Steven May plays off 3! I’d kill to have a swing that terrible!

The big clue is the very start of the video where the text says “Monday 18 November”!

They like to give the state leagues whose seasons start on March 22 a month to be able to get their houses in order without disruption.

Nice little snippet on the club’s instagram where Jason Taylor talks about this in the pre-draft meeting. As some have said, if Adelaide had taken Langford we’d have taken Tauru at our first pick and then Hendo later in the draft to balance out the list. As it happened we went two “smalls” so took Johnson as the tall. Edit: @adonskihas managed to successfully embed the video above which I could not!

Amateur hour.

Haha you’ve got this the wrong way round OF. The second bit is not in question at all. The first bit, we’ll see!

I’ve got a little family connection to Jack as well so rapt to have him at the Dees. Fitness won’t be an issue, he’s an elite runner and has kept himself ticking over in the off-season. Club have earmarked that ANB high half forward spot as his role.

Well Campbell is clearly the most “ready” to debut seeing as he’s been in the AFL system for over a decade. But you’d think it’s Langford who’s the most likely to debut in round 1.

The same thing might have been said about us prior to 2021. It’s going to happen. They’ve got comfortably the best list of 25yo and unders in the competition and very few holes in their list. If you don’t realise that you’re not paying enough attention.

Yep that’s a good point 👍 Along with the huge $ Jackson and Darcy are on…

Would be heartbroken to lose him, as would my nearly 4 year old. And the worst part is Freo are so stacked and going to be good for so long that they’ve got nothing of value to give us, if the reports from @Dannyzare correct that all Freo’s Victorian boys are happy there are correct, which I’m sure they are as he usually has great mail. After academy and father/son picks a pair or even three pick 20’s doesn’t really move the needle or give us anything close to what he’s worth to us.

He said on numerous occasions in interviews last year that the state of his ankle and foot means he no longer has the agility/mobility required to play forward anymore. Won’t happen.

Thanks for the great reports guys 👏

It’s always perplexed me how Steven May was able to play in the GF. Hammy has always seemed the one injury you can’t “play through”.

No dramas mate. Let’s move on! 🤪

Righto enough is enough. The information she provided was wrong. She said McVee didn’t need any assistance from trainers being taken off the field, all I did was point out this was actually not the case. Would it be preferable if we just exist in some kind of fairyland where nobody disagrees with anyone and nobody is allowed to point out that somebody might actually be mistaken? If binman had made this mistake I’d have pointed it out, if dazzle had made this mistake I’d have pointed it out, if picket had made this mistake I’d have pointed it out. In no way was it a personal attack on GW. I didn’t insult her, I actually said I appreciate and enjoy her training reports. Not once did I insult anyone, so I’ve got absolutely no idea how that has led to you saying “if you need help leaving this forum I reckon there’ll be many volunteering to help you”. And I do try to provide training reports whenever I can attend on Wednesdays. Not to the detailed level that GW does, which, I’ll say once again, I appreciate!

But…the information was made up. Surely they’re just words to live by, for everyone? Anyway, let’s move on FFS.

Was pretty forthright. But yes let’s move on!

What are you talking about? Nobody hates insights, nobody has said they don’t appreciate the insights. Nobody has insulted anybody else! People are just a bit thrown when those “insights” provided are proven to be patently false, that’s all 🤷‍♂️

Genuinely bizarre stuff 🤨

What on earth?! Nobody has insulted you! I said earlier your training reports are really appreciated. But you railed against misinformation from reporters and were then proven to have been guilty of the exact same thing yourself. I’d have pointed this out to any poster that had done the same thing, nobody is out to get you @Ghostwriter!

I was responding to your direct quote: He didn’t even have his arms around the doc and the physio Your insights from training are really appreciated, but please don’t flat out make stuff up otherwise people will start to doubt other things you say.

Huh?

[censored] off Brayshaw. God this kind of stuff is unseemly. It’s January and he’s contracted for 3 more seasons.

Keep in mind he was an absolute mess off-field at the time and couldn’t get his body right, so you can see the club’s point of view. Easy in hindsight, but he’s exactly the player we lack at the moment.
