  • Disappointed

    Here's the part on back chat they didn't hand pick from there last episode regarding Lachie Schultz.

    - Overlooked in 3 drafts.

    - Went to Bali instead of Fitness Test with Freo.

    - Walls lied about height, skin tests & beep test to RL to make sure they'd recruit him.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Wharfie Time Wonders, Freo's list for Sydney & Swans Matchups | AFL WST
Q: What are your keys to victory for Freo this week?
The guests emphasize matching Sydney's intensity, limiting Errol Goulden, winning the forward-half game through turnovers and repeat entries, and having stand-up performances from Luke Ryan and Oscar McDonald in key matchups, with both sides needing to manage three-tall structures intelligently.
Best of Backchat with John Worsfold
Q: What was your rev-up speech like as a young captain preparing for a grand final?
My rev-up speech was met with mixed reactions from teammates who often thought I was too intense, but they respected the message and chose to focus on playing the game rather than engaging in a war-like mindset.
Best of Backchat with John Worsfold
Q: How old were you during the early days of West Coast, and how did your leadership evolve?
I was in my early 20s when I became captain, and leadership happened gradually through hard work, consistency, and supporting the coaches while staying true to our defensive-but-attack mindset.
Best of Backchat with John Worsfold
Q: Every guest we've ever had on BackChat gets the same question straight up. What is your greatest sporting achievement, not in football?
My greatest sporting achievement outside football was filling in for Fremantle Cricket Club in A-grade cricket at a young age, where I took a match-saving catch on the boundary and helped the team in a crucial moment, showing my versatility beyond football.
Episode 298 - Shaun McManus on Freo, Hammer on Clarko & Great Betrayals
Q: What was the main reason for Freo's loss according to Shaun McManus?
He cites Hawthorn's relentless pressure and Freo's failure to match the physical intensity and pressure, especially in the first half, as the decisive factors.
