Hopefully the boys light up the SCG and don't be so reckless, like they were against the Hawks. We'll be downhearted if Errol gets a hold of us! We're in a prelim final! With memory flashbacks to 2013 it's time to Reyne on Sydney's parade again and Restump Podcast the battle to the big dance.We've done the work, we've secured the results and, while we took the scenic route, we deserve our spot in the preliminary final against the Sydney Swans tonight.We're going in with an unchanged line up but are Jaegar O'Meara and Chris Scerri along for a little more than the ride? Could there be a late change? The Swannies have obviously been through the wringer, now losing Callum Mills and Harry Cunningham on top of the Pullman Five! However, that in itself, is a danger for us as there truly can't be any genuine expectations on them, regardless how hard JL tries to claim underdog status.Being free of expectation can throw up some unpredictability. They have gotten further than anyone thought they would, so the shackles are off. This is a free hit for the Swans to take and we need to be well aware of it.Straight away three factors come to front of mind with initial thoughts on the game. Complacency, pressure and Errol. Our Freo boys are only human and no matter how hard they try and how often they tell themselves otherwise, there has to be some level of thought attributed to the enormous names missing from Sydney's team. Too many of those thoughts could have us on the back foot and, in a preliminary final, it's a position we just can't afford to be in. Pressure has at times been our kryptonite. We can be susceptible to it, we know it, the players know it and the entire league knows it. Sydney's only real chance at beating us comes in the form of maniacal pressure and you can bet your knackers it is exactly what they will try to bring. Although Murphy Reid might not be able to stake that bet!Errol Gulden is Sydney's key to the grand final car. Their hopes rest so much on his shoulders. Charlie Curnow and Logan McDonald and Hayden McLean don't get the silver service if we can curtail Errol's influence. But that is easier said than done. It'll be a task performed by committee but you'd imagine Matty Johnson might not have gotten too much shuteye the last couple of nights. It sounds simple but it ever never is. In fact, given what has happened to the Swans, or what they've caused themselves, for us it seems too good to be true. And when something seems too good to be true, concerningly more often than not, it is. We're two and two against the Swans in finals and we're one preliminary final each. We've only been to the SCG three times since 2019 while the Swannies have had to come to Optus on eight occasions against us. However, the reality is none of whatever has occurred in the past matters. Our 2026 form against the Swans means didley! We're going in with a massive advantage and we really should just be winning. There will be no excuses if we don't and the fallout will be loud! Given the circumstances and the match ups, as scary as it is to say, it is just difficult to contemplate we don't win tonight. There is something that feels very uneasy about going into a preliminary final comfortable and confident. So, as we're just hours away, let's rekindle the familiar feeling by throwing some nervous logs on the anxiety fire to heat up the tension on the pod.Send us Fan MailSupport the show
It's true, he is built different! Luke Jackson's heroics proved yet another of the unfortunate and unique season challenges Chris and his Cotton On Cats couldn't overcome. Time to Restump Podcast Freo's feat over the Morris Finance Felines.It was a fork in the road moment for Freo. We could've followed a familiar path and folded or we could've said to hell with that, the post season frivolities can wait.We collectively decided on the latter using the challenge corroded Cats as a steppingstone to the Swans.And while we magnificently ended Geelong's campaign, we have to acknowledge the season of difficulties they had to endure. The odd injury, the exposing of their secret concussion signatures, the fall in beef and cattle prices, the rise in farm equipment costs and the travel burden.I mean they only played 10 games in Geelong this year! They had to travel an hour up the road to the MCG or Marvel a further 6 times! Oh, the horror of the hardship!Back in reality, it was a match of moments and masterful performances delivered by masterminds.Shai Bolton's early minutes of magic, Andy Brayshaw setting the turning up tone from the first bounce running himself into exhaustion, not just the brawn, but the brains of Paddy Voss and who here amongst us can honestly put up their hand and say they were confident Caleb Serong would make that 55 metre monster?And then there was Cool Hand Luke! The man who single handedly snatched a grand final 5 years ago! He returned to the scene of salvation and in another individual act of September supremacy, swung momentum, started a surge and secured the semi.We needed to beat Geelong in a final in 2013 to advance to a preliminary final against the Swans, to make it to a grand final against the Hawks! We've just beaten Geelong in a final to advance to a preliminary final against the Swans where a possible rematch against the Hawks could unfold.It's Groundhog Day wrapped in some mysterious deja voodoo! Take that "lightning doesn't strike twice" guy!We're now off to the Milo tin lid sized SCG to slug it out with the short-staffed Swans.However, we haven't finished scoffing at the sore losing sourpusses, but more we're not done praising the performances of the purple people, on the pod. So, let's momentarily soak up the occasion. Let's enjoy it and appreciate it before we switch the gratitude to attitude and deliver Sydney their swan song.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

We can't allow tonight to be Sammy's finale. He can't end his hard-fought career with a straight sets exit! Time to rapidly Restump Podcast Freo's do or die ding dong against the Morris Finance Felines.The ratio of disappearing fingernails to hours before the bounce is out of whack. If it's a close game, many of us will lose finger tips by the end of it!Not going to lie, we're a little on edge as we get closer to bounce down. I don't know if the frequent nervous whizzing has kicked in or I've got prostate issues!The Cats are going to be an almighty tough task. They're well drilled, superbly coached and they've played more finals that we've had early mad Mondays! Tonight we'll get some clarity on whether our formidable Freo folk are September sufficient or really just regular season rock stars!Can we handle the pressure we collapsed under against the Hawks? Will we see a conspicuous response to last week? Is there any chance of an overcorrection? Do we put Jeremy Cameron in the gun and go after him? It may deliver the Cats a distraction as they try to protect him. Is Bailey Smith the one we should more than corral from the catwalk? Can we see some forward defensive pressure? We can't allow the Cats to walk the ball out of the fifty like Hawks did with ease. Freddy, Switta, Dudley all need to bring unconditional defensive effort.Does Hayden Young pinch hit at half back to help out the defensive unit and provide us run and carry and precise delivery?We have to expect the Cattery will have cooked up some cracks to our codes. So, we have to be composed, cool calm and collected and ready to become counteracting contortionists! We can do this! We've beaten the cats when it counts before. If we need to take out their nine lives, then so be it! Tonight we're at the last chance saloon. Late in the evening when we hear, Time ladies and gentlemen please, last call for drinks, we have to make that final drink count. We're just minimal movements of the stick on the tick tock away from getting underway. So, if you want to settle your system and calm your nerves, get as far away from us and this pod as you possibly can! Send us Fan MailSupport the show

We went in with a healthy level of nonchalance; we injected the appropriate amount of complacency and deliberately ended up lackadaisically horizontal. Time to somehow Restump Podcast that beyond meaningless, going through the motions, self-preservation performance against the Blues. I can't remember a more meaningless encounter. In fact, I can't ever recall contemplating switching off 5 minutes into the first quarter. And we were 3 goals up at the time! And no doubt the players felt the same. There wasn't the attention to detail, there wasn't any defensive vigour and there was just no purple spirit. Even Paddy Voss' attempt at inserting the energetic vibe fell flat. When Vossy can't spark the fire, you know there's more at play.We had nothing whatsoever to gain and too much to potentially lose. We rested Jye Amiss, Sammy Switkowski and Heath Chapman. But why did we stop there? It's been a hell of a long season, so why wouldn't we rest half to three quarters of the best 23, Rosco Lyon style? A lack of soldiers in the WAFL wasn't it! Was a 20-day break too risky? Was it fear of the AFL and their idiotic fake optics obsession?However, we've won 19 games in a season, we've won the minor premiership, we've got the double chance, two home finals and we're not only favourites for, but we're in the best position we've ever been in to win that debut flag. That says the club has gotten almost everything right this year, so who are we to question their decisions!Unfair ifs buts and maybes though, possibly Brennan Cox wouldn't be nursing a torn calf? And given how absolutely vital he is to our chances, you will never convince me there was merit in putting Alex Peearce on a plane to play in an inconsequential formality, especially after the knock to the knee the week before. Anyway, Brennan Cox aside, we got through seemingly unscathed to close out what has, so far, been a magnificent and successful season. We couldn't have achieved much more than we have to date and it's caps off to all involved at the club.However, rightfully or wrongfully, the season's success to date inevitably raises the bar and the expectations. What we've done the last 23 rounds shouldn't be understated or glossed over when reviewing the year, but it is now in the rearview mirror and, in the context of the imminent finals campaign, it counts for noting. We're at the pointy end, largely healthy and in good shape. We've got a little over a week to prepare for what is now a new season. We all start on zero and we're looking to win three on the bounce. Is the All-Australian night now being held in the purple palladium? The numerous positions in the team awarded to Fremantle individuals is a reflection of our remarkable season. And it was especially a stellar evening for Murphy Reid who never seems to walk away empty handed from an award ceremony. He took home the Best Emerging Player award, drawing with St Kilda's Max Hall. Nothing against Murph or Max, and by all means call me a killjoy, but these unnecessary made-up awards are getting a little monotonous! It's becoming a bit participatory! What is this… a seven-year-old's birthday party where everyone goes home with a lolly bag? Yeah ok, self-indulgent rant over.It's pointless probing that purposeless performance, but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty of purple to prattle on about. So, don your daggies, deploy your deck chair, decompress and drop in on the docker drivel disguised as deep dialogue on the pod. Send us Fan MailSupport the show
Time for another edition of the Friday Baseball Show! Stan and Griffin will be looking back at the past week of Orioles play, some rough series against the Rangers and Twins whom the birds are in direct competition with for the final AL Wild Card. Oh, and the road ahead isn't getting any easier as they get set for a four-game set in Tampa this weekend facing a Rays team with the best record in the American League. It's a make-or-break weekend for the O's, the guys will break it all down. At 10:15am, we will enlist the help of the great Peter Schmuck, longtime Orioles writer now with BaltimoreBaseball.com, to get his thoughts on how the trade deadline played out, the job Mike Elias has done and much more. At 10:40am, we're going to check in with our friend Dan Zielinski from BaseballProspectus.com to get his thoughts on the Adley Rutschman trade and to help us breakdown the return the O's got for Adley and what we can expect out of the prospects who came over from Boston. Finally, at 11am, we will check in with PressBoxOnline.com editor Luke Jackson to get his thoughts on the Adley trade, Mike Elias's future and so much more. Griffin will also take us around the rest of the league in ‘This Week In (the rest of) Baseball' too!
Everything is under control. The purple Pearce powder preservation plan will pay off. Time to Restump Podcast the manic moments of mayhem against the Dees.Straight off the top, quite simply, if Alex Pearce plays, we win that game and you can't change my mind.We may have won plenty of games without the skipper in the past, but when the heat really goes on, we need the General back there organising and executing.Did the Dees expose our vulnerabilities that we may not have known existed? Is our reliance on Alex Pearce a concern? As silly as it sounds, has constant winning wallpapered over our deficiencies or reliances?We haven't faced a lot of adversity this season to date. We've had just a handful of challenges and our injured players rarely resembled a list.The reality is Andy Brayshaw was down, Murphy Reid finally saw a tight tag and had little influence, Freddy was horribly absent, we were vulnerable down back, we wandered away at times from the selflessness that has served us so well, we suffered moments of complacency and yet we lost by just a kick. To put it bluntly, the Dees played out of their skins and cannot play better than they did. We, on the other hand, can and will.Tidy up of just one of Mason Cox's nightmare moments and we walk away with another 4-point package. However, it is preferable to get the lesson now rather than in September.From this point on, in future meetings against Melbourne, Harrison Petty's name is in big black bold letters pregame on the whiteboard. He doesn't get to shed tears over some hurty words, garner widespread sympathy, play the taunting victim and be the catalyst for a pathetic rule change, and then come out and make a mockery of his own episode and play this wannabe fake tough guy character! You can't have it both ways and it was a little disappointing we allowed it. Alex Pearce would have rendered him irrelevant!Anyway, we live, we learn, we look into the loss, lock in on the learnings, leverage the lessons and liquidate the lapses.On some small level the loss alleviates the pressure a little. It removes any dangerous perception of invincibility that could have possibly internally crept in. It could work favourably as a grounding agent that will do us well heading into September.Well, that's enough laundering of the language here. The truth is, other than from a mental perspective, the loss had no impact and it means very little. However, dismissiveness alone doesn't feed the bulldog. So, join us to continue the loss legitimising conversational gymnastics on the pod.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

It wasn't the smoothest hit and run operation, but we saw off the attempted Carrjacking. Time to Restump Podcast the procuring of the points from the plucky Port Power players. While our mission to get into south Australia, secure the four points and get out again took a similar amount of time, we weren't exactly Delta Force commandos, executing a flawless raid and capture of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela!Sometimes you simply have to battle the monotony monster in the mind and just win. Sometimes no thrills or frills pays the bills. That was pretty much the summary of the comfortable win over Josh Carr's cabal.There was an air of supremacy about us and a sense of formality and while they're habits we don't want creeping in, to be fair, it's hard to be critical.Port Adelaide had nine of their best 23 out. No Zak Butters, no Jason Horne-Francis, no Connor Rozee and no Mitch Georgiades! So, it is a tad forgivable for allowing an infection of momentary complacency.However, they belted us in the midfield which kind of makes you raise half an eyebrow. Was it a symptom of the situation? It's not nothing but is it any real cause for concern? Does it just provide us with beneficial feedback to work on before finals?But we're a ‘focus on the positives' posse at the Restump and they came in the form of Luke Jackson, Jye Amiss and Izzy Dudley.Luke Jackson, single handedly turned the tables and carjacked the Carrjackers in the 3rd quarter! But him telling his mids at half time he was going to do it and to be ready for it, that is something we're all here for.Jye Amiss arriving predominantly over recent weeks is something special and it only enhances our September chances.And we've said it before and we'll say it again, Izzy Dudley is as clever as Murphy Reid. His inability to waste a possession is top drawer and it's a rarity that something good doesn't occur from a Dudley involvement!We took the points, we put an almost insurmountable lead on the comp for the minor premiership race and now we look to keep on trucking towards Friday night's Derby, otherwise known as the West Coast fans grand final, whether they admit it or not.And what an encounter it may be! The Eagle fans are high on hope after a string of self-destructive performances masquerading as honourable losses, and they'll bring their nothing to lose mentality, their whinny manner, backpacks full of arrogance and an overinflated sense of entitlement. So, if you want to block out the constant shrieking of West Coast fans complaining about Harley Reid not getting a free kick for being tripped by a step, feel free to swap their noise for ours. We can't guarantee you'll be better , but at least you'll be getting a better quality of nonsense. Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Blocking out just one sun? What an amateur megalomaniac Bill is! Time to Restump Podcast the retributive purple punishment Freo supplied the Suns.There has to be a sunscreen sponsorship coming Murphy Reid's way, doesn't there? Or at least he should be forwarded some of that lucrative green energy climate change cash for an ambassadorial role? Even when the clouds momentarily parted, not even a single ray got close to him!Call it atonement, making amends or retribution. It was evident Gold Coast eliminating us from the finals last year was still very much front and centre in the minds, and it was as if closure on that fateful event was required. You always hear about players memory banking certain defeats or incidents for future incentive use but you never really think grudges are truly held. However, it's difficult to believe the catastrophic finals loss last year wasn't an extra motivating factor on Sunday. The Freo players were on from the first bounce. They were zoned in, super focused, hitting hard and setting the tone. Sure, we're all locked in and the eyes are on the bigger prize, but it felt like there was more at stake yesterday, something a little extra to play for. 36 more disposals, 6 more inside 50s and 24 tackles in just the first quarter alone set a conspicuous tone and put an authoritative stamp the game. It said, “We remember, it hurt and here, have some of these apples!”Admittedly the Gold Coast Suns must have some internal issues, but to hold them to just 3 goals for the entire match, especially considering how dominant, albeit unclean, they were in clearances in the first half, was a stellar defensive performance by the entire team, but specifically the docker dudes down back.Up forward the inaccuracy disease flared up a touch again, but it looked a little worse on paper given we had 5 rushed behinds.But there are two ways to look at it. We can finger wag at Amiss and Treacy's misses, or we can realise that even when they're off, others are standing up. The forward line is functioning in such a way that this week we got the reliability of Paddy and Jackson while Freddy got his reward for recent efforts.And when you have a complimenting and individual supportive forward line, a situation summing up and fast ball moving midfield, attacking half backs and a brick wall of a last line defence… you can win from multiple different positions. Heck, you might even win 14 in a row!This is all getting extremely real. We're passing each and every test, teams are looking for the chinks in our armour and coming up empty. Have we progressed onto juggernaut status?We're now at a stage where we have built something meaningful, so we have something serious to lose. So, we need to surround the current climate with sensible and measured commentary. If you can find that anywhere, please let us know! Meanwhile feel free to come along for our often unreliable, absurd and irreverent take on it all on the pod. Send us Fan MailSupport the show

The difference between Shai Bolton and us Freo fans? Shai's head is literally in the clouds, ours metaphorically are! Do we even remember what defeat feels like? Time to Restump Podcast the cutting of the Cats claws.We don't want to speak in a forgone conclusionary tone and we don't want to put the purple cart before the pony, but is use of the term ‘dynasty' a little premature? Yes, we know, we hear what you're saying... ‘But Geelong didn't have Tom Stewart or Bailey Smith and Jeremy Cameron only had the use of just one arm!' Well... we didn't press the Wharfie Time button, so it all cancels each other out!Thursday night's scoreboard may reflect a narrow 9-point Freo victory, but it was effectively a 5 or 6 goal comfortable win. If it wasn't for our inexplicable wayward kicking, with the exception of Paddy Voss, Geelong wouldn't have gotten a look in. 3 goals 11, a scoreless Josh Treacy shot that didn't make the distance, a Jye Amiss out on the full and a couple of posters to Sammy Switta and Murphy Reid! We couldn't have hit water if we fell off a jetty! Josh and Jye were like blind darts players in cyclonic conditions! Yet despite the mayhem, despite the fact we couldn't win a centre clearance early and that we were dealing with a 28-point deficit at some stage, there wasn't any panic in the coach's box, on the ground, in the stands or in the lounge rooms.It never felt like it was out of control. Both teams were punishing mistakes on their scoreboards, but the difference was we were handing out punishment in ones. However, you were quietly confident it'd get rectified. Talk about rectified personified! 3 goals 11 turned into 13 goals 11 in the final quarter. Did we find the accuracy switch or what? And from being on the wrong side of a 3 to 10 centre clearance count, we soon found our midfield mojo to win 15 of the last 16. Individually speaking, All Australian ruck, Brownlow and Doig favourite Luke Jackson has no peer at that moment. It must be a tad difficult being a Melbourne supporter watching prime time LJ putting on absurd spectacles... and we don't mean the Mason Cox kind.Does anyone actually work harder than Andrew Brayshaw? Is it possible to actually work harder than Andy Brayshaw? Not that anyone had forgotten, but he just gave everyone a reminder of his courage and capability conveying a compelling and commanding case of captaincy consequence.Murphy Reid is outrageous, Shai Bolton is ridiculous, Paddy Voss is preposterous and the 150-game celebrating Captain Pearce is tremendous.But overall, it's the confidence of the collective. It's the belief and the hunger and the selflessness across the board that has us in this enviable position a game clear at the top of the tree.We could bang on all day about Bolton's marks, Murphy's magic and Paddy's fend offs, but.... wait, we can bang on all day about Bolton's marks, Murphy's magic and Paddy's fend offs! So, join us on the pod as we bang on all day about Bolton's marks, Murphy's magic and Paddy's fend offs!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

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

He did his best from beyond the field, but the days of Jack Newnes' haunting Freo are done! Time to Restump Podcast the little too close for comfort Carlton clash.Luke Jackson and Shai Bolton went on a ghost busting rampage, ensuring the hint of haunting from the previously problematic Jack Newnes was extinguished. Two finer games from the pair may never have been seen previously.It's difficult what to really make of the Saturday night result. The four points were secured which is obviously the main goal but to be 40 points up in the final quarter and win by 14 against a broken team that was minus 121 points in final quarters this year, is a little unnerving.Was it simply that 'cue in the rack complacency' crept in or something more sinister, sinister beyond the supernatural Newnes nudging?It felt like we kept Carlton just at arm's length for the first three quarters before turning up the heat and stunning them with an absurd period of purple dominance at the start of the fourth. It was a 40 point margin over the Blues in a blink of a Bolton eye as we banished the battle from being in the balance.However, with 7 minutes left on the clock Carlton repaid the punishment of sorts. They scored 6 times in those 7 minutes kicking 5 goals 1 to reduce the final margin to a tick over 2 goals. Were we under siege, unable to undermine the assault? Or had we timed our prevalent purple patch earlier in the period with precision?If it was the latter, it is probably not a practise we should get too familiar with because, while we appear in final four form, a fellow final four outfit may not allow us to finesse so freely! Football is rarely perfect though and the unpredictability is part of the presentation. We know all too well that inexplicable performances occur. So, when a period of perplexity plays out, it's more palatable when you still procure the 4 point prize.We're enjoying the best start to a season since 2022. We've only been six and one after seven games twice, once in 2010 and the aforementioned 2022. We're in good nick, we've pretty much done everything we could have and we've set out season up perfectly.So, why does it feel like we need a proper test? Why does it feel we need to touch the fire to see if we can handle the burn? Is it because 5 of our 7 games so far have been against current bottom 8 teams?You can only beat the opponent in front of you but maybe there's cause to gently lean on the hype brakes. A hapless Eagles two weeks back, a broken and known second half deficient Carlton on the weekend got within a couple of goals of us and we have a shell of a Bulldogs team this week. All you can do is win but do we need to reserve some judgement until we face the likes of Brisbane, Hawthorn or Sydney? They're questions we all don't want to ask or be asked, but they need asking. Thankfully, everyone has an opinion and it's all momentarily subjective. Consequently, there are currently no wrong answers. So, pick up your proton pack and PKE metre, pile in, pitch in and partake in the process of probing the preceding potentially paranormal purple performance on the pod.

The last thing a team with the word wood in its name wants to see, is a carpenter in the opposition working on defence! Time to Restump Podcast Lukey Ryan's woodworking masterclass and the hard-fought win over the Woodsmen.It was always only a matter of time, but Lukey Ryan is back to his brilliant best. He's moving fluently, his timing precise, he mopped up everything and got us out of strife on more times than we can recall. His stabilising influence and confidence he provides others add to an already well functioning defence. Quite simply, the apprentice chippie was too good for the woodies! Now that was a win! Don't know about anyone else but we're a bit bemused by the negative commentary surrounding the game from a spectacle standpoint. Despite the constant efforts of commentators to suggest we were struggling; the game was never, not even for a second, not in the balance. Every moment mattered, you were fully engaged and locked in and you couldn't take your eyes of it. Admittedly the conditions and consequent errors didn't help, but there were so many majestic moments amid the madness. Have we become spoilt by dry weather footy? Are we unrealistically captured by the desire for perfection?Yes, he may have won the game for the Pies had he taken his chances… but how many times did we crunch Lachie Schultz? What about the moments of Murphy Reid mesmerism? Luke Jackson's 4 huge grabs in a 5-minute period, Dudley applying chase down pressure, the Johnson goal, the Amiss goal, the Brayshaw lunging tackle and of course the Josh Treacy game saving clunk!I'll be back in 20 minutes, I gotta go watch them all again! Alex Pearce once again showed why the captain's cap fits and it's his for as long as he wants. You'd go as far as to suggest he'd be your first picked player if you were selecting the team. He and Josh Treacy have the ability to meaningfully impact the game without necessarily having ball in hand. Izzy Dudley's rise has been meteoric! He's gone from the sub to the sublime in the blink of an eye. Do we win that game without his contribution? He takes his chances and creates opportunities for others.Given where they have come from, their journeys to get here and that they've had to fight for everything, it is incredible to realise that the tough, combative and courageous Wagner and Worner workhorses are integral parts of the war plans.Gary Lyon and co going after Murphy Reid, chipping him for the occasional mistake, while somehow simultaneously suggesting he is miraculous, was a strange take. He's a kid who performs on-field sorcery, something he can't do if he doesn't attempt it. What is that quote about missing 100% of the shots you don't take?We can't end this parochial Docker diatribe without stopping, folding the arms and nodding in acknowledgement of and appreciation for Luke Jackson. He got the JL message loud and clear at half time and went on a rampage! In the five to six minute period between the end of the 3rd quarter and the beginning of 4th, he managed four big clunking grabs. Add those to his absurd output and you realise he's actually going up levels before our very eyes!We have to get Paddy back up and about. The AFL suits have destroyed his spirit as he now plays well within himself, without the freeing exuberance. He's regressed inward and that is not helping him, the team or us fans. Could the Derby timing be any better? What better way to get your mojo back than unleashing the Pony mayhem in a Western Derby! Anyway, it was too big a win and there is too much more to say and not enough ink to say it all here!

Did we really destroy the Tigers or did we just turn up when they understandably couldn't? In any case Josh Treacy put on a marking exhibition, catching everything. He'd catch a shadow in the dark! Time to Restump Podcast the toppling of the Tiges.That was some display from Josh Treacy. The one grab marking in less-than-ideal conditions often against more than one opponent was unrealistically clinical. If I was an opponent, I'd be calling for an investigation into the possible use of Velcro or superglue!The Tigers came out roaring, throwing everything they had at us in the first half to make it a hard-fought game until that point. However, while they did have some experience out there, you can't be minus your spine, play ten youngsters and perform for four quarters. Tom Lynch up forward, Toby Nankervis in the ruck and Nathan Broad down back would make any side infinitely better.However, we're not here to make excuses for opponents. Our wayward kicking saved the Tigers from a 150-point belting! 35 shots on goal to 13 and we kicked just 7 goals more than them. We had 12 players hit the scoreboard and almost no one was immune from the inaccurate disease. Oddly enough Caleb Serong, who goes at a tick over 45% career goal accuracy, was our most accurate with 2 goals 1. Only Serong and Treacy ended up on thee right side of the ledger.Luke Jackson had a wonderful game but even his usually reliable radar was off kicking 1 goal 4. The subdued Paddy Voss 1 goal 3, Switta 2 behinds and, while it was great to see him get amongst it, Jye Amiss hit 2 goals 3. It's difficult to contemplate that Shai Bolton may have just played his best game for the club without numerous goals involved. His mid work and forward of centre was a sight to behold and seeing the beaming smile on his face in play, we weren't the only ones happy with his work!Did we see some vast improvement in Sean Darcy the longer the game went on? He played under half of the first half but clicked over to 53.5% in the second half. Admittedly against non-existent ruckmen he should have shown something, but his confidence seemed to grow the more he got involved. But the question remains, does Darcy's reemergence lessen Jackson's output?To be honest the entire game and result was the formality it should have been. There was a fair bit of ‘going through the motions' but you still have to get it done. We turned up, weathered the storm in more ways than one, endured whatever Richmond could muster and then put them to the sword for a more than comfortable victory. We bank the four valuable points and we look to the next fortnight in South Australia.However, it's a sin not to celebrate a Freo win.

Is there enough Dudley to go around? Everyone wants to see more Dudley! Time to Restump Podcast Dudley's disorienting of the Dees.He's given us snippets before, thrilled us with his momentary glimpses, he has teased us, leaving us wanting so much more. Saturday night he gave us the extended version, the full feature-length Dudley film.15 quality touches, 4 tackles, 7 score involvements and 3 goals 1. Personal best numbers every which way you look! What a difference another year of hard work and a second preseason makes. After averaging just under 60% time on ground in 2025, he punched out 80% on Saturday night. You couldn't take your eyes off Izzy, but the background is no place for the Paddy as he put on a pony show of his own. Admittedly it was more of a circus, but didn't we all ‘roll up, roll up!'Typically, though, the AFL stooges, who are blatantly showing us they couldn't run a tap, decided for everyone, Vossy's antics weren't a good look and instantly plucked a fine out of thin air to crush his spirit. We're now truly entrenched in an era in which the eternally offended, self-serving finger waggers hand out fines for mean words and gestures. Rest in peace mental resilience.If the end game is the sterilisation of the entire industry and the eradication of entertaining character and personality, it'd be the only area in which Andrew Dillon and his cronies are succeeding.Just as you wonder where Melbourne would be without Max Gawn, I fear Freo's whereabouts without Alex Pearce. His performance on Saturday was so much more impactful than his 5 touches suggest.However, it was the defensive collective again with special mention to Karl Worner whose stocks continue to rise. And having Luke Ryan seamlessly slot back in was comforting and stress alleviating. Shae Bolton was off the scale in easily his best game in purple, 10 clunking marks from the thundering Treacy train was a night out and Murphy Reid with his 25 and 2 goals… it's getting a bit monotonous! But can we just stop for a moment to marvel at the performance of the debutant and pay credit once again to Wallsy and co? Have we found our small high half forward in the form of Chris Scerri? The speed on that guy! The game was in danger of getting called off for lighting! He's been on the list five minutes, he leapfrogs higher profile draftees, lands a debut, picks up 20 touches and has Gout Gout watching on saying, “who the f@#k is that guy?” You've done it again, Wallsy!Overall, it was a good win and all you can do is win. We do have a few concerns with Jye's form and the long-term prospects of Oscar McDonald down back and across the board it wasn't quite a four-quarter level of performance where I think we'd like to be. But thankfully there is fair bit of polish still in the tin as it needs applying.We've opened the win account, squared the points ledger and gotten the season up and rolling. While some people believe things are better off unsaid, we are not those people. We've always said, too much being said is never said enough. Nuff said, in more ways than one!

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.

It's a unique game this Aussie rules caper. Almost as unique as the AFL's caveat clad, ironic equality and inclusivity policy. Maybe next year we can play round one in Mumbai! Time to Restump Podcast the air gasping gut punch against Geelong. We've got mixed emotions about what unfolded on Saturday. There is no guarantee the situation with opening round dictated the result, but it was too conspicuous to not have had a substantial impact. However, result aside, reduce the possible advantage or disadvantage by simply abolishing the nonsensical round zero. After starting in sensational fashion, the Cats ate into some of our lead in the second term. But we had to expect it; I mean its Geelong we were up against… it's not as if it was West Coast! But midway through the third quarter we hit the brick wall and there was no second wind. We stumbled onto the treadmills where we remained, unable to stop the combat-ready conditioned Cats from catching us. While the result was disappointing, what we delivered in the first quarter was the scintillating silver lining and the positive to take out of the day. Put some match fitness behind it and we should be in for a more than handy year. However, we didn't necessarily do ourselves any favours as we likely compounded the opening round conditioning issues through selection. Knowing the challenges, you must ponder why we'd go in with an obviously underdone Sean Darcy and an Alex Pearce with a question mark where his halo usually is. Sean Darcy managed just 44% game time. Only three other players over the round, played less than 50% game time without injury reasoning. We're not into consolation prizes but the loss wasn't defining or season trend setting. It has that familiar feel of the ‘one that got away,' yet it is far from a round one loss that has us saying, ”Oh here we go again.” There were contributing factors beyond our control, but we probably didn't take care of the factors that were within it, and there lie the disappointment and frustration. 2025 round one and 2026 round one, while both resulted in losses to the same team at the same venue, that is where the similarities end. On a post-match perspective and what it potentially means going forward, they couldn't be further apart. How deep we can we dig into this game? How deep does this game need digging into? We don't know! But put on your archaeological wide brimmed field hat, bundle up your trowel, shovel and brush and join us as we see what nuggets of nonsense we can unearth on the pod.

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
Nothing wrong with exploring, experimenting and pinch hitting, but highest and best use is always the most productive policy. Time to Restump Podcast all the latest goings on at Cockburn central.Other than getting some miles in the legs, a preseason blowout and learning the Freo Dockers don't believe in open borders, there wasn't too much to take away from the kick to kick at Victor Kalis Saturday morning.However, there was a conspicuous emphasis on using the Cockburn corridor. The instruction obviously was to move it down the middle at all costs, something you imagine we're attempting to take into the season proper, albeit with a bit more selectiveness and caution. Was the state of origin as exciting a prospect as we're seemingly made or told to believe? It was a good spectacle but from a meaningful and emotional investment perspective, it felt more in the range of well below a home and away game and marginally above an exhibition match. Are we really pushing on with the intention of having Luke Jackson play substantial midfield minutes? Surely his highest and best use supersedes the experiments? And as we're not discarding another Darcy dash to Doha, Jackson's ruck fate may well be sealed. Luke Ryan seems to be a little off the pace at the moment which is a tad concerning, especially as the responsibility for our success this year feels like it relies on the fitness of him, Alex Pearce and Brennan Cox. Oscar aside, the lack of tall defender depth does make us a little nervous. But all fit and available, do we have the cattle this year to go all the way? Or are we a Chad Warner away from as finished a product as you can be? Jojo has welcomed a few listeners to his Mount Hawthorn bar which he describes as a “relaxed, light driven, open atmosphere” so we'll get an update there. But on more important matters the Chief wants a ruling from the self-appointed booing gatekeeper, Gerard Whatley, regarding Lachie Neale. We're getting close to the siren to start the season! Its that time of year where the nerves are starting to creep in, they're duelling with the excitement that is building all while trying to stave off cautious optimism. It's the annual mixed emotional melting pot!All that in deeper discussion and a shedload more unenlightening nonsense that could well prove detrimental to your cognitive well-being. But hey, wee all take refuge in the concussion protocols, should they be required. So, suit up, forget looking before you leap and just dive head first into an hour of inevitable traumatic brain injury generated listening. Send a textSupport the show

About Carson Bruce & The Worship Keys Founder of The Worship Keys platform, which focuses on four main areas: music theory, gear/software, ministry, and industry Classically trained pianist who now lives in Nashville The Worship Keys podcast releases weekly on Wednesdays, featuring interviews with keys players Origin Story Carson created the platform because he "wished something like this existed" when he was younger Piano has been central to his personal faith journey—often serving as his "prayer closet" Noticed a gap in resources specifically for worship keys players Essential Skills for Worship Pianists Heart Posture: "If your heart is not in ministry...you're not going to stay on that stage satisfied" Playing by Ear: Learning to listen and replicate what you hear is crucial Nashville Number System: Understanding music theory through the number system Ear Training: Practice playing unfamiliar worship songs by ear, then verify with chord charts Focus on Fundamentals: Learn to play well before worrying about gear Transitioning from Classical to Contemporary Classical training often emphasizes sight-reading and technical precision Worship contexts require playing by ear, improvisation, and band awareness Many pianists struggle with this transition because the learning approaches are fundamentally different Nashville Number System for Keys Players Despite some believing it's mainly useful for guitarists, Carson advocates for pianists using the Nashville Number System because: It facilitates whole-band communication Makes modulation easier Numbers are quicker to call out than complex chord names Works internationally across language barriers Promotes collaboration rather than piano-centric leadership Common Mistakes Worship Keys Players Make Overplaying the Low End: Creates muddiness when there's already a bass player Doing Too Much: Sometimes simplicity serves the song better Playing Full Triads in Both Hands: Consider simpler voicings like fifths or suspended chords Not Understanding Context: Different musical styles require different approaches Technology Tips Software Options MainStage: Good for Mac users, moderate learning curve Ableton Live: Most powerful but steeper learning curve Sunday Keys App: User-friendly iPad app with AI capabilities ($120) Hardware Highlight Atmosphere Pedal by Aerospace Audio: Physical pedal with high-quality atmospheric pads built in Allows pianists to trigger pads without needing a computer on stage Features 10 different pad sounds based on atmospheric layers Small footprint allows it to be placed directly on the keyboard Keys Players' Rigs Carson's typical setup includes: Arturia KeyLab MIDI controller MainStage software for sounds Focusrite 18i20 interface when running tracks Software from Sunday Sounds or Aerospace Audio for pads Decision-Making for Keys Equipment Carson's advice: If your keyboard works well, keep it and upgrade your sounds through software Consider Sunday Keys app for simplicity and ease of use MainStage for Mac users who want more control Ableton Live for those willing to invest time in learning a comprehensive system Use iPad apps when available to avoid complex computer setups Sunday Keys App Highlights Features AI-generated sounds based on text or emoji descriptions Allows easy sharing of setlists between multiple campuses Affordable one-time purchase with optional annual updates Limitation: Cannot currently import custom-created patches Artists That Inspire Carson Red Rocks Worship (particularly Spooky Scott) Elevation Rhythm (especially "Goodbye Yesterday") The Ramp Worship from Hamilton, Alabama Various gospel artists for technical inspiration Connect with The Worship Keys Instagram: @theworshipkeys YouTube: The Worship Keys Email: Carson@theworshipkeys.com Key Quotes "If you're not using the number system as a pianist, maybe you're not meaning to, but it's like you're trying to say one up almost." "It's like buying a Lamborghini and driving it in first gear everywhere you go." "The piano was once looked at as a secular instrument that you only play in the bars and the pubs, and then it was brought into the church and people had big problems with that." "A lot of times they're asking you to do less in a full band context."
