Lol.. Which half? The first half of the year where we won 9 in a row or the 2nd half of the year where we won 7 in a row to charge into the finals series where we completely obliterated teams. Under Greg Stafford last year - Bayley Fritsch kicked 59 goals including 6 in a grand final. The most in any grand final since Darren Jarman in 1997. An unbelievable stat that's been laying dormant for 15 years. - Kozzie Pickett kicked 40 goals in just his 2nd year of AFL as an 19 year old. Compared to the past great small forwards in the game such as Cyril Rioli, Stephen Milne and Eddie Betts at similar age he completely blows all 3 out of the park. - Our grand final score of 21.14.140 was the highest grand final score since 2007 when Geelong thumped Port Adelaide. I can keep going if you want..? Look, people can bag Stafford all they want, but when it came to the pressure cooker of last year's finals, our scoreline and dominance in forward half territory was the most dominant displays we've see from an AFL club for years. It was elite by a fair margin.

Pretty sure that wasn't the case with Thompson? If I remember at the time, Thompson went back home due personal family issues. I swear also there were reports he had a minor falling out with Neale Daniher towards the end as well.

I remember watching him at the MCG round 1 last year against Gawn and surprisingly kept Gawn well held. I remember he was one big [censored].. Also looking at his WAFL stats this year, he seems to do alright around the ground. Few 20 plus disposal games.

I'm not sure you do either.

Paul Hasleby would absolutely still have contacts at Fremantle.

Lol.. surprise surprise.. Must be the year of rewarding mediocrity. Unbelievable.

Because the team selection this year has been a genuine head scratcher. Honestly would not surprised if this was the case. If Melksham is selected off the back of his poor performance at VFL level last week then I'll riot.

Source?

Get Brayshaw into the guts. Wasn't it in Alice Springs against Adelaide 2018 that Brayshaw had 37 disposals and 3 goals?

Is this a sign.............

Oliver ruled out.

In a heart beat!

Expectation: In: JVR, Laurie Out: Bedford, Spargo Vs Reality In: Melksham, Mitch Brown Out: Bedford, Oliver.

Matt Egan.. lol

[censored] it IRW, I like your hustle..! Just on kozzie I'd like to see him spend more doing at centre bounces. I reckon it adds a whole new dynamic to our midfield rotation. And just on rewarding players in the twos, I also dont mind the idea. Some fresh faces can sometimes give the team some energy and life just like Bowey did last year. Could it be Laurie? Chandler? JVR? Time to start actually rewarding form and not rolling in the same names that we have this year.

Tried that last year to little success.

How does Brady Eawlings escape all this? He's been an absolute mess of an appointment.

Yep. He's contracted for another year as well. He'll only go to another club if that club shows genuine interest and feels it's a much better fit. Our forward depth will be tested next year, and Weideman will need to be kept on the list. I do wonder whether we'll add a delisted free agent insurance for a ruckman or key forward for further depth.

Club like Hawthorn who have a similar game plan as you suggested.

But he's not behind Cox though.. He's out with a long term injury. Had he not be injured Cox would be playing VFL and taking calls from suburban clubs for next year. Grundy is 20 x the player Cox is.

Laurie was an elite 2km runner..

I was talking good players..
