I've been reading all the reasons why the pundits in the Melbourne footy media have Freo finishing between 7th and 12th this season, in defiance of the laws of mathematics (i.e.what is "x" in this sequence - 7, 10, 14.5, x?).
One of the reasons given for Freo's mysterious decline (apart from Lobb suddenly becoming today's Paul Salmon) is the "horror" draw the AFL have inflicted on us in 2023, with two games against Geelong, Brisbane, Sydney, West Coast and Hawthorn.
Much to my surprise, and no doubt theirs, this is our performance against the Frightening Five in 2022: Six games, Five wins, One loss.
They're our bunnies.
