Wirrapanda did not do anything wrong….but Shaun did everything right.

Shaun McManus
“Shaun McManus, the heart and soul of the Fremantle Football Club, will play his last game on Sunday against West Coast in Carlton Mid Derby XXVIII.” (story)
There has been no other player who has typified the Freo spirit than Shaun Mc Manus. The only remaining original Docker, he will be remembered for his unshirking spirit, relentless and positive player…and two cruel knee reconstructions which threatened to derail his career.
My favourite moments of Shaun include the Derby shirtfront which Wirrapanda put on him. This was when Melinda and I had seats near the city end….so it happened right in front of us. You could hear the crowd breathe in as they realised what was about to happen. Shaun lay motionless for a moment or two and Clive Waterhouse came over to try and take the kick. Shaun was having none of that. He stood up, shook his blond locks and calmy slotted it through from a tight angle on the boundary line.
Another favourite moment was against the Western Bulldogs in Melbourne where we won by about 86 points (I think). Shaun was under pressure to keep his place in the side and played a blinder. It included a succesful kick for goal on the run, on a severe angle. He gestured into the crowd towards his family.
He is the heart and soul of the club. Lets hope we can thrash the Weegirls and send him off in style. There will not be a dry eye in the place.
Theres only one true Port club…
And they dont wear teal!!!
Great win today, without Pavlich! Jonathon Brown said that Pavlich would beat Port…..well Brownie….Freo beat Port…fair and square, with 16 individual goal scorers…a club record.
Crowley played a leaders game, Peake is back to his best. In fact Peake kicked a 65 metre goal! Thats extraordinary.
Farmer was typically unselfish and seems to have found some new life on the wing. Tarrant played as a team player. I was also impressed with Mark Johnson. One particular ‘bullocking’ goal where he bashed through 4 of the teal warriors and slammed it through typified Freo’s insistence that they were going to win today. Loved it……
Btw….I am sounding like a broken record, but Freo has the best group of young players coming through. Palmer, Ibbotson, Mayne and Warnock.
Lots of visitors….
It really does feel like a new church. One of the reasons is that we are getting lots of visitors who are coming back. This is creating issues! But they are good issues. We might have to rethink our stage…we certainly have to work on seating issues. Today…when all the kids went out…the place was still pretty full…..
In a couple of weekends we are doing a ‘guess whose coming to dinner’. The last two weekends we have invited two new couples….if the trend continues we are going to need to get a bigger table…and another chicken.
I enjoyed speaking today…..God is good.
Eliot and the band kicked out an awesome rendition of U2’s “One”. sounded great, and was a great lead into the message.
