I guess the fixture to be expected given our form. Only one night game which i can't make as i've got a gig that night. Still boggles my mind a little we play home against the Pies on 9 June and then don't play at home again until 13 July.

Sort of depends on list retention (Pickett), small forward stock not the deepest at present.

he could be backing himself but also with Tasmania supposedly coming into the league in 2028 it makes sense for some players to renew up until 2027 because; They can use the new team as leverage They could potentially go to the new team and get a signing on bonus (which is a floated possibility).

is Jackson and Reid for Kozzie, Kolt and Woey fairer?

So they 'drop' the closest umpire for what was called as the worst non-call of the season, but somehow the player escapes a fine? Only rational i can think of is they thought he was 'scrambling' after the collision with team mate and it was accidental. long bow to draw though

Yeh, just found it interesting that in this thread we're asking for a sweeter in the deal but Freo fans are wanting us to chuck in a first rounder as well. Enjoy the different club based perspectives on it.

It's an interesting one given we have some young WA talent and KP but if you jump on the comment seection that facebook page Flagmantle it seems their fans think its fair to do Luke Jackson for Pickett and a first rounder. Freo have a few like Treacy and Murphy Reid i'd like to have a chat to. I'd rather retain Pickett but think that's wishful thinking at this stage

This is me, and I'm a nostalgia merchant and love an internet forum.

delayed concussion symptoms and only entered protocols on Thursday,.

He's seemingly got away with it (again)

afl.com.auTassie would be forced to trade SIX first-round picks as...Some of Tasmania's early draft picks would have to be traded under AFL proposalSome interesting proposals so far. Hopefully we're not cabbage in 2026.

Why do so many of these young fellas bounce the ball after 3-4 steps, seen our Langford do the same too. Just get in and run lads

So Laurie, Howes and AJ are the emergencies this week Seems at lest one (if not two) of them will have very limited game time seeing this kicks off at 11:05am in Footscray and we're on at 1:20 at the G

How willing would Freo be to get rid of LJ when the other main ruck is injury prone and not that mobile, and on 1 mil a season.

Stan edging close to buying EPL off Optus. But more interesting to see Stan (and Paramount) sniffing around the F1 who are in their final year of rights with Foxtel (who want to renew). AFL locked away Saturday fixtures behind Kayo, but Kayo could be losing content. Curious to see how that one plays out.

So just so we're clear. Player takes time off for mental health Media write 132 stories about said player President says leave him alone Media criticize President for criticizing media Media then promote Spud's Game, a game aimed at bringing awareness/funds towards mental health. Got it.

Gawn this morning on Radio “Clayton, there’s going to be stories about him until we are done,” Gawn said on Monday. “He made a very mature decision to spend the week off this week. It’s been a big eight weeks for him ... he felt like he was getting a bit overwhelmed and wanted a week off." “For his future, I am week by week with Clayton and the club. All I care is about him getting up for Hawthorn, doing it with a smile on his face, and whatever happens at the end of the year happens.” Gawn said he and his teammates would continue to support Oliver, not react to weekly news items, knowing any decisions made now “could change by August”. “I’ve lived with a lot of these stories. Some stay, some go,” he told Mick in the Morning on Triple M. “It’s all a beat-up in May. I could make a decision … that could change by August. The May story is really nothing. “I’m going to pretend it hasn’t been written. Nothing to see here. He’s coming over for a sauna tonight.” Oliver was given the rest after an “open dialogue” with the club but is expected to be available for this weekend’s clash with Hawthorn.

some iffy ball work at times but plenty to build on, 4th most contested possessions, 2nd most tackles inside F50. If he sharpens up the disposals he'll be fine.

Riddle me this demonlanders, I know some people argue about picking on best talent vs best option. If we're looking option wise, what type of player do we target with our first pick?

Hmmm, may May play May 3rd? maybe? Maybe not, Mayday for May.

Love Maysie but does appear that his body is failing him a little or he's being rushed back. Obviously isn't helped by Lever/Hore also being injured and Petty shifted forward (to some success) Maybe it's time to test JvR as a swingman as well?

Agreed Howes the more likely, seems they're happy with Petty forward for now.
