Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2026
Some prominent freo fans wanted to recruit this guy. Can you imagine the circus right now if we did? Ugh -

Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2026
Unfortunately this is exactly what will happen. Anyone that thinks a club of Collingwoods size are going to wallow at the foot of the ladder for several years hasn’t been paying much attention to recent trends in player movement and free agency. It’s not implausible that they will have a... -

Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2025
I’d agree with this. One of the big issues we had last year was that our ball use out of the back half was noticeably poorer than the best sides. The likes of Zorko is almost like a quarterback for Brisbane across halfback and supported by Wilmot and co. As Adam Simpson said a few times last... -

I like McVee and he’s a decent addition but one player isn’t going to solve a depth problem. One injury and we are back in the same place as last year? The truth is we are relying on some unknowns/unprovens like the new draftees or the likes of Simpson to improve, stay fit and push out some... -

I keep hearing about all this “depth” we have for a number of years now yet (A) we clearly had the worst bottom 6 players of all eight finalists last year. (B) the likes of Banfield and Worner are playing nearly every game for us - neither would get near a game for last years grand finalists... -

That’s not how footy works at AFL level. In that scenario, we would put Young or someone at HBF and play Neale on ball. Could put Brayshaw rotating on a wing and drop the likes of NOD. Lots of options and combinations. Plenty of examples of top end mids moving to half back or half forward... -

lol at People thinking we don’t need Lachie Neale anymore, meanwhile Bailey Banfield played 20 bloody games for us (including a final) the season just past 💁 -

He has stood up for Palestine and spoke out about the genocide over there when it appears that nearly every other person in this country with any influence or public profile, both in politics and beyond, has been bought and paid for by the Zionist lobby. Deserves massive credit for that. -

List Mgmt. 2026 Young Talent Time
Agreed. Said on here during the year that there hasn’t been a consensus A-grader drafted from WA since Chad Warner at pick 37 in 2019. It’s 2026 now. Dan Curtin is probably the best in that time since then and that’s based off maybe 8 weeks of good footy in 2025, so he’s got quite a bit to... -

List Mgmt. 2026 Young Talent Time
Fox footy paid extra to the AFL to get exclusive Saturday games remember. The AFL couldn’t resist the extra cash, even though fans didn’t like having no FTA footy on Saturdays anymore. I’d love to see a graph of indexation of AFL executive wages over the last 20 years or so.id say they are... -

I agree the decision should purely be a football one unless there are players at the club that have major moral objections (which there shouldn’t be). I swear it’s not enough for some to see freo win a flag - it must also be with 23 guys that are morally superior and more virtuous than all... -

Football wise I think Neale would be a good addition. His last game he racked up 18 disposals in half a game in the grand final despite being injured. Not many of our current list are proven at the level Neale is at. He’s 32 about to turn 33. This issue for me is will he still be the same high... -

Prediction 2026 Best 23 Discussion
I’m a fan of Switta when he’s on form and had a spell of games behind him to build momentum. He’s very effective when he’s had a run of games but that the issue - you just can’t rely on him to be available for the biggest games. Availability is the most important ability of all as they say... -

Prediction 2026 Best 23 Discussion
I never said that. In fact I’m not sure he’s much chop at all. That’s actually my point though - here’s a fringe VFL player and we couldn’t even convince him to move to Perth despite his brother being a massive part of our team. Basically if there is no Western Australian on the move - we might... -

Prediction 2026 Best 23 Discussion
My view is that none of those players you mentioned are good enough to play in a flag winning side. So far, the best those 3 have done is week one of finals (and they were pretty damningly exposed in that) so they have it all to prove still. I agree McVee is a fine pickup but I’d also bet...
