Spargo, pretty remarklable he's an AFL predominant forward who's kicked just 1 goal and 4 goal assists in his last 11 games. Average of just 3 score involvements. Its not like his tackle or pressure numbers are off the charts to compensate. His ceiling is just too low for that position but his floor is def higher than anything else we have, therein lies the problem really.

West Coast are rubbish sorry. They've just recorded the worst 6 game stretch clearance numbers in the modern era, twice as bad as any other team. Also twice as bad as being scored from stoppage as any other team. Our mids, yes. been struggling from stoppage all season, but if they cant beat the worsr team over the last 25 years in this 'space' you can forget the 'learnings'. We are nowhere near that bad and should bully them and have plenty of first use. Im not certain Mcqualter knows what he's doing with personnel and game plan at all. The only concern is Jake Waterman. Harley got his usual highlight reel hype at last years match, but it was Waterman's 13 marks (5 contested, 6 inside 50) who was unstoppable He's one of the few forwards that can beat May at his own game. We need Turner to be ready. Allen is no mug either and due to have a game.

And that coward was jailed. Was that a deterrent here? Do we keep locking up people until it stops? Surely not, there has to be level of degrees. Blood bayers was a strong term, I didnt mean it directly at anyone on the forum. The question is why do people want him jailed? For being a threat to society? (Dont think anyone is suggesting this). Do folks want to lock him up as a punishment (I do agree his fine was utterly pathetic, should have be an extra zero). Or is it as a deterrent? Ok, i get that argument but then we have to be ready to extend it out to 10,000s of assaults nationally. Singling him out is the opposite of fair justice according to me.

Serious question. Would you jail connor nash? (The victim im the Balta case didnt get a concussion and had a 3 cm stitch i believe as a point of comparison). Do the rules of the land stop once you cross the white land. Should Miers have reasonably expected that contact? What about off the ball incident. Genuinely asking how we think about the difference in crime and punishment. I dunno.

Yes seriously. I'm not condoning what he did. It was a dangerous and thug attack. As you say, there is no place for this. But if you jail every first time offender for a punch or an assault you'd be needing a lot more cells. The sentence is pretty consistent here.

How do you feel he was lucky to avoid jail? According to the nsw bureau of crime brief (2011), first time assault offenders on an assault occasioning actual bodily harm were jailed 6.9 percent of the time. He would have been un lucky to get jail. Maybe a suspended sentence may have been more appropriate being a public case (whatever that means) but i doubt even that would appease the blood bayers.

Exactly. Most of our goals, in the first half in particular, were the result of individual brilliance rather than great ball use. Long shots sailing through, great snaps or goals from the goal square. Importantly, as you said, it wasnt to an outnumber which gave us a chance. That was pleasing. 7 marks from 50+ inside 50s is bog ordinary. Almost every premier (since ever) has been in the top 4 of the league average, usually north of 12. Sometime you win the way we won on the weekend, amazing conversion, good team pressure and some individuals match winners. But as a system, forward entries were really only marginally better than the rest of the year. It was a small step in the right direction though, until we can get 10-12 marks a week inside 50 regularly, we wont be the real deal.

I like it. We still have a midfield that can bully the opposition, but we must get some (early) return on it and we're a chance. Would help if viney oliver langdon and a few others hit the scoreboard. They all get their chances but choke inside 50 time and time again. Expecting our front 6 to kick a winning score is huge ask. Push forward and snag a few

I know its been slim pickings but our named forward line has kicked 8 afl goals between them for the year.. thoughts and prayers for the Fremantle backline.

He mentions him at 5:40 as one of the central people that drove the philosophy to keep having a crack due to free agency and expansion teams eroding the value of the draft.

As bad as it sounds. IF AND ONLY IF HE WAS OK WITH IT, what would you trade him to the cats or a pies in 2026 if we were bottom 3 again. 2nd rounder?

Or moved back. Perty or May forward. So what everyone gets wrong abot KPF is its not goals per game but marks per game that matters. Find me a handful of players that average less that 4 -5 marks per games that were elite or those above that who were duds. If you can't meet this minimum by your 3 rd or 4th season you're not going to make it as a KPF.

H Im pretty sure Gawn to be in the 2s was a tylpo. Lol

Langdon Gawn Bowey Melksham 2. Spargo Salem So everyone hates the turnovers, skill errors and lack of forward cohesion and yet every week they get votes. Its bizarre. Its what Goody seems to be doing also. Im rewarding goal assists.
