Kind of glad it’s over… we were limping to the finish line. Key players on every line seemed rooted. LJ can go, mini replenish of the list and fill some holes and back at it in 2023.

Jackson isn’t 7 years into the system and stagnated. Jackson has proven big game experience and played a vital role in a flag winning team. Jackson isn’t in abundance, I hate the term but he is a unicorn. Jackson’s value is evident by freo offering 800k plus for a 20 year olds signature.

Clayton doesn’t only touch the ball 19 times a game, you would expect a player playing as many midfield minutes as hopper you would have more than 19 touches with bugger all score involvements. If you read my post you would see I said baulking at his value of two first rounders, and compared him statistically to Sparrow, which the numbers do not lie. One season in what 8 making the AA 40 squad doesn’t give you a value of 2 first rounders. He isn’t all Australian, as you alluded to he is a pure mid that has only ever averaged 26 touches in his best season, he doesn’t kick goals, he has little score involvements… so yes I am perplexed at the potential trade value of 2 first rounders.

Indeed I have watched him and cannot see what makes him a gun? In fact he ranks elite in only one AFL metric which is goal accuracy only because he almost never takes shots at goal. Don’t get me wrong a decent but average footballer in the afl landscape, only guns should be traded for 2 first rounders, he has not proven to be a gun.

25 year old who should be in his peak averaging under 20 touches as a mid, doesn’t kick goals and doesn’t hurt you with you with his touches. I’d disagree and say he is criminally over rated. statistically Tom sparrow offers more and is 3 years younger. Would you expected 2 first rounders for sparrow?

Twoomey also reckons hopper is with two first rounders (be it two late teen first rounders) by that logic Jackson would be worth 8 first rounders

We need a second tall plain and simple, we have got too cute with max starting forward and letting LJ start ruck. Max is the captain and the man, own the ruck and bring us another cup. I watched Casey up here against Brisbane and watched Weid very closely, granted it was one game but Wylie Buzza took him to the cleaners, any contact in a marking contest completely deters his ability to complete. JVR on the other hand, looked like a footballer, much bigger than I expected. Competed in the air and was good on the ground. Debutants provide energy to the team and we could ride his story through the next 3 games. He won’t need to come in and star, just play his role and provides unknown to our opposition. I’d 100% be bringing him in. Ins: JVR out: melksham chandler for sparGOAT if he can’t get up.

Rest him… would prefer him to be ready to go for a prelim if we make it rather than limping through a semi and being rooted for the prelim

They literally haven’t won at the G for over a decade and we absolutely [censored] on them there 10 games ago

ANB was horrible, Melksham would have lost his spot, LJ was shocking.

This was a [censored] poor performance tonight, really disappointed

Game over… lack very costly errors

Eat [censored] papley you [censored].

The sparGOAT at it again… amazing kick

I can see his hair…. Chill

Lets [censored] gooooo

Said it last week he is the perfect sub option

What a [censored] week it could be for Freo… lost their top 4 spot thanks to one almighty Carlton choke… their champion pings a hammy and won’t play in the elim… LJ says no dice and signs on… they will likely be bundled out of the finals in 3 days…

His knee up “technique” is such a bad look and terrible for the game, said it time and time again needs weeks for it. It’s a dog act and shows how terrified he is if the contest. As mentioned above imagine what happens when it causes a serious injury to a player contesting within the rules.

De goey such a [censored].

Cox needs to be rubbed out for these dirty knees in ruck contests. Dog acts that need to be punished.

Dermie really is a bumbling [censored]… I don’t know what fox is thinking having him calling games

I think we have got our training loads perfect to perform solely for Kent’s final game… kent to kick 3 goals plus and we win by 10 points… up the sainters
