It involves a die-hard dockers fan who is always driven to talk about anything related to the Old Heave-Ho! Whether its good or bad I just love talking about the Dockers.💜
Welcome back to the BigDeagz Podcast! After a week of riding the emotional rollercoaster that is the Fremantle Dockers, I'm here to unpack every painful detail of our Round 1 loss to Geelong at GMHBA.
We had them. For 20 minutes, we had one of the flag fancies absolutely gobsmacked. But as the old saying goes, games are four quarters long and Freo forgot to show up for three of them.
In this episode, we cover:
🏉 The First Quarter That Had Us Believing
Fremantle's best opening term outside WA in club history. 75% scoring efficiency from inside 50s. Corridor ball movement. Tackling pressure through the roof. This is the brand of football we've been begging to see and it worked. The question now: can we sustain it?
💔 Where It All Fell Apart
From a 40-point lead to a gut-wrenching loss. The leaders went missing. Brayshaw had a career-worst game. Young was thrown forward and forgotten. And Geelong's big guns did what they always do.
🤯 The Sean Darcy Decision (You Know It's Coming)
I've defended this football club through thick and thin, but the decision to play an underdone, managed-minutes Sean Darcy over a fully-fit Mason Cox is indefensible. My criticism is aimed at the medical staff and selection team, not Sean Darcy, but this was a genuine blunder that cost us rotation depth and run. And for what?
📊 The Opening Round Advantage – Data Deep Dive
Justin Longmuir called it out. Stephen King agreed. The numbers back it up. I've analysed all 14 games since Opening Round was introduced to give you the full picture. Does the AFL have a fairness problem? You decide.
You're Quite Brilliant Q&A:
Why Oscar McDonald over Josh Draper?
Dockery Scale rating?
Who's our best wingman?
If we win a flag, is Sean Darcy in the team?
No rookies on the weekend, what's the deal?

S4E7: So Close, Yet so Far.
In this week’s episode, we break down Fremantle's frustrating loss to Collingwood, a game where the Dockers dominated in nearly every key stat but still couldn't get the job done.
We dive into the bigger picture of Fremantle’s season, where the loss of experienced players like Nat Fyfe and Jaeger O'Meara is beginning to show, and whether the team can rely on their young midfield to step up. The episode also tackles the hot topic of Sean Darcy, as his injury woes and hefty contract leave his future at Freo up in the air.
Plus, we look ahead to Fremantle’s upcoming match against the Giants, which seems like a daunting task given the team’s current form. Will the Dockers pull off an unlikely upset or will the losing streak continue?
We wrap up with your questions in the All Quite Brilliant Q&A. Covering everything from team strategy to player performance and answer whether Freo is really "done for the season." It’s a tough time to be a Fremantle fan, but we’ll break it all down, the good, the bad, and the downright ugly.
