We're dees fans but cmon ....

So Petty won’t be playing footy for a long time by the sounds of it

I was behind the fence next to him a lot of the session and it seemed to me from conversations and interactions that he may have hamstring awareness or an issue there. He didn't do nearly as much running as Oliver and Salem and they both came up to him at one point and rubbed his hamstring mucking around saying how's it feeling etc. May only be a small issue but feel like there has to be something there because it didn't look like he was trying to rack up the kms or anything today?

Might have to !

Not sure what Daniel Turner’s done but did absolutely nothing today and limped back off to the rooms

Ollie Hollands did very well on a wing last year in his first year

JVR will stay in my view, but the idea that Freo aren’t gonna have a massive crack at him is ridiculous. Did Freo need Jackson last year when they already had Darcy? No, but they did it anyway and they’ll try the same with Roo

You’ve yet to highlight JVR all summer in any training reports Picket, is this because his name’s not Ben Brown or has he actually not been getting near it much in sims? Would be nice to hear he’s kicking goals and taking marks

The sheer fact that his brother is training with them is a big enough sign surely? Every club overlooked him in the draft and even rookie draft yet Freo are giving him a chance even though he’s probably not up to AFL standard? Where are Freo’s holes? Midfield is stacked, rucks are stacked and backline is strong. They would be drooling at the potential of a JVR/Amiss forward line, their forward line is their weakest point, there’s no partner for Amiss yet

Agree, must have had some week!

Of course Freo would already be speaking about it…

Will kick 50 this year pretty easily if he fixes his set shot. Will be better than Naughton

Let’s hope they opt for Pat Voss instead

Finn Callaghan would be one I’d want us to be talking to as well, we need to start playing his best mate Blake Howes and who knows, we might be a chance. Out of contract next year I think. Oh and throw the kitchen sink at Bailey Humphrey like we did on draft night, stuff the 4 year deal he’s just signed …

As if the Roos could care in hindsight that they traded Ben Brown, we're lucky he played three weeks of good footy in September 21' otherwise you'd have to say the trade's been a bust for us not them

Ben Brown’s onto his 10th knee operation whilst Tmac’s body has held up all summer and has played in every match sim but he’s the cooked one? Yeh ok! Not sure where your bias stems from or your inability to admit wrong but the last two years you’ve proclaimed Ben Brown has been training the house down each summer and it has amounted to absolutely nothing when it counts.

I missed the second half of the match sims it seems JVR got busier in the second?

Did alright getting a generational ruckman off our hands didn't they? Only took them 3 years

Surely he and club could've done the selfless thing, come to a financial agreement and retired. Who didn't see this coming? Won't play a game this year. Could've used his spot to select JVR's brother in the rookie draft but now he's training with Freo which could turn out a disaster for us, they know what they're doing ...

Alongside your mate Ben Brown

As a centre half back? damn thats impressive

Petty in match sim?

Is Tholstrup training or injured? Haven’t seen / heard much about him?

Bang on, Tom McDonald and Ben brown will both be wasted list spots all year, very ordinary list management. Why was Schace re signed also? He and Fullarton are the exact same player, tall forwards who can pinch hit in the ruck. Neither a pure ruckman. We desperately needed another pure ruck backup for Gawn and they went and got another tall forward? Bizzare. Where is our Brayden Preuss or ruckman of that calibre waiting in the wings when Gawn gets injured or rested at age 32? Is Verrall it? At age 19? Do not want to see JVR having to do extended minutes in the ruck but I feel like he will. How this wasn’t addressed in the trade period coupled with the loss of three inside midfielders and no replacements dumbfounds me a bit
