Just look at the fiasco that is the VFL, as a feeder comp for the AFL it is poor. Numerous bye’s that impact players returning from injury.A Player who get dropped because of form loss find oh there is no game this week in the reserves you will have to sit on your hands for a week.

That has won the competition.

I have been complaining about this for years, just another team to draw players from the pool which gets lower by the day. So instead of having 5 teams that have no chance of playing finals mid year we will have 6 or 7. Add the player contracts which will see even more players trying to get out of the bottom half dozen teams. Essendrug is a view to the future for more teams.

Spot on bb. Brown played a big part in our team in 2021. Geelong has shown over years how good grabbing a good quality player near the end of his career can work. I forget his name but they grabbed a hawthorn player at the end of his career a few years back who ended winning the Norm Smith.

Dannz, don't you mean re sign?

I have no problem with those de listings, clearly over the last two year we lost out in the talent pool especially in the 20 to 30 range of players. Add VFL players who never showed more talent than VFL level e.g Verrall. I am no big fan of Spargo and he has become injury prone over the last couple of seasons. He can walk away with a premiership medal that is something a lot never achieve. Changes need to be made!

Looks like a disaster in the making DJ.

All true DJ, However the only interest I have is praying we don't get any injuries to our players. 14th February in Perth it is liable to be 43deg. I hope it is a night game.

Yep sounds like a good idea to me.

The thing I like about this decision is that not a single word came from the club during the process. Too often clubs have serious leaks including the mfc. Not a word of comment from the club. A Solid effort.

As you are no doubt aware brownie the VFL must be the worst run sporting competition in Australia. I think they don't want to subtract one fan from the WAFL. They want ever possible pair of eyes on the WAFL. In fact they will probably count the fans watching by individual eyeballs. 20k eyeballs looks a lot bigger than 10k spectators.

Agree DS. We have 3 NQRs in Fullerton, Jefferson and Dull. You mentioned Adams, hmm 1 poor game at senior level to his credit. Being average in your first game is half expected. But Poor! Let's say that the job is in front of him.

This raises an interesting situation at the MFC. We have no coach yet we seem to be making decisions on who comes and goes.

Journalists! 95% are commentators. CT hails from the 5% area.

IMO Mr. Leg he has already shown us what he can do. It ain't much.

Sorry sns. I will have to reread, leaving that aside I think GWS would be the poorer from such a deal. May's value is over rated on here.

Have you watched any games this year? He has consistently been the best KPB this year. He is the glue that has held the backline together and will do so again next season.

I would take that in a flash, sadly GWS are not that silly.

Why on earth would GWS want May!

Agree with all except Salem. Culley is a keep for mine. You are supposing 6 changes, that is a high number by the averages. The problem is who are you bringing in to replace them? It's pointless if you are only replacing one nqr with another nqr. Take JVR as an example. Good Key forwards seem to be rarest of players across the league. In JVR's case in his first year he showed a lot of promise. Since then zero improvement imo. I don't think you would get much if you traded him. From memory we coffed up a first round pick for him. In my wildest dreams I don't think we would get more than a 2nd round pick.

Hmm, 12 on the player list and 13 results!

Well this is a surprise Joe. I agree with most however I think you are a little harsh on Salem and Adam’s only had one game. This year I am sad to say I have finally come to agree with you Sparrow. Why is his in the team?

Spot on JCB.

2 veterans who held the fowardline and backline together this year. Good to see they will be there in 2026. Sadly it does show how poor our younger KPF's and KPB's are.

Still the best time for a footy game! But then I am old.
