Did Fyfey faucet and step down or was the tap on the shoulder remnants of the re-plumb and re-pipe era? Time to Restump Podcast all the angles and purple town news. Did Nat Fyfe deserve the opportunity to become Fremantle’s first premiership captain? Or does he believe his best chance at a cup was to relinquish the captaincy responsibility to focus on his game?Was he given a nudge or did he voluntarily step down? If so, who loaded the gun? Is it the right time to change captains? Will it change anything? Who gets the gig? Could we venture into the world of co-captains? All questions that need discussion. If we’re reading the play correctly it feels like Jimmy Aish may spend more time as an inside mid this year. How that will work is something we’ll have some sort of go at but more likely leave it up to the purple powers that be.  Has Sammy Sturt reached the required intensity levels? Is the forgotten man flying under the radar? Is he now the work horse and consequently a dark horse?Several flashes of brilliance and pristine field kicking has put some doubt in the Liam Henry knockers. Another Rory Lobb article, another whine!

Whether he makes it onto a list or not, the VFL’s gain though is the Harvey Bull’s loss.By all the endless reports, Carlton is travelling well domestically. However, some international concerns have apparently arisen.    Watching the regular match simulations and noting our largely very healthy list, we’re desperately trying to not fall into that preseason form trap. Because we all know that…. oh to hell with it, it’s too exciting, we’re jumping in head first. Shackles are off!We’re just 3 weeks away from the first official preseason game and just 34 days away from round one. Where the hell did January go? I’m pretty sure Christmas was last Sunday!So, if like us, you’re restless, full of nerves and anticipation and struggling to contain your excitement, then bung this hour of Docker drivel into your cranium car doors and join us and the Freo folk who’s ears can never be purpled enough.  Send us a textSupport the show
