperienced team.

Justin Longmuir strikes me as a bit of an emotionless type of coach. 
I wonder how connected to his players he is?

Meanwhile, at Fremantle.

I was thinking the same. I’m sure Freo supporters will will be kind and not go too over the top at this early stage. 

Clearly an opening for the artistic types you’d think.

Spud shed or dud shed?

In any event, “we grow it, you save.”

It's a real 'Moneyball' approach that looks like it's been created by a computer. 

There's every chance this becomes a step back to go forward year for them. A lot riding on this derby.

like post 2018...

Wonder how Jackson's family are feeling seeing this? They put ample amount of pressure for him to return only for their son to be back page for being [censored].

They don't hold back in WA..

I want Freo to collapse in a hole this season but seriously, that's a very over the top subtitle. Shocking and horror. He's 2 games in!

Welcome to the hell hole that is WA. Name the last player that went back there on massive coin and delivered.

No Action Jackson. I have to admit I chuckled when I saw that headline.

Tabener has to be the most frustrating forward. 100 games, 29yo and he didn’t even have a scoring shot when he is their main target

him and LJ as the key talls is the worst fwd line in the league by a mile

Not true at all. I have it on good authority (q sarcasm) that BBB and TMac are totally cooked.

They hold on to a lot of other things though.

That article is virtually saying there is no position for Jackson.  Lord knows where Freo will hide him or where to play him.  As an aside, wasn't it well known he didn't like and didn't want to be a forward? 

He is used to being protected and lauded at the dees.  Over there he is exposed and hunted.  The kid must be wondering what has hit him.

This trade could be the worst 'own goal' in a very long time:  Bell gets the feather in his cap but messes up his team. 

I wish Jackson well but would love to see Bell squirm!!

Neroli Meadows posted that we should be laying off him. Lots of Freo supporters agree, lots are saying you take the money you take the hits.

I'd say a collective we but more specifically Freo supporters.

“No action Jackson” 😂 ok it got a laugh out of me. 
Honeymoon period didn’t even make it to week three. I have no ill will towards Luke but I’m happy for this season to be a disaster for him and the Freo club. 
If he continues to struggle then those around him that have been advising him would want to take a long hard look at themselves. 
Kossie take note- leaving the Melbourne to go play in a two team town is a bad move.
