Adelaide count is quite pronounced but probably just an anomaly given just 2 games in. Other than than looks like a typical bell curve. Probably runs counter to a lot of people's biases e.g Geelong get preferential treatment from the umps.

It's all between the ears for us this week Turn up, switched on, ready to battle and we win If our attitude is wrong it will be unforgivable

Has any player regressed more over the last couple of seasons than Josh Kelly? A shadow of his former self. Coniglio had a crack early but Kelly looked totally disinterested and has done for a while. I was a big fan of his and was hoping we might make a play for him but i'm starting to change my mind. Agree with you about this being a danger game. This is a final stand for them. Go 0-3 and its a long road to finals. I reckon they'll have a dip for a quarter or so but if we withstand the early storm we will win comfortably.

I think Jackson in the relief ruck role has been very effective and allowed Max to head back and take defensive marks. I'd keep him in. What about Weid for Fritsch? He has played well in terms of defensive efforts and taking grabs but his goal kicking is off. Weid is a more reliable kick for goal but defensive pressure not his strong suit but i think we can mange with charlie and kozzie applying the front half pressure. Great problems to have.

only pulling your leg OD. How you surviving up there in covid country? If you're not careful Anna won't let you back across the border.

Didn't peg you as a hindsight Harry OD ?

Sounds like every DL game day thread ever

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.

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.

Strange. McKay kicked 4 on him the other night

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

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.

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.

Fourth-placed Melbourne will take on fifth-placed Fremantle in a home Qualifying Final B at Casey Fields on Saturday, April 3 at 1:05pm AEDT

Same could be said for parliament house

Looking forward to heading to Casey on Saturday although i would prefer a later starting time. I'm confident of the win Fourth-placed Melbourne will take on fifth-placed Fremantle in a home Qualifying Final B at Casey Fields on Saturday, April 3 at 1:05pm AEDT.

The scoreline in the currently reads 8-16 Freo 2-11 GWS Some of the set-shot attempts are truly pathetic.

Andrew Brayshaw BOG. Excellent young player.

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.

Giants looking very ordinary. The heat will come on Cameron if they continue to play like this

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.

And they had the good sense to select Logan McDonald at pick 4 in the draft. North, the fools, passed on him.

super player but i think Dusty has him covered

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.

These are relatively sedate comments. I expected much more vitriol from the feral saints supporters.
