Agree 100% with this, would like this to be something which separates us from a lot of other supporter groups. Be known for our class and humility towards the others. Having said that, surprisingly the oldest boy although a Pies supporter is actually quite humble towards other groups, even Freo who he absolutely despises.

Yes when he was about 12, he played up a year as a fill in against my youngest boy and was outstanding. Unfortunately he’s out for the entire season this year with stress fractures in the back

Okay continue, doing what you do, go on to game day threads saying what you think in the moment forgetting this is a quick game and embarrassing yourself it’s great for an adult

I did not say we were good But let’s not rewrite history, we were in control of that game and our inside 50 entries were putrid, not to mention our conversion. We may have won by under 3 goals, but at no stage we’re they a serious threat nor could they breakdown our defensive set up I’m well aware that we will need to lift the bar several notches on Monday, which we are well capable of doing

FFS blind hope, give it a rest. Whilst you acknowledge they have key players missing you have to focus on the negative We knew Petty was out 3 weeks ago from this game, several knew Clarrie would be pushing it to get back from a hamstring for this game. So it was a possibility he would miss. They don’t have 2 absolute guns in De Goey and Sidebottom. So on a positive that’s a good start. Elliott, Mcstay and Lupinski all coming back so I would hazard a guess they won’t risk all 3 of them. But you just need to worry about the 23 you’ve got, not those you haven’t

They have a younger brother Ben, who is the best of the 3

We did not struggle to beat Carlton, that game was never in doubt and we smashed Carlton in nearly every statistic and it was poor finishing that stopped us winning convincingly. But if it fits your narrative knock yourself out. Freo are travelling very well to if you hadn’t noticed No Oliver forces us to test other options and come later in the season when teams tag Oliver we can draw upon those options it’s a bit like when we were forced to throw McDonald forward in 2015 and Hunt getting injured in 2021 forcing us to throw Bowery in. There are positives in everything you just need to look for them

Are you ever positive, Excluding that period between September 2021 and June 2022

Will play for WA 18s this week, kicked 3 in the first half of their scratchy on the weekend

He won’t leave West Coast, he’s the next captain and set for life in his hometown

Has Olisik returned under a new username. Troll alert is going gangbusters

You’re wasting your breath, he wanted JVR out the last couple of weeks, never saw Spargo’s footy smarts, just looked at his size. Thought Michael Newton was a star, he has NFI

Premier League supporters complain the same way we do. Their game has been hijacked by corporates, all about the television money and the likes of Anfield, Emirates, Etihad and Old Trafford now are tourist meccas with long term supporters often priced out of the game

Yeah I agree both are down on where they were earlier in the season. Tough ask to play every week at this level in what effectively is their first decent stint in the senior side

You forgot Picket has NFI

They aren’t experiments they have shown enough, maybe they need tests but both of them have had impacts across their lines

I like him, can play either end, hits the contest hard and brings it to ground if he doesn’t win it

I agree with us needing to make a prelim, but lists are based on the bottom 6 in your side

Let me put it this way 2021 - Premiers 2022 - finished 2nd banged up (much to do with poor injury management) and bowed out but certainly put ourselves in contention 2023 - season a long way to go Grundy - not her before this season Salem barely fit since 2021 Lever openly mentioned he played under duress at the back end of last season Pickett - please what has he actually done over an extended period beyond show potential You said it yourself we have a list to match it with the best, that’s right match it but not dominate as others suggest. The list is good enough to have us in contention for an decent period. The group you mention as a whole is no better than Daicos x 2, Pendles, Sidebottom, De Goey, Elliott, Crisp and Moore Bont, Libby, Jones, McRae, English, Smith, Richards Neale, Andrews, Rayner, Cameron, Gunston, Mcluggage, Dunkley Boak, Wines,Aliir, Butters, Rozee, Duursma, JHF, Jackson, Darcy, Serong, Brayshaw, Young, Ryan, Fyfe, Walters, Pearce Cox I could go on about the Cats and Swans we have a top end list who all things being equal will have us around the mark with a good run, but all of those groups listed above have deficiencies on particular lines and all know how to beat each other. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t fall your way. The measure is when you need to change things up to negate what’s coming your way and we shall see what pans out

And then there’s the category that you and your ilk fit into, who said we got lucky in 2018 on the back of a good run and we’re calling for Goodwin throughout 2019 and 2020. The same group who failed to acknowledge the improvement defensively and in team first approach through the back end of 2020. The negativity and meltdowns continued through 2021 when we drew with Hawthorn, lost to GWS and failed to tag Daniel when we lost to the Dogs in our second meeting in 2021. You and your ilk conveniently like to forget your stance through that period

My post whilst in response to yours wasn’t directed towards you layzie, it was directed towards the regular game day posters who just can’t wait to vent and turn on our players in an instant

Really, don’t say things you don’t 100% mean then or are they children. Some of them must look at their game day threads and be embarrassed in hindsight. Just because others are more controlled and don’t go into meltdown doesn’t mean they dont care are less invested or settle for mediocrity they have probably just learned from years of watching that there are peaks and troughs in games and seasons. None of our players go out there and don’t try or don’t care no matter what posters think. Some are down on form, confidence and have brain fades but the comments from posters towards our players and football department are pathetic
