Jaded No More

I rewatched the replay yesterday and Clarry was destroying them. Not only was he everywhere, but he got his hands on the footy consistently which created the ball movement that got us those early goals. He was at the start of multiple chains that resulted in goals. He was the most influential player on the ground in that first quarter. As for my last comment, that was clearly tongue in cheek. I think anyone who wonder why Clarry hasn't won a Brownlow yet needs to understand that he has a lot of competition within his own team for votes. Both he and Trac are incredibly consistent and extremely good players, who will continue to take votes of one another. Of course I rather those two win flags than win Brownlows!

Doesn’t help that he’s playing for a dumpster fire of a team in the wrong position tho. Was not the case last year.

Unfortunately the tank is on at both West Coast and Hawthorn whereas Freo and Richmond have nothing to gain by finishing as low as possible. So I think pick 4 is the absolute best outcome we can hope for. West Coast, Hawks and Norf will fight to the death for that spoon. We play Hawks twice and Norf once more… so good luck to us if we think Freo finish bottom.

How lucky are we to have this man as our captain. The best captain in the AFL hands down. Not just a genuine superstar, but the most empathetic, down to earth, relatable and likable character in the game. You would just love to play with him and for him.

Someone call Grant Thomas to critique this please

I think you’ll find that getting Fritta with the pick we got from Watts has made it indeed a very happy ending.

I think in general because the game was done within 8 minutes and the other defenders had their forwards covered, he was able to play a lot more loosely and run off and impact forward of the centre more than usual. Had a great game as a result.

Where in my post did I say he was not a great footballer? I said he will run the AFL one day. He has a finger in every pie and the media love him. Just because I find him and his club insufferable, doesn’t mean I don’t recognize what a great player he’s been over the journey.

No coincidence that he played more midfield minutes and got votes. He’s wasted down back but I understand why he’s been down there.

Makes sense. Maybe he did an indoor session today or maybe he’s on a rest day. I guess we will wait and see if he is at main training on Wednesday (?). Goodwin was very confident he will be back this week as he’s progressing well through the protocol. He was also very clear last week that Spargo is not ready, so clearly those two were having different progressions through the concussion. Spargo must have had it worse.

Because he is Steven May. He just grew a new head. Stop asking silly questions.

Steven May says yes.

He is apparently only a couple of weeks away which gives him 2 games at Casey first. That would be about right I would think. They won’t let him waste his time at Casey for any longer unless he’s really in bad touch or struggling with fitness/pain.

Maybe because it was the captains run it was fine since it's not a competitive hit out? I have no idea how these protocols work... well clearly they don't... hence the lawsuits.

Because its Dangerfield. He will run the AFL one day. Everyone just loves to fawn all over him. Same way that they tell me how great Hawkins is, because he literally decapitates his opponent each week so he can take a mark, and the umpires let it happen. Imagine if Gawn could do half the [censored] Hawkins does... he would be taking 95 contested marks a game.

I reckon Clarko gave Oliver 4. He basically killed the game in the first quarter. Made sure it was done and dusted. Great to see Kade recognized too! Bloody Trac is why Clarry won’t win a Brownlow by the way. And why Trac won’t win one either. Rude 😂

He’s not out of concussion protocol yet so maybe that’s why he isn’t training? Was Spargo training?

He might have had to wait a long time for his opportunity, but he’s become a more well rounded and better player because of it. The midfield time he got at Casey made him a complete player at AFL level in that small high half forward role. No chance he would have got midfield time at senior level to develop his gut running and defensive role. And because he’s such a well rounded player now, he won’t be in and out of the team like a lot of inexperienced players, so I hope he understands that and sticks around long term to reap the rewards. Been in my top 5 best players so far this season.

100% Hunty got a raw deal. He didn’t want to go. I am frankly shocked that he didn’t have more interest from better clubs. Given the trend for fast ball movement and going down the line, I would have thought he could have got a regular game at some decent clubs. Certainly wasted at goddamn West Coast. What a disgrace they are.

They might push him til after the Freo game and then bring Salem straight in for him as head into a difficult month (Carlton, Collingwood, Geelong).

Remember when it was never a good day to be a Demon… let alone a great one?! How times have changed.

Clever. Our marketing team as soon as Kosi signed
