Mentha, isn’t that what Mike Tyson refers to when he’s talking about intellectuals

Has Olisik returned under a new name, very similar posting

Don’t feed the troll, how many times do you fall for it

His agility for a tall is good in terms of clean at ground level. His lateral movement is where think he lacks agility. Pace has improved from last season but still wouldn’t say he’s quick, what they may be referring to is his explosion off the mark

Also a very talented cricketer and played lacrosse

Would be happy with this UFA pick up

Unlike you we look at and understand the big picture

Yes good to see, hope he goes well. Gary and Naomi are great people and hopefully get to see their son forge a great career.

Freo play on Optus which is notoriously hard deck, so the surface is not similar

Love Luka as a competitor hard as nails and would run through brick walls for you. Lateral movement and pace aren’t strengths, which I think may effect him at AFL level but he is only 18, could he be a Miochek, possibly in a few years. Seen him play against my oldest all the way through junior footy and they played cricket together as juniors super kid who comes from a good well grounded family

Yes but that’s pure hyperbole, there are some rumblings here with regards to talent development needing an overhaul which it does desperately and there are some powerful footy people who want to end the job for the boys which has been occurring in the WAFC. It will happen Marc Webbs appointment as full time u/18s coach is just the start. Bo Allan will definitely get picked up first two rounds and Urquart is that big bodied mid who a club will take a punt on. Kicking is poor but at that size and his impact around the stoppages he will be taken. I rated Malakai Champion very highly as a14/15 year old and he was one of the best I’ve seen at that age. Still a good player but at that size I haven’t seen a development in explosive speed which he needs. There are good players in the squad and some late development players who have stepped up like Davis, Angove and Becker. Van Der Struyf has pace and elite foot skills. Blake Kelly is a gun and Cody Curtin (brother of Dan) and Charlie Banfield developing very quickly but they are 2025 draft. Just IMO not enough depth to beat the other 4 sides

Watched WA 18s on Saturday can’t see them winning a game

Thanks, but I was at Community footy and listening on headphones. I did it more out of curiosity to take on board when I watched the game later

No he isn’t good enough for AFL, he ain’t a gorilla, lacks pace, lateral movement and no real X factor. Very good WAFL forward but that’s the ceiling

Are you kidding didn’t you see them on the game day thread, when Saints flooded the back half and just nullified the game in the second quarter. They went quiet for most of the second half but were back posting late with us giving up late goals when the game was done. Ffs you just can’t help some of these posters

Yes but the full quote doesn’t have the same effect for the narrative. I don’t know if we’ll fully go back, I think a few tweaks because we have clearly changed things up a little and I would expect a compromise of sought between relying on slingshot from turnover and just brutality at the stoppage and locking it inside F50 Carlton changed mid last season to going back to being brutal contested beasts.

It’s better then our finals record since 2021

Last season he was known to go the oval on Friday arvo at Hale school every week and not leave until he’d have 100 set shots. Think he could be a late developerp

I have heard whispers a few clubs including us may be keen on Hamish Davis with a late pick (3rd/4th round). Played as (medium size) key forward last season at PSA and WAFL, however been playing HHF, wing and inside midfield roles this year. Good tank, decent size for that fwd/mid role and can impact the scoreboard. Plenty of development there and has the right attitude

It is but we have certainly had a long summer, it’s high 20s all week. 4.20pm WST Sunday should be perfect for footy. West Coast will be up for a challenge at home, but if we play as we have in the last couple of games outside of that first quarter vs Carlton, we should win

A loose man behind the stoppage is not a problem in the wet, most teams try and surge it forward by any means in the wet and by putting more numbers up to the stoppage you run the risk getting caught inside. Levers second half display also puts your theory to bed he was very good taking intercept marks as he does in the dry. Hot start where we were beaten at the CBDs Carlton got an unusually high number of goals from Centre clearances last night

McGovern and Kemp coming back in helped as did unaccountable Williams going out

Yes I can see the slingshot quick through the corridor movement were looking for setting up deeper than pressing up and locking it in with repeated entries as our only plan. I really like it, looking forward to 25 in a similar vein to seeing us develop our team defence in 20. But you never know we may progress quicker than expected
