Has Freo scored the makings of a decent side?
Freo's nabbed some real up and comers for the future in Palmer and Ibbotson.
They've basically been crap since they joined the AFL, take away Pav, Bell and McPharlin and they may as well drop back into the WAFL. They're the only non-vic team to have not won a flag. Can they get anything out their youngsters?

Agreed that not this year. They tried to prop up their list with recycled players when they made the preliminary finals, but it backfired and they got bad.

But, they should be in good stead for the future. I like their youngsters (if they can keep them). They'll realise their folly and do a Carlton-esque recycled-and-old player cleanout over a few years, and end up with a pretty good young team out of it. I have more optimism for them than the Eagles at the moment.

This year NO! There is no chance for Freo this year, but in years to come if they play good tight fast paced footy like they did against Geelong, which they shouldve won or at least been awarded the draw after the stuff up, but I think in about 5yrs you may see the Dockers in the 2 or 3 depending on draft picks and that they dont keep recruiting 'B' GRADE Bomber players. A flag for Fremantle, I would have to be plastered on that day! Pavlich is good, but nowhere near as good as everyone is saying. Put him in a team like Geelong, Hawthorn or even the Crows and you wouldnt make much of him, he is just the best player in an underskilled side who wouldnt look like much if he was in a different side!!! And thats coming from his own cousen

Dockers should have at least been awarded the draw are you serious John?? There was around 8 seconds left when Harry Taylor took that last mark and if the 10 seconds hadn't been lost the siren would have sounded just as he took his kick or immediately after the kick

They havent had the best run since their conception, have they?
Im not a Dockers fan, but I cant help cheering for them when watching them play anyone barr my team, you kind of want them to do well - just because we havent seen them really shine yet!

Oh as for Rhys Palmer and Ibbotson, once Freo trade Pav back to SA, and Freo go to the WAFL we'll happily take those two youngsters as well thanx Andy! hehe
