The anxiety and stress levels rapidly subsided upon seeing the name Luke Ryan as an in. But the sense of calm soon disappeared when we read on to see Andrew Brayshaw in the out column. Give us a spell universe! 

On this episode of The Restump podcast we preview our clash against the Swannies this Saturday night. We might be at similar developmental stages but its never an easy assignment against the ever-competitive Sydney side.

As we play the Bulldogs and Port Adelaide in weeks to follow, this game is pivotal and probably a season defining contest.  

Alongside Luke Ryan we get to see the inclusion of the big Cyclone again. Josh Treacy has been recalled and we’re looking for him to iron out the forward line kinks and our inaccurate kicking….. and possibly a Swan or two while he has the iron out!

Jojo McDonnell is calling for a reset and momentary return to the role focused style that saw Fremantle more combative and defensive last year. That actually makes a fair bit of sense, yet we can’t say the same about the Chief, an obvious victim for punishment, who has yet again thrown some coin on Michael Walters’ possession count. 

Its just great to have Fremantle footy back in the state. It’s going to be a wet Saturday evening but that won’t deter us. I don’t know about you but we are up and about and ready to Start Wearing Purple…. raincoats.
