The Fremantle Dockers has underachieved ever since they came into the AFL in 1995. And this year the Dockers have gone from bad to unbelievably worse.
To recruit players like Johnson and Farmer is a bad decision. Johnson and Farmer are really nowhere near the players they were 5 years ago.
The Dockers rely too much on Matthew Pavilich to kick the majority of their goals for them. Excuse me, but where are the rest of the Dockers’ goalkickers?
What happened against Geelong at Skilled Stadium was nothing short of disgraceful. The Dockers knew they couldn’t beat the Cats, so they tried to niggle and rough the Cats out of the game. In short, it didn’t work.
I’m still wondering why Mark Harvey was chosen as coach of the Dockers. Why didn’t they go for a WA guy, such as Steve Malaxos, Stan Magro, John Todd or Ron Alexander?
It’s time for Freo to bite the bullet, and start again. There must be a new-look Freo side, with young talent the best that WA has to offer (unless West Coast or Melbourne picks up these players), no ‘has-been’ players to recruit, and the Dockers must get rid of Mark Harvey, and pick a coach from WA who has experience in AFL coaching.
Otherwise, the Dockers will continue to be the laughing stock of not just AFL, but Australian sport in general.

While there wasn't much in the fight, commentator Garry Lyon believes the players will be writing out cheques to the AFL as fines over…
The umpire must have thought the ball didn't travel the required 15 metres.
They're not happy at the 'G!
Last, year in the second showdown, Adelaide destroyed Port by 47 points with a staggering 20 marks inside 50 with Tex Walker the main star.
There’s no disputing that Cam Guthrie will be important against Melbourne, given Patrick Dangerfield is set to miss due to injury.
Multicultural round was changed in 2018 showing that the AFL have not been as committed to multiculturalism as they should be.
