I wouldnt want to sign him up for more than 3 years Think about how quickly Green fell from grace? I wouldnt want to be payign Cloke 1.1 million in 5 years time when he might well be past it

yes but in the same way as people on Demonland are still blame Danniher for not investing in youth soon enough, or our recruitment from 5 years ago and Bailey's coaching for our current woes, Connely and Scwhab are the whipping boys for Freo supporters.

the ferals from the port city dont like loosing at subi, they're allready calling the talk back lines complaining about why they got rid of harvey for Lyon etc. Probably similar case to the fans that were/are unhappy with Neeld

looking forward to the club getting on the front foot and signing up a few of the boys so we dont get another saga in the same vein as last year

the west australian public only want to listen to stories if they have an element of eagles/dockers to them. Plus the WA footy public love to lay blame on schwab and connelly for anything they can

I was listening to Sports Central on Perth radio 6pr last night (3AW sister station). Brad Hardie said that the word on the street is that Pies have offered Cloake 3 years @ ~750,000 a year, Dockers @ 900,000, and Dee's 1.1 mill. Then they also discussed how the demons seem to get into bidding wars with Freo and insinuated that it had something to do with Schwab and Connelly?! Think that’s a bit farfetched, but they seemed to think us making a play for Clark and now Cloake is an ego trip for Schwab against this old club not sure if it has any merit

We had hodge at training and now Chappy in our 22?!

The problem is, until people stop reading / watching it all, the market will only get more saturated with opinion pieces and "expert analysis" by ex-players and any other bloke who reckons he knows what he’s talking about. I can’t believe Fox can have so many programmes purely on Footy. When you think about it, it’s no real surprise that you get rubbish journalism or articles based on a hunch rather than fact, when the bulk of the newsworthy stuff takes place over the weekend leaving an entire week for speculation and innuendo

there is a reason the Kangas are the side people talk about when they slag us both and say that we should merge!I'd say they cop it pretty hard from the media too, maybe not to the level we have this year though.

their outs last time were similarly as bad as they will have again this year. Im hoping for a pretty big effort - after the win against the bombers, and the preseason win against the pies, plus leigh brown and Neeld's knowledge, im hoping for another upset!!

Id play the best 22 against GWS, need to win that one!

haha true Jack anthony kicekd goals playing for the pies!!

i'd prefer to raid their midfield stocks, but getting cloke wouldnt be the worst thing although the thought of him in our jumper makes me sick

Looking forward to Gysberts getting a run in the seniors at some stage this season

someone has hacked olddee's account or he's still sipping single malt!

old dee will be most disapointed!

Agreed. Great write up WJ.

Haha

Well if its not the purple jumper its the club song, specifically the widley unknown 2nd & 3rd verses We’re the rollers We’re the rockers We’re the mighty Freo Dockers! We’re gonna roll ‘em and we’ll rock ‘em We’re gonna send ‘em to the bottom And if they get up, we’ll do again The Dockers stop at nothing – nothing Freo, way to go! Hit ‘em real hard, send ‘em down below Oh Freo, give ‘em the old heave ho We are the Freo Dockers! Dock dock Dockers Show ‘em how we rock (Freo heave ho) Dock dock Dockers Show ‘em how we roll Go Dockers, Go Go Go!

thanks for the transcript mate Hey old dee, your mate #7 must be keeping his key elements above 6 points each quarter!

Gysberts, Jurrah and even Jetta should all be holding their spots in the best 22

Freo have always been pretenders. I think its impossible to have any pride in a purple jumper, the players demonstrate this year after year That being said i'd prefer their win loss record in 2012 than ours.

No i cant, but i'd expect that they both 'train the house down' and follow instructions/play a specific role for the coaches. Not saying that it means they are valuable contributors or that i think they deserve to be picked so regularly, but the coaches must have a reason for playing them?
