Although we lost, this was one of the most electric finals I can remember us playing. When Wrecker Whelan laid that bump (when you could do it) on Hird which lead to Johnstone's running goal at the city end the adrenaline cranked up to 11.

Like Langford, he offers a point of difference but in his case with his size and physicality. If we miss on Lalor then I'd be keen, can control the 50 a lot like Lalor and hits the scoreboard.

Relief for another 12 months.

The perfect bookend considering it started with a win over us.

It’s fascinating how the media conveniently sidesteps the clear evidence of strong on-field leadership at the club. Particularly when it comes to Jack Viney and Max Gawn. While the off-field situation might raise some eyebrows, our on-field leadership for the most part is rock solid.

Last year knocked me on my butt. For the first time in probably ever, I haven't paid attention at all to the draft, free agency, training camp. Will try to catch up on a lot of those things but I can't say I'm psyched at this stage. I do believe that will change quickly though once it starts.

Texans Cowboys Vikings

Hell no. But we aren't the only ones in the gun.

Nearly finished watching it. So good I want to watch it again.

I don't know about fire sales but my office just had the most abysmal fire drill. We failed.

It's all over now and will never happen again.

There you go people, it's not just us.

Geoff Walsh has good experience in this area.

Can you smack talk media personalities on the banner or is that not allowed?

Freo is primary school. Hopefully one day the bell will ring and it will be home time.

Won't last forever, it never does. We do need to be better at controlling the narrative though.

Get this guy a full pre season. Unless he wants to be traded home or has concerns about building his brand I don't intend to talk about Luker Kentfield until then.

Has that stinking club ever played a game in The Apple Isle?

I don't pay attention to the fixture releases. Whatever it will be will be and then I'll complain about it when the games come around.

Extremely interesting and we know how close he still is to a lot of these guys..

"We need to hear from the player, everything else is elevator music" 3 more days of elevator music. "Player is being a brat"

Definitely. And I can see Rosas pushing up to a wing with that speed and outside game, could add a new dimension.

Jon Ralph...

Look I just want to give you the biggest applause/standing O/hug for having the guts to make this thread.

No idea why they would be shipping him out so soon. If available I'd definitely be having a look, he's your classic small forward with blistering speed on the outside and very good defensive pressure. Different to Nibbler of course but could go a way to filling that particular void.
