Very patriotic.

There'd be plenty of them in England this morning who have won 4-2 in their World Cup opener against Croatia.

I'm going to play the Mark Duffield.

They've misunderstood what we were talking about, Fremantle, if, well, Mark Duffield has.

And here's a text message.

Claiming Freo have a huge advantage by using charter flights just shows how out of touch you are.

Murphy Freed has played, your Vic bias is beyond pathetic, it's childish.

I don't like saying this, but you are more on that person.

LAUGHTER

I didn't say it's a huge advantage over the competition.

I'm saying how great it is for your football club that you finally can charter flights.

The leg up is for yourselves over what you've had to deal with.

I had empathy for the Fremantle Football Club.

I wasn't saying, oh, look at Fremantle, look at this massive advantage they've got over the competition.

It's being understanding and empathetic of the challenge that Fremantle has and West Coast for a long period of time and how great it is that they can charter flights now to try and mitigate some of the challenges they're faced with.

Are they touchy over there?

Fremantle?

How could you misinterpret that, Tim?

No, no, there was no misinterpretation.

Mark Duffield is an experienced journalist.
