Hayden Young joined Lisa and Russell in the studio where they talked about last weekend's win against the Bulldogs which has been described as a scrappy game, Hayden gives the guys his thoughts on it. Plus, he's told us that as fans we can get excited about the Dockers finals hopes but as a club, they've still got a job to do.

It was rarely pretty and it took us a while, but we found a way to break the dog clog. Time to Restump Podcast the minor premiership securing win over Bevo's Bullclogs.Apparently Bullies coach Luke Beveridge had no specific plan or intention to ensure our forward 50 metre arc resembled an RSPCA adoption dog shelter! The crowding and clogging “just played out that way.” Rightio Bevo, and bank robber Bill had no plan to roll the bank, he just donned the balaclava and shotgun to do his daily banking and it, “just played out that way.”To be fair to the dogs though, once Aaron Naughton was ruled out, they had no option and their only chance was to implement that clogging strategy, whether they care to admit it was intentional or otherwise. However, in doing so they actually did us a favour. If the dogs played their usual high offense game we would have destroyed them by half time, given their known struggles to defend and the cattle they had out. So, we were forced to endure a different contest, weather the pressure, adapt, persist and find alternate pathways to victory. Yes, it was predominantly ugly but we still manufactured moments of Milan catwalk worthiness.The game gave Murphy Reid a taste of the close checking treatment he's likely to get more of and, unsurprisingly, he's already made inroads into how to deal with it if his 23 possession second half is any indication.The armchair dingbats taking a dislike to Paddy Voss simply don't understand the Freo system and the selflessly pivotal role he is performing. The sheer volume of cages he is rattling on and off the field points to the possibility he is at the peak of his pervasive and protective powers.Is it no Bont, no dogs? Did Marcus Bontempelli have an off night? Or was it the engaging tactics of the imposing Hayden Young that put the clamp on the champ?The effort and the dedication to the journey Oscar McDonald have undertaken to get to his career best game, is worthy of praise. However, while he superbly played his role, there's no confusion or cause for hesitation, Brennan Cox walks straight back into the team.One man whose role and position are well and truly secure is Karl "Marx" Worner. He had the makeshift dogs forwards on a leash and ended up the highest rated player on the ground.We ran the dogs into the ground, we chalked up our 18th win of the season and we got through unscathed. We then watched Sydney scrape home over the Saints; we saw Hawthorn fall over the line again the Roos and the Josh Fraser revitalised Blues put the 3-peat seeking Lions to the sword! Everything is coming up Millhouse!It's all getting very real! So, we need to come together as a collective, remain calm, be measured and have some composure... is what we'd call for if we were a boring, self-obsessed, joyless, egotistical, purist fan base! But we're not that rabble of a rudderless mob up the road! We get involved, we get loud, we enjoy every moment, celebrate every thrill and we ride this magnificent juggernaut to whatever end!So, for all that type of hype tripe, dig in your heels, lock in your knees, hang on for dear life and join in the conversation to give and get a purple cheerful earful on the pod!Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Lukey Ryan loves to operate with time and space, but even he never thought he'd get to take a leisurely stroll in the park and stop for a cup of tea during a game! Time to Restump Podcast the tiptoeing through the tulips win over the Kangas. The Kangaroos just absolutely skedaddled. It was as if Luke Ryan was on the back of 4X4, armed with a spotlight and a Winchester! Was there divine intervention? Not since Moses parted the Red Sea has a safe and spacious passage to the promised land inexplicably appeared!It was a remarkable record tumbling day down at Bunbury, brought about by the contributions of both teams. You don't win 12 straight if you're not a serious outfit, but you don't destroy any opponent by 120+ points, hold them to just 3 behinds in a second half and put on 19 goals on the bounce without their deficiency assistance. However, at the same time, you can't manage such a feat if you're not rolling out an airtight functioning system and combining it with a relentless worth ethic and an insatiable hunger. Is there another ruckman in the league whose teammates willingly handball to? Maybe Brody Grundy but it'd still be due to a lack of comparable options. Hayden Young's first thought is ‘get the ball to Luke Jackson!' Even Luke Jackson's first thought when he gets his own ball is to handball to Luke Jackson! He is the AFL player prototype and unless there's a relaxing of the ethics and laws around cloning, he's going to remain a one-of-a-kind collector's item. We gotta talk Sammy Switkowski. JL's Einstein, the sharpest man in the west and I'm pretty sure a former Sale of the Century showcase winner! He's taken 9 injury plagued seasons to get to 117 games and he's potentially in his career best form. His work rate is unquestionable and on Saturday he saw personal reward with an equal career high three goal feat, something he has now managed three times. With two of those occasions coming this year, he's a vital piece of the September puzzle.I know we've won twelve on the bounce, we're twelve and one for the year, we're top of the tree, a game clear of Syndey in second, three and a half games and thirty percent ahead of the Hawks in third and 3/1 favourites for the flag…. but, for mine, the hype from all corners of the industry is a little uncomfortable. There is an unwanted element of forgone conclusion commentary about us and it's just a little bit unnerving. Yes, the ship has to leave the safety of the harbour at some stage but that means navigating unchartered waters! Give me back our comfortable underdog status, remove the intense magnified focus and let us return to our familiar footing of flying under the radar! Oh, who am I kidding, it's like a Tupperware container…. even if you could find the lid, there is no putting the lid on it. The lid is so far off, we can't even see the lid! The lid is in outer space! So, we live now, we throw cautious optimism to the wind and go mental enjoying the thrilling journey and we worry about any possible unwanted consequences if or when they arrive.We'll all take a breather over the bye, but before then, there is still plenty of purple praise to promulgate. So, put on your pants, pour yourself a piccolo, pitch in, park yourself on a plush perch, press play and partake in the purple prattle on the pod. Send us Fan MailSupport the show

As Vossy always says, "everything is just a mindset." When it came to taking down Callum, will was key! Time to Restump Podcast the Friday night atonement.On a Friday night in May just over 12 months ago at Marvel Stadium we suffered an inconceivable 10 goal belting at the hands of the St Kilda stranglers. It was an insipid performance, one that had every Freo fan at wit's end. But what felt at the time a near West Coast Eagles type depth of despair we'd never surface from, amazing good came from it. It turned out to be the shock wakeup call we needed and the catalyst for absurd change. Fast forward a tick over 12 months to another Friday night in May, this time in WA, and the same Saints tried the same suffocating assault on us.But the times, they are and have been a changing. This Freo team of soldiers now deals with heat. We love heat, we eat heat for breakfast… ok we heat things up and eat them for breakfast, but you get the point. We've grown, we've matured and we've improved. We can now weather the storm, we can dig in, grind and then we can counter punch.Friday night was an important test for us. Sure, I hear what you're saying, the Saints aren't top of the tree? But the fact is they were far from that last year. They can though drive you into the ground and pressure you to distraction in true typical Rosco Lyon style. If we were unable to mentally cope with the pressure this time around, then our potential premiership hopes were all but a shattered dream.The fact is we couldn't really have been more impressive. We went toe to toe with the Sainters pressure for 3 quarters and then in the final term, class won out. The Saints threw everything at us and at one stage they got out to a 3-goal lead. Last year we may have panicked and capitulated. This year when we find ourselves in such a position, we see opportunity and respond with, “challenge accepted.” Arguably what was most pleasing was being able to perform and win in that manner without the reliance on Caleb Serong, Alex Pearce and Hayden Young. You can't remove three players of such prominence, importance and impact from any team and be unaffected by it, except it seems we can! It's always said you learn a lot more from your losses than you do your wins. Given we've now won 22 of 27 games since that fateful Friday night in May 2025, that must have been one hell of a lesson!There's no time for any laurel resting or momentary complacency though because we've got another big box to tick this coming weekend. After two beltings on the bounce, could you face the Brisbane Lions at a worse time? ‘Beware the wounded Lion' has never been more prescriptive.Lyon last week, Lions this week... what are we playing in the Serengeti?Anyhow, while there's no time for the club to stop and head wobble, there's always time for fans to strut after a victory! So, if there's a pep in your step and glide in your stride, join us as we swagger through Friday's cathartic consecration on the pod.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

In more ways than one, you can't have a smother without a mother and Luke Jackson just ensured it's a dual celebration! Time to Restump Podcast the harvesting of the Hawks.Thursday seems so long ago, yet the Wharfie Time signalling chiming bells continue celebratory ringing in my head. We got the test we needed against a formidable opponent, in the form of the Hawks, and we aced it. Consequently, any trace of a doubting Thomas tendency is now terminated! What a thrilling and thoroughly entertaining game it was. It wasn't 3 minute bursts here or there like we have been performing in recent weeks against lesser opposition. It wasn't working out to a lead before cue in the racking it. This was a 4-quarter high skilled, tactic changing, pressure fuelled grind in which we were better for longer. It took some doing but despite the Hawks enjoying a 22-point margin half way through the final term, it felt one goal either way was the open flood gate difference. But late in the piece when there were nervous tension and uncertainty about whether we could raise the level required to get it done, those Wharfie Time church bells sounded! The instant activation of the Freo folk on the field and in the stands, turned the stadium into a giant spine-tingling electrical field, signalling caution to the wind be thrown and sparking inherent motivation.We've grown up as a team. We can handle pressure and dish out physicality; we have a great complimenting role balance across the board and seemingly a game awareness at all times. We now possess the ability to change things up and adapt on the run if need be.Case in point - The first half we extended the Hawks exclusive use of the corridor and provided them the equivalent of a police escort. The result of which saw Jack Gunston feast and poor Lukey Ryan and at times Brennan Cox left holding the bag. But there is now a hunger for change when things are going sideways. The identification of the issue and the rapid responsive buy in to collectively protect and guard the Fremantle fairway in the second half, was Hawk chokingly productive.Are we getting our Paddy Voss back? There were signs the passiveness is perishing. The ironically defensive job he delivered on James Sicily cannot be overstated.And what about Michael Frederick! Freddy just Krugered the Hawks, slicing them to bits as he rolled out his career best game. But do we get there without Caleb Serong's second half? Josh Treacys brutal contest winning competitiveness? Or would we all really be enjoying Monday without Luke Jackson's absurd period of mind-blowing dominance and that mother of a smother that had to be seen to be believed? We're now 8 on the bounce and we've just knocked off a major adversary. While other hopefuls may rear their heads, we've still got the Brisbane box to brand and the Sydney space to swipe, in terms of current contenders. But after Thursday we'll happily meet those subsequent challenges with a pep in our step and a glide in our stride.It felt like Thursday was a pivotal point in our end of season endeavours and we got the answer we were all hoping for. We're in rare territory so we make hay while the purple sun shines. Come for the celebration and stay for the conversation as we relive our handling of the Hawks.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

If that was the trailer for the upcoming ten to twelve season series of Young and Younger, pass me a pen and point out where to sign! Time to Restump Podcast the downing of the ducking dogs.We've seen prolonged purple patches and periods previously suggesting the Hayden hysteria was warranted, but, after Friday night's performance, it's official. Forget about their work around the ground for a moment because we don't want to suffer a celebratory overdose, but Hayden Young and Murphy Reid's antics in front of the Sean Darcy toothpicks was the height of absurdity!Murphy Reid destroyed the ancient Egyptian sun dials and timekeeping techniques with his scintillating siren snatcher, while Sir Isaac Newton is now questioning everything he thought about physics after Youngy's banana bender from the boundary. However, while their highlights steal the spotlights, Sammy Switkowski deserves a ton of love. His first half work and 2 important goals kept us in the contest. And let's not overlook the magnificent game from Karl Worner who not only defended and marked everything that came his way, but partook in numerous offensive plays.As a team, we seem to be surviving on bursts at the moment, and of course on Boltons, but is it a sustainable 4-point business model? Take nothing away from the thrill and excitement of the victory and the manner in which it was secured, but did we allow it to become a tougher task than it should have been? Let's be fair to the Bulldogs, they were injury ravaged, depleted and the walking wounded. While he probably only needs one of them, Bontempelli was on one leg, Ed Richards was under a cloud all week, Tim English was underdone and, with all due respect, their backline consisted of Coffield, Busslingler, Selwood and a guy called Buku.Again, similar to last week, you can only beat who is in front of you and we are making that a habit, albeit against lesser opposition. But can we continue relying on operating in bursts and letting teams back in? I'm just not sure we can regularly escape suffering bouts of opposition scoreboard assaults in quick time against better credentialed opponents.Last week Carlton kicked 5 goals in 7 minutes against us to almost cause us a disaster. Friday night the Dogs came back half way through the final quarter from 28 points down to get within 5 points. Don't get us wrong, we're loving winning and it is exciting football, but that is unsustainable! We're now 7 and 1 after a third of the season and we've set our year up magnificently. But on some level, we are yet to face a test of the current best. This coming Thursday we'll get answers and a much clearer picture of where we are.However, we probably shouldn't rely on bursts of freakish dominance or leave doors open late against the Hawkers. Anyway, right now it's about just enjoying the moment. So, if you're still reminiscing about Friday, and looking for like-minded Freo folk to join you in calling the ridiculous high tackle free kick count a load of Bullduck, your search is over. More adulation, plenty of nonsense and a sprinkle of balance on the pod.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Frankie Valli and his four seasons is no match for Chris Scerri Scerri Baby and his first season, and you can't change our minds! Time to Restump Podcast the imminent making of amends for round one as we take on the new look Melbourne Dees in round two.What a great result for Chris Scerri and his family to nail down a debut only moments after landing a contract at Freo. The odds of making it through the supplemental selection period and getting onto a list aren't high, so you really need to show plenty to achieve it. He's obviously done exactly that and more to land not only the contract but a debut before his higher profile draftee colleagues who occupy the same position.While we're celebrating Scerri's inclusion, we go in unfortunately with the forced change having lost Hayden Young to hamstring concerns. Youngy pulled up with some soreness and a minor tear, but who knows, according to Caroline Wilson, he may just be whinging.Is there a chance of a late change? After just 44% game time last week and training away from the group in the later part of the week, could we see another purple debut in the form of Mason Cox? Despite the help from Jackson he'll receive, do we really want to go in with an underdone Darcy against Max Gawn?The Dees look a new and freer outfit. Aided by former Saints stalwart Jack Steele, they moved the ball through the likes of Harvey Langford and Caleb Windsor with speed and purpose against the Saints and capped off their work well in front of goal. Jacob Van Rooyan and the dual panels on the Picket fence up forward looked scary and the addition of Brody Mihocek has been a good one. The club is certainly not the 2026 struggler we all thought it may be after losing Petracca, Oliver, May and McVee. We got a taste of what we're capable of last week in the first quarter against Geelong. However, we also got more than a taste of what we're capable of in the following three quarters! So, if we serve up a repeat performance of that first quarter effort and extend it for a further quarter or two, we will see our first four points. With the conditioning run under our belts and the home ground advantage, we're Looking forward to what should be an entertaining contest. So, as a quick game is apparently a good game, suit up, make a list of your whinges and join us for a short 30-minute preview of the must win encounter.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Time to Restump Podcast the curious case of the custodian and the clash against the Cats!Despite his recent performances in the WAFL preseason and his own assurances that he's good to go, the longtime walk-up-start has been passed over. We have to take Justin Longmuir and his reasoning on face value that Luke Ryan has somehow dropped a peg in the pecking order, but with the Cats possessing a tricky and versatile forward line, wouldn't we sleep a little easier knowing the chippie was chiming in? The first game of the season is upon us, and those familiar feelings have returned. There's an ounce of anticipation, a hint of trepidation, a tablespoon of fear and a boat load of excitement filling the pot of the emotional simmering stew. We're heading down to the Cattery, otherwise known as the field of fictitious finger fractures, to right the round one wrongs of twelve months ago. Have we learned from the mistakes everyone in the team, except Murphy Reid, made that day?After no word or contact, we sent out a search party during the preseason to find the Disco. We just needed some proof of life but there wasn't a blip on the radar and the silence was deafening. However, Nathan O'Driscoll must have been hiding in plain sight, because round one comes along and ‘hey presto,' he's back! He stuck his noggin up and got the nod. It proves Disco never dies; when it's not centre stage, it's existing in the background ready to reemerge.With O'Driscoll, Sean Darcy and Switta returning, joining Hayden Young and Brandon Wallker, it feels like the members of the band, the Red Hot Injury Peppers, have reunited. We welcome Wagner and Worner back, we have Judd McVee in for his first official game in purple for premiership points and we're always glad to see Alex Pearce, with or without his whiteboard. Not going to lie though, while Oscar MacDonald will fill the void to some degree, without Brennan Cox and Luke Ryan's reliability, it feels we may be a little vulnerable in the last line of defense. However, we go in full of faith our favoured forces will formidably fight the feline fraternity. While Fictitious Finger Fracture Field is quite the home ground advantage where few away teams fare well, it holds no fear for us knowing we've won five of our last ten appearances there.It's time to parcel it up, put it all together and ponder the plight of our purple platoon on the preview pod. So, if you're showing some Docker drivel decibel deficiencies, bring your ears and we'll fill your purple prescriptions. Send a textSupport the show
It's time to remove the unnecessary risks. Bubble wrap him up, put him in cotton wool and cryogenically freeze him for a week and a half if we must! Time to Restump Podcast the purple proceedings at the Cockburn quarry.What can we really take out of the practise match against the Adelaide Crows last Saturday other than cases of third-degree windburn? It was above the 2025 vanilla-ish preseason performance, but it understandably contained some going-through-the-motions as well. A solid conditioner? We're on countdown to round one and all eyes and focus are on the health of the Freo fleet, especially the defensive unit. While Luke Ryan may need a shoulder holder and a few more miles in the aging legs, we're on cattle watch with Coxy and the Captain as they deal with their calves. The midfield depth is something to behold. Hayden Young has been placed into protective custody and they're fine-tuning Jackson's juggling act. With Murphy Reid's seemingly absurd growth, has Matty Johnson and Neil Erasmus been cut in front of in the queue to more midfield minutes? Is everything Kool and the Gang with the Disco? No O'Driscoll mentions, whispers or even grapevine chatter! Do we need to organise a search party? How's he trekking… anyone, anyone… Bueller?Mason Cox hasn't put a foot wrong since arriving at the club apparently and he was good against Lachlan McAndrew last Saturday, which somehow sparked potential best 23 conversations. He's a great pick up for us for specific reasons, but has the preseason distorted his perceived valuation? He's 35 years of age and he spent 10 years at Collingwood averaging 14 games a season. He can tap, he can yap, he can fill a gap and wears a premiership cap! He's the ideal insurance policy and a very good get considering the uncertainty cloud over Sean Darcy, but surely, we're not entertaining the prospect of trying to teach an old American dog new tricks? Jojo is going all out campaigning to have ACDC's TNT reinstated as the post goal celebratory song, but could we go one better and install Body Count's, “There Goes The Neighbourhood.” Speaking of Neighbourhoods, after whatever that display was on Sunday, the West Cost Eagles and their fans are in Liquorice All Sorts of grief! And when that is the case, we show concern and compassion, reach across the aisle and try to pick them up with a supportive Neighbourhood Watch episode. It's only a week and a half until we get underway in round one. Not going to lie, it's a little concerning that the frequency of taking a nervous wiz has increased already! There is more pressure this year and the expectations are understandably off the chart. Rightly or wrongly, it feels such a consequential season.It is often said the best way to deal with stress is to talk it out through incessant nonsensical rambling! And wouldn't you know it, that's our specialty! So, forget your supplements and essential oils, your calming tools, weighted blankets and acupressure mats and just come along for the chat.Actually… maybe bring along a pair of those noise cancelling headphones.Send a textSupport the show

It's often said “A wrong King still believes his crown makes him right.” Give it up Kingy, there's no place left to hide. JL has got your number! Time to Restump Podcast Freo's magnificent September securing victory against the dauntless Dogs.There was barely an institution that didn't write us off. The media, the footballing world, the bookies and my postman gave us no hope. But why? Why was so much analytical weight and judgment placed upon the loss to the Brisbane Lions a week bacl? Was our previous 3 months invisible? Did the pundits not even bother to watch the Fox Footy mini's?Justin Longmuir got on the front foot though as he was having none of it and he wasn't shy in letting them know. However, let's hope they all double down and write us off again in 2 weeks' time. In real time, we'd all be lying if we said we didn't harbour some minor concerns half way through that first quarter. But we'd seen that movie before several times in recent months and, more often than not, it had a favourable twist. Stop, take your hat off and give the defensive collective an acknowledging nod because we were able to build that win on it's ability and relentless efforts to weather the Dog's high pressure, 19 inside fifty storm. It kept us in the game when others couldn't. The individuals were remarkable. No one does what our defensive delegation did to Sam Darcy!Depending on how you view it, its either worrying or pleasing seeing Andy Brayshaw and Caleb Serong combine for just a 5 possession first quarter. Worrying because they got destroyed, but pleasing because we were still able to win centre clearance for the quarter and set up four scoring chances. Hayden Young, take a bow!The Dogs did well at trying to rattle our cages early with their pressure but we dealt with it, we regrouped at quarter time and then we let go with a scintillating period of footy that saw us put an uninterrupted run of 8 goals on the board.Sure, the Dogs have some defensive deficiencies but our forwards were phenomenal, showing no mercy in exploiting the advantage. Everyone got their unhygienic lick of the what would now be germ riddled ice-cream. But even contracting covid was an acceptable risk if it meant seeing Jye Amiss in the embryonic stage of a return to some serious form!If you put your hat back on, can you please remove it once more as we have a moment of respect and marvel at Murphy Reid yet again? Everything he touches turns to gold… or rather goal. It's not too often that a first-year player becomes irreplaceable and a vital cog in the team wheel. It's done, pull your dress down Mary, the shows over. All bets are off… just give him the rising star medal!And while our hata are still off, give a nod of appreciation to Bailey Banfield who has reinvented himself in a meaningful way.While we appeared to be cruising to victory, the Dogs are too good a team to not mount a comeback. On the back of the magnificent Marcus Bontempelli, he dragged them back to somewhat within striking distance late in the final term. Yes, Ok, a nerve or two crept in, but we're not that same old Fremantle team anymore. We weren't letting this September securing victory slip through our fingers. Bring on September!We didn't put too much weight on last week's loss to the Brisbane Lions and their win over the Hawks justified our position. So, likewise, given the Dog's record against top eight teams, we're not getting carried away with the win over them either. Having said that, it doesn't mean we're not bouncing off the walls excited about being part of September this year!So, you know what to do.
