Safe to say North’s rebuild could do with a Jim’s Handyman. Time to Restump Podcast Friday night’s result in which Freo hopped over the Kangas.   

Six wins on the bounce… who is this purple outfit? 

As Fremantle fans we know too well what North supporters are going through so there will be no showboating from us. However, it was pleasing to put away a side in the manner we should have, as it is something we have rarely been able to do. 

It was a methodical, disciplined and systematic performance from a club that is growing in professionalism. 

Starting with the Busseltonian, Jye “Nev” Amiss. Sometimes footy delivers moments you hope for but can’t realistically expect. If you were writing a script pre-match you would have been pretty proud of your work. His first kick first goal was one special moment. 

But above and beyond the moment, and more importantly, what a pick 8 product we have got for the next 10  to 15 years! He moved well, didn’t seem overawed, he looked comfortable and settled and while he may make way for Tabs and Lobb, he’s not far away from returning if he does. 

That’s enough Jye love… let’s get to Mr Fix It. The man who wears many hats and performs a multitude of roles often even within games! Jimmy Aish put in a ripping game but not one that could be classed as rare. 30 touches and 5 clearances, he was a notable standout and another who has seen his performance rise substantially this year. On Friday night he owned the fastest hands in the west. 

But you cant talk cracking games without mentioning future captain Andy Brayshaw. We can get a bit unintentionally complacent with Andy’s work given his regularity but its genuinely difficult to not have him up in the calibre of the league's best. Leading by example and intent, 34 touches, 10 clearance and 7 marks… its ridiculous he’s 23 years of age!  

Oh to hell with this…. Lets stop beating around the bush! It was a deadest procession Friday night. If North were any slower to move early on they’d have been statues and you could go as far as to realistically suggest North may have put up a more competitive first quarter had David Noble selected actual Kangaroos!

But hey let’s keep a lid on it, stay reserved and humble, don’t rock any boats and allow this purple juggernaut to roll on.

We talk everything Friday night, we go over Malthouse’s moronic remark, as usual we wander into things that don’t concern us and bring it home with our first Butcher of the Week winner! 

So, ride the Mexican wave and join us for more emotionally conflicting, many failed attempts at measured purple praise masquerading as analysis.
