whatwhat say what

gw$ have completely stopped

trust in the footy dept

i can only presume milkshake is being brought in as a) he needs to play a negating role on aliir's intercepting ability and 2) he can actually hit a target going i50 still reckon we're undersized forward, but the coaching dept knows significantly more than me

you mean our premiership winning forward coach...

He literally debuted against the Dees in R1, 2021 Played in our most recent loss to Freo at the G too

easy to argue, given the dilution of talent, that 14 teams is too many

interesting stats from Goodwin's presser - we're 5th on the ladder for scores from f50 entries over the last three weeks, so things are actually working not TOO bad personally i don't want gus moved into the midfield - his best footy is played as a half-back interceptor

is that so? all the talk is that he's definitely out the door, which seems unfathomable to me after the sort of season he's been having

they're playing like a completely different side of late compared to when we defeated them earlier in the year finlayson and dixon is really working as an undersized ruck combo for them

tiges got lynch after their first premiership - part of what helped then win two of the next three imo the equivalent for us would be picking up, say, charlie curnow at the end of next year as a high-priced free agent they traded out baker and higgins to the aints for not huge return in consecutive years, and lost ellis via free agency to gc17; they're not exactly 'key' players - the equivalent of us losing spargo, chandler, and perhaps a neal-bullen? by comparison it looks like we are up against it to retain jackson, a key part of our plans for the next decade i remain confident that gus brayshaw is going nowhere

buddy >>> tex both will end up being at their current clubs in 2023

sonja hood had gloves off "what sort of a question is that?"

man that was a spicy press conference

gil goes for the aints, has a soft spot for the crom, and doesn't do the fixturing may has been 'off' since he got concussed against freo and then suspended internally i trust with the return of regular playing he'll get back to regular form

spoke to my thource who is pretty close to the crom - says any and all rumours re tex are being promulgated by kornes ignore it all i say

i can't understand the logic of switching gus out of the position that he's having the best year of his career in to go back into the middle seems like a case of robbing peter to pay paul to me

cos they were wayne jackson's franchise baby

no, our salary cap breaches were lyon, stynes, viney, and schwarz from memory - 95-98 and freo being 'gifted' an extra early pick beggars belief - one of wayne jackson's gifts for his beloved franchise

lobb wanting to leave and freo being okay with him doing so is very odd he's in career best form in a top 4 side understand they want dogga, but he's more about the future than 'now'? their window IS now as much as it is / could be the future

pick 2 and 18 for white and 22 they traded pick 2 (brad ottens) for chris bond and pick 21 we used pick 22 to pick troy longmuir who - being a wa boy - inevitably requested a trade 'home' to freo several years later i find it BIZARRE how much wa players some to be desperate to play in their home town

rozee what a monster goal

fixed

fwiw i think it's disingenuous to look at players solely by their goals record i don't know if it's available, but is there record keeping for avg. per game of being the targets for i50 kicks? i still the best structure is two talls, a medium tall, three smalls - basically what we played for the majority of last year and where we are clearly currently missing plugger mac as the lead-up player and second tall forward i would wager fritta - who i'd say is our medium tall - would actually be our #1 target i50, but that's just guessing

darcy cameron is so much better as a ruck / forward than a forward / ruck

who'da thought a full-back would play his best footy in the defensive area
