This Club was reborn today in front of 38,762 fans.

This was the game that signalled the beginning of the future with our young stars following Pav's lead . It was truly character building stuff and a great feeling for this fan.

Pavlich played one of the best games he has ever played for Freo not so much for possessions or other stats but for genuine leadership at crucial stages of the game. His long goals and pack busting possessions were just awesome, even by his standards.

Stephen Hill is now just so dangerous for Freo that he can now expect a full on tag every week.

Morabito is just so close to exploding onto the scene it's nerve wracking. He just oozes class and is such a strong player that he could be considered a future Pavlich in waiting.

Another fantastic game from Barlow and Silvagni and Suban got his mojo today. Damn shame about the injury.
I reckon this was a bigger victory than the St Kilda one pointer Friday Night game when J Lo took that pack mark and goal after the siren.

I'm not going to bring up the dubious decisions that looked set to derail an honest team's effort because that would take the deserved focus off what was just a fantastic performance by the Dockers.

I am feeling as proud as I possibly can.
