I feel like I'm back in the 90s tbh. Fast high scoring footy, no club dominating for more than a season, contending for 2-3 maybe, but never being in with a realistic shot of more than two flags, due to the huge amount of fluctuation of clubs rising and falling from year to year. Rule changes fostering a style of footy that can aid 'young' lists built with speed in mind to contend and fall away very quickly. Time will tell I guess. But the 2000-2020 period feels like a different era now. Things changed so slowly.

A few HTB/Fend off calls might have swung that Port Prelim!

How many would they have won with the high fend off rule being used?

That and we want any actual premiership contenders vying for a top 4 spot, to lose.

Not sure the competition is ready for Viney and Pickett on an oval with a brick wall for a boundary

We need the equivalent of a BANG BANG BANG right now. I guess that's a FLARE FLARE FLARE?

We're back baby

Better now than in 8 minutes. Gives the Suns time to mount some kind of challenge

This is the weekly Fremantle Match Thread. The NON MFC will have every other game?

"Let's just run Rowell, Anderson and Miller ragged in the middle for 4 quarters" Dews gameplan might be even worse than Longmuirs

You can't rely on GCS for anything. Just merge them with Norwood right now, let them be eaten and absorbed by the locals

Lever has done enough gathering round Adelaide. Bloke deserves a rest

They should throw him up forward

They probably would've benefited from having Riewoldt in that forward line, ironically enough

How to start a riot: Make a 'Would Richmond have won a flag if they payed the high fend off on Dusty?' post on BigFooty

Hate the Tigers as much as anyone, but I'd rather they snuff out the Dogs hopes, and we can take care of snuffing out theirs on Anzac Eve. The Dogs as far more dangerous, if they can get some momentum going for their season.

What they are saying at Cockburn:

People in the future will look at 2023 in their history book and ask "Why did the Dees receive Priority Picks after winning the flag?"

The solution to Freos forward line woes is to play Justin Longmuir

That was just Matt Lloyd bitter over Daniher leaving the druggies.

John Gastev to get 30 and Roger Merrett to kick 8

The Bulldogs and Dockers

Nope. Teams can't trade more than 1 draft year ahead. Which is unfortunate for us when dealing with Freo!

I wouldn't mind Freo's 2024 1st for Tom McDonald though
