We won't interrupt Jimmy Aish, he's currently occuPied. Time to Restump Podcast preview our ridiculously anticipated semi final against the Maggies at the Gee! What an opportunity and experience awaits us! 90k plus people, predominantly Pie fans, are about to cram into Australia's Colosseum to create both an electrifying atmosphere and the most hostile of environments. Its one thing to be playing a semi-final. But to be playing a semi-final at the MCG against Collingwood…. some Danny Zuko vibes... I've got chills, they're multiplying! If you're not in possession of a bucket of nerves, a bag of apprehension and a boat load of excitement, check your pulse because you may not be alive.After the monumental comeback against the Dogs, we're going in with an unchanged line up. Only 4 of our starting 22 have previously experienced something of this magnitude, so the remaining 18 are sailing into unchartered waters and are about to suffer a monstrous culture shock.You have to feel for Matty Tabs. It had to be a difficult decision to leave him out and we'll find out if it was the correct one. Can James “Mr Fix It” Aish fix up a few of his former colleagues and will Mr September Sonny Walters continue asserting his supremacy? After steering the ship last week Andy Brayshaw and Caleb Serong have to pad up and head back into battle against Scotty Pendlebury, Jordan De Goey and Jack Crisp with the help from the Gold Coast gift.But don't for one minute overlook the man who has played in every single final Fremantle has ever been in, except one. The legend who doesn't know how to play a poor game, who has plenty left to give… the peerless David Mundy. Upping his game time will no doubt ensure us victory.Collingwood lose Taylor Adams who ripped his groin off the bone, something I can't even say without wincing. Not only his groin but Collingwood's team have been weakened by it.Remove the parochial noise and you'll see the teams are extremely evenly matched. Could the ultra-hostile environment the Collingwood fans will create and our inexperience be the difference? Neither team will lay down and until that final siren sounds, neither team will be safe. Enough of this here…. let's continue the purple love in the pod as we try to dissect the battle and attempt to work out what might unfold.So, if you're looking for someone to provide a calming presence and some words of composure to ensure we don't all run our race prior to Saturday….. you've come to the wrong place! We're buzzed up and in danger of our purple hype filled zip lock bags spilling over!But click play anyway and join us on our rare journey to the Gee in September. We ride til we've died.

Shaun was treated to a few nice pressies for fathers day but the kids still managed to let him down in one small but significant way. How did you go?

You can't do that! Second career game in an elimination final and Jye was as cool as a Busselton cucumber. Ryan Crowley couldn't have rattled him! Time to Restump Podcast the unfathomable Freo victory.All we can say is, how? You just can't do that! 41 points down with a tick over a half of footy to play and we somehow found a way with a team possessing barely a single final of experience between them. We averaged around 68 points per game for our last 6 games and we had to find 41 points in a just over a half of footy to just draw level, without the dogs kicking a single score! And we had to do that without our best forward and a replacement playing just his second career game. And we did! We somehow orchestrated a 54-point turn turnaround…. what kind of purple sorcery is that! How sweet was it to see Sonny Walters back to his former typical big game best? However, he couldn't do what he did if a couple of young ridiculously talented hard nuts didn't do what they did. Andy Brayshaw and Caleb Serong somehow went to another level, a level, given their age and experience, that should almost be classed as unfair to the Dogs!When you look at those two guys in particular, you have to say Phar Lap suddenly has a couple of challengers for the world record size of hearts! If that win and all it represents doesn't overly satisfy the harshest Freo task marker, then give the sport away because your unrealistic and unfair expectations will never be met.  We've been starved of this feeling, we live for this, we're doing it for Dave and for Nat, we're allowed to dream, live in hope and we say why not us? But whatever unfolds and however next week results, an elimination final victory with such a young inexperienced team put the icing on a successful season's cake. Let's get into the game and relive the extreme emotional rollercoaster of Saturday night. We're still running on adrenalin so we'll aim for composure but not getting carried away reminiscing and dissecting the inconceivable purple performance.... we cannot guarantee. So, if you're still buzzing…. Join us for this 60 minutes and come along for the recap before we look towards the ride to the G. 

Holy sh*t…. WHAT A GAME. Can they do it again this weekend when they face the Pies at the G? Steve Butler calls through to give his two cents on everything Freo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They've carried the team for decades so it's time to return the favour. It's the Restump Podcast preview of our monstrous do or die elimination final against the dogs!It is true absence often makes the purple heart grow fonder. It's been 7 years since we've seen September action and I don't know about anyone else, but for yours truly, the anxiety is already building and the nerves are kicking in.  Being an elimination final, it increases the pressure knowing it's ‘do or die' in terms of our season. However, if you're trying to remain calm and composed its probably best not to think about the additional stakes on the line…. that this is potentially the great David Mundy's final ever game. What the hell are we doing…. trying to cause mass mental breakdown! We're not pessimists… we're going in as glass half full folk and not because it will probably be filled by the rain tomorrow night! (Yeah, way to go Chief, way to be ironically optimistic! I'm sorry…. I'm a nervous wreck… and I'm also obviously going mad because I am talking to myself!)We bowled over the dogs 3 weeks back so that should provide us some confidence and comfort, but we all know finals are a different bag. They surely won't give us the time and space like they did under the roof at Marvel so it will be a case of same kennel but different dogs.As has been so often this year, over our ability to score is where the dark cloud hovers. The magnificent surprise inclusion is our round 8 debutant, Jye “Nev” Amiss and what a moment in time and opportunity for him. Could Nev provide us with an adaptation of our own Marlon Pickett moment? So, the whole season has come down to this Saturday night. It has been a highly successful year and we achieved the preseason goals set out. But to have it end Saturday night would still feel like a dagger through our purple hearts. Considering he was a career dog and now a recent Freo acquisition, we did our best to get Bob Murphy on for a brief chat. But the apparently nationally loved, the supposed man of the people, the claimed common folk's champion…. snubbed us. He said, through his people, “no can do, I'm too busy.” He gave us the generic... too busy! Bob is more creative than that!So, we can't bring you Bob's insight, his repartee and we can't put him to the blowtorch to really see where his deep-seated allegiance truly lies. We're not suggesting anything untoward… but matters of the heart can do strange things. You either bleed purple or you don't!However, if you want a chance at winning two tickets to Saturday night's game, listen to the pod for instructions and come up with a better excuse that Bob could have given us. Quite simply we just can't wait for Saturday night. But between then and now, if you're looking to keep the momentum going and increase the purple noise, click play and join us as we talk everything Freo finals…. Let's just say that again… Freo finals! 

As the Dockers head for their elimination final this coming Saturday, the heat is turning up on the footy club with Flagmantle inching closer and closer to becoming a reality. While a few of the players appear to be single pringles, we're looking at you, Sean Darcy. Some of your favourite players are unfortunately off the market. Although Fremantle is known for having a younger squad, many of the boys are also boo'd up and have been for some time. The West Live producer Kate Ryan and Ben talk about some of those WAGS, and why they're kinda uncomfortable doing it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The road to Flagmantle is paved purple. And Purple fever has officially hit Perth.  Freo fans are getting more confident in talking about Flagmantle as the dockers enter finals. At The West, we've decided to look back at the history of the Fremantle football club. And who better to take us through it than Fremantle historian Les Everett.

Fremantle Dockers young gun, Nathan O'Driscoll, joined Scott Cummings & Tim Gossage to discuss the Dockers' chances in the Finals and his thoughts on receiving the Rising Star nomination for Round 23.

Down back defending, organising, up forward kicking goals in Canberra… the honourable Alex Pearce took on more roles than Scomo! Time to Restump Podcast Freo's top 5 securing win over the Giants.He assumed the Ministerial roles for defence, for planning, up the ground on the spacious wing he was the minister for parks and recreation. On Jesse Hogan he became the minister for transport and main roads and when he ventured into unfamiliar territory and kicked a goal…. he said give me the minister for foreign affairs portfolio! While we're all about David Mundy, and rightfully so, we couldn't be happier or more thrilled for Alex Pearce, who will finally play his first finals series in his career. (nobody move for two weeks… we don't want to jinx it)What a weekend of footy! After a degree of lethargy and uninspiring effort early, we managed to get over the top of the Giants in what has to be said was somewhat of an encouraging performance. after quarter time. Did we allow complacency to creep in early on? To be fair, we were minus Lobb and Taberner and then losing Griff before the bounce…. wasn't ideal. But it was more so the lack of energy and urgency that was of concern. The fumbling and ball watching didn't aid the early cause either.However, with about 10 minutes left in the second quarter the purple people came together and when Sonny Walters laid that tackle 25 metres out, went back and slotted his second…. energy levels got a boost. Coming back from 31 points down is a feat in itself.Ironically with a forward line deficient of talls we went on to kick 89 points, our 2nd highest score in the last six weeks. Caleb Serong played a monster, Sonny had a ripping 200th and it was good to get a run into the captain. Quite simply though in the end, we did what we needed to do. We waited and watched Sunday's games hoping for a favourable result to fall our way but as close as we got, it wasn't to be. But regardless of top four or top eight finishes, what a season we've put together. 15 wins and a draw from our 22 games and we now play finals for the first time since 2015. If anyone suggests we haven't exceeded our expectations… you're a tough marker and you're probably an eternally disappointed person! We go over the weekend's game, the good the bad and the indifferent, we talk the Sunday games and what nearly was and could have been, throw around early discussion on the Dogs in two weeks' time and we bring it home with the return of the Ask Jojo segment. Later this week we'll post the hour-long chat we had with the great Ryan Crowley, so hopefully that is enjoyable for all. But before then…. friends, romans, countrymen… lend us your ears for these 45 minutes of packing up the successful purple home and away season.

Did Sean Darcy just tell everyone to stop ‘Medaling' with his number one ruck position? Time to Restump Podcast review the hotly contested win over the Eags. Well, I for one didn't see that level of heat coming. While harmless, it created excitement and inserted some electricity into the atmosphere. It wound the clock back a little and showed there is still some feeling in Derbies. The result mattered but it was the hit out we got that was of most benefit. We didn't want to head into finals on two soft wins so the fierce contest was just what the Docker Doctor ordered. It was such a fitting occasion and emotional moment for the great David Mundy…. Fortunately, the wet weather hung around so many of us male Freo fans were able to say I'm not crying, it's the rain in my eyes!   There was a lift across the board, Sean Darcy took giant strides on his way back to his best, Caleb Serong showed a grit and determination for the club and his teammates that we wish we could bottle and Sonny Walters shut up and take my entry fee money!The only hope the Eagles had of winning was if Jack Darling had one of his rare days out. The magnificent Alex Pearce said, yeah nah that won't be happening.But bigger picture wise it was most pleasing to see Blake Acres get back near his super form prior to his hamstring injury. It's a vital position and we desperately need that level from him. Sure, we didn't exactly display the art of accuracy but was it by design? The Eagles are keen on the number one draft pick so we didn't want to aid them by destroying their percentage? Obviously, we jest because who wouldn't want to see a wooden spoon head their way!     Defenders were rock solid without the big numbers this week but with the Eagles having just 44 inside 50's the defensive unit weren't stretched. That said they kept them to just 12 scoring shots and one was courtesy of Caleb's 150 metre penalty!Enough of this written stuff, lets get into the conversation and cover all that and everything else that possesses even the slightest shade of purple! Click play, jump in… join in… the purple water is warm.  

Not getting ahead of ourselves but surely the $1.11 solves all the inflationary pressures! Time to Restump Podcast Saturday's walk in the park.It doesn't really have that Derby feel. In fact, I can't recall a more lacklustre week leading up to a derby. The build-up has been non-existent as it seems much of this year the Eagles have run with Homer Simpson's “can't win, don't try” philosophy.There's been no banter, no cheap shots no angst... sure we've got bigger fish to fry but there's room for all to coexist! Having said that, if we want to potentially take any top four opportunity that may arise, we just need to keep our heads, allow Andy Gaff to keep his head for the foreseeable future and just bag the four points. We've got two more games that aren't going to deliver finals like intensity so we have to keep that in mind. We don't want to wander into the first week of finals on the back of two soft wins and drowning in complacency, so we need to bring the energy.Like Hawk's coach Riley said in before the playoff game against the Mighty Ducks, “it's not worth winning if you don't win big.” Now I'm not sure we need to go that far but we should be looking to put the eagles to the sword. That said, do we really want to destroy their percentage and aid their campaign to secure pick one? Lets put away the four points convincingly and what will be will be. Switta is back after a seriously busted back, Jye Amiss plays his first game back with Peel this weekend and Sean Darcy has been in contact with his future ruck forward teammate, Luke Jackson! And we've made some progress with the Clampaign! Everything is coming up Milhouse.So, while there isn't the buzz around this Derby there is still plenty to get excited about. Click play, get our rubbish in your ears and feel free to join the conversation. We don't only subscribe to Ross Lyon's ‘failure is feedback' theory, we're open all feedback. 

On a day that shocked many supporters, Freo proved what it is capable of with a resounding win on the road. In this episode, we analyse the GBD and whether we are the real deal come September. We are not jumping off the Top 4 train just yet, but it is fair to say that #Flagmantle will rely on a few fixtures to go our way.

Did Lobby ace the interview for his new employer or what! Are we back? Time to Restump Podcast review the top 4 door opening win over the Dogs.What a difference it makes when the forwards function productively and cohesively and your two big targets actually lead to space or at the ball carrier? Oh, and kicking straight always helps. Credit when it's due… Rory Lobb put on a goal kicking master class. We turned our recent form around but continued our magnificent Victorian form on Saturday, putting the dogs back in their kennels. That's now 7 games in Melbourne this year so far for 5 wins, a draw and 1 loss. Who is this Fremantle team?We showed the pressure, the intent, the urgency and finally the mid forward connection. The Dogs aren't exactly the hottest defenders but we rarely gave them a genuine look in and we constantly kept them guessing.Luke Ryan never plays a poor one but he was back to his All-Australian best. He must have a crystal ball because he knows where the ball is going to land in his area before its been kicked! And speaking of getting back to hot form… hello Caleb Serong. How good was it to see the Disco back! Nathan “Disco” O'Driscoll had only played 7 career games so it sounds ridiculous to say it, but geez we've missed his run, his bite and his goal sense.  It was truly a game where everyone stepped up and we collectively returned to that cohesive roleplaying team of individuals.The much-needed win just ensured we're playing finals tis year for the first time since 2015, but it also slightly opened the top four door as well. We need to win our last two games and then hope a few teams above us, namely Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, lose at least one of their remaining two. But that is literally getting ahead of ourselves so let's reel the rhetoric in or we'll rightly have coach JL putting as tight a leash on us as we did the Dogs Saturday. The Doggies win has put the pep back in our step and the glide back in our stride. We're all up and about with a sense of possibility again. So join us as we bask in the Bulldog victory glory, we momentarily place the finals in the background and have a celebratory chat about our wonderful purple people.

Despite Freo's horrific three weeks up forward, we won't see Sammy Sturt on the Marvel dirt. Time to Restump Podcast review the daunting assignment against Rory Lobb's future teammates.  We're a bit disappointed this week as its seemingly becoming a bit ground-hog-dayish on selection day. While Sammy Sturt isn't the second coming of Christ, after three team scores averaging 7 goals a game, it appears we've opted not to address or even tinker with the dysfunctional forward structure. However, JL and his selection posse know more than us and they're providing the opportunity for the forward crew to dig themselves out of the hole they've found their way into. To be fair, the Bulldogs do leak score at times so it is probably the game to forward the forwards a week's grace. On paper you look at the Bulldogs names and they terrify you on nearly every line. Yet you then look at their form and it doesn't quite equate. But you get the feeling they've recently watched, Carlton, Richmond and Melbourne bring the heat to us and, consequently, we should expect fire and brimstones.We don't want to limp towards the end of the year and cling on to a top eight position so we need to turn things around Saturday night. However, the Bulldogs want to force their way into the finals so there is no doubt they'll be on.Its great to see Disco Nathan back as he might provide the bite on the wing that we have been missing recently. And hopefully Darcy Tucker can reproduce his damaging accumulating possession and goal kicking Peel form and prove a positive replacement for Trav Colyer. While Dave Mundy has called time on his career and the club is using it as motivation, we would have thought the prospect of playing finals and potentially a home final would be all the motivation the boys would need. But if we can add in “do it for Dave” and it helps, then why not.Its an unnerving task this Saturday. The Dogs will smell our blood from the last three weeks in the water. On the other hand, we simply have to deliver an appropriate response after that substandard performance last week. Both teams have so much to play for and that makes for a potentially cracking game.We're all on board all the time but that doesn't mean we can't respectfully remove the purple rose coloured glasses at times and have a candid chat about all aspects of the club. Talking things out and speaking from the purple heart is always the therapeutically way forward.  So, click the play button and join us for a 45 minute chat about selections, where we're at as a club, our neglect of our areas of deficiency and the big clash Saturday night.

Thankful for Freddy's mother and smother. We're just being more complimentary efficient than our forward line was! Time to Restump Podcast the lifting of two points off the Tiges.Still don't know how Freddy did that. His smother and Chappy's defensive punch in round one…. pool room material. If Richmond was a bank, we got away with the cash drawers but not the vault. To be brutally honest, we lightened Richmond's burden by lifting two points off them. While there were endless bewildering moments throughout the game that led to the result, the ridiculous two final positive and negative unthinkable moment minutes will forever trump the previous seventy eight.Game saving tackles, holding the ball wins, smothers, shot clock breaches and playing on with all of a second left. It is one for the obscure history books. But after all the befuddlement, the reality is we walked away with two points, we lost a Fyfe and we fell out of the top four. We should write a song about our defenders because once again we're singing their praises. Their collective efforts are astounding but in particular Hayden Young continues to astonish.   But our Achilles heel continues to be our forward line and our mid forward connection. Rory Lobb was sorely missed but the game plan we concocted and the one we executed highly conflicted each other. While it is obviously not ideal the reassurance and the consolation are that with the current 12 and a half wins and 50 points we have, we'd have made the finals in all but 4 of 22 seasons since 2000. (minus 2020) Sportsbet have us at $1.005 to make the eight… and  that should calm anyone who has a few nerves. There is too much to go through the entire game here so join us on the podcast where we go into detail, unpack the extraordinary Friday night and attempt to make heads and tails of it. 

Having our top 4 destiny in our own hands hasn't gone well for us in the past but this time it's different… hopefully! Time to Restump Podcast the Friday night Dockers V Tiges show.Friday night under lights, under the Marvel roof, on the big stage! We're desperate to keep our top 4 chances alive while Richmond has a ton of teams wanting their place in the 8. Add the above to the fact that every one in three games between Freo and Richmond is decided by 12 points or less and it promises to be a cracking encounter.   We talk changes and what that means for the match ups. We've lost a Lobb but a Henry and a Pearce has dropped in. While at Tigerland there's no Dusty or Tom Lynch but a Soldo enters the backup ruck arena. With the loss of Lobby, its grounds for thinking the inform Lloyd Meek might sneak in to give Darcy a chop out and allow him to go up forward. We need a lift across the board from all individuals because if we deliver Friday night what we served up last Saturday… sayonara top 4!Got to keep Daniel Rioli in check and stop his run, Jayden Short through the middle can hit the scoreboard and God help whoever draws the short straw to play on Shai Bolton. But one in all in, we can get it done as a collective!We know we shouldn't but we cover the rubbish Hagdorn and his SEN outrage journos came up with this week, we probably mistakenly wander into the Daisy Pearce saga and as always we chat all things Luke Jackson. Cannot wait for Friday night, our season is alive and well, our top four hopes are hanging by a thread…. Its all up to us. Well not us but us as in them, our them or their them or is it they them or they're our them?…. Oh for crying out loud, you know who!If you're into nonsense like that… and why would you be… there's plenty more where that came from so click play and jump on in, the purple preview listening water is warm. 

After Griff's game, we need to secure his signature and get him presenting lectures down at Cockburn on adaptability. Time to Restump Podcast our tough to take loss to the Swans. Was there a game at Optus on Saturday night or a Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch concert? Marks everywhere! The Swannies racked up 138 marks for the game, largely with our assistance. After quarter time they took 64 more marks than us… over 20 more per quarter. The warning signs, or should that be Warner signs, started flashing in the second period and the resulting fears materialised over the second half. After quarter time, the mids copped a bath and that didn't help the defenders. The wingers provided no outlet or run and the Swans walked the ball out of our 50 metre arc effortlessly. A young Chad Warner gave us a lesson and who does Errol Gulden think he is kicking goals like that, Disco Nathan?We can all handle a loss, God knows we've had plenty of practise over the last 25 plus years, but it was the uncharacteristic manner in how we lost this one. So much on the line, so much to play for and disappointingly we fell down in what we stand for, team defence and offensive pressure. To be comprehensively beaten, yet kick the first two goals of the last quarter to go nine points up… an added effort needed to be raised. There was no such raised effort forthcoming. In fact there was little effort delivered, raised or otherwise.The shining light was the swingman's performance. Griffin Logue can hold his head up high as he blanketed Buddy Franklin. Had Griff not slipped on the Optus Stadium ice rink, Buddy would have turned in the duck eggs. But again, this is a successful season. Its far from over and we've shown enormous growth to date. As we always say, growth isn't linear. The reality is we're in the embryonic stage of a long period of sustained finals success. Sure, we need some tinkering here there and a bit more up forward, but we're a solid unit on the up and, top four or otherwise, its highly unlikely we're not playing finals this year.So, join us as we put things in perspective, part the problems and pick out the purple positives. They're few and far between in that game Saturday night but we're not rolling over just yet. 

One minute you're on the band saw, next minute you've got an All Australian jacket and 100 games under your belt. Time to Restump Podcast DJ Luke Ryan's 100th in the clash against the Power.Big game for Luke Ryan in his 100th as it is for Nathan Wilson in his 150th. But individual accolades will have to wait because we've got to somehow turn the Power off while managing to keep our top four faint flickering light on. We've got a trick up our sleeve though. We'll turn the Power of and switch to solar because we've got Sonny conditions! That's right sports fans Sonny Walters is back and geez we missed him last week. Port Adelaide have only just been travelling for most of the season but the return of Charlie Dixon four games ago and Connor Rozee's rise up the ranks has seen them steady up and regain winning form. We were pummelled in the midfield last week against the Blues and it won't get much easier against the likes of the experienced big bodied Travis Boak and Ollie Wines. He might not be back to his best or in tip top match fitness condition yet but we might need you Fyfey!And the big man, Sean Darcy, in the middle has been a bit off in recent weeks but he gets his chance to dominate the game against makeshift ruckman Jeremy Finlayson. Port Adelaide have only won 7 games this season. They have won 6 of their last 7 so they're in decent nick, but of their 7 wins to date, just 2 have been away from the Adelaide Oval. They have won 5 of the last 7 games against us but only 2 of those games have been played at Optus Stadium, of which we won both. We haven't played Port Adelaide at Optus in over 3 years so it really is foreign territory for them. We're back to the old Sunday arvo time slot so it actually should feel familiar for us! However, lets kill some time, have a chat about the clash, praise the milestone men and bring it home getting to know the great man Brett “Jojo” McDonnell a little better with another Ask Jojo segment.  

Did we just hit the Wall, up against the Lygon Street Lads? Time to Restump Podcast the end of year tax loss against the calculating Carlton Blues. It's the end of financial year time and fans are attempting to claim their memberships as tax deductions. So, despite it being a boat load of ridiculousness and making no sense, is it beyond the possibility that we had too many capital win gains and Saturday was the opportunity to bank a strategic capital tax loss prior to the 30th June?   A loss that is difficult to take does weird things to our minds in our endeavours to find reasoning and or excuses. But the reality is the Blues turned up and gave us a hiding. They outran us, outmuscled us and outworked us.   In the midst of the momentary ruins, the light shines brightly on the defensive unit. How they managed to restrict Carlton to just twenty scoring shots from relentless and clean supply with little to no help from the mids restricting the flow or even the forwards applying any sort of pressure, could well become one of the mysteries of the world.To be fair to our mids, it wasn't due to lack of effort. There are times in life where you simply have to dip your lid in respectful acknowledgement of a supreme performance from your opponent. When the Carlton crew are in that frame of mind, enact damage control policy instantly, if you're on the receiving end!While we were really never in the game, it does feel like the four points opportunity that got away and, based on our fixtures on the run home, with it our top four finish fades a little. But bigger picture, we've probably exceeded expectations already this year so keeping authentic perspective often ends up being the emotional balance we all need after such an individual defeat.That said, we're not dead by a long way and to reach for a Ross Lyonism, “It's never as bad or as good as it seems.” So, we've got eight games remaining, we need about five wins to be a chance at top 4 and probably two more wins to secure a finals berth. We get Sonny and Chappy back, Fyfey will get some spectacles so he can spot his teammates, Freddy gets off the booze, Bailey puts on the sub vest and we're off to the top four races!So, if you're like us and you need to dissect a game from eleventy different angles, grab your scalpel, put your safety glasses on, click play, join us and get involved in the conversation because what we'll come up with, will be far from Sciency.

Griff to Charlie, Alex Pearce to McKay and we should be off to the bank with a 4-point deposit. (probably 3-points taking inflation into account) Time to Restump Podcast the Blues bash on Saturday.If we're a genuine top four finisher and premiership contender we have to put away the defence depleted Blues. Lose this game and suddenly it paints a shifting picture.The Blues have struggled to contain scoring in recent weeks so if we can capitalise on their deficiencies that end of the ground and quell the scoring power of Curnow and McKay the other end, we should be in good shape. The Blues are 4 wins from 4 games at Marvel this year and each time they kicked over 100 points. Further reasoning why extra focus should be on our team defence and why surely Griff starts back this week.Great to see Matty Tabs return although he'd have to be half a run short. Freddy has finally gotten over his hangover and he's straight back in, so its probably a good thing he's not on the side-lines carrying the drinks! And after a couple of cracking games for Peel, Liam Henry has been handed another opportunity in the absence of Blake Acres.The concerns are the massive losses of Sonny Walters and Sammy Switkowski. Both are vital cogs in the forward set up so Freddy and Shultzy will need to shoulder the workload. They may mitigate some of the loss but there's no substitute for Sonny in his current form!Unfortunately, no Adam Cerra to give constant reminders to each time someone runs by him but there is still a Jack ‘bloody' Newnes! It's simply a game we can win, should win and must win.  It was great to hear Dave Mundy say he isn't leaving until they drag him out of the joint. Can he go another two years and secure the illustrious Mundy4Hundy? If things don't go our way in September can we blame Paul Hasleby for being a destabilising influence? Firstly, he was urging Griff to shift camps to West Coast and now he's got his eyes set on Belly for them? Is Hase on the payroll of the rogues up the road or has he been infiltrated by the clickbait revenue generating SEN business model?What a turnaround! We've 9 games left and we've got 5 of them on the big Friday and Saturday night stages. Time to stock up on carrots. It's a great time to be a Freo supporter. Crips and Fyfe, Charlie and Griff…. Its going to be a great game. It's about a day and a half until bounce down against the Blues. If you click play, we can get you through about 45 minutes of it here but then you're on your own.  

Its official, the bye round stinks and we're glad it's over. Time to restart the Freo Freight Train and Restump Podcast the latest news in purple shoes.The bye round probably came at a good time for a few of our momentarily sore soldiers. But other than for those favourable reasons, the bye round can get in the sea!We're 10 and 3 going into the back end of the season and we need, as a rule of thumb, a minimum of 15 wins to make the top four. Jojo McDonnell has us winning the next three straight so in his book we're virtually a monte to make it.With the tragic loss of Blake Acres to a hamstring, it seems the battle has been set between Liam Henry and Ethan Hughes to duel it out for the call up? But with possession being 9/10ths of the law, does Darcy Tucker trump them both?To avoid injury, it's always preferable to put your best foot forward at, rather than on, peel, and that is what Neil Erasmus is doing. He may have to bide his time but he'll inevitably secure a long-term midfield position. On the injury front we've lost a few troops. Sam Switkowski is a huge loss, Josh Treacy looks like he'll miss a few with the ankle, Blake Acres as mentioned, Nathan Chappy is still a few weeks away and unfortunately it appears Nathan O'Disco has suffered a setback. The Luke Jackson talk is heating up! But there is a bigger question than dollars and years. Does he truly fit in at Freo? If he wants to play lead ruck, sadly Freo probably isn't the place for him…. that said, we'll happily squeeze him in if we can. The conversations will be interesting.In what could potentially be described as JL's textbook display of ‘getting ahead of ourselves' Jojo McDonnell has locked in Hall Of Famer Matthew Pavlich to present the winning premiership cup to us at the G in September. The Chief is being a bit more conservative and wants to wait and see if the Clamp is back from Europe. We unnecessarily give our pointless two cents worth on the De Goey non-scandal, we had a poorly timed Ask Jojo segment and then we bring it home with another Neighbourhood Watch episode.So, after a week off, it's time to saddle up, get back on the Restump horse, click play and listen to this 50 minutes of nonsense on your way to Marvel Stadium… through the desert… if your horse has no name…     Ok enough of that rubbish….  the play button is there somewhere if you want it and its not going to click itself!

Us Dockers are lovers and fighters, which is why we'll love taking down the War Hawks. Time to Restump Podcast Saturday's Freddyless clash against the once mighty Hawthorn side.Whenever we play the Hawks, instantly the painful memory of the 2013 Grand final resurfaces. To be fair, it probably burns David Mundy more than anyone but maybe it's been the motivation he has used to solider on.On top of that we have an atrocious record against the once powerful Hawthorn team, being 11 wins and 28 losses. But this is a new era, we're a new Fremantle team and we head into the battle with a clean slate and without fear or favour. There are no longer any Hawkish monkeys on our backs!We welcome back Sonny, Switta and finally that man Fyfe. With an 80% chance of precipitation, Captain Fyfe might be the umbrella for our recent inclement weather concerns. Let's hope Sam Mitchell's hasn't passed on his former playing day tactics otherwise Fyfey might end up with another Hawk cork!  They're a tricky bunch these young cocky Hawks as they have an air of unpredictability about them. They've beaten Port Adelaide, Geelong, Richmond and Brisbane…. they got within 10 points of Melbourne, almost knocked over Collingwood and they fell by the narrowest of margins to Carlton. That's the form of a team with capabilities on the up, but they can put in a dodgy one.But the stats that allows us to enter the game with a respectful and healthy confidence lie in the defence standings. We're second in the league for restricting opposition scoring while the Hawks are twelfth. With Mitch Lewis out of their side, its difficult to see them kicking a substantial score. Sorry JL we might have just gotten ahead of ourselves.We talk Freddy and his not so sneaky six-day break sip. It's JL's 50th and we take a step back and admire what he has astonishingly achieved in such a short period of time, the ridiculous Griffin Logue talk is increasing, the imbecilic 'trade Fyfe' nonsense is lingering and then we round for home with an interesting Ask Jojo question. Getting us across the finishing line, the Chief, believe it or not, is orchestrating one final attempt at getting Ryan Crowley on the podcast for a special bye weekend episode and he's putting the call out to everyone to join the campaign… or as he calls it, The Clampaign. So, if you're a glutton for ear insulting punishment, pick up a six day break breaching six pack, push play and pass the time listening to this purple nonsense before participating in the Chief's poxy podcast plan.

Geelong, Melbourne and now Brisbane. Once is a chance, twice is a coincidence, three times is a trend! Time to Restump Podcast Freo's eventual taming of the Lions on Sunday. There was something about the Bailey's in that game, Zac Bailey and Bailey Banfield each kicked four but we'll focus on the latter. Straight off the top, you're not human if you weren't thrilled for Bailey Banfield. The serial sub, battling with confidence, got his chance and delivered arguably his career best game when it was most vital. Who knows what happens in future weeks but JL now has an extra headache to deal with, albeit a positive one.From the meaningful game perspective, if you had any doubts or weren't convinced in the authenticity of this Fremantle football club's performances and its trajectory, Sunday surely put your concerns to rest. This was a definitive display that truly signalled this team has arrived. And not from an outlandish “the premiership is ours” perspective, but from a belief that we should fear no team, knowing that we'll turn up and deliver required and respected effort….  unless the weather turns a bit damp. We still need to tick that box!This performance over Brisbane was compelling because the Lions were absolutely on their game, they were ferocious from siren to siren and relentless with their pressure. We combatted it, matched it, upped it and counterpunched our way to one of the clubs most significant victories, and we did it with a team averaging 25 years of age and without a Walters, a Matty Taberner, a Switta and a Fyfe.It is a game in which the unsung heroes rightfully became a little less unsung. The value in being able to turn to and bring in an Ethan Hughes and a Lloyd Meek and have them instantly play at the level they did, cannot be overstated. Quality list depth is invaluable and a key ingredient of long term and meaningful success.  We continue this praise singing extravaganza in the pod, we chat individuals, our favourite single moment, cover what's doing in Fyfe life and bring it home with another instalment of the Neighbourhood Watch. We're already late with this internationally recorded but definitely not renowned podcast, so let's stop banging on about it here and get into the conversation.

With Fremantle ending the 17-game winning streak of reigning premiers Melbourne on their home turf the MCG last weekend, the hype is building the club could land its first AFL flag sooner rather than later. Millsy at Midday host Steve Mills declared on May 2 the Dockers would win the flag in 2022, saying he was occupying seat 1A on his fictional Freo Express and urging club supporters to also get on board. Ahead of Sunday's blockbuster clash against Brisbane and the imminent return of captain and dual Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe, Fremantle CEO Simon Garlick told Mills on Wednesday the Dockers were taking the #Flagmantle hysteria in their stride. "We're bloody excited for all of our supporters, they've been pretty patient over the years, we want them to be as pumped up as they possibly can," Garlick said.
