I think we accidentally won at least 6 games, thanks to the incompetence of the opposition.
The Gods have been against us several times. I have listed some examples below as evidence.
- Mundy tries to shank one through for a point after the siren - he totally miscues and it goes through for an unwanted goal. Freo Win.
- Kerstyyn tries to get tackled against North - the idiot kangaroo player falls over and kerstiien is forced to kick a goal out of his backside. Freo win.
- Nyhuis tries to do the right thing as a debutante and play badly, but fails miserably, and somehow his horrendous kick floats over some moron's head for a goal. Freo hit the front.
Then Darcy tries to make amends for Nyhuis's blunder by giving a free kick away to Goldstein - The big Roo shanks it through for a point. Freo win.
- MacCarthy tries an airy but his enormous big toe connects with the bouncing pigskin and a goal is registered. Freo hit the front.
Then Kerstuun kicks an intentional deliberate of bounds on purpose, but Melbourne are too stupid to seize the advantage - Freo win.
- Essendon come to Perth and dominate the start of the match, then suddenly realise that people might suggest they're back on the elephant juice, so they stay in the changerooms after halftime - Freo Win.
- Carlton also have a tremendous start before realising they are, after all Carlton. Freo Win.
Based on those indisputable facts - Freo should have won approximately zero games, and finished last, so yeah we were tanking from the start, and only terrible luck has prevented us from finishing last, and getting our hands on the number one draft pick.
You may pat me on the back later, right now I'm trying to look busy.
