You’re more than enough Vossy, but we need you to bring back the infectious, contagious exuberance the miserable, joyless folk belted out of you! Time to Restump Podcast the chaotic conquering of the Crows. 

It’s time for Vossy to let go of the inconsequential opinions of him that are held by others and return to his naturally enthusiastic self. Bring back the organic energetic celebratory shenanigans that inspire teammates and resonate with fans. Remember, the Pony is fine; the spirit makes it shine!

We’ve discussed it often, we’ve had differing opinions and we’ve switched viewpoints. However, we’ve arrived back at a unified position that the Freo Docker captaincy is Alex Pearce’s until he says otherwise! We don’t win that game without him and I’m not even talking about the smother. It’s what he did repeatedly leading up to those last few astonishing acts that ensured we were even a chance to win, something he does all too often. The concern, though, is our prospects rely almost exclusively on his availability. 

Whatever the case, its Moose’s world and he just lets us live in it.

The usual suspects performed in their usual manner but it’s the growth in the likes of Matty Johnson, Neil Erasmus and Karl Worner that has raised the team’s floor. 

Are Jye Amiss and Sean Darcy taking positive strides? Jye showing some of his yesteryear energy and four goals and Darcy seemingly moving a lot more freely and looking substantially more confident and carefree. 

While a wonderful win it was to secure, and one that may have slipped through our fingers in years gone by, are the dramatic heroics of the final moments covering up some issues? We had a run of 7 goals kicked against us and we kicked just 3 goals in the 2nd half. We’ve played 2 relevant or significant teams this year, Geelong and Adelaide, and we’ve kicked just 3 goals in each of the 2nd halves. Concerns or too small a sample size?

We move on quick to Gather Round but there is always time to stop and smell the purple victory roses. So, if you’re still coming down from Freo’s frenetic Friday fanfare, join us as we celebrate, anticipate, appreciate, advocate, deliberate and hopefully stop stealing INXS lyrics!
