Jeremy

How can you say that with the way he played on Curnow in the last quarter of the semi final? He was extraordinary, almost carried us to a win

Kayo not working is it?

Hasn’t had an amazing day by any stretch but it’s good signs from JVR you can tell he’s taken a step

Interesting that Kynan Brown is getting a gig with the main squad and Tholstrup isn’t

Weren't they only offering their pick 13 or 14 though? That's no where near enough for him, would rather take the punt on him getting healthy again, that pick would've been pushed out to 20. If they had of offered something better than that you'd think about it but pretty sure they lowballed us

Well it changes it if you're saying 21 and under. Amiss (20) , Ugle Hagan and Logan Mcdonald (21) you'd have to say are better forwards than JVR at this point and the King brothers are still young. Love JVR though, hoping he will improve this season

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
