I think that is already in place with the NicNat AcademyYep, having 5 indigenous boys out there tonight, can’t harm our chances of luring Kelly.
Get Jetta involved in the negotiations.
Long term NN should be kept, around the club, for drafting and such things, who would say no to the big fella?
A little too much staging for free kicks by Sonny Walters in this one. Seriously, it looked like his head was on a hinge at one point, and would just snap back if contact was made to any part of his body. Not a fan of staging…
Mate i was going to post thd same suggestion in regards to the list manager roleYou make some good points and options here.
I personally think that Freo would be much better off moving Lyon on now rather than at seasons end.
With other teams shedding their main coach and maybe a couple to come its going to be very competitive for quality candidates.
So no time like the present if you are in the race for a new coach.
You also mentioned Sumich. I know it may be controversial but he might just consider the role vacated by Rawlings at WC.
Sumich is very experienced, a 2x Premiership Eagle and knows the U18 as well as anyone in the land.
It was Sumich who pleaded for a team to take on Stack last year and he called that one right.
It's just a thought. Would be interested on other opinions.
Just watched the game again, Bit perplexed by the comments re pavlich, thought he was complementing the Eagles throughout the telecast
Suma. He deserves a gig. Hope he gets it eventually.I think Pav is reasonably complementary but it comes across as though the teeth are somewhat gritted as it occurs.
I find it's more the apologism for Freo that shows where his heart lies. Hasleby is much the same on 6PR. These guys tend to make excuses or arguments for extenuating circumstances when they really should be laying the boot in a bit.
Freo have a lot of talent on their list. If Bell gets carte blanche to run a broom through the place this off season who knows. I'd be gunning for someone like Rhyce Shaw who is showing his wares at North. Fresh ideas, dynamism and ambition from a young coach. Clear out the decades of dead wood from the back rooms. Surely they could generate some buy in and reinvigorate the place.
A strong Freo is good for us. It helps us if they knock off interstate contenders when they venture to Perth. Little bro needs to pull his weight.

They do indeed, but they also still have multiple jabronies making their 22 every week, and that is always going to make winning difficult.Freo have a lot of talent on their list.
Would Sumo in any way be perceived as a threat to Simpson, in Rawlings role? While it would be great to have his nous on board, the Freo coach job could almost be seen as his destiny-not that a lot of Freo fans support that notion. But yes, that 5 yr deal for Ross?? What undercurrents went on there? But agree, he should get shunted on asap! Not only good for Freo, good for WA footy!You make some good points and options here.

Been a lot of complaints post-derby, about Eagles supporters bad behaviour during and after the game, talkback radio (not always a grounded discussion or medium) and on Freo board. The usual 'arrogance' is rolled out, along with abusive language on public transport etc. The Harry Highpants episode also perceived as arrogance and disrespect towards Freo. (I didn't see it like that, I thought it was just a 'guys prank' amongst themselves?).
We bang on about arrogance here, including myself, but it's tongue-in-cheek, self-mocking, ironic. Are the Eagles in danger again of being perceived as arrogant and hated by the general footy world and media, as we near the finals? I think Simmo does a good job of hosing this down.

Freo can't dish up an inept performance like that in Derby 50 - a home game at that - and expect any form of respect.

They say lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place, but I guess thunder does.I liked the quick burst of Thunderstruck after the Dockers first goal.
Then it happened again in the third quarter and I was all "oh yeah...I remember they do that".
The same respect freo supporters showed their own team by flooding out the gates so early?Been a lot of complaints post-derby, about Eagles supporters bad behaviour during and after the game, talkback radio (not always a grounded discussion or medium) and on Freo board.

My grandfather always said a team is only as good as the bottom 5 players. The good teams never have a weak link. All it takes for a player to be good, if nothing else, is a determination to run hard and make a contest.18 teams, salary caps. Every side hasjabronies"role players" in the 22.
It's just that RTB coaches like that under 12's coach desperately trying to vicariously win that flag - by trying as much as possible to not let the weaker kids touch the footy and make sure they stay out of the gun players way.
If your bottom 6 or 7 players buy into their role and feel like they are an integral part of what is driving the team success you start to play some high standard footy.
You know what would be delicious?
Peter Bell announcing in his next press conference that Lyon will be retiring effective immediately. Without having spoken to Lyon beforehand of course...
