  1. Maybe he met Ross Lyon on his tour and thinks, well gee, its a lot of money but... I think basically Freo can't afford him without losing Neale.
  2. Did Peter Bell critics the dockers for resigning him late in the season while a ABC radio presenter? He started on Saturday and I think his first thought was get rid of that dead weight. They should just pay him out for the stupid contract for next year and get rid of him. They are just hoping to move him on with minimal fuss. The guy can't get through 2 games of footy within 6 months. Not to mention his other issues.
  3. But we can choose to match the RFA package if we wish. Assuming Neale leaves and it sounds like he wants to, then picks 4/5 is what Hogan is worth this year. If not we hold him and see what they come up with.

    Barlow himself see himself at a club like Carlton to take pressure of their major ball winners as they develop.
  5. Just joined as I didn't realise there was a live feed, but seems I have joined for the music and ads.
  6. Our forward works with or without Jesse. Successful forward lines are built on getting the footy down there consistently to create opportunities to score, therefore the mid and backs really decide the game. We have goal kicking mids to support our forwards and two very good existing forwards which will mark or bring it to grounds, and both a have lots of years left so there is no desperate need for Jesse. However, having Jesse roaming the ground would be great for us. But in the end the club holds all the cards they can decide if they want to trade and on what terms for this trade period. Many times clubs haven't traded a player who wanted out and he went onto a great career with that club. How a player feels know doesn't always mean they will be the same in 12 months. Even if we don't get a good deal he is only restricted next year and we can match and then trade him to Freo. I guess its now watch this space.
  7. Was a success as a mature age recruit to Roos then us. Stepped up to the best of his ability when called. Should retire satisfied based on his talent.

    Fringe player who killed any momentum to cement his spot with a stupid punch. Likely to be picked up as a free agent.
  9. Every year Freo are reported to make a big pitch for a key forward. Same as every year SA teams made a pitch for Pavlich to return to SA, he never did. Hogan aerobic ability is huge for a key player, he does not need to play close to goal, true modern KP fwd.

    I posted after the round 22 that we slipped a lot in that game too. Aren't most boots universal, I was thinking maybe the grass is still getting deep roots??? At times it did cause turnovers that resulted in goals I noticed Pie's players also slipped in their final there.
  11. Sadly I have switched it off know.
  12. In Kyoto mobile ready to enjoy the big game, got my demon gear on.
  13. Ha ha Rance is know tackling his own players...
  14. Cox is a confidence player, stop him early and he will have minimal impact and big part of that is pressure in the mid, where we currently excel.
  15. Say that is game
  16. The pies are playing above themselves tonight, hard to do that 2 weeks in a row as it takes a lot out of the team mentally and physically. We have been consistent for the last 4 games.
  17. Yeah I hate it, no games just before finals..gives advantage to the lower teams to refresh for the next set of games.
  18. Like us the pies have improved their gameplay over the season, like us they are peaking at the right time. Almost a parallel development. We can't match and surpass them.
  19. But can the pies sustain or hold this lead? History says no and tigers are good in the seance half. Should be interesting.
  20. Great article on his journey and his approach. I find it interesting the importance of Todd Viney in developing his skills in the role. I see Viney having a strong influence on our list management.
  21. I’m spewing as I live in Perth, go to every seed game in n Perth, but in Japan running a school tour. I would share my seats but the codes are back in Perth. Does anyone know an online service to watch the game from Japan. The afl app does not work here.

    We have settled and got control back... a side maturing.
