Even this year the flag is there for the taking. Up to 10 teams could finish top 4 atm, and the unpredictable results indicate anyone can win it if they finish off H&A well. We've had our chances and failed miserably, eg. WCE in Perth We've failed to address key areas of need since 2021. Key forward/s, mids that can kick well, ruck depth. That's on Lamb, but also on the FD as a whole, especially Goody. After 2021 many outside the club expected a dynasty and several flags with the list we had. What a waste!

Sorry Scomo

Thanks Albo! 👍

Agreed. A good name, but also excellent advice

Still a poor kick and slow to move the ball on at times. On a terrible day he did well

There are only a few non tradables at our club. Clarry isn't one of them ATM. But he's worth more to us than what we'd get for a trade, so we get a good summer into him, try and keep focused and back to his best in 2025.

He's not near physically ready for drafting 😉

Has Kalani committed to us above GCS? Source? Hopefully the rumours of interest in Waterman are true. Petty goes back, JVR, Disco, Jeffo and Waterman as KPFs

I thought JvR was. Must've watched a different game

Yes, I watched the second half of the vfl game. The conditions didn't suit Jefferson at all, the ground was barely playable, but he's had a decent previous month. I don't believe selecting him will fix us, nor that blooding him is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Of course, we don't know the inner workings of selection committee, but he must be close. In fact someone on here quoted Choco as saying he's close. Picket Fence spoke with Jeffo at the G a couple of weeks ago and his spirits were very high. There's 5 games to go before finals. Our chances of playing beyond that are borderline at best. Top 4 is now a pipedream. Jefferson's time is soon, I hope they give him a go.

I'm sure any offer will be poultry

Surely it's about time to give Jeffo a shot for the last run of games home? No change means more of the same, which clearly isn't our future hope

Not sure if serious Did you watch the game? It's round 19, not 3

So much for the 'dynasty'. Fancy wooing Grundy by claiming we see 4 flags ahead. Guzzled our own bathwater

6 disp ea to Pickett and Disco

How was that not blocking against Walter's

Christ! Lever has had a mare

We knew that would be the case from the start. Had to beat two teams today

JvR our only forward today. In contrast, hard to find a Freo forward who hasn't had impact

Turner falls over with no more than a tickle

And to think, Roos apparently wanted to draft him had we kept pick 2 instead of trading it for Tyson and Salem

We are 100 miles of deserving to play finals. This trade and draft period will be incredibly important to our success next year and in 2026. As the new Tassie team and the northern state academy gifts swallow up the top picks for a number of years, we face an aging list without a ruck, key back and multiple elite midfielders, and that's not to mention no key forwards. Nail this trade and draft period and we can compete again for finals. If not, we risk sliding back down to familiar cellar dwelling territory. One thing is clear, we cannot win another flag with this list
