Oh thank God Fremantle decided to wake up. I just couldn't handle potentially playing the Bulldogs. I still have PTSD after 2016!Comment

I like to think RWO was the winner this weekend, Our two nemeses neutralised. Dees dominated. Cats scratched etcComment

A very good weekend of football.Comment

What I noticed last night was a number of times the Dogs should have been busted for holding the ball, but weren't.
They only fell into the finals anyway because Carlton kept shooting themselves in the foot so regularly.Comment

And those figures look relatively even because Freo got the last 4 free kicks of the game. A few minutes before the end, after Freo had overcome a 41 pt deficit and taken the lead, it was 16 - 9 in the Poodles favour.
As I've said before on this site, I reckon most of the frees the Poodles get are there. It's what they get away with that hurts the opposition. There were at least 5 blatant throws that were unpunished and probably lots of "iffy" ones as well.
Well done Freo! I can't see it happening but please, please, please beat the Pies next week!Comment

Also good if Brisbane beat Melbourne next week as we have their first pick, as they'd finish 5th = pick 14 (before dropping further with all the draft concessions).Comment

That was one crazy game. I'll have to figure out where it ranks in the history of turnarounds, if someone hasn't already. Main thing is that I don't have to think about the Dogs again this finals series.
A pretty good first week of finals. The media seems to have declared Pies-Cats the "classic". I thought much of it was a skills slop-fest compared with the other games, but I suppose the closeness was entertaining.
Perhaps our accomplished win seems almost boring by comparison. Perhaps that is a good thing and the way we like it

Heard mentioned Freo's win was the 2nd biggest come back in finals history. Without researching think Essendon over Adeliade in 93 is no.1? Carlton over Collingwood in 1970 GF must be also close (44 points 1/2 time deficit IIRC?).That was one crazy game.

With bias, I think our QF was the best standard game when taking pressure into consideration, as it was off the charts. Dees played well but finally wiltered at the end as we kept the heat on. Brisbane v Richmond was very entertaining with the century scores but that was due to the low pressure ranking of the match.Comment

Feels like the finals will now be 'fair' with the bulldogs out. The best team will winComment
