Clayton Oliver Contract negotiations
No player should receive 10 years. It’s madness. He's durable now but he goes in hard, no guarantee he won't get a serious injury or become injury prone in a few years time. I would offer 3 years on $1m per year. He’s worth that level of salary. Contracts are just pieces of paper. They don’t compel people to give their all or put their heart and soul into their job. Clayton wants to play for a team that matches his ambition and desire for success. The best and only retention strategy is to win games of footy and play finals. This club needs to show him that we offer the best environment for him to realise his ambitions. If that happens, the contract will take care of itself (and we won;t need to pay over the odds either). We've made a positive start to the season but it must continue otherwise no guarantee he'll hang around imv.

AFLW: Rd 09 vs Brisbane
First appearance was last year i believe. Knocked over GWS in the semi final on their patch. Kicked 3 late goals to snatch it. Check out Lily Mithen's last minute goal. the farthest she's ever kicked it in her life i reckon. Balls of steel. unfortunately season canned a few days later due to covid so never got to play the prelim.

POSTGAME: Rd 02 vs St. Kilda
Strange. McKay kicked 4 on him the other night

Max Gawn
Given the situation with his knee i wouldn't let BB anywhere near a rucking contest.

Serong/Pickett trade
Pickett will be a gun and fills a massive need for us. Serong is a fine young player and will form part of a formidable Freo midfield unit for years to come. Both parties will be perfectly satisfied with this trade i reckon. I guess we should acknowledge and thank North for facilitating the initial pick swap. They’ve netted Tom Powell this year but too early to tell if he’ll make it.

CHANGES: Rd 03 vs GWS
I fancied us against Freo and against St Kilda (a very over-rated side imv). GWS in Canberra worried me but after seeing their woeful effort against Freo I reckon the only way we lose is if we beat ourselves. It’s another step in our development. Can we front up, switched on ready to perform from the get-go against an opponent that is very beatable. As Dubdee said its time to lose the underdogs mentality and embrace the mantle of favourites. If form lines are reliable (I know we’re only 2 games in) we should dominate and win comfortably. As a Dees supporter, just writing that, I can feel the MFCSS rising…we’re going to stuff it up, we always do…. this team is soft…rah rah To hell with the MFCSS. The Dees to kick straight and win by 35 points.

Please, Mr Choco: Time to unleash your Kicking Skill Magic
The scoreline in the currently reads 8-16 Freo 2-11 GWS Some of the set-shot attempts are truly pathetic.

NON MFC: Rd 02 2021
Andrew Brayshaw BOG. Excellent young player.

NON MFC: Rd 02 2021
Was just going to say the same thing. They will get a roasting during the week and turn up to our game with a point to prove.

NON MFC: Rd 02 2021
Giants looking very ordinary. The heat will come on Cameron if they continue to play like this
-
NON MFC: Rd 02 2021
North’s list management recently has been dubious to say the least. They let BB go so you would think a replacement was the go and quality tall forward don’t come around too often in the draft Logan McDonald was cutting his teeth in the WAFL last year against grown men. You can tell. He has slotted 7 majors from 2 games. Will Phillips may turn out to be a very good player in a few years like you say. Logan McDonald is ready made. Not trying to be a hindsight Harry here but North should have picked McDonald.
-
NON MFC: Rd 02 2021
And they had the good sense to select Logan McDonald at pick 4 in the draft. North, the fools, passed on him.

POSTGAME: Rd 02 vs St. Kilda
super player but i think Dusty has him covered

AFLW: Finals Format
We're the form team and have nothing to fear from Freo. Daisy won’t play but Gay, Parry and Bannon to step up. Kate Hore, Eden Zanker and Lauren Pearce will be pivotal. Our perfect home record to remain intact. Dees by 15.

What they’re saying at Linton Street
These are relatively sedate comments. I expected much more vitriol from the feral saints supporters.

NON MFC: Rd 02 2021
I reckon Essendon might. They look primed for a bad season.

POSTGAME: Rd 02 vs St. Kilda
Other than West coast supporters they are the worst in the league.

AFLW: Rd 09 vs Brisbane
She's as brave as they come and tackles like a tiger but she needs to know her limitations. Don;t get too cute. Take the sensible first option and give the ball to someone who can use it better.

POSTGAME: Rd 02 vs St. Kilda
I'm planning to head over for that game as well. Do you know what the go is with getting tickets?
