They took their complaint,rightly,to the AFL,told their members and public of their disappointment over the decision,then let it ride.
The players were left to play,and keep the Lyon Mantra of the three anys.Then let the fans and members of the club carry on the fight.
To Steve Rosich and Steve Harris and the Board of the Fremantle football club, thank you all for being so professional in your approach to this fiasco.
This is an issue I know we would not have handled so professionally a few years ago.
To the players well done and your professional attitude shone right through out the issue.Again I know a few years ago our side would not have handled this so professionally.Well done boys.
I think at long last we have become a real football club.

Dead right Anchor, a very professional performance both on and off field. I havent seen the Cats as rattled as that for a long time and it was demonstrated with the behaviour of Johnson and Selwood after the final siren

Was a strange reaction from Johnson and Selwood, like spoilt brats, especially Johnson in that instance and when Mayne tapped him and he fell down like he was shot.
I think they were so confident that Freo would fold, that when they didn't, they couldn't handle it. The effort was sensational, I put some money on Freo but wasn't all that confident, it was more a "just in case" bet. They are now set to go further than any other Freo side has gone before. Lyon is a master coach.
Sorry they have already gone further, they can go all the way to a GF and who knows what can happen then.

I was a bit in the not sure basket when we lost Johnson for the weekend.But still held the faith.
I believe that we can go all the way.
How good would it be if we played Port in the GF!!Stick it up the Fat Greek.

I think that all the Freo members shoukd add the big D to their Christmas Card list. The contempt shown by him certainly was a huge motivation. Similar scenario for Port and the president of Collingwood.
