Bowser was pretty good too at one stage during the match. 176cm vs 2 metre Peter:

He is becoming a more rounded player, week by week, and the stats prove that "conclusively". If that isn't improvement, I don't know what is. And I am sure Longmuir is very happy with the role he is playing in that forward line where the other key forwards (i.e. Treacy, Jackson, Banfield, etc.). are sharing it around

Not sure what stats you are looking at. He is currently on track for more kicks, kicking efficiency, disposals inside 50, metres gained, ground ball gets, inside 50 marks, more shots on goal, goal assists, tackles, pressure acts, spoils, one percenters on last year's stats. And again, 7 games to go plus finals. Sheesh

Hasn't improved? He has missed 1 game this season! Freo are 3rd on the ladder. He is integral to that team. And there are 7 games to go. Currently tracking improvement on lots of stats from last year: https://www.wheeloratings.com/afl_player_profile.html?ID=140bfb2

In your previous comment, you inferred Amiss hadn't improved. And I brought up Petty as a side note to the relevance of this thread. My apologies

Didn't Amiss kick 4 goals against us? 3rd year player. Pretty sure he'll keep improving. P.S. Petty had 1 kick that day against Freo

At least give either of them a chance over a completely out-of-form, injury prone coach's Pet-ty!

Yes, in the immortal words of the 12th man, we need it to "rain and to rain hard"

100% correct. 0% logic in this stupid selection

They're recruiting in 2013 was excellent (Yeo, Sheed, McGovern, Barrass) but yes, from 2014 to 2021 disastrous. And contrary to what Caro says, Simpson has actually given the "kids" recruited in those years heaps of opportunities/games (see list below) but they're not quite good enough for the AFL. And the person most responsible for that recruiting was Rohan O'Brien, who also managed their list in the last few years. It will take years to repair the damage O'Brien caused, as it did with us and the carnage Barry Prendergast left behind 15 years ago. CURRENT: Hough 46; L. Edwards 34; H. Edwards 33; Chesser 30; Maric 23; Bazzo 20; Jamieson 17 PAST: O'Neill 39; Foley 32; West 28; Brander 22; Clark 21; Ainsworth 14; Cameron 12

You are never going to get consistency with the multitude of opinions and interpretations out there on the ground now. They have all the power

I wonder how Webster's family reacted to the verdict

Didn't just get Reid. Got McGovern a beauty in the centre of the ground half way through the last quarter. Gov still in hospital from that one: https://www.afl.com.au/news/1168188/eagle-grounded-with-broken-rib-punctured-lung

More like familiar feeling of "hello darkness my friend"

No malice? What about careless conduct or duty of care?! Name another player in the AFL that leads with his knee like he does. He has already racked up 4 victims that I can think of (I am sure there are moore, pardon the pun): Howe - concussed; Trac - almost killed; Witts - broken back; Noble - concussed

What are the "learnings" for poor Kynan. Is it just fugazi?

Wishful thinking. On current form, Mitch White is a better option. If only he had a contract....

Jimmy. Minus the premiership but plus Brownlow and 87 night premiership (my favourite premiership, thanks Bret)

Yep. 2nd loudest roar I have ever heard in Southern Stand: https://afltables.com/afl/stats/games/1992/051119920425.html 1st loudest when Clarko kicked goal after siren on debut against us: https://afltables.com/afl/stats/games/1987/111219870704.html

No doubt the real victim Darcy Moore (like that other thug Maynard) will get heaps of sympathetic publicity now

Agree. IN: Rod Grinter, Carl Ditterich, Andy Goodwin

I didn't. Was just saying that I thought those guys (Bedford, Hunt and Harmes) were better than the guys we traded in (Billings, Hunter and McAdam). imfao, whatever that moronic acronym means

Unfortunately Taylor and Lamb lost the midas touch after the premiership
