could get a bit semantical

we could be open to number of sites that fit our criteria at the same time as having a particular preferred site

i'll put it as a 0:0 draw

I'm sure we have lots on the list as OD mentioned the club had told him above, but we currently do not have an approved site. But hey, I'm sure Dante will facepalm Perty and tell him he has no idea...

The reason other clubs are getting money is because they have a site to spend it on. We do not.

Because we haven't got a location.

You don’t know that, in fact you’ve got no idea.

For what exactly? I asked him where the location would be and he didn't answer, just went on a facepalm binge.

In fact, if you read my posts, I said we weren't getting money because we didn't have a location - Is that incorrect?

I thought in 2022 we were a bit slow & needed more leg speed coming out of defence, up forward & across the centre.

We then lost possibly the 3 quickest on our list Hunt, Bedford & Baker.

Our drafting was mainly KP talls who have good potential but I'm worried our lack of pace could be a real problem in 2023.

None of them are premiership players.

Just sayin.

What's the location then?

Not sure why you are connecting the two. Can't you walk and chew gum?

The point I'm making is - we won a flag with not as good a training setup as we have now, so while it's definitely necessary to get this all sorted, perhaps life isn't as all bad as some are making out?

And only a decision in five years, God knows how long before works would start.

Not necessarily the announcement but the completion of the project after the negotiations are completed.

Will be good to have done, and I'm sure old dee and the Deemocracy types will keep the board accountable, but if I had to choose between seeing a premiership in my lifetime or a training base I know which I'd have chosen.

Another season of watching ANB and Sparrow play 20+ games is it 

Hope so...

The government know they have to do something about Punt Road, and that will take years.   In the meantime they are not going to allow any major project within 100 metres until at least plannig is completed.

What's the go there stinga? What's in the works? They've only just in the last couple of years done some pretty big changes between Swan St and the Fwy.

I saw Pert at the Albert Park hotel having dinner, I wanted to go up and ask what the status… 

Yeah, don't do that, how about you just send an email hey?

That’s why I’m bemused by Pert saying it’s now purely cultural. The narrative is about outreach, but the minute we can make more money from this game at the G it will end.

Don't agree at all. Ask Peter Jackson about the significance about what he has helped to instigate and build up there.

1 hour ago, The heart beats true said:

This is a big part of my issue. If we do it for the community and it’s ‘important’, why don’t the club force the AFL to align it with something to make it more meaningful?

I am sorry, that is just a really bad name.

It isn't inspiring, its cringeworthy and sounds so bad off the tongue.

Surely someone in the AFL thought twice about this one?

Given the location I was in favour of "Heaps Good Round".

I haven't been down to Goschs but I'm intrigued by Lord Nev's observation as he drove down Punt Road this morning that ... "all the players were out, all the cones etc were setup and there looked to be an electronic scoreboard/screen setup - probably about 3m x 2m as a really rough guess."

Kev Martin's gone on holiday till next year ... is there anyone who can enlighten us about this strange phenomenon?

For that matter, any other news from the Paddock?

They were in the blue squad and red squad jumpers too, so potentially some kind of intraclub today maybe?

Do you think they will use it as immediate feedback/review kind of device?

No idea tbh! I literally saw it for about 3 seconds haha! Looked more like just an LED scoreboard at that quick glance.

Do you mean something on the Punt road wing because I can’t recall seeing anything there when I went last Friday?

Or do you mean the new and much larger open air pavilion on the city side, in which they’ve set up a temporary gym and more equipment than I’ve seen in previous years?

On the pavilion side. I only got a quick glance as I drove down Punt Rd, but all the players were out, all the cones etc were setup and there looked to be an electronic scoreboard/screen setup - probably about 3m x 2m as a really rough guess. I'm assuming it's something they just wheel out there but I've never seen it before.

@kev martin- I drove past training on the way to work this morning and noticed there looked to be some kind of screen/score board setup on the boundary, is that new as of today or something you've noticed when you've been at sessions? Not a big story, but never seen that before. Cheers!

Well he has history.

I'm sure it was reported he got involved in a Perth night club dust up just after the GF (separate to the one that the Dees and Dogs reportedly got into) 

Got a source for this kind of stuff? Only thing I remember being reported was that he was denied entry (along with a group of mates) to a club and then police came along and they all had a chat. No mention of a 'dust up'. Happy to see your info, but would probably think twice about making up stuff like this if it isn't factual.

Freos best looks Garbage, my tip for a huge tumble down the ladder this year. MUNDY is a HUGE loss for them🤯

Didn't finish in the top 10 of their BnF. Not that huge a loss.

revisionism is alive and well - and most of us are guilty of it.

Absolutely, but it's never more acute as it is when a player requests a trade...

Don't get me wrong, i appreciate all he did in our Premiership season.  Last season though he seemed to have very little impact....in fact he went backwards imo.

He's only just turned 21, I think we sometimes forget that given how quickly he burst onto the scene, and it seemed clear this year he was battling injury/soreness as the year went on.

As for being childish with the mum insults, it was said tongue in cheek...

Fair enough, but you've probably noticed many others are seemingly still carrying the intense hurt at Luke's Mum daring to thank the club on the internet and have said she's "fair game".

3 hours ago, NeveroddoreveN said:

i don't think he has the skills/craft to be an elite player wherever placed on the field.  Contributing will not be enough given his pay packet

If i actually posted any of what you quoted it would have been from 2021....2022 he was super disappointing...

 Pre-season this year to be fair, but you definitely held a different opinion of him before it became clear he would leave.

Then there is Jackson, who is also super important to our future success.

But no info breads conspiracy theories. Secrecy never works IMO. I am writing to the club this afternoon.  

Fair enough too mate.
