Yeah, no....wait.

Like the Diacos boys... I guess he had to compete with his older brothers when growing up, makes a big difference.

Loved his development so far, he is feeling he deserves to be there. Building that confidence in him is evident in the team reaction when he gets a goal. Maybe they realised that's where they went wrong with Weid? What I would like to see is his last qtr success in either the first or second. His multiples have not come until after the game has opened up in the last qtr. Maybe the club will look at some structural tweaks over the next few weeks to allow that earlier. He's tracking int he right direction.

What I saw of the game he looked good. But other times as you have mentioned he's not. Good luck to him as he's getting paid a bit to play the game we love.

I think it will happen, not sure on this agreement. Simply based on the restrictive nature of current players are enforcing for trade to one a specific club, or players wanting to leave well before the end of their contract. They can't have it both ways. Given the limited number of places you can get traded too, it's not as bad as in the US.

The McCartins are big loss for them in terms of their structure. It will take time to adjust. Yep...

Still don’t think Freo is playing as well as they could. Even last week they only just got over the Suns. The only wildcard is it’s in Perth, but the doggies have played there a lot so they know the ground and the weather will suit them. They have a better defense v fwd over the Freo matchups. Fingers cross the doggies can get a good game going.

Money talks. I thought the ideal was to grow the game by moving it around. Love it in WA. But gee maybe in 4 yrs!

What's worse, is I have Oliver as my fantasy captain :(

their pressure and structure is to focused for us... We havent looked like we have had the right mindset and effort all day. To top it off it's one of those days where all the bounces and drops seem to fall their way. Though when you put more effort it, that tends to happen. I blame listening to the end of the podcast from last week this morning and how we had their measure... jinxed it :(

Tigers just have the legs anymore (maybe they'll prove me wrong.)

I tipped freo, but can the suns do it!!

Blinded their logic as their team had developed differently since the draft year. As I pointed out before the trade will was the wrong time and will unsettle their team.

Walking away after the game in Perth yesterday I think I need to comment on the massive increase of supporters in demons gear. Gone seems the days of a small group watching the Dee's play. I remember the 2006 semi final where about 1/2 a bay of supporters were present. Even saw a couple of lids wearing demon gear while their parents were in eagles gear. Yes we were still greatly outnumbered but has the final series of 2021 grown our base or simply more members are willing to come out and watch us play now that we aren't [censored].

Better 2nd half of qtr. from the view from the game, it’s been a game of almost, often just out of touch. Kelly and eagles around packs are doing well. Their plan seems to be slow us down around packs to stop our quick breaks.

How bad is the bummers goal kicking, right in front too.

That I thought at the end of their 2022 season

there is a lot of that nowadays... I reckon we need more umpires on the field to catch such situations...4 isn't enough. I reckon we go for 36 umpires they all just follow 1 player each, personalised umpiring.

What happens in the game thread stays on the game thread. It's good to be passionate, but sometimes it causes us we see things through a certain lense that' isn't what is happening and react. We all do it. As long as people dont get bagged over it, it's okay.

He may be subconsciously trying too hard in the role of captain, hence affecting his own game.

father son picks...

And all the eagles errors are back...

8 points... The big question is are the dockers mentally broken..or will they settle... If they loose it will say a lot about their season chances.

Lost another player but their on top..

Will the eagles have a team next week?
