Nah its not.

I love them in the same way I love SDFC.

Hey btw I was up in Midland today for work, had a haircut at Tonys Barber Shop on Spring St, that joint should be heritage listed.

If Ballentyne gets another go then I will loose complete faith in Ross. Hope we get the McGovern from SA

I am not sure just why the club re-signed Pearce, but he has not given a heap this year and next year he will give even less.Maybe he is very good at teaching the kids about the way the game is payed.I don't know.
Sharky I am a bit disappointed that you have had a crack at Swan.I thought we were going to get a real discussion without that.

Well anchor, if you, swan and the rest of the freo supporters are hurt by my flippant comments, I guess I have to apologise. After all, we live in a PC world now.

But back to the topic, I agree with TFAF and if freo re-signs Ballantyne then they're nuts - he's done. Personally, I hope they do.

58s I am a member of one footy club: Swans. I disagree with yours and TFAF's assessment of Ballantyne.

You're entitled to hold your opinion swan. I am also a member of one footy club and an Eagles supporter.

Suttcliffe needs to go never been physical enough and his disposal efficiency has dropped right off the last couple of years. Johnno looks cooked, Sheridan just a depth player, I would probably hang on to Clarke now because he's got no trade value so I would just wait and see how he comes back. What were they thinking when they signed Danyle Pearce for two years? He's got to go.

Players who may not be there next year
ZAC DAWSON - has h e officially announced his retirement
GARRICK IBBOTSON - has retired
NICK SUBAN -I would keep him
TOM SHERIAN- I would keep him
JONATHON GRIFFEN- I would keep him but think he may not be retained
MATT TABERNER- probably will be traded
HARLEY BALIC-wants to go back to Victoria so will hopefully traded
BRADY GREY-has shown a bit this year so I would keep him
ZAC CLARKE -out of contract and has been out all season I don't think he'll be at Fremantle next season
CAMSUTCLIFFE- has been inconsistent but will probably remain at the club
MICHAEL APENESS-has been injury prone and hasn't done much in the games he played may be traded
MICHAEL JOHNSON-past his best may retire
JOSH DELUCA-has struggled in the games he maybe delisted
SAM COLLINS-I would keep him
SHANE YARRAN-already gone
MATTHEW UEBERGANG-injury proned maybe delisted
any thoughts or comments

Apparently Nick Suban has been delisted now. That was probably on the cards given that Fremantle have some depth in the midfield.

With Weller and now Suban gone there is zero chance Naughton,Hayse or Brander will be picked up by Freo, draft picks 2 and 5 will be mids.

With their key defensive stocks basically being a banged up close to the finish Michael Johnson, a banged up barely ever on the park Alex Pearce, and a smallish Joel Hamling they'd be crazy not to pick up Naughton wouldn't they?
