freo, way to go

holy cow.. what a start to the season. a couple of weeks ago the media was tipping us to lose the first four games and yet here we are, sitting second on the ladder and undefeated after two very good victories. the thing that's most exciting has been the contributions of the new blokes to the club. we all know how good sandilands, pav and haselby are but now they finally have a young group of players who can make the most of their abilities. barlow has been unbelievable in his first two games whilst silvagni has also played two outstanding games. the hyperactive aggression of ballantyne is fantastic to watch as he madly chases either the ball or any opposition player silly enough to pick it up. morabito has shown glimpses of what he's capable of and i'm looking forward to watching him develop.

so, all is happy down at dockerland ahead of a huge test this week against geelong. wouldn't it be amazing if we could knock off the reigning premiers? there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to.

big kudos to our recruiters, 15 other clubs kicking themselves I reckon.
