Big fan of Gus' and he's putting together a brilliant year which vindicates the choice to delay signing. In 2 recent interviews (Big Freeze and Gus and Gawny) he's seemed very uncomfortable when asked about his contract though. It may be that he's just that way when talking about these things, but for a bloke that is usually quite eloquent I get the feeling there is something to hide here. It may be that he is just searching to maximise his deal or perhaps the option to play with his brother is getting more consideration than we'd like to think would be possible.

Yeah, wasn't good for the blood pressure

I felt as though Perts speach to the playing group was a thinly veiled discussion around why people need to leave some cash on the negotiation table 😅

Absolute gun. Had 2 clear marks punched from his hands in Q1 against the Hawks and didn't drop his bundle either. He's a pro

Why not add more salt to the wound?

That's my take. I think he'll stay short term to kick the big decision down the road. Subconsciously he'll be working towards a move back west in 2-4 years. It's really upto the club to continue to be successful and make decisions to leave in a couple of years a difficult one again. With all that said I also wouldn't be surprised if he signed a godfather deal because he does seem to love the lads and the city

Are you saying he shouldn't have kicked the goal after the siren??? Oh boy....

I quite like the OP, but Salem's hardness and defensive skills are underrated imo. He's more than just a great user of the ball and his role last year was perfect for him imo

That's a little harsh IMO. Playing in a KP forward role you have to back yourself to kick goals - sure there were a few moments where there were better options but forwards are paid to kick goals so I don't begrudge him for trying. The Harmes/Mark incident was clumsy and lacked awareness (or a call from the other lad in the square to confirm there was no Hawks player in the area) but if in doubt you take the mark and ice the goal imo. In terms of changes this week, Ive had covid recently and am impressed by guys like Viney coming back and performing strongly in a short turn around. Some of the guys may miss again imo. Our depth is strong and whilst all the guys that missed out are great players there is a balance to be had between picking the match fit guys Vs the better players that might be slightly underdone. In: Petty, Jackson, Sparrow Out: Smith, Weideman, Dunstan

Brilliant leadership from the club. Fantastic to see Crazy to see so many people getting triggered on Facebook though!!

Ordered haha

I'll throw Benny Browns stong hands in the 3rd and early in the 4th into the mix. Nothing better in the game than seeing the big forwards clunking them and kicking truly

Being at the game I found Q3 to be an absolute roller-coaster of emotions. When clarry banged that 3rd goal in 1 minute I welled up for sure. What a performance from the lads

Guilty

At least I know what shop has had some practice- how good to see the WA boys get inked - lock them in eddy https://thewest.com.au/sport/afl/birthday-boy-luke-jackson-among-melbourne-demons-premiership-players-get-tattoos-in-perth-after-historic-grand-final-victory--c-4099816?utm_content=buffere9633&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=the-west-news&fbclid=IwAR3ZEWM0KjrgHmqQNGQKlDEJtF5dvGSGKE3GZ0hMfStYXKieoPIKUq4_kUc

Charlie Spargo (chanted to the Barmy Army song). Supreme ball use inside 50 this year. Jayden Hunt - cemented a spot in the 22 for most if the year until injured after a few years being on the periphery

His game against the Eagles this year was great. Has had a great career

Good post. Definitely one of the most notable and passionate contributors on this forum during the period that I was most active too.

#39 is his. Great player and great leader.

I whipped some poor bloke sitting behind me in the face with my scarf after Clarrys goal. Lost the plot! Teared up. That was the moment.

Can't believe it

Bloody hell. Get around the boys Love all the demonland crew We desteoyed them I will never recover

I was about to write a response but you have done it for me. Gracias

I like hibbo in the side. Workmanlike defender. Gives us some options - Salem and Bowey provide upgrades on Hunt IMO
