Last time we had a brownlow winner in the GF was Woey and we finished second. If we get the winner this year we could even it up to 15 all

I've admired Tommy since before he was drafted bacause of his absolute desire to play AFL football, he worked his backside off, travelling long distances to train and play. Good on you Tommy. you showed em.

Do you have a link for this, I'm not on face book, it would be appreciated if you have.

That's the spirit Old, keep that positivity up.😂

All my Barcodes are gone, sorry for those that missed out I was prioritising long standing members and just wasn't sure of the newbies asking for them.

Still got a couple left but I'm going to be so PM me and I'll get back to you in the morning

I'll send you a PM with the barcode

I think we can arrange that. I’ll pm you the barcodes, they are GF guarantee tickets. just make sure the lot of you yell loud and often.

How many prIority 1 do you need?

I have quite a few priority 1 and 2 barcodes and if anyone is interested they can PM me, I'm not looking for payment. There are 6 priority one and maybe 7 priority 2, I'm not sure exactly. Get back to me and I'll respond in the morning.

I think it may have something to do with their aggro towards other supporters and the "we'll go it alone" attitude.

There may be some blow back if the AFL insists that the two clubs over there have to relocate here until the borders are open. I guess he cant keep the borders closed forever and once he does Covid will slip in. God only knows what Qld will do and they may have to relocate the Bears and Suns to NSW, that may not worry the locals as they don't really care about AFL anyway, but they sure as hell do in WA.

Do you think that the AFL and the teams will put up with that, it would be far easier to have the two WA sides come over here and go in to a hub.

So apart from Qld they are lagging behind all the other states. I think that shows they are well behind NSW and Vic, so I guess that does support the data.

Their premier was talking about 90% not 80%, if they can't achieve that they won't open up and they seem disinclined to vaccinate over there. They don't give a [censored] about the National Plan, they will do what they want. Maybe we won't have to trade for Cerra after all.

I don't know if this has been brought up but what happens if WA is still locked up at the start of the next year's football season? It appears that the government over there is talking about reopening the border next year and maybe around that time or later, would we just preclude Perth and Freo from the competition or would they have to stay over here in a hub, same with Queensland, I guess.

I agree with a lot of what you say, but you make assumptions that we will continue to improve, which, by the way I agree, however nothing is guaranteed and there's no way of knowing that we will, or will not, improve. You have to make the most of your opportunities, there are no tomorrows, it's sometimes now or never. If someone had told me when I left the MCG after the 64GF that we wouldn't have another flag in 57 years I would have told them they were stupid.

Then what's the point? If you don't care if your team is first why do you support them? Are you one that thinks participating is all that counts, everyone should get a ribbon even if they finish last?

I think that he is talking hypothetical, that's his idea how it could be done. It would shock me if the Dees even or ever considered trading any of the players mentioned. Why would you?

No

There is a thread on here, Angus Brayshaw Media Conference I certainly hope you're right and I hope he plays his days out with the Melbourne Footy Club

Have you listened to Gus's media conference? It's just a gut feeling but it seems to me that he would relish the opportunity to go to Freo and play with his brother. He seems to love the lifestyle in Perth and he was effusive about Optus Oval. I did also read on here, can't remember which thread, but a poster said Gus indicated he would like to go over to Perth to play at some stage.

From the Freo site. "Cerra made the step up and turned his potential into genuine AFL talent as he dominated a handful of games, including Fremantle’s wins against Hawthorn in round 11 and Melbourne in round 16. Playing mostly on the wing or as an inside midfielder, Cerra did things with the football that most AFL players couldn’t, with his spectacular goal against Melbourne just one example of his ability to execute by foot. He ranked second at Fremantle for tackles and at 20 years of age earned a third-place finish in the Doig Medal". Not saying I want to recruit him but this differs from your assessment of him. The only point I guess I want to make is that it's evident that Gus loves in the West and as he said, he has family over there, including his brothers and he was born over there. He talked about his love of the Stadium and the surface and from what he said it's only a matter of time before he returns. So if the opportunity to return there comes up in a trade for Cerra, he may put his hand up and suggest a swap. No one loves Gus more than I do, i've always been a fan and I'd hate to see him go but it's just a matter of time by the sound of it. He loves the Dees as well, but sometimes Family can be stronger than friends at a footy club.

I noticed with Alir Alir in the few games I saw him play that he would start the first quarter like a train but would drift out of the game the longer it went, perhaps a fitness issue.. Admittedly it was a small sample but just my observation.
