Well after a few disruptions, we have our best 22 on the park aside from T Mac. A quality premiership defence - Petty/May/Lever/Salem/Hibbo/Gus/Rivers A quality Midfield - Clarry, Trac, Gawn, Viney, LJ, Langdon, Harmes, Jordon, Swallow A forward line - Fritsch, Brown, Melksham, Kozzi, Spargo, ANB Not hard to see what our weakness is but if we can win defence and midfield, we will score enough to beat the inconsistent dogs.

Lobb would be better than our key fwd options we have at the moment, but he is 29 and injury prone. has scored 30 goals and is playing 2nd ruck. been marking well. gettable key fwds are really few and far between at the moment would need a high first rounder too but

Gus is doing what he is well entitled to do and taking his time on the biggest contract of his career/life. Just like Viney and others he is taking time to think everything through and even considering if a move would be good for him. He will stay, he is playing the best footy of his career. He loves Goody and all his best mates, premiership mates are here No chance he will leave

In case people didn't listed to Sen, https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/daisy-pearce-reacts-to-rex-hunt-dermott-brereton-debate/news-story/8121d4f59c31c1b1d911d4692aad0b68 Daisy is so classy. About these quotas - there have always been quotas and its been 100% male. bang! love it. So classy, takes the high road but gets her points in. I am so glad my daughter has women like her to look up to. Also - the childish comment from Bucks to Huddo asking him how many games has he played on air, was really poor. Huddo is the best commentator in the game, you don't need to have played AFL to be respected.

Ward might retire? Still some quality players in the midfield. Not much down back or fwd. and Kelly & Whitfield should be dominating right now and they are far from it. Something smells there

I’ll reckon we’ll end up with one good pick - under 7 in the draft and an early second rounder. After weeks of speculation of players moving that won’t happen. E.g. pick 6 and 21. Some fans will lose their sht but that’s the reality imo cue the fans saying we shouldn’t accept that when we have no choice *I don’t know anything about how Freo get the picks

Can LJ just chill for a bit?? We are losing negotiation leverage. Buy a house after the trade mate.

We won’t get much for a kid with half a dozen games under his belt. 3rd round pick? he is worth a lot more than that imo.

Essendon can go and get [censored]!

Don’t want to lose Toby. Has shown a lot this year. Consistency will grow no deal

If that doesn’t make Tommo look for another club nothing will. Played very well last week. There are just better players

If Taranto, Hooper and Bruhn leave you might as well close up the gates at GWS Be warned Yze

Surely you’re not comparing footy to war??

If we did give LJ a big deal around 800K long term we would end up on Collingwoods situation in 2 years. You can’t have Trac, Clarry, Viney, Salem, May, Lever, Gus all on coin and not expect to push someone out. if we lose LJ, it’s a loss for sure. But we should be able to keep our core together and even trade in a key fwd for example Im glass half full today. Freo need to pay massive overs to attract talent

they were 10 wins out of 11 around this time last year Nobody remembers it, just what you do in finals and Gawny is the only one they will remember

Now that this Selwood rule is in, surely Joel retires after the usual Cats prelim exit this year? 10 years of top 4 and 1 GF loss to show for it. It's an equalised comp Cats, go down and take your lumps like the rest of us

I assuming Lever won't get up. cant risk his shoulder at this stage IN Clarry, Petty Out Melksham, Lever Throw Petty fwd I know putting Petty fwd is a risk and it is late in the season but we need to take a risk. Brown is on his own and Weed/M Brown are not up to it. BB is also a little injured and we need a big body up there

Talent wise we have the best list. the most talent in their prime. It is all down to the coaches and see if their plan to get us peaking at the right time. We have form issues, fitness issues so can we click? I think we can. The Cats are firing on all cylinders right now, but the GF is 2 months away. No way they can go 16 games unbeaten. I cannot wait to play the Pies and Blues. I think we will show them who can handle the heat at the pointy end of the season

Just when you think we are getting somewhere as a society, I read the hundreds of comments on these articles online. So disgusting. Bagging Daisy and Kelli - stay out of our game etc. I won’t repeat the rest of the tripe. Why is she being hired by the Cats then you morons?! Daisy is a gun and dead set legend

The way Dogs/Dees games have gone recently whoever goes on a run in the 2nd/3rd Q usually loses So I’ll be seriously worries if we are ahead early in the 3rd Q!

Luckily Buckley came in and fixed their culture. From a flag winning young team in a window to years without finals 😂

Great news regarding Lever!!

McClure said he would be amazed if De Geoy was at the Pies next year so sounds like this might not be the usual gossip If he was a tall fwd I'd maybe think about it. but he has shown time and time again he only cares about himself

Bombers should beat the Pies this week. They have their tail up That will get rid of one of the pretenders

Can see him going to the Saints as they desperately need a player like him. He can waste away his talent there
