Pennant St Dee

It’s ironic, those who read into his interview with Garry and Tim, he was leaving for midfield time heard what they wanted to hear. I said at the time I wasn’t worried by the interview, he was open and honest. Stated in the interview he was loving his time in the backline. Throughout his appearances in the media he’s been open and honest, calling out teammates and the overall performance, imploring the team first approach and do your job buy in needed for us to be there late in September. He has shown over several years he’s a team first player and great clubman, but still he was doubted. But those who jumped to conclusions, won’t learn the player/coach name and thread title will change but the responses will remain the same

No I heard it live and wasn’t concerned. He was honest about himself, what he has to weigh up for this decision and also open and honest about where the team is currently at and where we need to get to in terms of being in a position to challenge this year

Don’t argue with an [censored]

This is like the Demonlanders potting Troy Chaplin as a poor defensive coach

Haselby played much better footy than Jon Ralph. He does have decent info from Freo

At the Dees or the café for 2 years

No not you Redleg, read the Clayton Oliver injury thread, I love the Dees and Clarrie but some of the comments are embarrassing from so called watchers of footy

In person or electronically

Almost as delusional as those expecting Selwood to get suspended for a kicking in danger

Seriously, that’s ridiculous I love Jacko, but he’s replaceable we don’t have to go like for like, rejig and plan slightly and make the most with our trade

He's a big lump of a kid, but not athletic. He dominates at Colts level, but he's going to come up against bigger and more athletic opponents at the next level. In an elite program he may trim down and improve his endurance/athleticism, but a little bit of waiting forhim to flourish. Will be an interesting watch

We were Cerra’s club of choice, but a trade could not be facilitated. All of a sudden Carlton we’re his club of choice

Absolutely, they will be doing a lot of number crunching and pre planning of future players coming through. They have plenty of young talent coming up for contract renewals in the next few years and will also be aware that Darcy and Meek will be a good pair moving forward. They know Jackson won’t come cheap in terms of picks and/or players so will be a fine balance on their part.

You do realise most of the side from the 90s came through their zone don’t you. The backbone and core of that side came through u19s under Pagan. Nothing to do with attracting players, Dean Laidley couldn’t get a regular game at West Coast and Peter Bell had just been delisted by the Dockers after playing 2 games

Just passing on my mail Jaded, Happy with and at the club Knows his price is rising and will continue to rise Also aware offers which are and will continue to be there from the west.

My mail is he is leaning towards staying and biggest decision relates around length of contract. The money is not an issue, he knows he will be well paid and the next contract is the big one I anticipate a 2 year extension

Rueban Ginbey from East Perth is one I understand we have an interest in. WAFL Stats say 189cm but reckon he’s now around the 192-4cm. Very versatile utility who can play across the backline and through the middle.

Brad Hardie, broke the Paul Roos signed sealed and delivered to Brisbane Lions as coach at the end of 2013

If it came from Sumich it will be 100% incorrect

Love Jacko, and would love him to stay, but if we want sustained success the conversation will be happening asking Jackson what he wants and if it’s to leave you look after #1 and get the best deal for the club moving forward Oscar Allen and a first round pick gets it done for me. #1 pick Tom Scully leaving effectively got us Hogan who got us May AA defender Frawley leaving gets us an extra first rounder seeing us nab Bradshaw and Trac I dare say Trac, Gus and May were all vitally important in us winning the flag last year. No player is bigger than the club, keep evolving and improving I have great faith in Jason Taylor making the right decisions

Really, how drunk were you when you opened it

I have the same , it nearly got opened one Good Friday when I ran dry, fortunately a neighbour came to the rescue and I stayed hydrated

Not to mention Dreamtime at the G

Best drainage, it’s built on sand, not much better drainage. No matter how heavy the rain gets at Optus it drains fairly quickly

I posted this on another thread Been a long time since I posted, work, coaching and kids sport sees very little downtime currently. I couldn’t make Sundays game at Optus as my youngest was playing community football, but I was at my oldest boys school footy on Saturday Wesley vs Trinity and Tim Lamb was also in attendance. Not a lot on show for Trinity, but I expect Wesleys captain Rueban Ginbey to move up the draft boards this year, medium defender around the 192 mark who’s already debuted for East Perth senior side. Not really big enough for a KPD, but really good third tall, hard at it, nice left foot and good intercept mark. Aidan O’Driscoll potentially for next years draft was another he may have been keeping an eye on. Had a bit to do with this boy at club level. He has good speed, poise, good foot skills and creates a lot of rebound off halfback, although Wesley play him across wing and HFF as well. He’s the younger brother of Freon Nathan and will only get better
