And 3 cheers for Peter Bell as well. He's had a very positive influence on our recruitment and list management over the past few years.

Freo have stuffed it up big time and won't even have the solace of good draft picks. Or maybe we could offer to give the picks back to them in exchange for Caleb Serong. Young Vic lad perhaps looking to come home? He'd look great in the red and blue.

Peter [censored] is the man to blame for this debacle. Stuffed up a promising list build.

Freo comprehensively beaten. They're miles off. After the Suns let us down last week the death ride is back on track

Doggies rubbish goal kicking coming back to bite them

JUH was man handled very easily there.

What are Freeo fans booing about. Clear HTB

You’re a true martyr to the cause

I’d be very surprised if the hawks beat Adelaide. Crows will win by 40+ I reckon. And they will play finals this year.

I can’t conceive of any reason why I’d prefer freo to win a game this year other than if it ensures we get a better finals position. The only time I barracked for the eagles in my life was round 3 this year. And I really dislike the eagles.

This is a very good article actually. Hits the nail on the head. He says what gets the greatest reaction. The pity is his analysis is actually quite good. I like buckleys analysis as well but he doesn’t go for the unnecessary swipes. Cornes should take a leaf out of his book.

I LOVE THIS THREAD.

He looked good though. Easily his best game for them.

Long way to go in the season yet. Wouldn;t surprise me if JJ gets a good run of games yet to prove his worth. And i reckon there are others on the list who should make way before him. For e.g. if its a choice between Sparrow and JJ i'd plump for JJ. Just my opinion and not wanting to see Sparrow leave either but if thats the choice then its JJ for me.

TMac very lucky.

Come on Kozzy. This thread needs to be put to bed. Sign the deal!

He said what he has to say. He can hardly say he's not confident he'll re-sign.

Speaking of positives, our set shot conversion has been very good this year. I've heard mentioned it's the best in the league so far this season.

The team has produced consistent effort across 21 and 22. Granted we ran out of puff in the latter parts of games in 22 due to fatigue, injury etc. but not due to effort. We've been up and down this year intensity wise which has surprised me. Some trust has been lost from my perspective. Ultimately, it's about finishing top 4, top 2 ideally, and be in form and injury free (relatively speaking) come September. This is still totally achievable so no need to hit the panic button. But please, no more mulligans. 2 of those is enough. Approach every game with the right attitude and we'll be fine.

I don't mind Cornes and his forthright opinions. His obvious Port bias does grate though. Re JHF, i think he has been poorly advised. His people should have counselled him against moving after 1 year. Terrible look and won't endear you to the AFL public. That said fans shouldn't boo a youngster. More senior players, that should know better, maybe, but not a kid.

His defensive efforts were poor on the weekend as pointed out by the commentary team. Needs to work on this for sure. I thought his rucking and around the groundwork was ok. Needs to build his tank more. We’d be in real strife if he wasn’t around to cover for Maxy.

South Australia is the capital city of pork barrelling. The amount of money the state gets for submarine building and maintenance is obscene

I reckon I'll head over next year.

Uninspiring game between saints and pies
