  1. Come on - that's nonsense. Houston backed out on us because we were is disarray.
  2. Fully agree. He's been living on the GF performance ever since. Has been poor since mid 2024. Lazy, sloppy skills by hand & foot & selfish ie rarely gives off to players in better position.

    Who is Kentland ? Is he related to McAdams ?
  4. Ironic that you should mention Peter Bell because early on in Freos entry they traded away Jeff Farmer, Mathew Lloyd & Scott Lucas as well as letting Andrew McLeod slip through their fingers. Then they let Bell go after a handful of games & he became a champion at North. Almost as poor trading as Footscray in the 1970's.
  5. Nothing to do with "unlucky". They are obsessed with luring back high profile West Australians & it often blows up in their face or is poor value for $$ ie Des Headland, Harley Bennell, Jesse Hogan & the Col Sylvia trade was also a disaster
  6. If Freo had been smarter they would have kept Lloyd Meek instead of trading for Jackson. Ditto trading for Hogan & hanging on to Lachie Neale might have been an idea.
  7. Freo & to a lesser degree have got a terrible history of overpaying for returning WA players, Harley Bennell, Hogan, Tim Kelly which invariably blows up in their face.
  8. Agree you ARE waaaay off target. Spargo is nowhere near a great player. He is a good team man & role player. Culley's disposal is barely at AFL level, just turns it over too much. So far Sharp has shown little. He has pace but seems timid & has average skills - about on par with Oskar Baker.
  9. Politicians now feel the need to comment about everything - Taylor Swift, drinking water to stay hydrated, swimming between the flags, checking on granny during hot weather and every high profile crime event. I really don't know how humanity survived without their gratuitous advice. She should shut her cake hole about most things & worry about paying off the debt.
  10. I posted this 5 years ago & yet his kicking for goal is no better. It's quiet disgraceful that he can't kick a goal from 20 m out.
  11. This was appropriately dealt with by the Club & the AFL in the pre season and most people were ok with it. Surprised you would support a grubby politician who sticks their nose in a court matter because they think they can get political benefit out of it. I thought lynch mobs went out of favour in the 1930's but some Demonlanders sound like they want them back.
  12. That's the spirit. Build more jails & put everyone in jail. Especially any young thugs. Just follow the US system. What could go wrong ?

    You must be kidding. Fullerton did very little and was beaten at 2 ruck contests by Oscar McD. He gets another chance but really showed nothing.
  14. I'm 68 years old & haven't kicked a footy in 10 years yet I would back myself against Max in taking 10 set shots for goal 20m out at 45 deg.
  15. Multiple AA's yet still can't be relied on 20 metres out aaand still shanks them left. At least he's consistent.
