Hi everyone, Matt de Boer here. Looking forward to some hard hitting questions!

Comment From H
Have you enjoyed playing footy

Hi H, since a little kid I have always enjoyed playing football. Now it is great I am able to do it at the highest level.

Tara @belfast_gurlxxx
#Askdeboer Which young star will be the next big thing in your opinion? Tara :)

Jaeger O'Meara from the Suns came down and trained with us as a 16 year old and from that training session I could tell he was going to be a gun!

Comment From Danny
How's your body feeling going into the finals matt?

The body feels great Danny. We play all year to be in this position and now the "real" season starts

Comment From Simon
Does the number '9' have any significance to you?

Number 9 was always my junior footy and basketball number so when it became available I thought I would go full circle and start to wear that agai

Comment From Liam
Hello it's Liam the kid that wears number 9 around and you got a photo of me on your phone :)

Hi Liam, good to hear from you mate. I'm sure you would be happy with the win Liverpool had on the weekend as well!
Thanks for all of your support!

Comment From Rosica
Are you originally from perth?

Yes Rosica, I played for Claremont originally and grew up in Shenton Park

Comment From Matthew Hannigan
Hi Matt, Matt also here... What's the mood amongst all you boys ahead of the challenge at the cattery??

We are all really excited Matty. Can't wait to get down to Simonds Stadium and take on the Cats

Alex.kain@Alex55Kain
Who's the most annoying teammate to room with @Fremantle_FC #AskdeBoer

Thankfully we don't have to share a room when we travel. However Tendai Mzungu is a known sleep walker so I wouldn't want to room with him!

SIVAN@SIVAN81
#AskdeBoer Congrats on your season so far, you've been great. Who has been biggest inspiaration for you career?.

Hi Sivan, My dad has always been a great influence and inspiration on my career. David Mundy has also taught me a lot!

Comment From Jack
What would you love to do after your football career? :)

I am currently studying law/commerce at UWA Jack so hopefully I'll put that degree to good use!

Comment From FFC2013
heeey, whats your favourite thing to unwind before and after a match

Before a match I always go to the beach to wake the legs up! After the game I like to go out to dinner with friends and often watch a movie!

Comment From paul
are you more of a batman fan or a superman fan??

Superman!

Comment From Mace
Who is the best laugh around the club?

Kepler Bradley and Tendai Mzungu

Comment From Peta
Hi Matt! Really looking forward to seeing you and the boys beat those Cats on Saturday! Go get 'em!!

Thanks Peta!

Comment From Guest
gday matt any difference in preparing this week to other weeks

No not at all. Throughout the year we have built a strong routine and preparation into games which will continue this week and hopefully further

Comment From Jon
How important is the Freo crowd at Patersons?

The boys often talk about how good our fans are. We love the roar and the mexican wave at the Port game was awesome

Comment From Mason Del Rio
whats Hayden Crozier like around the club?

Hi Mason,
Crozy is a really hard worker with massive potential. You'll be seeing more of him in purple I'm sure!

Tanisha Coleman@07Tanisha07
@Fremantle_FC @mattdeboer9 Why do some of the boys swap jumpers at training? Like today when ballas wore hillys number #AskdeBoer
The jumper rack is in the middle of the change rooms and the boys just like to mix it up sometimes. Ballaz always wears Hilly's number and vice versa

Comment From Shaggy
Do any of the retired Fremantle players still come and visit? If so who?

It's always good to see Shaunny Mac bouncing around the club.

Comment From Charlie
Is the food you have when you travel up to a good healthy standard and how do you find sleeping not in your own bed when away?

We have a great dietician who ensures the food on away trips is to a high standard!

Comment From Jon
Who is a young player from Freo to look out for in the future?

Jack Hannath and Josh Simpson will be the ones to watch!

Comment From stuart
hey matt whats the training like under ross lyon?

We always train at a high standard as we know it translates into game form

Comment From Ben Oslay
Who will win the doig medal this year?

I think half way through the year Luke McPharlin would have been leading however he has been unlucky with injury so I think Crowls could go back to back with Michael Johnson and Chris Mayne right up there also

Comment From Jesse
Hey matt, Jesse here, I hope you and the boys have an awesome game on the weekend and make it all the way to the end and bring home the cup. I'll be watching goodluck!

Thanks Jesse

Comment From stuart
how much you have to run to keep up with afl level?

Fitness is a big requirement at the AFL level. That's why there is such a big emphasis on preseason training and improving your tank!

Comment From Racca
Hi Matt, You're my Favourite player! what are you're plans for the off season?

I'm actually heading to South Africa on Safari. I'm really looking forward to it

Comment From Guest
A match up between you and Crowley... The winner is?

Crowls definitely!
I think he is in All-Australian form!

Comment From Dale
What's your favorite thing/things about living and working in Perth?

I was fortunate enough to be drafted to a team in my home state. So being able to stay at home with my family and friends is great. Plus the beaches are awesome!

Comment From Steve
Biggest club bromance?

Micky Barlow and Lee Spur have a bit of a bro-mance going on

Comment From Mark
Whats your favourite movie?

Remember the Titans. If you haven't seen it do yourself a favour

Comment From stuart
what is pav like?

Pav is a great player obviously but what you guys wouldn't know is just how significant a leader he is on moulding and educating the young boys

Comment From Jonesy
whats your favourite dinner for the night before a game?

Spag bol!

Comment From Megan
Who looks at themselves in the mirror the most?

Hayden Crozier

Comment From Snake
What was your first ever part time job?

I was a bike courier

Comment From Sam
How do you find the time to play football as well as study such a tough degree?

We get one day off a week, which is Monday. I try to schedule all of my lectures and tutes for that day. Also when we are on the plane it is a good opportunity to get some study done

Comment From Ryan
Hey Matt, whose got the heaviest bench press out of all you boys?

Ryan Crowley has the record. However pound for pound Ballaz is the strongest

Comment From Aaron Bisignano
What has been your most memorable moment with the Fremantle Football Club?

The final we won last year against Geelong on the MCG and also my first game against the eagles!

Comment From Mrs De Boer
Hey Matt, whats in them purple Fremantle plastic bags all you guys all carry when your departing at the airport for an away game? it always intrigues me

We get 2 x 1.5l water bottles for hydration. We also get a nutritious bread roll to eat on the plane

Comment From Guest
Is there a certain charity you help out with throughout the year?

I am an ambassador for the Starlight foundation.

Comment From Dario
Who do you usually sit on the plane with?

It varies but throughout the year I have sat next to Nat Fyfe and David Mundy the most

Comment From Jayden
whos the fastest in your club

Ballaz, Hilly and Ibbo would make for an interesting 100m race. I think Hilly would just win

Comment From Jane
What is your signature dish to cook to impress?

I do a mean beef stroganoff

Comment From Rob G
Hey Matt, I love your style- can you tell me some of your favourite clothing labels?

I like Deus, Zanerobe, Lee and Ziggy!

Comment From Adam
Where's the surname come from? Dutch?

Crowls keeps telling me it's South African but it is in fact Dutch!

Comment From Chanel
Where's your favourite place to go to for a footy game?

The MCG is great to play at as that is where the Grand FInal is played however nothing beats the crowd at Patersons

Comment From Erin
When you get the powerade water bottles on the field during games, is it actually powerade in them or just water? (lame question but I've always wondered!)

The light blue lids are water and the black lids are powerade!

Comment From Hayley
My Dad loves your app -footy star and tracks my brother's game each week.

Thanks Hayley

Comment From Craig
Whats the plan for the rest of the day?

Hi Craig I actually have a massage this afternoon and then a yoga session

Thanks for all the questions guys!
Looking forward to an exciting finals series and really grateful for all of your support!
