  1. Completely wrong take. Kid is Exact opposite and he lives 500kms from Perth.
  2. Have you watched his high lights ? We need his skill and power and is a needs pick. Is a ripper guy and a real live wire according to the experts and he will be a great Clubman also.
  3. DO Don’t know if you realise Esperance is about 500kms from Perth? So who would do the camera work other than the great shots we have got from the Perth 7 news. Via someone in the family also has or Ch 7.
  4. Too much theory. Each player has strengths with which we can prosper. It’s up to us to develop and train both and all our young talents on the plan that we play. Both have a great opportunity. Must say I think we should have picked Curtin then Windsor. Good KP players are hard to find. We could be bluffing of course.
  5. That’s not correct. We won the flag in 2022. So your post isn't even correct for 2022.
  6. No it’s never wasted but disappointing as we could have done better.
  7. JT our whipping boy Jimmy Toumpas. Just emphasises what a stupid and negative idea this is from the FD.
  8. I hope we don’t get this opportunity to try such a scatterbrained idea. Dangerous Trac doing this even once let alone multiple times per match.
  9. Tommo hasn’t got the run he had with GWS That is 5 years (seasons) ago now. So does Tommo rest forward or back or I/Change? Not going to happen. I am happy for JVR to continue his cameo role as forward ruck. Gets him in the game more and he is not the worst competitor on the forward line.
  10. It’s such a shame you are so negative. Many posters post as if these 18yo future players should be the finished product. Hoe long did it take for Trac to really establish his position in t he top 5 players? About 3/4 years. 2020 was his breakout year culminating in his Norm Smith medal as his greatest game and highlight. Other than his kicking for goal and occasionally passing he has maintained his very high standards over the next 2 years. Your dissection and total brutal exploration of Curtin is exactly what recruiters should not do. List all the negatives and ignore and undervalue other experts assessment of a player s skills against his own age, which is generally the really best guide ( other than Colts or maybe SANFL standard comps around Australia. And he is 197cm listed and you don’t believe he is tall enough for a KP defender! How tall do you want? The great Stephan May is only about 193cm and he goes pretty well!! You are also looking at Curtin being a mid primarily. My goodness Jacko was a revelation so if Curtin is as good we have a player of A grade potential on the ball and/or as a KP prospect extraordinaire. All under age talents ( except for maybe Clarry Nick D and the Bont ) need time to develop physically and mentally and we must be patient. JT and TL will do their best and I look forward to supporting our choices along with the new trades Billing’s McAdam and Fullarton in their Demon journeys to assist our existing stars to get our 14th Flag. Bring on 2024.
  11. Is Marty your brother ? Seriously gushing over a 28 yo defender who played 14 average games in a modest year. I hope Disco gets a fair go ahead of Marty and can only see him as a break glass if broken 8th, 9th or 10th defender, Also believe Disco is a really nice young man as well and can play a bit.
  12. Yes you will after Round 5 the bye round. And it will alter ( as it has done in each season ) after the second bye. This happens each year after the bye so your point is completely wrong. It doesn’t happen for all season any year and quite frankly who cares.
  13. Most of your history is 5 years ago! Marty is 28 and most other Dees listed players 19-25 years and spots are precious on an AFL list. It’s just a poor recruiting decision in age and position and Marty won’t replace Dunstan or Harmes or Jordan. Maybe a case for Hibbo but we are not really short of half backs. It’s forwards and match winners we need skilled finishers. And money is not always a good guide to recruitment of players! Hope they reconsider this potential move.
  14. Was not commenting on Maynard and Murphy. That was a real footy accident. irony is that a Pie may be forced out of the game and Angus is free to choose to play on or not. The fact that as it was Maynard also with Murphy is now another ironic part I was not centred upon. Possible Karma for Pies ( totally Unlucky for player Murphy who we hope makes a complete recovery ) from a footy accident when the other incident was not an accident IMO.
  15. Hanks had almost admitted ill health in interview on afl.com.au. But said all who played were fit Tom play. Still don't agree either with you on your opinion just because you don't like their views on Goody or our team. If they belong to D/L they are able to post snd as long as Andy passes it that's it. That's what this forum is in Many ways is about.
  16. How come you couldn't find room for him ( AMW) in our first 41 then. It only needs Goody and Casey selectors to deprive him of vsludnle time on HD ground and Hire is taking up time snd space for our youngster that needs all the experience necessary. Just a bad policy both fir any of our young Casey players inc. AMW and Disco who you had in one of your AFL 2024 teams instead of Tommo but have changed. Age vs youth agsin .
  17. It's just as possibly not also. Leake and others could be favoured.
  18. Our AFL lawyer was hopeless and did a disgraceful job in representing Angus. If the biochemist guy says you have 0.45 seconds to change your position stands to reason you have even less if you are going to be attacked. That removes any responsibility for Angus "changing lanes " that was ridiculously stated. It was a natural movement after kicking the ball. No challenging indicates AFL was half hearted and no cross examination of Pies legal advocate who made some outrageously incorrect statements that should have been challenged.
  19. Ironic if Murphy is forced out of the game and The thug Maynard continues without any penalty other than sleepless nights. And rejection from the Brayshaw family and Angus etc. Main thing is that Angus looks as though he is ok snd able to choose to start training on time if he wishes. Naturally that means he has passed all tests and life is fine again from all angles and a clear road ahead,
  20. Yes but some of Windsor or Wilson should be available at 11 and don't inflate the no's because they are academy or sons snd lalready not included or added in the no's. 13 is the same as 11 in the proper list it's just that there will be bids forcing the Academy snd father/sons to be taken.
  21. Really what a negative Nellie you are Debauched. When we go to NT it is OUR choice and in 2023 we had 7 interstate games inc. Gather Round, Geelong and Saints at Marvel. 13 MCG games with away Tigers Blues and Hawks fixtures. 2024 May be the same but you have only heard a small portion of the Draw but launch Into criticism prematurely and negatively like a child bring refused lollies before dinner. The MFC have gad their chance to request options in the draw so wait and see about how their wishes have been responded to.
  22. Part of supporting a Club is adapting to the conditions handed to you. Yes it's always a bummer when some groups have to think on the run but that's life. The progressive groups find a way and move on learning from it for the next time. Worry about the things under your control and we don't control the draw and would be laughed out at if we used these reasons to want to give up prime time and free to air advertising in our draw requested. It's called progress and that's what our Club has been developing for the last decade. Opportunities will open and let's take them when they arise.
  23. Yes we have earned our status rise and the right to enjoy it also.
  24. As we grow we deserve the spoils awarded to other Clubs. What do these family friendly games involve ? Big gaps in the crowd so kids can wander safely or families spread out over spare seats beside their bags etc. Let's not go back to early Sat or Sun games with 20,000 fans and no atmosphere. We are bigger than that and deserve all the financial and other advantages while we have our premiership window open and opportunities akin to our place in the sun, which ironically means more prime and night games.
