Are the Dockers any Chance?

Did Freo choke? I watched that last quarter and it seems like a massive choke if you ask me (Port Power style when playing most finals) :P

Maybe it is more to do with the fact that Fremantle always seems to struggle whenever they play in Melbourne. I'd be a bit worried being a Freo fan and thinking "we just can't win in Melbourne". What happens on Grand Final day or even to get there, Semi-Finals? Can't alway rely on the possibility of home finals.

Actually now that I say that, I think back and think of the Swans finals record in Melbourne. Still we seem to have finally overcome that hoodoo. Has Freo? Interesting year ahead for the Dockers. Promise so much each season, but can they deliver when it really matters?

Agree with most of what was written about "my boys". You fellas have every right to question the boys from the port. (sorry Grim, not the mullets)
Those questions still require negative responses so far.
Had our chances & couldn't take it. Won't blame a shifting surface as finally the umpires were almost impartial.
My call: Peter Bell for Captain Coach. Chris Cuddly can go back to being an assistant (which he is doing right now).
I just hope the Western Force (rugby) fans are more Dockers than eGirls or they won't have any members next year.
Sandilands for Brownlow!
I called it months ago.

I don't think Freo should have to worry about choking in the finals...reason being is that Freo will never make the finals!

What did the port powder puff do when he got to the ball?






He choked

They went on to wind the 2004 AFL Grand Final....that's what the Port Powder Puff did!....lol

You got got me "Gran Raper", I can't argue with that. "Your boys" have undoubtedly outdone mine so far. All I can point to is the future with a top 3 or 4 player group (especially once we get a coach), our fans who have stuck through the hard times (most of the time), and the fact that we don't live in adelaide.
We'll both be happy with the cats beating the orange mullets tonight.
Enjoy your season and may your team flounder. (another fish joke)

I am sure the Power and Freo will meet in the Grand Final soon after both our team demoish the Worst Coast and Cows in the repsective Preliminary Finals.
