    Big call by Crackers Keenan - GWS will struggle

    Critics of Sheedy have said he only went back to coaching to break Jock McHale's record but he believes the fire still burnt in his belly.

    He was rejected by Melbourne and Richmond before becoming the successful candidate for GWS.

    Others have said that he went back to coaching for an even more fundamental reason and that he made the courageous move to Bleaktown for the same reason his star player did - the $.

    And that is the stuff that failed franchises in sport are made of.

    This is a strange article by Crackers.

    He's having a few bob each way when he takes aim at GWS and then says that the place is a "promised land".

    While he looks at the veterans (mainly on pensions) recruited by GWS his analysis completely fails to consider the inexperience and lack of physical and mental maturity and quality of the five uncontracted players picked up by GWS with the help of the generous concessions provided by the AFL.

    There's nobody there in that vital mid 20s age range who can lead this squad and provide the necessary on field guidance to cope with the team's initial years in a tough competition. At least the Suns recruited such players as G. Ablett Junior, Brown, Brennan, Rischitelli, Bock and Fraser who were the backbone of their team last year to provide that guidance for the kids.

    GWS picked the eyes out of the young talent in a shallow draft and have some very good young players coming into the system but we know it takes years of development with the help of seasoned players around them to bring them up to the levels required to achieve a successful combination on the field.

    I think it's going to be an even longer wait than even Crackers thinks and it might not even happen at all.

    Is it any coincidence that free agency will be introduced around the same time as a team with bottomless pockets?

    GWS will get all the players they need, by hook or by crook! Mostly by hook but plenty of crook too I'm sure

    Not necessarily. It does mean though that victorian clubs such as the MFC have to improve in all areas of contract negotiations both GC $un$ and GW$ will not have bottomless salary caps forever. If i was Nought Melbourne or Footscray i would be feeling a little vulnerable.

    Complete proof there was no knee soreness causing those 'average efforts' throughout the year.

    lol @ that article.

    Is that for real? Wanting to find out who'd win if Scully sat out? Hey genius, how about the guy that comes 2nd to Scully, I reckon he might be the one.

    "And of course not only have they already got players but next year under the eagle eye of Phil Scully, the $100,000 recruiting man, they'll have even more young talent."

    Crackers taking the urine. Love it.

    I also hold very bitter feelings about the snot nose kid ( may he rot in hell) but complete proof - please point me to where the article gives complete proof he had no knee soreness last year ?

    He had a bung knee - he was out for the better part of the last half of the season and now it might be feeling better ? is that a possibility ? It is unheard of that a footballer has an injury, rests and it gets better ?

    Actually, I would have thought that the article could just as easily be construed as complete proof that he does have an issue with the knee... it is certainly a much more feasible explanation for having him do a lighter training load (75%) than his team mates... as was mentioned before, all Shoddy needs to do is watch who follows Sulky in to work out how well they are traveling.

    In other words Sheedy is saying

    "Tom has a saw knee that the whole of Australia hope buckles and we have to restrict his training and always will"

    Go F**k yourself you greedy bunch of scumbags

    Yup - you could certainly read that into the article.

    This is the Scullduggery thread, right? I posted a huge picture of the Sculldugger himself!

    Honestly, I am sure most of us are over it and just despise him. Couldn't help myself when I found an oversized picture of Benedict Arnold.

    Yes, but Benedict Arnold rarely appeared in Pro-Revolutionary War Forums for fear it would embolden the enemy and just [censored] people off...

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
