OnlyFreo

Get up, it’s game day ⚓️

OnlyFreo would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land, on which we play this great game of ours and pay our respects to Elders from long ago and from today.

As a proud Noongar man I am continually blown away by the love and work that our club, the mighty Walyalup Dockers, do to support, share and promote our culture. Having been able to work with them and see the passion firsthand is truly remarkable.

Our clubs history is filled with famous Aboriginal names from both AFL and AFLW teams that not only represent their families but the wider mob. From Abraham to Kickett, Farmer to Headland, Cook to Hill, Johnson to Walters, Henry to Pearce (x2). From Bentley to Haynes and Houghton to Morrison just to name a few. Talent upon talent!

This game of ours can really bring us all together, no matter your heritage. Sharing, learning and understanding culture can be really amazing, especially if it’s to do with the place we call home.

This Sir Doug Nicholls Round, let’s celebrate and continue to walk together 🤝🏽

🛑WOTW: FFC
This week’s ‘Weak of the Week’ goes to...the whole club 😭

This season is off to a rocky start after dropping games to St Kilda and North Melbourne. The boys are hurting, the club is hurting, the members and fans are hurting.

The North Melbourne game stings a little more as we never had the game on our terms, didn’t look like we were playing our brand of footy (again) and only ended up losing by a point. Our skills, connection and forward pressure are down and it’s proving very costly so far.

I’m not going to get into the final play, deliberate call scenario, as we should have not been in the position to sn**ch the game. We have a lot of work to do.

West Coast looked dangerous on the weekend and although I have faith that the boys will turn the season around at some point, I’m not sure it will be this weekend.

I hope they prove me wrong 🙏🏽
