Effort, intensity, buy in and players showing they are playing with enjoyment. I’m feeling 15 again loving this ride like 1987

Playing with endeavour, intensity, dash and hard at the contest. 3 more quarters of that against a really good side I’ll be happy with that

Very power rangers

To be a good side Bin must continually turn the magnets and list over. still think JV can have defensive fwd mid rotation role for 2 more years

One WA boy to watch Midfielder Leo Steed undersized mid, but I’ve watched him at school and WAFL footy for 3 years, a lot of Caleb Serong traits

I’m sorry but this isn’t about slightly negative comments my point on the game day thread is the personal attacks on players especially the whipping boys like Sparrow, Lever and Kolt. We have the resident peanut going on about Clarry not being in there as the reason for yesterday and we have supporters stating King has destroyed our defensive capabilities in a few months. How long have we all been involved in or watched footy, judging by our supporters demographics I’d say the answer for most of us is a long time. So by all means vent, fumbles, poor efforts at contested loose ground balls, players not attacking the aerial ball coming in, getting smashed at the clearance and skill errors that’s fine. Don’t get personal and King is what 9 quarters into his coaching career when these comments were made, Give him some time to prove he can change things or not. We’ve put it out there how we’re going to play and opposition teams aren’t just going to allow us to do that, they’ll put work into us to prevent the run and we have to work through challenges and figure it out. Carlton had 17 days to go away and work on a plan to stop our run and win the game Maybe see what King and the team can do to counter what Carlton bring The smashing at the clearance yesterday was obvious to all of us, and as I said we have the old Clarry and Trac whingers saying I told you so, well the boys need to learn the hard way and exposure does this as it did for the Hawks when the moved Mitchell and O”Meara to expose the youth. Well I think yesterday Sparrow, Kossie and Windsor worked their way through it and with Steele adding far more structural wise to our midfield I think the new brigade can continue to develop. The defence struggled early yesterday but who wouldn’t have the way we were getting dominated at the clearance and couldn’t create any run from our D50 meant they were under siege. Well done to Lever and Tmac who stood tall and to Kolt and Howes who both turned around shaky starts. Anyone who has sat in a coaches box understands identity what’s happening, stay calm and try to work through what’s been presented. It won’t always work but at least see how a coaching group responds So kudos for yesterday and we move on to Gold Coast who’ve also had time to counter our game they present a huge challenge with their ability to win contested footy, run 2 ways and impact the scoreboard. Vent if you want but keep it reasonable

Agree totally

I wonder every week do people ever look back with embarrassment on their posts

Great win, boys dug deep some whipping boys had good games and Kossie was absolutely brilliant

A man with fortitude would have kept his promise

How was your pre season Red

Max has had two games beat both opponents convincingly, Petty is there to give a chop out like he was against the Saints and lst night before Turner went down. Tmac comes in for Turner, we need run, if Heath comes in one of your forwards comes out, who is it JVR, Miochek or Fritsch

Nailed it, this is very much going to be a season like 2010, kids coming through showing real promise and then having games where their youth and ability to put together 4-5 strong back to back games is tested. Although I’m confident both the club and spread of talent and age demographic across our list is better then it was at the end of 2010

This makes no sense you want Heath in why? At least give some reason eg: back up Gawn Carlton are vulnerable to pressure and teams who are prepared to run hard. Tmac for Turner if he’s out is one change, unless we’re bringing AMW in for ball movement from the back half can’t see many more

Just finished watching it on delay 6.Steele 5.Gawn 4.Langdon 3.Kolt 2.Salem 1.Rivers

Be to close to purple wouldn’t it. Think we’ll go with the Royal blue

6-Gawn 5-JVR 4-Windsor 3-Steele 2- Miochek 1-Petty

Sharp and Kolt copped it early along with Lindsay, Lever, Fritsch and Salem. Thought Sharp was really important in the 4th and got involved in transition chains throughout, Lindsay got better in the second half and Kolt was ok on NWM , not great but curbed him around the ground outside of their F50 where NSW had him. Fritsch who I’ve been critical of worked hard to get up the ground but did like a few have some moments that were poor. Lever was caught in no man’s land a few times and Salem had some shockers but they both had some good moments but there’s room for improvement with both

Great win, effort there all day but FFS Some of you should be embarrassed with your comments on the game day thread, I’ll give you a tip Rd 1 next year we’ll also be a little rusty. Max take a bow

Picket writing you off is a godsend for a player whilst his pumping you up has the opposite effect

So Culley and/or JVR to share back up ruck duties, considering Heath hasn’t been mentioned for club debut

They can do it now that Gold Coast are fully loaded with a generation of Academy picks + Mac Andrew. The foundations are well and truly set now. We will have to pay full whack now for any FS coming through in future years

I’m not saying we can’t win, just need a good start and everything to go right
