Clarify my statement. “We” didn’t train. I sat behind a desk the last 6 months. I couldn’t last 5 minutes on a footy field. Just being aware how entitled that last statement was.

Did we train over the summer to only compete for 3 quarters while the rest of the league trained for 4? If it’s fatigue, that’s a very disappointing answer.

As someone who can’t attend the games live, it’s nice to see what does go on. That said, a win wouldn’t hurt.

This is the Melbourne beat when it comes to Freo. That said, those stories rarely ever come from nowhere. There’s always a player manager behind the scenes stirring the pot.

That’s exactly what we need. The young stars need to be banging on that door every chance they get!

I remember JL jumping into the seats followed by several other players. Then there was a big bloke carrying a kid on one shoulder that bounded down the stadium steps to get close to the players in the stands. That was one excited dad!
