“Best club and supporter base and most passionate fans in the AFL. It was the incentive to come to Collingwood.” Is Lachie being a little too Lobb-like? Time to Restump Podcast that and whatever we can scratch up and masquerade as Freo content.  

We’ve closed the door on the Lachie Shultz love-fest. Sure, his interview at Collingwood was probably edited with cherry pickings but that is not getting in the way of a villainous narrative. He’s not exactly dead to us but he’s off the Christmas card list and almost in the Rory Lobb basket! 

Fixtures are starting to leak out. Is there anything the AFL doesn’t milk dry? We’ve got a tough home game against Brissie to kick things off and we’re off to the Northern Territory later in the year. 

Zero round? Is there a potential the AFL is biting off its nose to spite its face? Is it watering down the spectacle and occasion of the traditional round one?

The strategic plan… how are we actually travelling? Have we deviated from where they thought we would be? Can we still tick off the boxes with two years to run?

From a wider, all-encompassing perspective, what is the feeling of the fans about the current Fremantle club? Do fans feel part of the club? Is there that deep emotional tie or are there degrees of separation?  

Oscar McDonald has joined the purple and Jeremy Sharp looks like he’s days away from doing the same. Handy gets for no cost.

Josh Corbett is done for 2024 after a hip injury that came with little to no detail. The Chief has been some digging around to try and find out what actually happened to Ronnie Corbett. 

Bailey Banfield got engaged after getting his beautiful partner to say yes. We couldn’t be happier for him but we’re disappointed he didn’t get down on one knee wearing the sub vest.  

So, there’s all of that and no doubt plenty more of the stuff no one asked for or will benefit from!

Are we podcasting anything truly enlightening? Probably not! But hey… the bottom of the content barrel isn’t going to scrape itself! So, if you’ve set the listening bar low, then join us as we try and inject some much-needed purple nonsense into the offseason airways!
