Two home finals and this team is a GF contender imo but, will/can they?

Top four bound it seems playing like this

Well done Dockers, built a top team, now for finals!

Bloody boring to watch AFL wont want them in the finals lol

@kilbluff go back to the Essendon board.  I bet you havent even watched a Freo game (except when we play the bombers) You just rattle off the same old shower that the media pushes out.  It was a wet and windy day here in Perth but yet we still managed 10 goals.  You're just upset that Essendon are behind Freo on the ladder.

Back on topic - Top 4 is enough IMO

I don't know why people think low scoring games are boring.

I think the intense pressure and defence that Freo brings every week (regardless of opposition) is some of the most entertaining stuff in the league.

They are exactly the team you want to watch when finals rolls around - close, low scoring contested games are a lot more fun than 20-goal-a-piece shootouts.

Credit to Freo and to 'RTB'. They have fashioned a top 2 team in the competition. If you can knock Geelong off at Kardinia next week, I would just about lock in top 2 and I can't see you losing a home game to miss the GF if you manage that.

Look forward to it, a Fremantle/Hawthorn GF would make for nice viewing. The most irresistible attack against the most desperate defence.

geez sorry mate no need to take it so personally

I am sick and tired of everyone saying the same shower all the time when they havent even watched a game.  Everyone just assumes that because we are coached by RTB then it must be a boring game.

2 of the top 10 moments for the week come from the Freo game (Walters goal of the round, Fyfes mark of the round).  Everyone loves a bit of biff and there was plenty of that in the Freo/North game on the weekend as well.

Freo v Geelong this weekend should be the match of the round - how is that possible if we play boring footy.

Um I did watch the game yesterday until half time but it was boring so I put the Geelong game on

I find relentless tackling and pressure quite exciting actually  ;)
Was a great day yesterday and we will beat the Cats this week

Top 2 is definitely on the cards
Geelong AWAY
Saints HOME
West Coast HOME
Richmond AWAY
Adelaide HOME
Carlton AWAY
GWS HOME
Melbourne AWAY
Port HOME
Saints AWAY

Not a bad run home at all
Geelong have Sydney, Hawks and Us in their run home. If we can knock them off this week we are a genuine chance for top 2.

It will be even better (not) hearing the Eagles crowd for that game too. They will all be silent and then resort to booing the umpire and picking on Swift.... Oh wait, I mean Masten or Gaff

I forgot to mention all the comments about "if we had our best side on the park"

Embers wont be there this week to pick on - he will spend some time on the sidelines for his stupidity on the weekend.
