  1. I’m jealous watching Collingwood play such an attacking brand and going deeper into September than us despite an inferior list. After years of waiting for finals at the G again, watching us live the past two weeks was torture. We really need a gamestyle adjustment over summer or we’ll waste our window.
  2. Had a superb season and looks a future AA level key defender. His development is one of the few positives from this season.
  3. He looks a talent. Needs game time at senior level next year or he’ll head home to WA.
  4. Take whatever we can get for him and move on. He’ll never become the superstar he’s being touted as. Whether it’s mental or not, he’s been a liability at times this year. As it stands, he’s no good as a forward, no good as a midfielder, and average as a ruckman. He’s impressive for a big bloke when the ball hits the ground, but it’s a useless attribute to have as a tall player if you’re useless in the air! Two first rounders or one of Hayden Young or Caleb Serong please!
  5. Predictable and terrible second half. What a disappointing end to the season. That season can only be called a failure. Reigning champs with back to back home finals against interstate teams and we lost both. Our gameplan needs an overhaul over summer, and we need fresh personnel in the forward line. [censored] hell what a let down.
  6. Trash. Embarrassing trash. Please just get the job done!
  7. Our crowds have been phenomenal this season, but I expect a low crowd tonight for a final. Reckon we'll struggle to get 60,000 there tonight. If we win, I'd expect 90,000 against the Cats next week though!
  8. Hard to be confident when we’ve only won 6 out of our last 13 matches… We should win tonight. It’s an outright disaster if we don’t. 10-0 to straight sets out of finals with repeat home finals would be trash, Brisbane level trash ironically. Just get it done boys.
  9. Our forward line is so uninspiring. It’s hard to see us going all the way this year with Ben Brown being double teamed and no one else stepping up to be a consistent threat. We’ve got one tall forward in BBrown, so in theory we have a heap of smalls putting on heaps of pressure locking the ball in. Good in theory, but in reality it’s not happening and we’re getting torched on the rebound. With the amount of players we have clearly injured or underdone, I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re out in straight sets.
  10. Taranto is A grade if he gets his body right. Bringing Taranto and Hopper in completely rejuvenated their midfield and keeps them competitive for a few more years. No idea how they got them both to nominate them. Hats off to the Tigers on the coup. Let’s just hope we can get a quality tall forward in!
  11. I like Clark, but he’s not a lockdown defender type like Hibbo. He’s played his best football as a rebounding defender or a midfielder. He’s got decent skills and decision making and isn’t bad working through traffic either. If we could get him cheap I’d be all for it as he brings a point of difference to our one paced mids and flankers.
  12. For our needs, it's Cadman or bust it seems. Shame it's not a deep draft for tall forwards. Our KPF stocks are poor both in quality and quantity. Hopefully we get another highly talented one to pair with JVR longer term.
  13. Weight of traffic through the Langdon wing and left forward pocket would mean we turn it over there more. Interesting to see right half forward flank randomly stick out though. Unsure if that’s due to failed switch or corridor movement when we try to run and gun if we’ve got the chance… Our predictable game style has its pros and cons. We know where we’ll turn it over if it happens and give ourselves a chance to setup and defend it well. On the other hand if we’re not playing well/opposition have a solid strategy in place then we just get burnt on rebound. Those numbers backup the eye test and probably show we need to have a hit more variety in offense, even if it using both sides of the ground more evenly.
  14. Some key stats there are 10 clearances to 0. 6 tackles to 2. Brayshaw played well, but he was more a link man off half back flank and not a massive impact. Serong was in everything all over the ground. He started everything for them winning it and going forward and locked it in when he didn’t win it. He had a much bigger impact on the match than Brayshaw and all others on the field. It was a brilliant performance and made me very envious of Freo having him and Young on their list. Both are superb young talents who have now stood up on the big stage of finals.
  15. Silly thread, though I was keen on Young at draft. Jackson is a demon now, Young is not. If Jackson requests a trade to Freo, then a straight swap for Young would be a good result. Unlikely to happen though as why would he leave the Dockers on the rise after signing a 5 year extension.
  16. Suck [censored] Doggies get back in your kennel! Great comeback by Freo and best round of finals matches I can remember. Every game had intensity and there were some tight finishes too. Gotta love footy!
  17. We can’t complain, but Freo nailed that 2019 draft getting Young and Serong. They’re both brilliant young players and are standing up on the big stage tonight. Serong just keeps going with repeat efforts and never stops moving.
  18. Freo getting a poor run from the umps here. Impressive comeback though!
  19. Dockers back in this now. Amazing the difference it makes when a team embraces imperfection and just keeps moving forward. Seems such a basic concept but we still don’t embrace it.
  20. We don’t need to spend 700k+ on a 29 year old injured ruckman. Or any ruckman for that matter. The role is the least impactful on the ground. We need quality tall marking forwards and skillful midfielders and forward flankers. Spend the big bucks on the key forward!
  21. If Jackson nominates Freo, can we demand a straight swap for Hayden Young? I know he signed a long extension, but he’s a gun and looks like he’ll own a position on the AA HBF for years to come. Could become a mid too IMO.
  22. [censored] I hate the dogs. They don’t even deserve to be playing finals this year yet somehow pull this it of their [censored]. Just [censored] off you mullet scum
  23. It’s looking like they’re running this out better. Not looking forward to playing Pies again if we make it to the prelim! Their run and gun attack punches through defensive zones and turns matches into a complete game of chance.
  24. Doubt it considering they got toweled house by Hickey and Gawn can’t hit the side of a barn recently!
  25. Pies and Swans move the ball so much better than us on rebound and kick outs. Game style alteration required for us over the off season to become potent offensively again.
