This is one of the most embarrassing performances I’ve seen from a Fremantle team. Giving away dumb free kicks, double fisting the ball away with no opposition in front of you, kicking into the man on the mark, skills just useless.

Totally agree

Does Sean Darcy know the rules, he seems to think you’re allowed to manhandle your opponent in the ruck contests. Here’s a tip big fella, try using some of your ample bulk and out body your opponent.

Freo's current predicament can be put down to a very long injury list to some extent but I point the finger squarely at Ross Lyon. He was brought on board to win a flag after Mark Harvey developed a pretty good squad and failed. I can live with that but what I won't accept is his lack of bringing players through to keep Freo in the top 8 over several years like other teams including WCE, Sydney, Geelong and now Richmond. Whilst those clubs have slipped over one or two seasons then got back into finals contention, Freo has been in rebuilding mode now for 5 years and is no closer to playing finals and that's not J Lo's fault...it's all down to Lyon and his cronies.

Lyon did some good things but his legacy should be the fact that he put the club back years. The poor suffering Freo supporters who have stuck with the club during this period should be applauded...that's loyalty.

Don't disagree with what u have said bc, but the single most factor that cripples the success of freo is it is simply not a destination club for players.

Under Lyon there was little to no development of players. Nobody comes to freo unless it's for money. Look at the history of trades, actively collecting second stringers from other clubs.

Tim Kelly knew it

My own opinion, they need to get rid of the purple jumper for starters ...

Appears Fremantle haven't sourced a replacement for Sandilands.. Add no Fyfe & they have huge problems.

There is nothing wrong with the Fremantle jumper and I think we’ve got one of the best away strips, simply reversing the colours. At least we don’t feel like we have to fiddle with it from year to year. Lost count how many jumper design, logo and colour changes West Coast have had. They can’t even make up their mind what shade of blue they like best.

Fremantle’s No 1 target in next years draft has to be key forward local lad Logan McDonald. They can piss a few of the current tried and failed off to bolster their draft stocks and make a play for Tim English.

West Coast change their jumper design and colour for marketing and sales as every time there's a new iteration supporters feel inclined to buy the most updated clothing line....good business for mine.

lets be brutally honest... its a girls jumper. I can't think of another outfit in mens professional sport that looks more feminim.

Fremantle need to stop drafting in players from other teams, it doesn't work for them, they need to develop players.
