I have never seen White play but reports don't seem wonderful. We could be the only bidders.

Be happy with White, Jackson is a day dream.

Our finals campaign is over for this year so we need to find out if Jefferson and JVR will be in our future. Petty is the one that has to make way for them in the short term.

Everything about this comp is beyond rational. Why is this game at Port?

It should be an interesting game, we have Jefferson back playing after not playing in either side last weekend. I wouldime to see Kentfield in the forward line. Weather forecast is cold, by game time in single figures with chance of showers. Would appear this fixturing is to give 7 something to show on Saturday evening.

And we hear nothing from the media about how poor the feeder comp is. Too scared to upset their masters.

Turner stays back and Petty is out for Jefferson. It won't happen on Sunday but must the next game.

That makes 2 of us. The only possible change IMO would be Viney but is his hand / brain ok? Who knows certainly not me.

Dr I just looked at the long list team. I don't think there will be any change to last week's team. Possibly Viney in but who would know about his injury. The club posts have been all smoke and mirrors for the last month so who would know his real fitness to play.

Petty is not a forward JVR is. Half of JVR is time was in the ruck which is where most of those starts came from. As a KPF this year his form at senior level and Casey has been poor. It's so poor Johnson has been prefered to him.

I actually think the top 50% are paid too much pf.

I think it means Parish priests never look happy. I have not known many but I tend to agree. Or I could be totally wrong!

So why is he so poor this year? Even at Casey his only good games were against a very poor Preston and an almost as bad Sydney. I know we will never agree on JVR but this year his form does not justify a place in the senior side. How long do we have to wait in 2025.

DJ he has played poorly all year. I have zero confidence that will change. He only played 60% of the game on Monday. That suggests he spent approx 30% of the game as a forward. Looks like the coach has a low opinion of him to me.

Ignore him, he has to justify his existence.

That we know of rpfc. Because the AFL does not want someone to take their rules to court. If someone takes them to court for restrain of trade the whole deck of cards come crashing down.

I like Petty you get what you see. Expecting him to be a champion KPF is pushing the envelope too far. You will get 100% form him every week, depending on his opponent his results will vary. He does a lot of grunt work that goes unnoticed / unappreciated. He has after all played a valuable part in a Premiership team.

That we know of rpfc.

Spot on D 3165 they are meaningful only as long as the player is enjoying it. For the club the benefit is they then control the narrative when negotiations start.

I find it hard to believe Freo would release him without getting an over the top deal. They have all the elements on their side.

I have thought all along this is just wishful thinking on our part. Jackson is not leaving Freo. Our recruiting lies elsewhere.

JVR is no thin weakling why was he so poor as a forward. He will no doubt play against port as we wait for Johnson to finish his suspension. If you think Jefferson could not do better on monday then will he ever?

I have always thought that getting Jackson was a fairy story. However what if we added JVR to the trade?

I think it is a good move Dr. I hope Kossie realises for this money you don't get reported. We can now concentrate on fixing our kpf problems. Fix that and we can start 2026 with a real chance of GF appearance.

Nope he will kick the winning goal and we will think the deal is good value.
