You want to report me don’t you, Snitch. Go on,,, waste their time again.
Doc Disnick
Roar Guru
All good then, Snitch. Sounds like you’ve toughen up a little this year. Great to see.
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
You didn’t say it…but the logic is the same. Just dumb. The other stuff you say is just childish petulance. Someone has hurt you.
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
You hit nothing...you just type stuff to put down anyone that's not you.
Doc Disnick
Roar Guru
I never said he wasn’t one of the best inside midfielders ever, or to put him in the back pocket. I said they should rotate him off the halfback flank. You don’t understand your own team well enough, let alone the intricacies of AFL, Snitch, to understand any of this. Just stick with what you are best at - annoying people who are interested in you. We rarely chat, thankfully, because we have nothing in common. I’d play the witty banter with you, but you get upset too easily and start reporting people.
Doc Disnick
Roar Guru
That’s ten sentences I extracted from you. Not normally your style, Snitch. Did I hit a raw nerve?

Roar Rookie
Fair call there Don does carry on about Darcy far too often
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
Sad for Worner and McDonald but they're easily replaced. Walker back next week and Chapman the week after. The Cox injury is the issue. High hammy could be quite a long out. He would have gone back with Taberner up forward for a few weeks until Jackson can go back there. Great chance for Freo to introduce Josh Draper or Hugh Davies as a key back.
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
Just dumb. He is a midfielder. Freo's backline is superb. What you are suggesting is akin to playing Bontempelli in a back pocket or Lachie Neale on a wing. He is the best extractor of a ball from a pack in AFL history and you want him down back. This is simply a case of you thinking, "Freo's resources are Fyfe and...well, there's Fyfe and...err...I don't know who else they have."
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
You just don't know his game. He's very mobile. Constantly 40 plus hitouts. The midfield needs his dominance. Jackson lost the hitouts to McInerney 30 to 40. Darcy is essential. If you look at the highlight of this game, most of Jackson's highlights are where Freo needs him; up forward. Your nastiness towards Darcy, even when he doesn't play, is the reason for my post. It's deliberate and it's without knowledge. My post was simply a return in kind, deliberately so.

Couldn't wish for a better start Don. Injuries aside things are looking good.
Doc Disnick
Roar Guru
He rotates as an offensive midfielder, Snitch. You can see him clearly throughout the game doing so. He should rotate across the halfback line like Selwood, Hodge, Mitchell used to do instead. You’ve never understood how Freo play, which is probably why your predictions on them have never been remotely close.
Doc Disnick
Roar Guru
No need to always be nasty, Snitch. I’m just curious as to how pudding is going to run around and be mobile enough for this game plan.

Good on you Don! Freo on the march
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
Brisbane played really quite well. Freo was just a lot better.
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
Cox will probably miss 10 weeks. McDonald made some horrible clearance errors. Hoping Draper gets a go.
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
Yet not one call of any play mentioned Serong. The east coast pundits always miss him too.
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
He plays in the ruck. The best ruck in the league and we need Jackson up forward. Cox is a backman. Only folk over east don't get this. Freo is always better with Darcy.
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
Fyfe is not playing forward. What a dumb suggestion from the masseur. Everything about that is dumb. The voices in your head are running out of control. As if Fyfe is telling JLo what to do. Longmuir is a driver of the selection committee.
Don Freo
Roar Rookie
Not dubious at all. Interesting, after all those umpire errors in the first quarter that this is the one you question. Anti-Freo? Or just anti-Fyfe. I don't get why folk feel driven to do this.
