Even if JvR was out for the year that is not our doing. It would be down to bad luck. Another media idjut

So that absolves him from all responsibility for effort? Or do you mean he is above criticism. Asking for a friend...

Yeah he did , rd 15 2 kicks

Then you clearly didnt watch him last year. No denying his talents but his second efforts and tackling are frankly deplorable and these are the cornerstones of our game style. That was what he showed on the weekend When the opp can waltz the ball out of the d50 with ease it pressures every other phase of the game. He has been lazy for quite a while now and last year he went to half time in at least 9 games where he had only 1 or 2 possessions. Disgraceful. You might say he's our most reliable fwd but that is a very narrow view. In a team sport you cant have passengers like him

We offered 3 first rounders for Harley Reid and were rejected.........

Interesting to note that GWS will already have played one game. You'd have to think thats an advantage

Thought Freo really shut down our overlap handball. It seemed each time we handballed fwd out guy was immediately under pressure. Freo seemed to read that play very well. We need to get more separation when calling for a hb receive

Great point assist by Fritsch Is he going to freo too?

Fritsch beginning 2025 where he left 2024 i see

Same

Have you seen him play anywhere else?

Terlich finished 3rd in the Bluey behind Nathan Jones and Colin Garland.

When we wallop Freo it may cause him to rethink any ideas about going there.....

How ridiculous that a willing employee and willing employer cant agree their own terms without the overreach of the union dominated FWC

I bet you do 🤣

The great moralisers of Demonland are out in force I see.

Tracc playing according to Max on the news tonight I think we need at least one full hit out with a strong side before the real stuff starts.

Windsor is underdone. Don't want the situation we had last year with Bowey in Rd 1

The commentary was great. Informative, measured no histriinics

I hope he makes it but I've seen nothing to hang My hat on. Not writing him off but gee he's gotta show something

When it was decided to introduce GWS and GC, 62% of the advertising revenue came from NSW and Southern Queensland. NRL viewership dwarfed AFL in the top 20 watched games (excluding one offs like the Olympics) most years. They accounted for something like 18 out of the 20 most watched sporting events. Hence the decision was made to expand the AFL. It was all about money, ad revenue and broadcasting rights. And increasing the number of games on TV. NRL has a low attendance numbers but huge TV audience. And of course gambling. That's the key to it all.

Very interesting comment. Lever does get a free pass. Its almost as if they're a package, May and Lever. Theres a lot to be said for close communication and familiarity and system but he had some stinkers last year.

Get a room...
