What was the immediate reaction of Fremantle fans after the Saturday loss?
Kane and Kingy.
Let's head to Perth to a man who built the whole place. He built up the stadium with his bare hands. He's back there. Tim Gossage is his name. Good friend of the show, Goss. Good morning. What's the mood as you wake up on a Monday morning after
a
disaster?
Morning, boys. Got in at about 11 o'clock last night, but the planes were all packed. The airport was packed. People going both ways, of course, up to Brisbane and across to perth the moods were very different amongst the fans but i can tell you right here right now the mood is still shock and it was walking out of the ground so we we called where we called and we walked out of the ground i walked to my hotel straight across or whatever that big long parkway walkway thing is near the water and i was walking along there and i and it wasn't disappointment It wasn't anger. They weren't looking for reasons. It was just shock. And I mean shock. No one spoke. And I'm walking amongst thousands of Fremantle fans.
No one was talking. And I reckon today, public holiday in Perth, still not talking.
Goss is the official Deputy Vice-Captain of Fireball. He's the third member, the unofficial member, but we love him when he comes on. I thought you were strong Friday. I thought you had the best. I'm a bit surprised you're not in Kane's top ten of the weekend, to be fair. Well,
he would have been a winner if Mason Koch could have touched the ball,
Goss. No, that was a setback. That was a
blow.
In hindsight, that's one you would like to take back from earlier in the year, but I digress.
No, I'd
like
to
take
back the downhill skier too, just quietly. That's come
to... Oh, it was good for
three quarters.
Yeah, I know. I didn't mind it. The fact that you didn't know we were still on was a concern. What's the fallout been for the coach not putting Josh Tracy behind the ball with two minutes to go?
Belly and I are discussing this right now. We were trying to get our head around that because he was behind the ball earlier in that last quarter. In fact, he was behind the ball. I reckon if you look back, I reckon he was behind the ball when they were 17 points up. And then all of a sudden, and then it all went the other way. And... That's just been their one word, put him behind the ball, make it a two-on-two or a two-on-one, and Morris might not get the mark. And I thought Oscar McDonald had played really well during the day, but he just got one-on-one by Morris, who's a
superstar. I'm not holding Oscar responsible, but
why didn't he
do it?
Has there been anything tabled? No, nothing's been tabled, but Peter Bell is certainly looking at the vision as we speak, and he will certainly have a comment to make when we go to air.
Well, he took a contested mark on the wing with 2.40 to go and then he kicked it in and it went out of bounds. So there was about 2.10 on the clock. They do that regularly, guys. Do you think that's a breakdown from the assistant coaches supporting him or is it a breakdown for the senior coach just losing his mind or freezing a little bit?
Yeah, look, I don't know. And I don't know whether they were still just saying to themselves, let's just try and win the game rather than save the game. And, you know, Wolfie Diamond played. And I don't know. It was just a lot went wrong at the wrong time, didn't it, for Fremantle? And a lot went right for Brisbane based on what Will Ashcroft was able to do. And I couldn't believe it. Seriously, watching? I stopped commentating four goals in a row. I didn't even call those goals. I just could not believe it. I didn't. I just stopped. What did you do? What did you do for
four minutes? I
let the crowd tell the story, and that was enough. Are you going to give Hutchie a paycheck back? No, I thought I was pretty good, to be honest. You can see that on Instagram, two minutes. Oh, no, I was pretty good.
I heard a rumour you couldn't see the ground from where you
were. No, we could not. Well, I could, but Belly had no chance. And they put us in a block right behind the Brisbane Lions Bay.
Oh,
perfect. They embraced exactly what we were trying to do.
