whatwhat say what

echoing what every supporter has said; worse thing it's coming from a former player and father of a current one himself! we really do manage to shoot ourselves in the foot as a club at the earliest opportunity

has there been an official announcement re cracking 50k? outstanding result if so given the doldrums we have been in since 07-14, any membership growth over that time was remarkable, and if we can every get it together on field like we have off-field then we'll be in a far, far better place as a football club

great book (well, at least the richard flanagan one)

both papley and langdon are probably worth more than second rounders but not a first rounder - makes em hard to 'price' and probably difficult to get both in the one off-season

if papley was available, what's he worth? he's basically a first rotation midfielder at sydney at this point - has speed and nous around goal too i imagine they'd want a future first round pick but there's no way known i'd want to give up that much for him, yet he's probably worth more than a second rounder he would be a terrific addition to our mid / forward rotation, much as langdon would perfectly suit our half back run and spread from the contest

This He seems about invested in our club in 2019 as Jimmy Toumpas, Cale Morton, or Brock McLean

that's two of our three best forwards over the last twenty years, so good start.....

i would love to get one of the host of victorians playing at freo back as cheaply as possible be it langdon, brayshaw, cerra, ryan...the idea of pilfering one of their 20-23 year old vic boys after they've taken several of our wa boys in the past appeals greatly

tbh, i had no idea he was 26 or that he's clocked up over 100 games i thought he'd be about 24ish with less than 80 to his name, such as it is with the amount of injuries he's had

what's his ability outside the hurly-burly like at a lower level? does he also show the ability to break away from the contest with pace?

No, never...well, not that I can recall But he’s never had a decent run at it either

Another option as a tall forward recruit might be Sam Day from GC17 Had a rotten run with injury as well but shouldn’t command anything like the big $$ that Patton is already on and will have to be honoured with He's back playing for the neafl side after that horrific hip injury and from what I understand before this weekend he’s starting to get some fitness back

Ross Lyon

I think as his confidence has suffered he’s stopped ‘doing the work’ that it sounds like he was back to doing today I still reckon our best forward structure can accommodate him, Preuss and T Mac all together

more money to be made playing at the g than at taxpayer stadium north currently being made to look like premiership contenders by a very poor looking carlton

lever is the logical replacement when lewis goes

He competed hard and got a win in his first game - couldn’t ask for anything else really! Congrats to him and the fam @Drunkn167!

He spends so much time telling the various headless chooks in our defence where to position themselves that he’s still valuable enough to contribute

Richmond without their key defensive pillars really being threatened by Footscray’s marking power

Preuss in for Dec, maybe?

6 - Harmes 5 - Gawn 4 - Salem 3 - Oliver 2 - Lockhart 1 - Hibberd

We are...pretty bad No one leading for the return from play kick after a behind, no one leading i50 Skill level putrid About the only enjoyment I’m getting is enjoying seeing Lockhart buck that trend and booing $cully every time he kicks it like a Melbourne player and bombing it long to no one in particular

i personally trust the football / fitness etc. staff to be doing the right thing by our players but it is absolutely hilarious......

Mind boggling changes Weed will get awful delivery as a forward at vfl level; he might as well get awful delivery at afl level when opposed to better defenders O Mac goes back and allows T Mac to return forward...but Josh Wagner replacing Viney helps the midfield rotations how, exactly?!??
