⬛ The things is, Fremantle have not yet played Geelong, Melbourne, Brisbane, Collingwood or Sydney ! 22 04 2023

[@tazey2372]

We have brisbane next week steady on

[@PlushMOelmoalexcatboy]

Finally they listened they didn’t spolier

[@AFLandCricketFanman]

Bulldogs have been looking better than I though this season. They looked more hungrier for the win from the start

[@chriscoyne4827]

Lol

[@BadgerFromOz]

Exactly

[@TigerTime3672]

What a performance from the doggies!, this was a big percentage booster to bring their season back to life for 2023. They were hungrier and more desperate around the ball and kept their cool throughout the game. The dockers on the other hand just never got going throughout the game where the doggies numerical pressure around the ball overwhelmed them.

did you ask chat Ai to write that for you?

[@Ziffy2810]

This was my first Ausy Rules game that I have seen or attended.. I was supporting the dockers with a local, I chose my team and did not change my mind, it was a great game and a great atmosphere but the better team won! Hope I can watch ausy rules on the telly when I'm back in the UK.. So much better than football (soccer).

[@SydMel11]

Thank you we love our game being known internationally ❤

[@glenngrant7778]

Can someone please explain why the umpire called play on when Naughton marked the ball

Love these interviews at the end. Cheers AFL

[@TigerTime3672]

There was definitely a fair bit of spite surrounding Lobb last night

[@criddlegakes2650]

If he didn't blame everyone else for him being a mediocre footballer no one would've cared at all. Good move by Brand Lobb there

[@TigerTime3672]

The crowd and the players got stuck into Lobb and karma struck back

[@michellerae328]

He had the last laugh on Dockers ,good for him.!!

[@loughieholt2737]

​​@@criddlegakes2650ell he kicked a goal and won the game and freo didn't

[@mytwosense9135]

As long as it's not a black player or JHF, no-one will care about Lobb and his mental health because booing is such a vicious activity.

[@CodE_breaKER_3]

Wow I go for them shame on you

[@5911aviation]

I mean if you go for bulldogs then imagine getting 6 behinds the just a goal😂

[@chriscoyne4827]

@@5911aviation lol 😂🤣

[@mikejfwalsh]

How about understanding how unprofessional and just downright rude Lobb was when he left the club? Educate yourself you ignorant buffoon.

[@imalwaysright]

Freo is lucky Dogs missed a lot of set shots, because it could have been a 100 point blow out 😩😩😩😩😩

[@mytwosense9135]

Is booing still detrimental to a player's mental health? Has anyone checked on Lobb today? Gee, I hope he's ok from all those boos. Must've been tough on him.

[@5911aviation]

Loved how they booed when lob marked it😂❤

[@rivermcginniss1134]

Was nearly a guarantee

[@amaruvandevu8603]

It’s like a bad break up lol 😂

[@JetLagVSKenji]

ty again for no spoiler title, appreciate you

[@justinrvarga7236]

cannot wait to see Lobb find his top form as the Doggies have two versatile ruckman that can go forward and kick goals. Can't believe this is the same Dockers the Dogs lost to last year in that horrific final lol.

[@0zziefan]

Why are they booing Lobb? Do they want him back? Are they not happy with Jackson?!

[@imalwaysright]

Almost every player that leaves a club gets booed when they play against their former club

[@jarradbaker8200]

I wouldn’t be happy with jackson, does f all and is on massive $$$

[@BadgerFromOz]

A big win by the Western Bulldogs in Optus Stadium and not just a big win, a percentage-boosting victory too. Rory Lobb got his revenge on Fremantle, meaning that the Dockers are now 0-2 for this year's "Revenge" Games.The only thing from stopping this from being an even bigger thrashing was the Bulldogs' inaccurary early on. Freo was somewhat in the contest at the end of the third quarter, key word: somewhat. The fourth quarter was all the Bulldogs and for those Freo fans that tried to troll Rory Lobb with the Lobster Tears Beer, it was him that had the final say and the last laugh. Fremantle's loss was also marred by some pitch invader in the fourth quarter. Not often you get that nowadays. Now, Fremantle have already gone through their "easy" games and have only won two of them, so as a team with a 2-4 record for this season, they have a very, very brutal five weeks ahead of them, with Brisbane (Woolloongabba, a ground where the Dockers haven't won on since 2016, not 2011), Hawthorn (Optus Stadium), Sydney (Sydney Cricket Ground, a ground where the Dockers haven't won on since 2011), Geelong (Optus Stadium, where they haven't beaten the Cats since 2019) and Melbourne (Melbourne Cricket Ground). Apart from Hawthorn, the other four teams will very likely take down Fremantle, sending them down to 3-8 before the bye, or even 2-9 should Hawthorn win in Perth. For the Bulldogs, it was a victory to savour and they have a much more favourable draw with Hawthorn (Marvel Stadium), Greater Western Sydney (Manuka Oval), Carlton (Marvel Stadium), Adelaide (MARS Stadium) and Gold Coast (TIO Stadium). The Dogs should win around 2-4 of those five matches.

[@BadgerFromOz]

Also, I made a mistake there. It was actually 2016 when Fremantle previously defeated the Brisbane Lions at the Woolloongabba, not 2011, and it was a smashing by 83 points.

[@imalwaysright]

Flag Dogs are back. Very impressive win. And Bont should get the Brownlow 👑🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@DV-zv4ox]

Flag Dogs? The same Dogs that limped against a lackluster PA last weekend? 😆

[@imalwaysright]

@@DV-zv4ox is that a salty Freo fan? 😂😂😂😂😂 *just lost against Port in the torrential rain. They dominated for 3Q, but let it get away. They’ve learned from that, stayed a week in Perth, and embarrassed Freo in front of their home crowd. Could have been a 100 point win 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@DV-zv4ox]

@I'm Always Right no I'm a port supporter. Just calling it as it is 😉

[@worker-wf2em]

All that tough guy argy-bargy before the game and then go soft as butter when it’s time to actually play footy 😂. The moment you realise West Coast are closer to their next flag then you are to your first, which is a loooooong way off.

Yehhh sure😂😂😂 eagles are hella close to another premiership. Today's performance proved it. Maybe if you flipped the AFL Ladder you'd be right hahahaha

[@mikejfwalsh]

​@@WestCoastEaglesFan1111 facts eagles are a club with a dead culture off the field 😅

[@markoivanmarelic]

A lot of changes are necessary. To begin with, JL must be fired. It seems that this season is already lost for us. Unfortunately, this team is not for big things. I have been a fan of Fremantle Dockers since the very beginning and I want to see them become champions. 28 years have passed since the club was founded and we have not been champions even once, which is very disappointing. We need a coach who knows how to win trophies. We need quality, strong players who can fight and win trophies and who play with heart and give their all. We need to instill a winning mentality in the team and be more ambitious. The time for change is now.💚❤️💜⚓💪🏉

Freo really showing that loser culture, the treatment of lobb was some of the most petty stuff I've seen. Young bloke kicked his first goal and no one got around him. Pierce acting tough looking like a flog lmao. Well done dogs putting the anchors where they belong.

[@heresjeffyytt]

A team that got mad about a person leaving there club which is why failedmantle should just fold!

😮a bunch of undisciplined professional footballers. Drop kicks, need to play the ball not the player. Never win a premiership

As an American watching this for the first time. These guys can kick a ball. Wouldn’t be surprised if anyone of them tried out to be a punter in the nfl

An absolutely horrendous display from the Dockers. At least Lobb is still absolute trash. Again he's having minimal impact such a stark difference even though apparently our coaches suck? 😂 So Rory are you going to say the dogs coaching staff are trash?
