    How is at unravelling? By delisting a bloke that wasn't getting a new contract and is out injured or was it the re-signing of one of the better young mids (which according to hackdorn wanted out and was leaving).

    when its making the media about rehab programs etc there is certainly some truth to it you would think . If that's not enough evidence for you surely the last 6 weeks cannot be ignored. But then again average is the norm for Fremantle. how is it unravelling all you have to do is open your eyes

    I struggle to believe anything I read/hear in the media today. Its good to see players starting to call them out on some of their ****. Internally the club seems happy from what I have seen, the footy has been poor that's the only thing factual. The others stuff is just noise drummed up by irrelevant journos trying to get themselves heard.

    Seriously???? "Internally the club seems happy" and you think the recent reporting is just a media beat up? How could any club ever be happy with 1 GF appearance in 25 years??

    There's the problem...You have highlighted it perfectly...People within Freo Club are happy for the current results to happen. Where as there are not too many clubs who'd say after being in the top 8 halfway during the season and then falling away badly to miss the finals for 4 years in a row, that we all seem happy!!!!!

    Thanks for providing that beautiful bit of clarification

    :-O :-O :-O ^:)^

    Peter Sumich is the Dockers saviour, with Jarrod Schofield as his assistant. You heard it hear first.
    RTB's early payout will be money well spent.
    At the very least with Kim Hackdorns best mate Suma at the helm, the press may cut the Dockers a bit of slack. The days of the Docker "chip on the coach's shoulders" are gone. :D

    Why not Dean Laidley and Scotty Waters???

    They need someone who is out of their comfort zone, from the east coast - so they want to get results and head back east.............AND... Has worked alongside Clarkson, Simpson, or Longmire

    No Names Deto. I'm a sick man and don't need a court case to tend to as well ;-)

    And they are only rumours anyway, cos they have to get rid of RTB first

    Are you a "sick man" Rio or are you sick.

    RTB will be gone at the end of the year. Take that to the bank.

    Peter Sumich was one of the assistants in the Dockers 2015 GF year.

    The end of the next year he walked out on RTB because he couldn`t work with him. Since the 2015 GF Dockers have gone backwards.

    Suma guided the under 18`s to the championship this year. He has intimate knowledge of all the young available talent in W.A. If he was coaching Dockers, would Naughton be playing in purple ? Would Clarke of Geelong be playing in purple ?

    Suma said before last years draft that Sydney Stack was the best and most talented  W.A prospect in the draft. Not sure who Dockers picked up.  

    I am on the Suma train. Toot Toot

    My mistake Village. Well picked up.

    Fantastic day of footy today.
    Well done Freo. Fantastic result. Couldn't be happier.
    Dockers probably cost themselves a couple of high ranking draft picks.
    Dockers possibly helped us have a sniff at top spot.
    Dockers have probably got RTB for another year after that win.
    Dockers members searching for their disposed of membership cards only to be throwing them away next week when the Saints bring them back to earth.
    Sandilands could be given another year.
    What's there not to be happy about <:-P =)) :D ;)

    Had no issue with him seeing it out before the win. We have improved on last year and if not for injuries would be playing finals this year.

    Dockers have their best win for the season. Beat the top team and barely a whimper from their supporters.
    That suggests to me that they are realists and the win was a flash in pan and they know it.
    Especially when they have to back it up next week on the eastern seaboard.
    Am about to watch the RTB press conference and hear some more spin from the spin doctor.
    RTB is the pied piper and Bell Roscic Alcock and co are trailing along lapping it up. Love it !!!
    Dockers have stuffed so many things up that they can't even tank properly.

    surely you are not comparing your injured players to JK, Darling, Allen, Hurn and McGovern ???
    I will give you Pearce, but the rest ???

    I wouldn't mind going - check out the ladder leading cats doing some circle work.

    Only circle work was the Dockers running rings around the ladder leading Cats.
