Freo did such thorough homework on GWS, it was as if they’d beanstalking the Giants! Yeah Ok.. enough of that, its time to Restump Podcast Saturday’s magnificent victory.

Now that was a performance to put a pep in your post game step and a glide in your Monday stride! 

We went in with concerns of the Giants’ midfield… but we forgot that where there’s a Will there’s a way. 37 disposals of which 21 were contested…. what a dependable asset Will Brodie is rapidly becoming.

Old man Mundy returned to scoop a lazy 30, Brayshaw still found a way to contribute under a strong tag and let’s not overlook the rare inside work of Jimmy Aish.

The forward pressure was off the scale with Switta, Schultzy, Freddy and Sonny all putting in 4 quarter performances, and while again we didn’t exactly capitalise on it, it went along way to getting us the result. 

Brennan Cox took control of the first half before handing the intercept marking baton over to Griffin Logue to bring it home. Clark and Walker had quieter days but both contributed. 

In an efficient use of two for one congratulatory time, we dip our lids in acknowledgment of their feats and say well done Young Chap. Our two attacking defenders are in blue sky improvement territory!   

We could go on and on but we’ll save the rest of the pouring of adulation for the podcast. However, one man that deserves a mention… the literal Giant slaying Travis Colyer’s performance Saturday cannot be overstated!

So, all that and plenty more to discuss like what does Blake Acres’ form mean for Liam Henry? Does Alex Pearce walk straight back in? How do we finally fix our inaccuracy? And was JL sending telepathic coaching messages? Then we bring it home with another episode of the Ask Jojo segment. 

So, if you can put up with our palaver, plug in, push play and put this pedantic piece of audibly perceptible purple pandemonium in your Lords and Peers.

Must have been a tough decision to drop Lloyd after a career best game. He’s on the up, looking for game time… is he entering the sights of the poachers? Time to Restump Podcast preview the Freo V GWS clash and pray for our mids.

We’re not taking anything away from the boys for their win last week and you can only beat who you’re up against which they did. However, we’re going to need to go up a level to take care of the Giants.

The midfield battle holds the key and with the likes of Taranto, Green, Kelly and Ward up against, no doubt, a Matty de Boer tagged Brayshaw, a Mundy off a 20 day break, a Will Brodie and second gamer Neil Erasmus who will know he’s been in an AFL game late Saturday night…. it’s a scary assignment. Hopefully some Darcy dominance somehow helps provide first use. 

Is it possible Rory Lobb might be the difference? Is there a little extra motivation for him in that could he be seeing this game as his audition? $7 for most goals? Don’t follow us, our results suggest we game irresponsibly! 

Jesse Hogan looked very lively last week against Gold Coast and there might just be a little bit extra pep in his step on Saturday as he lines up against us for the first time since his departure. 

Our forward pressure needs to be in the elite category because if not, Whitfield, Cumming and Perryman could cut us to ribbons. Schultzy, Freddy and Sonny….. give us a repeat of last week!

This proves to be one intriguing and interesting game. Sure, we know we need to raise our level but, while they’ve shown positive signs, the Giants haven’t exactly set the year on fire with losses to Sydney at home and Richmond away. Plus they’re not the greatest of travelers with just a 37% winning strike rate away from home.

However, whichever way you look at this game it does appear as though the midfield decides the result. Freo at $1.84 favourites…. we’re hoping the bookies get this one right but we’re not keen to part with any hard earned this week.  

But when all is said and done, we can’t wait for the challenge Saturday night. 

If you’re not sick of the Restump Podcast nonsense by now, you really should get yourself checked out because you can’t be at all well. However, on your way to see the Doctor, bung this half an hour in your ears and ironically take your mind off your issues!

On Today's Pod we'll preview tomorrow's match with GWS.

Round 1 was a tough watch but we get a second chance against the Giants at Optus tomorrow afternoon. 

To say Freo is enduring an injury curse would have to be one of the greater understatements of all time as we barely have enough players to field a team. but the boys we have wearing purple will surely turn in a better showing than last week.

Tabs resigned for 3 more years, word is out on Cerra and we didn't mention in the Pod but James Aish plays game 100 so there is some positive vibes creeping in!

I think we're all looking forward to our first home game of the year and getting amognst the Purple Army again willing on the boys. Enjoy the day tomorrow and......

Lets Start Wearing Purple!

On Todays Pod we look back on the weekend's dissapointing result against the Giants. 

The boys always seemed to be up against it coming into the match and GWS proved those suspicions correct as they put us away by close to ten goals. In our last game before heading back to Queensland closing out the season the boy's struggled to cope with the quality accross the park that the Giants possess. 

We run through the team and discuss where it went wrong before moving on to Wednesday's fixture against the Tigers; It doesn't get much easier for Freo!

Start Wearing Purple 

On Today's Restump we preview the match this coming Saturday afternoon against the GWS Giants. 

The boys in Purple play their last game in Perth for a while and still with a mathematical chance of making the Top 8; this game bears some relevance. After a solid win over Sydney last week we discuss the Dockers outlook against the Swans cross town rivals this week. 

The Grand Final location has been in the news, we wonder if anyone really cares where it is and the Chief brings us all the latest irrelevant happenings from the AFL world in the Newsroom. 

Time to Start Wearing Purple!
