Freo will need currency to lure those blokes. I think Fyfe is a real chance of going to Gold Coast.

One thing's for sure and that is Freo footy club has a bad smell coming out of it right now. I think 'Ross the Boss' might infact be 'Ross the toss'. Ed: Oh, and by the way, after years of torment from Freo supporters I'm making every second of their shitty season count.

So it was just reported here on 7 news break in Perf that St Kilda and Essendon are "considering making a play for Nat Fyfe."

Clearly the reason Sylvia didn't fire a shot at the Dockers.

Nah, that's just the pubs.

Next Captain? I don't think that'll be the case at all. Everyone thought he was a shoe-in for it last year but Mundy took it on. I think Fyfe passed on it for a reason. He's not as heavily invested in Fremantle as people may think.

Care to elaborate on Perth's 'inadequacies'?

It's 'P Diddy's' stock reply to go for the GF analogy on any topic. Does get boring after a while.

Fuggit.

Two weeks down to one with an early plea. Dont suppose it'd be worth the challenge.

Have you got a man-bun?

Okay, let's give him a break but instead focus solely on the umpires inability to adjudicate it. The last thing we want to see is the sport become another 'Soccer-like' penalty seeking theatrics. I want to see players bullocking away from contests when tackles are applied. Umps need to start calling it out before the year is out.

Nick Reiwoldt-esque the way he covered ground and snagged goals today. Fair comparison?

If Leppa is worth his salt as a coach he'd give him a clip himself and tell him to cut that [censored] out.

People getting stuck into him via Twitter.

Wut?

I'll second that solution.

I don't know whether you guys got the segment in Vic but I just watched it here in Perf. Said that his contract is not about money but rather team success, J Browns comments are no more than a little love for his fellow key forwards and Ross Lyons missus cooks a wicked lamb roast. Also, Lachie Reid who interviewed is a passionate Dee's fan who I've had the pleasure of chatting to a couple of times at functions. Apparently Hogan was sitting in cattle class (a sure sign MFC know he's going) but Lachie pulled some strings (ch10 budget strings I'd say) and managed to get Hoges upgraded to Business class. Oh, almost forgot... He also donated some bone to Nat Fyfes leg injury.

Imagine not having Hogan out there today? Would've been an annihilation.

He stated a couple of days ago that you've got to get your talent from the draft. He's been burnt by FA and traded in injury prone players. I reckon his view on McCarthy has changed to one of thinking he's a bit of a pillock by staying in WA and training with east Freo and clearly burning his bridge to GWS. Turning his attention to Hogan is illogical imo because you'll have a jet CHF surrounded by a group of L platers. He's there until 2020 so we'll see how it pans out.

Yeah and the other one has a forward half full of goal kickers.

There was a bit on ch 10 over here last night about Hooker, McCarthy and Hogan but the kids were screaming so I didn't hear it. But honestly, if Hogan leaves us for Freo I would be gobsmacked. Lyon has proved once again he is a coach who rides in on the coat tails of previous coaches development Proceeds to decimate the list whilst chasing a flag Freo's list is full of only average players that can't execute an attacking game plan (Jesse would love that reduction inside 50's I bet) Bennell can't get on the park Neale probably leaving Walters the only decent small forward Fyfe doubtful Fortnightly travel I could go on but if you care to reflect these items against what we have to offer and include his desire to be a great player in a team with so much potential for success well, I consider it'd be an extremely dumb decision for him to leave.

Not really. Goodwin instigated the meeting - that's whose back I'd be patting.

[censored] the contract talk, surely this must be a big chance for his first major bag. I'm thinking 7 goals.

Just trying one on.
