Sure his comment was fair in general, as is yours But he quoted me stating he finally laid a few tackles which is factual, so I didn't really get the response. That's all

No treating him like a 5yo Just acknowledging the poor performances and also acknowledging he laid a few tackles on the weekend. I think he should be at Casey but we can keep the reviews fair

I think this is part of the reason we moved Windsor back to HB We need some dash and skill off HB. Bowey also being used as our primary distibutor off HB

Nice work Goody! Stick it right up Freo Brad Green is showing the club it's OK to have some balls funny enough the media knobs don't like it and think Green's tweets are ridiculous. Sorry for pointing out how incorrect and full of it you guys are!

Winning 16 games/season in 2021-23 was pretty good fun But the major issue was we didn't get to see any of the fun in 21. Not sure I'll ever get over that if we we don't win another in my lifetime

**Positive Post Warning** FB Bowey May Salem HB McVee McDonald Rivers C Windsor Petracca Langdon HF Melksham Turner Sparrow FF Chandler Petty Pickett R Gawn Oliver Langford Int Fritsch Spargo Sharp Lindsay sub Laurie Actually not a bad starting 18 (*I've selected from the 26 picked) Main issues (aside from kicking straight) are McVee out of form and a lack of defensive talls, assuming Turner starts fwd. Rivers could be tried as intercept defender? Or Turner plays back and AJ comes in to ruck to leave Petty fwd. We need a stay at home tall fwd. Hopefully Viney, Lever, and in form Kolt and JVR can come in soon to increase the quality of our bench and we won't be an easy game for any team

Okay i agree Fritsch is horribly out of form but can we stop the no tackles name tag? last week he actually tackled unlike other weeks. he had 4 including 2 inside 50 tackles so if he is finally starting to do what the coaches ask….

Every single club is the same When winning the crowds are good, when losing not so good The hardcore fans go every week, the casuals fans go when it’s fun We just happen to have less of both than most clubs

Million dollar man Grundy signing a 10 year deal stands out as one of the worst contract calls in recent history Also Treloar for 6 years and trading him for peanuts after 1 year

looking like Melksham Petty Laurie in for JVR Jeffo and Kolt Decent changes. Fritsch hanging on by his short and curlies

Gold Coast should win this easily. Hawks have rested plenty Both Coming off a 5 day break but no travel for GC which is important

Blues made it in on 13 wins last year

PR 101 for LJ He can’t play the whole season with people thinking he will leave Refute the claims Houston style But I reckon he’ll be with us next year

We have virtually no injuries so we should see a continued improvement across the next month I reckon Some teams injury lists are really growing and this always has an impact eventually Can’t see us beating the best team in the comp though. Their midfield is ridiculously good.

Poor entries inside 50's going too wide Poor skilled players that just aren't good kicks like Viney, Trac etc Lack of mental toughness Not having a stable effective fwd line. JVR, Turner are very good kicks usually (and Fristch but I can't deal with him right now). If these 3 were in form and mentally in the zone with LJ as 2nd ruck we would see a big difference Every time a fwd has a shot they must feel like if they miss they might get dropped. Stability counts and we have zero

23yo Ruck/Fwd kicked 43 goals over the past 2 seasons Hit Out avg this year is >27 this year Our list is crying out for LJ! We have recruited VFL and players not getting a game to try to fill the void like Fullarton and AJ - he would have a huge impact on our structure In isolation (disregarding the Kozzi situation), this is a 'where do we sign' situation

You don't there is proof he exists?? *Sorry, I'll leave now.

Freo will be praying he doesn’t speak to reporters He makes Clarry sound like Stephen Fry

Future first and one player perhaps?

All we can do is speculate but if he wants away from family and old mates could be showing he is maturing. He made a bad call going back Who can stay away from the mighty demons???

As others have said, this is good and hopefully LJ realising his old mates and some family aren’t after his best interests. Premiership footy mates are mates forever

Rivers and others were very close to LJ Should be good for WA boys retention

Fantastic news!! We desperately need a 2nd ruck/fwd He is one if the very few that compliments Gawn and then he can take over in a few years

I played soccer for 20 years and I would say there is no benefit aside from general foot/eye coordination. I would say we play these games to mentally refresh, loosen the body and have fun. It is one of those things that people look at when you are losing and not if you are winning. Goal kicking is largely mental, these are professional athletes. Fristch is one of the best kicks for goal technically I have seen. He is missing due to pressure and the how tough footy is mentally.

Someone like an Andrew McQualter? I genuinely wonder how he would do at the demons. Is it just WC that are broken?
