It's always been a player vote, where they pick 1 to 5, and apparently it was nearly a coin toss between Mundy and Fyfe last year.

But they didn't need to shove him at the back with Sandi for the leadership group photo

Fyfe still hasn't signed, so there's still an incredibly slim chance he could be dislodged from Freo

That said I reckon they will announce a new deal within the first month of the season if not sooner

I think (hope) once the new players agreement is put in place that he'll sign up, at least he's making the right noises at interviews about being excited about the next 4 or 5 years :shrug:

There's a bit of chat that the Freo CEO might make the jump over to the Hawks CEO position at some point, hopefully after Fyfe signs.

I think 60% chance of Freo finishing bottom 4 is a bit rough, if we had the same team that we had for all of last year then maybe, but not with Fyfe/Sandi/Johnson/B.Hill/McCarthy and the other new guys in the side.

It makes me laugh that people still trot out the finished 7th thing. Besides the fact that we won four finals in a row, we went into the final match against Freo not giving a poo poo because Adelaide laying down like bitches after losing Sloane meant that winning would have made no difference on where we placed.

I'm just glad you guys Pav a win in his last game

If Freo can string more than two kicks together, we look alright, but there was so much slaughtering of the ball in the middle of the quarter.

There is some wilfully stupid poo poo being said on SEN this morning, Gary Lyon and Mike Sheehan demanding to know what the difference is between Jobe getting stripped of his Brownlow and Cousins not. Hamish had to quietly tell them one was suspended by WADA and the other wasn't.

SEN is always like that, it's just manufactured controversy to get the bogans listening


What on earth has happened to Freo? They don't look a whole lot better than last year


I don't think any game plan would have survived the awful kicking/handballing of nearly every Freo player last night. Freo looked rusty as hell, and it wasn't helped by playing a Geelong side that setup really well, and heavily exposed Freo with their hard rebounding footy, we were completely outplayed.

Cam McCarthy looked great when he could get his hands in the ball with a little space. Geelong put so much pressure on in the middle that ball movement in the forward line was way too slow allowing the Cats to fill any space unforward, then rebound hard when Freo eventually gave the ball up.

The point was made during the call that Geelong were letting the Freo outside mids get inside and just waited for the opportunity to get it on the outside with their numbers which just cut Freo up.

Also Pav is a good commentator.

I'll be very surprised if Harley plays more games than Morabito at this stage.

At least Ross has swung the axe dropping Dawson/Suban/Pearce/Sutcliffe/Griffen and bringing in young blokes like Hughes/Grey/Balic/Logue. I would be incredibly happy if Pearce/Dawson/Suban had their contracts payed out tomorrow.

It's more that the ruckman we've tried since having sandi have turned out to be duds, and we recruited griffin to fill that slot when developing one hasn't worked.

The latest one we're trying is Sean Darcy from last years draft, 201cm already 111kg, time will tell if he makes it.
