I thought his parents were moving over here? He may want to go to Perth for other reasons. I hope not. 

I don't think that was ever a thing. This was based on a newspaper article from Canberra with no quotes from either manager or relative and some just ran with it.

His parents are still living in Perth and both are still heavily involved with the East Fremantle Football Club.

    Oliver sat on the bench a lot. The Aish tag is overrated, as Oliver was benched for 10 minutes after his great start, then benched again later on for a more than usual amount of time. When Oliver was up and about could Aish have stopped him? No. 

    Agree. Freo's performance was more than the sum of its parts and this was a small detail en-route to the bigger picture of winning on Sat. reasonable tag, but Clarry still had 36.

    If teams think their big chance is by simply sitting on Clarry, then go for it.

    That's interesting, I wonder if more than just Trac were affected by something

    .... I also think there were a couple of other flow on effects in that game against Freo which we had the "inside info on" but didn't use it.

    That's a mysterious statement. Care to expand?

    Most of the team was unwell on Saturday night. Explains why they were run over in the 2nd half.

    Maybe. But what evidence is there for that (beyond Tracc)?

    Have a look at the Casey game, it was a replica of ours, except that Frankston kicked poorly for goal in the second half.

    Daw pulled out ill on the morning.

    All true and does increase the probability of widespread sickness to the casual observer (ie. me), but doesn't prove it ( North has been ill all year?).   But I'd prefer independent evidence of sickness. Thanks to tilly18 for his info which I trust is good and is a relief to hear.

    As if Goodwin or any of the players are going to say half the team was ill! 

    They respect the opps and Freo deserved to be respected.  Longmuir saw that Petracca and Petty were hampered, that May was off.  He made all the right moves at half time to take advantage of them.  A lesser coach may not have made the right moves.

    Goodwin is no Chris Scott who bleated illness after the Prelim.  While true, we annihilated them and he came across as a sour grapes, sore loser.  Not sure he gave us any credit in the post game press conf either.   We deserved more respect.

    I'm pleased the club has kept the illness close.

    It’s all about acting professionally, with respect to the opposition and is part of  a strong culture.

    Of course he wouldn’t say it. But him not saying it is not evidence it was the case. We can infer all we like but Thanks again to Tilly18.

    Lol, I totally agree about this.  I thought the way Chris Scott came out after the Prelim and immediately blamed illness for their performance was deplorable and yet another reason to really not like the guy or his team.

    Bodes well for any future meeting this season at the G. We looked far better than them at times early.

     

    Hang on, what on earth is this doing in the Luke Jackson contract thread?

    Might be a good idea for Jackson to sign his contract now because the way he's going the offer may be reduced.

    As much as I love Luke Jackson, if he is too leave. What about a trade of Oscar Allen and no. 1 pick, maybe a second pick too for Luke Jackson. We need a key forward and he is about to hit his prime years

    Not a chance we’d get that bounty for Jackson, irrespective of WA born Allen agreeing to leave his home state.

    Oscar Allen is an absolute gun when injury free while LJ has battled to take 2 marks a game this year.

    It would be closer to a straight swap with WC giving us a sweetener.

    Oscar Allen is a good player but no way is he anywhere close to a straight swap for Dogga

    Allen plays third tall after Kennedy and Darling. Dogga helped us crack open the game in the 3rd quarter of the granny. At age 20

    Because he grew up there.

    Has Luke ever said that he wants to go home? He looks pretty Mature for his age and hopefully he isn’t satisfied with one finals series, teammates coaches his personal growth and being a legend of the MFC.?

    • 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.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
