How bad is it Ghosty?!

🤌

Thankyou

Whats the basis of the speculation around fritsch? Hope we put in a stronger showing than we did against the dockers. Not the worst time to play the suns tbh

I love Fritta. I love Kozzy. What a bunch of legends. What a win

Both are absolutle legends of the club. Hope we win well for them both

@Rednblueriseing

I think @Ghostwriter posted the bay earlier in the thread. Sounded like the opposite side to usual

My point is that the names we gave up werent let go by choice for the most part. No employer can keep rising stars happy unless theyre paying them well and promoting them. Also, Shaq and Billings were speculative picks - high draft picks, potentially worth a gamble given we didnt give up anything for them. Hunter played a fair bit and was decent enough - what could have been if Gus wasnt KO'd and we hadnt capitulated against Carlton. If he had played in a flag no one would have knocked this move. McAdam has had a bad run with injury.

Meh. Hindsight at its best. Try fitting all of our flag heros into the cap and then tell me we were butchers. If we'd have turned up in the 2022 and 2023 finals it would be a non issue

It was a hot and humid afternoon. I think the conditions are part of the reason the first quarter went the way it did. One of those rare occasions where the home ground advantage wasnt just the number of fans- i think the conditions compounded the advantage, along with the maggots haha

This comment has a clear lack of understanding about salary cap and recruiting. Fringe 23 players are always targeted by other clubs willing to pay them well over their current clubs salary. End of story IMO. All of those guys a good role players at best now days too

Sparrow has become the next gen ANB for the hand wringing fans. Clearly a coachable guy who sticks to task

One for Binman; During the goodwin era you often used loading/fatigue and the time of year to rationalise teams form. A couple of times now Steven King has outwardly spoken about how the game looks different for the opening 6 rounds. Interested to know if you think that is a reference to loading/high performance planning, or whether this is more reflective of the game being quicker and more open while the weather is clearer and more suited to a riskier game style.

Jiath had a clanger or two but aside fr9m that he was decent

Freo were absolutley clinical when we fumbled, and equally it seemed liike every time the maggots didnt pay us Holding the Ball, the ball would spill out and they'd take it coast to coast. I guess the point is that i cannot imagine that happening every week. We were off and they were VERY on. I hope they dont make too many changes. Id stick with a similar team for a good patch of games before making too many whole sape changes

Thats how i saw it too

Media narratives will be interesting on this one. The team that changed Vs the team that have gone all in with the same coach and team.

Steele Gawn Salem Langdon Kozzie Jaith

Decent reality check on a hot afternoon. Lots of room for improvement and as others have said getting Viney back will help us. Gawny battled hard and Jack Steele is a warrior

Looking forward to sitting with the faithful this evening and seeing what the new look Dees have got. All my docker mates are bircking it. Two high trauma fan bases haha

This. Love how kingy speaks so highly of his athletic profile

Ill be there with my young lad.

No change unless anyone is sore or injured

Shout out to the milesone man. Salem had a solid game and is a true legend of the club. Cant say enough good things about the way he goes about it. Hope he plays another 50-100 . Great win boys
