dumb footy

harmes has gone from a regularly reliable kick to target to bombing it every time the zone defense is a MESS currently

zone defense atrocious already and as for may of course giving away the free on the 50...

it's felt like that for a loooooooooong time

target is $1m by christmas, yes?

weren't scores level at the end of q3 in round 1, 2019, and then they ran all over the top of us in the last with their bevy of young talent time? i want to see harmes go straight to boak - he's been back to being their best mid for the last two seasons after being deployed as a half forward for a couple of years previous how do we stop charlie? don't let him get the ball - if we win the contested footy, get it forward, kick goals with our mountain of f50 entries, it'll go a loooooooooong way to us winning

Sparrow has essentially been playing as a mid at vfl level when fit and in the scratch matches this year, yeah? I’d expect Harmes or Brayshaw to roll back as the 7th defender and Sparrow to rotate forward and midfield

Pear fans are real football nuffies Honestly as a club they’re not that removed from us; past success v local league success, scarred by horrific grand final wallopings, consistently disappoint supporters

arguably bog in two wins for them

ric charlesworth has had a lot to do with the modern style of aussie rules

lycett physically monstered gawn in round 1, 2019, so happy to not have to have him physically maul our skipper ladhams is a bit like o mc and archie smith - a competitor

only a couple of 50 / 50 games this week, unfortunately i think we're one of them... dogs ....ugh......them? cartlank bears cows? aints meth coke gc17? the filth i really want to tip us but i just don't have the confidence to do so

41 here, but i have - since 88 - dreamed about us winning a premiership by 100 points...since 2007 i'd prefer 120.....

Good listen

it seems that while the players themselves are trying not to get completely sucked into the contest, the oppo are away of that and are pushing our mids around the contest by 'sweating' on them defensively and corralling them to the contest for mine this was a far bigger issue than oliver, trac, or viney being held around the contest - the amount of manhandling gawn cops on a week in week out basis is extraordinary

bit wet in perth can freo go the whole game without kicking a goal?

we....won?

send him to boak for mine aints set steele for trav and it worked a treat

Salem underperforming? Not sure I can agree with that

this was an open secret the salary cap in the 80s was a farce - the tiggas and the filth had chequebook warfare, and hawks, blues, and the peptides paid whatever they wanted to whoever they wanted blues cheated the 'cap' for over 30 years if you include the judd visy deal

he has two years to go on his current contact on - if you believe the scum's guesstimates - some pretty hefty coin no club would in their right mind offer more than a third rounder for him can't kick, won't chase

todd marshall out for minimum of 6 weeks with a busted hand; jack watts' comeback begins this thursday?

you would think they'd want some fresh legs coming in off a small break OUT: jetta, bennell, hannan IN: rivers, tomlinson, t mac my only issue with the above is that it makes up way too top heavy against a pretty quick, slick, port adelaide outfit i'd also be all for dropping brayshaw fwiw, but it seems they like him rotating in through the midfield

6: viney 5: gawn 4: oliver 3: melksham 2: salem 1: petracca

sad to see him fall off even further than he has his disposal and his defensive accountability is atrocious and has been since his second season no club should offer more than a third round pick for him; someone might offer us a second rounder and we'd be crazy not to take it given his exposed form for the last season and a half
