Asked myself why the loss of Jacinda Barclay was hitting hard. Simple answer. She mastered 3 sports, she helped build the AFLW and her personality was infectious. Yet she thought the world would somehow be better off without her. Check in with your mates. It’s okay to not be okay

Honestly the most Fremantle thing to do would be to go and beat Sydney in Sydney without Alex Pearce then lose a winnable game on the run home to equal out the Dockery equilibrium. Shades of Melbourne’s 2022 17-game winning streak at the MCG about today.

They call it Dockery.
Fremantle has been notoriously inconsistent this year. They’ve taken it up to teams they shouldn’t but lost games they should.

West Coast’s apparent media strategy: say something so outrageous that it detracts attention from a 70-point loss.

Devastating. If one knock is all it took to end his career, what does that mean for players with three or four concussions on their record? Individual safety is paramount but what a frightening time for footy.

We just witnessed a moment of individual brilliance at Freo match simulation. Jye Amiss with three or four efforts inside 50, trying to gather the ball under pressure, spilt it, won it back then snapped it from deep in the left forward pocket. Spectacular.

Penned some thoughts on the AFLW fixture. Safe to say it got a bit spicy.

Unfortunately no real surprises but sounds like a suspected ACL for Oscar McDonald and a bad hamstring for Brennan Cox. Fingers crossed for both of them that scans suggest otherwise. And a speedy recovery for Karl Worner. Footy is cruel.

Statement win for Fremantle. Aine Tighe is such a valuable focal point but putting the likes of Gabby Newton and Laura Pugh around her makes the forward line so dangerous. A victory forged on pressure and some awesome transition. Aish Mac and Mim Strom massive.

Too tall? Nat Fyfe, Josh Treacy and Matt Taberner combined for just two goals, one mark inside 50 and three tackles between them. St Kilda ran the ball out of defence with ease. At best, Freo's forwards slow. At worst, lazy even.

One for the Freo nuffies.
When Nat Fyfe speaks, people listen. So when he said that this was the most talented list he’d seen at Freo, it resonated. From 2015 to now, we deep dive into how the Dockers have built what they believe is a premiership list.

Not only is Freo's current playing list they most talented it’s assembled, it’s also the most dedicated. The Dockers currently have 11 players signed until 2027 and beyond, making them the second-most committed club in the AFL.
