Sports psychologist Shayne Hanks has said Wharfie Time need not become a problem for the Fremantle Dockers, arguing it could remain a positive influence if the club does not treat it negatively.
Hanks also made clear that Fremantle can continue to benefit from playing Wharfie Time during matches next year, provided it is not used as an excuse for defeat.
The concept will only become an issue in the future, he said, if people begin to view it as something negative rather than using it positively.
