WAFL Colts Grand Final Sunday 12.10pm BD Perth time some good players on show for this year and next Claremont Daniel Curtin - enough been said about him, with seniors knocked out he returns to the colts Joe Fonti - quick deck and wide ground will suit him, running half back/wing possesses speed, but it’s the lateral movement and acceleration over first 5m which may see him taken with late pick Zane Zakostelsky - athletic big man watch his leap and size. Fairly late to the game and far but think clubs will look at him as key sevens I’ve project Sam Van Rooyen- 2 good finals games and finished the season strongly. Good athlete and when he’s on he’s on. Confidence player who has threatened to grab games by the scruff of the neck of late 2024 eligible Austin Van Der Struyf - half back wing, elite kicking skills awareness and decision maker Cody Angove - small forward with pace works high up the ground and possesses ability to move through traffic with quick feet and lateral movement Hamish Davis - forward with good acceleration and tank to find space and make repeat leads. Kicking needs work but topped goal kickers in the PSA and IMO could develop into a high half forward link player with his endurance Perth Aidan O’Driscoll - great tank, speed, awareness and decision making. Foot skills are very good and impacts the scoreboard Jake Watson- half back flanker who is good mark for his size and reads the play really well. Sets up much of their rebound with intercepts and decision making Coen Livingston- not sure if he’ll play as he’s under an injury cloud. Big strong forward/ruck but see his strength as forward. Not athletic but good kick for a tall Elijah Scoble - tall intercept defender who reads play well and also deceptively strong in contest. Probably a 3rd tall option at the next level Oscar Hine-Baston - hard running defender with clean ground ball skills and penetrating kick. Good athlete and likes to take the game on. Very much and Adam Saad type player Kalib Dempster-Park - dark horse draft chance. Midfielder who has had really strong season. Hard runner who wins the contest but gut runs to find space and gets involved in transition. Disposal okay but just knows how to find the footy 2024 eligible Cooper Moore - small mid/forward . Good decision maker with good foot skills who can also play through the middle and make an impact. Cool head who is cool in traffic and doesn’t panic with ball in hand. Size will be the question mark but has a lot of tools

A grade is a bit of a reach for 22 players it’s a term thrown around too often to describe players. There’s no harm building a list with hard working competitive B graders who play 200+ games and having four to half a dozen A graders to ice the cake. Hardeman is a great worker, runner and foot skills are pretty good but can’t ever see him being A grade

Love posters who we never here from until things go South List howlers - give me a spell, Brown came for 3 years would likely have gone elsewhere if we offered 2. Managed perfectly in our premiership year Tmac been a great servant to the club, but time and injuries have taken their toll Let’s be honest the way they straightened us up through the back end of 21, we don’t win it without them

Thanks mate, appreciated

You’re not half as confused as Swyl is, some choose to not think logically when they are told a rumour. He’s now under the pump because of what occurs in the last minute. Got to laugh

Some don’t get that and most of them wanted him sacked in 2020 and after the GWS loss/Hawthorn draw in 2021. FCS we have one usual suspect who wants an EPL style sacking system across the AFL, that would include Hardwick , Bomber Thompson getting the boot and the Cats and Tigers resetting to miss out on dynasty’s

Sweet Jesus, you’ve posted some tripe over the years but this is right up there On a positive note you can wallow in self pity again over the off season I implore you to read your posts over season 2019 and 2020 and then read your post again But then again the rest of us just love accepting mediocrity

Do you have any link to watch a replay

I’ve watched your criticism of Sparrow all year, which I’ve thought was over the top and unwarranted. Shown enough glimpses over the last 18 months. He’s going to be a good midfielder and have thought so for a while. In 12 months time Trac needs to be playing more time forward and Sparrow starting mid

I thought it was but I watched the replay and Saad pulls up and the ball hit his leg, it was the correct decision

The goal umpire signalled a goal straight away equals he believes it was a goal

6. May 5. Nibbler 4. Lever 3. Spargo 2. Sparrow 1. Mcvee

Grundy played the last game

Brisbane played a team last week who can’t defend, we’d have done better than the Blues next week like us in 2018 mentally and physically they will be drained but we shot ourselves in the foot

Yeah it’s up there with Geelong at the Cattery in 2011 and the Bombers at the G in 2013. FFS Talk about overreacting

The definition of laziness is a)We lost this at selection b) AFL is corrupt and cost us the game c) Goodwin cost us the game a) Selection was okay, started fast and got them on the back foot, they settled and we changed it up went small and mobile in F50 and had our chances b) Jumper punch turnover 10m out, Gawn touched Oliver’s shot on goal, which was going through c) See a) and also Goodwin didn’t miss some easy set shots Oliver poor, Bowey really didn’t go hard enough at the footy which ended in Motlops goal. And as for “we are the laughingstock of the AFL” ffs are you under 12, we’ve been there and I remember it

Nah dumb act

There’s a time to coach with kid gloves and there’s a time to rip into players. Pickett poor effort on a few occasions and leaves the ground to bump when there was no need. Time to tear strips off him, let the team down and will miss 1 game minimum. Toughness is putting your head over the footy, not what you did there

Watch it again and just before the ball comes in Tmac gets body on Weitering and prevents him getting to the contest

Here we go someone always has to bring logic to the Goody argument. Got it wrong with our conditioning and player rest last year Learned from it, it would appear based on the way we were coming towards the end of the home and away season but the Petty and Melksham injuries have hurt big time

Votes 15 - Christian Petracca, Melbourne 10 - Bayley Fritsch, Melbourne 3 - Clayton Oliver, Melbourne 1 - Christian Salem, Melbourne 1 - Caleb Daniel, Western Bulldogs

Ingerson as 3rd tall defender, Yze, Wiz in F50 and TJ’s delivery just wow

But that doesn’t fit the “woe is us”, the “AFL cleared Maynard, because they want Collingwood to win the flag”, agendas. This comes from people who I can’t believe actually hold down jobs. The grand final will sell out no matter who gets through and the corporate packages are already paid for The PF’s are all set for very large hosting bias in crowd support with interstate teams up against it. Imagine the hype and narrative around a Collingwood vs Melbourne GF and a rematch in this year’s finals series. Chance for the Dees to avenge the QF loss What reception will the Dees players give Maynard Will Melbourne’s midfield regroup after lowering their colours when the game was on the line in week 1 of the finals Can Collingwood win the flag 2 traditional rivals The talk around Carlton vs Collingwood GF in the media is a romanticism from our youth when these two clubs played in many memorable matches, it is nothing more

Cheers for your efforts Hibbo, great recruit who played the game in a way I loved No nonsense, team first and reliable never leaving anything out there. Lets hope there’s a few more AFL wins to go and all the best to you and your family in the next chapter

I think his best position is as a forward, yes he played CHB at Colts and state level but IMO CHF is where he has the most scope. We need to understand how much the Melksham and Petty injuries have hurt us. Mcadam obviously being targeted for Melksham’s roll and Petty will be back. We’ve got some defenders coming through and I’d like to see us boost the midfield/rotation stocks in order for Trac to play a lot more time forward
