Like Kent as he has great potential if he can stay on the field. But the normal impact in his last game that again busted his shoulder makes me think he has a weakness there that can't be fixed with surgery. Good luck to him he got a three year deal and based on his injury history thats great for him. Hopefully he can play will his 30s from here on.

The Dordogne is a cool place, visited it a few times when holiday. Welcome to demonland.

Also in Perth (Not sure that counts as ex-pat) Watched most of the games this year on the iPad (Telstra) as we don't have foxtel, i'm also too lazy to go to the Western Dee's tv functions, though I should.

I wonder if it will affect his leg speed, not that he was tat fast to start with. I remember Nathan Brown was never the same after his break. Though I'm not sure how the two compare in severity? It will severely dent their chances this year as they transition from their older players to the next group. Scully will be interesting as I think he was taken on as a longer project and not expected to play a lot this year.

When in control you always look faster. When you notice real speed are individuals breaking out of packs and accelerating away. Though more places dont run with it but handpass/kick to advantage to get the break.

I remember a debate many years ago. What is more important, the money that we pay as a membership or the marketing list a members to sponsors. I think if you have a MCC membership you should get a MFC membership at no extra cost, but no benefits. The list of x thousand more members is far more valuable than the current payment amount. We don't rely on membership directly to run the club if you look at our overall turnover. But more members allows us to get better sponsorship deals etc which creates higher revenue. It will also push us up the membership tally and get us more exposure and bigger games.

Daryl Hannah, what! The film I remember her is was mermaid. I'm sure she's been in others.

Positive report

Have they said where the free kick would be taken from? It could be the goal square.

The Eagles CEO likes the idea. https://thewest.com.au/sport/west-coast-eagles/best-of-three-afl-grand-final-series-worth-looking-at-says-west-coast-eagles-football-manager-craig-vozzo-ng-b881024500z It appears to have been first raised by Pyke after the Crows loss. Maybe if they played better on the day he wouldn't have had a whinge.

Only less physical sports have "play offs" as the player can recover. Football codes, like ours, rugby and grid iron you can't back up a GF intensity over the multiple weeks and have a good quality game to watch. Beside if you know your going to loose the first one, imagine the losing side going in preservation mode and benching their best players for the following week as a spectacle.

It think it was just the timing of ANZAC eve and the decision of Pies to no longer help us out. The flip is 2020 both will be home games. Plus we do play them as a home later in the year.

VIP Sylvia A big kid at heart. Very sad for it to end so early for him and his family.

We won the first one, thats all that matters, no one will remember who wins the rest. Cause we'll be the quiz night questions answer "winner "Melbourne" I think it was important last year to build confidence. It also helped us in practise some precise kicking and the run to break zones towards the forward line. The format is not that taxing on the players compared to a traditional preseason game. The downside is you can't use them to refine your game style is the real thing.

As a DFA I think he worth picking up. Not sure why Freo no longer wanted him, considering who they gave 1 yr contracts too. Handy depth player but could surprise us in a settled role.

Gee, why did he wear our hat.

Play the dockers in Perth (instead of WC) I think that will be a given given Hogan trade. They are a waste of time at the G in terms of crowd. Like Rd Pies or geelong - become a regualr QB/ANZAC know our block busters. A few more Friday night games against, Don's, Carlton (For fun), or anyone with a big following.

with good consistent delivery into the forward line we'll kick enough goals. We have Tmac and Weed to break packs and compete when required.

Not sure if it’s been said but Freo haven’t shown up at Marvel stadium yet! Bunch of tools.

That would be grand to be honest.

The basically sums it up. From the AFL website wrap for today "That's why the Dockers have been circling him for so long. And that's why it would be disastrous if they let him go when he's finally gettable just because they want a 'win' rather than a 'win-win'. "

On ch10 news, They have no idea.edit: Perth staion

Given the circumstances that may happen. how did the Hawks swing it?

It is being floated and he would give us great outside run, which we currently miss. The question is has his speed and endurance been affected by his broken ankle? Yes he has a lot of history at the club. But we are a totally different club from the one he left. I imagine any discussion would be with the leadership group on whether they agree if the FD decides he is key to get it maybe happen.

I wonder if we have said to GC, "What can we arrange for May without the Hogan deal". They might be working on a package as a backup, who knows, It depends on what May has told GC. Might be a few players we feel we can swap and still improve our list. Not that I think too many our player want to go North.
