Should be any day along the announcements of Petracca wants out There's division between the captains Richardson is ready to walk Qnd whatever else the Soothsayers come up with

Go and watch his 2 finals matches against Geelong and Hawks last year I think he knows about finals intensity Last night would have taught him SFA Don't bomb in high and slow to the Eagles defence You need to apply pressure at the ball carrier to prevent the Eagles from playing their kicking game Essendon lack inside bulls and until they address it they won't be any good in September Don't play to many injured players

Masten is depth Kennedy almost done, there's injury issues there, struggles to get up from week to week Nic Nat as above, great last night and is a freak, but struggles to mmaintain strings of games together. He's to big to play that position long term I think their biggest asset is their coach

I'm more looking at his hard running bringing others into the game, opening up holes, creating options for quicer ball movement But I agree he aint great by foot

His work around the clearances is his biggest asset. Opponents need to expose him around the ground

South Fremantle

If Shiel shot an arrow in the air he'd miss

Yes how ridiculous they used to have a charity match in honour of him. I'll leave it there because he has passed but a tainted man in many ways

He pushed the boundaries in the off season and I thought there was another Sampi coming but after blowing off some steam he got right back into it, with some strong guidance One reason why we should never let Nev Jetta leave the club

What do you expect wallow in misery or get the holiday out of the way with family and be ready to go day 1 pre season Either way they can't win

Happy to say I got the Liam Ryan call wrong, never thought he'd put the hard yards in to play consistent footy at this level Credit to him and the hardwork put in by Phil Narkle and Ryan

Wasn't having a go Sue @McQueen @Bobby McKenzie @Ethan Tremblay can all tell you how bad the media are over here. They never say anything against the Eagles The West Australian and Channel 7 WA are absolute cheerleaders and the continued worship for Cousins, Kerr etc is an embarrassment

Thanks for your service Jade IMO been good during his time. Would have liked him to stay on, but if he's gone to the club and asked to be released due to an offer from Brady he wishes to pursue than you'd be hard pressed to say no

Not entirely correct Sue. Their behavior for years was shielded by the pro West Coast media in WA. Others stayed quiet for fear of isolation. Trevor Nesbitt was aware what was going on and brushed it all under the carpet. And he's still in charge

Not me 100% Dub born in The Coombe, all 4 Grandparents from Crumlin and the Great Grandparents are all from Thomas St and the Liberties God no I live in Perth

Hard to know, guess all interested parties would do their due diligence. We were into Jeff White very early doors, Eagles did the same with Cripps and Yeo

Yes agree Ashes is a priority NRL is neutral for me Macca with the Dragons cooked Everton in the EPL 6th at best GAA All Ireland Football replay in 2 weeks with my boys in blue going for 5 in a row, never been done before Been a Patriots fan since the 80s so been a good 30 years, but all good things come to an end

Yes The Ashes has come at the right time but still love the game of footy at all levels

Well 12 months ago the excitement was building with the MCG Elimination final vs Geelong fast approaching. Alas now we ( those who are football lovers)are neutral observers again for September. I'm certainly done with the trade everyone and blame everyone talk, so week 1 finals thread time for me Thurs Eagles vs Bombers - can't see the Eagles dropping this, dry conditions forecast and Nic Nat creating havoc around the clearances I can't see the Bombers generating enough run and carry to control the game and expose the Eagles ground level deficiencies to cause an upset. Eagles by 23pts Fri Cats vs Pies - tough choice I think this will be a great game. Both sides with big game players, but just get feeling the Pies will benefit from the break and getting a leg up with the Hawks surprisingly beating the Eagles at home, giftingthem the double chance. Grundy will potentially be the difference in the game for mine. Pies by 11pts Sat Giants vs Dogs - time for Giants to get back to being hard at the contest and exposing sides with their outside run. The week off hurt Dogs momentum and allowed the Giants to get back on track under the radar Giants by 15pts Sat Lions vs Tigers -Tigers have all the momentum coming in but, Brissy's back at home, dry day warm conditions. If they break even in the middle and limit turnovers they will win at home Just Lions by 3pts

Agreed Talk about the lunatics running the asylum.

Be a great story but we shall wait and see, East Freo had quite a young Colts side this season but that's common for WAFL clubs to build sides over a 2 to 3 year period and to play a lot of their younger squad members towards the end of the season. North Freo had a win in A Grade Elimination final last weekend and come up against CBC Freo in a derby final this week. Woey's a great bloke and great football person. He's built strong cultures wherever he's been and very professional in his approach. He's not short of job offers and think he may move on at seasons end And as others have said, time and exposure to the coaching side of the game have helped heal some wounds.

Be careful they like to complain Pathetic troll, very boring life

I'm not talking about selling the farm for him, just bringing him in to help Weids development

I'd give them pick 2 for Whitfield absolute gun and not many better ball users in the game

but true
