My first home and away game since July.

The last one was against Freo too, at the MCG. Matthew Pavlich singlehandedly destroyed the Blues that day.

Last night's match looked just as bad as Freo jumped to a 7 to 2 goal lead at quarter time. The players have some measure of talent as witnessed by the way they fought the game out. But something isn't right at Princes Park, judging by the first quarter.

Fremantle have a predictable game plan: create a loose man then bomb the ball to Pavlich, Farmer or McPharlin. Against any other side in the competition they struggle.

Sorry Denis, but you've had 3 years now. If you can't motivate your players to play accountable man-on-man football from the first bounce, stand aside and let someone else have a go. You were a mercenary from North and Wayne Brittain was unfairly scapegoated - you've done no better as Elliott's supercoach...

Did I mention the umpiring?
