The west coast games - TMac goal on siren and ‘lightning gate’. the last round out at Whitten oval to make the finals gf 2021 gf Aflx (Just joking)

The 2023 Clarrie, ready to draw attention and gallop away with the Charlie

Option 3 done. Other options still in play!

Looks like something from My Little Pony with the mane blowing back like that.

Should call the new kid Faris-white ‘the pirate’. He has a sunken chest!

Imagining Baker with a mullet and a lip slug. Oh dear god….

Could we also be trying to move back next year with lots of points to do the f/s dance (mini-Dogga)? If we go forward this year, and back with points next year, we could ‘win’ in both scenarios?

Not sure, just that it is now in play and many clubs are exploring the opportunity to add talent at soft cap discounts….

I hope we are all surprised by the 22. Given how formulaic and predictable we were i hope we see an upbeat addition to our generally sound style, with skills and speed added on every line. This would mean different talents used in different ways. Our core remains, but i hope to see some new and younger faces demanding selection around the edges. Only then will we keep up in ‘23.

It is also that only 50% of their (females in senior or coaching positions) salaries are included in the soft cap. This is to encourage recruitment of females into the otherwise male domain. This also impacts Daisy when she goes to Geelong in a coaching role next year.

I think all we will do is ‘scout’ the market and be ready for draft night - if someone is available that we really want can we move up and swoop - or move down and still get our target? Second round draft night is where I think the action will really take place, or if f/s and NGA picks become unexpectedly expensive or cheap.

The Ron Barassi Demons…. I might take that!

Great having Red Bull on the sponsorship team if we get great cross promos like this!

We can play the kid at lower levels, as we did with Bradtke when he started. It is not VFL or nothing.

Reportedly played more AFL than bball as a junior. Grew up in vic then travelled having a shot at basketball in Perth, Canada and USA. Hasn’t been registered with the AFL for 3 years so qualified as a cat B. Sneaky, I love it!

My User Name emerged from the ZZ TOP song I was listening to when I first signed up. Was living OS at the time. I thought it described what it was like to be a Dees tragic…You think each year you are in the emperors new clothes, only to find you are left Buck Nekkid come September….

Not sure Jake could say such a big word, let alone spell it….

Waiting for the heading “Ratsacked” and a pic of the old rat bait. wonder who moved the cheese?

I wonder if we are hard at work trying to get up the boards for this year and next as per our usual trade plays?

I am keen to discuss our coaching roster. How do we rate Goody (7/10 for me) should we change things up? Get a forwards coach that isnt Stafford? what happened to Chockos supposed focus on skills? selwyn ‘play injured’ griffiths.?..? what needs to change to get our side back on track for 23, and do we have the right personnel on and off the paddock to deliver.

Strawberry odwyer and Stynes!

At least there was no “i decided mid year, I’m looking forward to learning a lot from some spud and i have no respect for the hand that fed me”….

So what are we left with? 13 and….. then 2 firsts, 2 seconds and a third in the strong draft next year, when we have a f/s prospect to boot?

Says he knew from mid year. Met with them in the bye week. Pitches from both WA teams. feeling like he had checked out from then. thanks for the flag, hope you never see another, except on TV.

A really great game. The ball movement was excellent, the discipline, the hardness in every contest. I was highly impressed by the skills and their application. Increasing % by about 30% was also a huge bonus. Very impressive!
