Partiboi69 is a legend

I reckon Freo will regress next year. Their future first may well end up being a top 10 pick

Bad habits picked up from the mens team it would appear

Agreed. She needs to get into better condition though. She's carrying a little extra timber for a zippy forward

I suspect this whole affair will end up in an inconclusive he said, she said scenario. Nothing proven or disproven That being the case the Lions and North will have a huge call to make

It appears managing injuries is not an exact science. Plenty of judgment involved. I'm no expert but I can't remember a time when I didn't benefit from taking a rest. I don't think we should be relying on a 31 year ruck, who gets belted from pillar to post every game, to play through injury. We have a list for a reason. We should start using it better

Paxy will be hard to replace when the time comes. She's having another great season. Top 5 B&F i reckon

Difference being the naughton rumour was started in jest whereas Kane Cornes was being malicious. Not right for him to start a groundless rumour like than given his media profile and port affiliation. Trying to unsettle a player like this is BS. Fair play to the port GM for shooting it down.

Adelaide conducted a review of the infamous preseason camp. The conclusion was nothing to see here. No wonder these families have reservations

This thread is quiet Any word yet about the Dees chasing Naughton?

That's a big question I'd like to know if God exists

Obviously intends to mishave otherwise why would he be worried about behavioural clauses? Clubs will have to decide if he's worth the hassle. Perhaps a club with a strong culture can keep him on the straight and narrow. I doubt St Kilda is that kind of club. Buyer beware

Naughton and JVR hitting packs and scattering oppo defenders would be a joy to behold I'd be tempted to offer the 2 first rounders we receive from Freo and our own first rounder next year it that's what it takes Make it happen MFC

Let the fun and games begin

Assuming we are lucky with injuries and can tweak the game plan then we're as good a chance as any Swans will be traumatised, Pies approach will be countered, I can't where the Lions improvement will come from (although they do get the best player in the draft) and I have doubts about Freo. The doggies have defensive frailties, Richmond might surprise given the players they are trading in so they could improve I reckon it'll either be us or Geelong.

Geelong the best team in it this year. No question. They had plenty of luck along the way but so did we last year. I didn't think Dads Army could do it, thought their soft fixture would disadvantage them come September but their pressure game yesterday was off the scales. Swans were hopeless but I don't think any team could have lived with them. And Scott is a great coach as well as being very dislikeable

Lions coughed one up today against Richmond Top spot there for the taking

A KPF will make a difference for us. Definitely But I think getting properly fit and rediscovering or pressure and intensity will make a bigger difference

Bulldogs didn't recover after we belted them. The same will happen the Swans I reckon

What a damp squib Swans won't be a factor next year. Not after this shellacking. I'm not convinced by the pies or Lions It's us v the cats in 2023. I'm looking forward to it already

How funny would it be if the cats choked from here. I’m willing it to happen.

A flicker of hope. If they can snag another before half time it’ll give them some belief

Swans played their granny against us

Stengel has been an inspired recruit

For Christ sake swans. Pull your collective finger out. This is embarrassing
