This guy sounds a bit like the Dawks board version of one of someone we have here

Was great today. Naysayers will point to some of his turnovers but he's far from the only one in the side coughing it up. His intercepting, contest and 1v1 work was all excellent. Pretty clear he needs more time playing together with Logue given they both like to float across contests and...

Bergman hasn’t put a foot wrong today, no way he should be dropped

We’re not going to make 4+ changes after a win lads. Goldy will come in for an injured Xerri and someone like Stevo (minimal impact yesterday) will come out for Corr/Dawson for positional needs vs. a much bigger Freo forward line Calls for Turner, Scott to be dropped are wild reading. Both...

Swear I saw him at training this morning with that bleached hair

Here's what I saw when I was down there today - overall a good vibe with everything seemingly being simplified in terms of structures and ball movement for this season. These notes were all taken live as I watched on so they're all immediate, instinctive thoughts and judgements. Have at it you...

Just wrapped up here at Arden St, got a heap of live notes to come later. No full match sim but still plenty to mention.

Cue the melts

I think it's really difficult to paint a picture of the 22 for next year, with so many unknowns around who Clarko is going to favour and the approaching cliffs of certain players. For example: As much as we all love Cunners, is he going to be the same player he was? Fingers crossed he is...

Don't know how people can complain about that. Worst forward line in the league adds two electric forwards.

Wardlaw is the most complete mid in the draft and an excellent athlete we can choose to replace - you guessed it - the complete mid who excelled athletically that we just traded to Alberton. Don't make another Selwood-type mistake and pass on him because of some injuries in his U18 season...

I loved the "Jackson Callow is one of the best prospects in the draft" call. So great that he didn't get picked up until the second round of the mid-season draft.

Will put my hand up and say that I was wrong on this one. I wrote a big post here when he got drafted at how smart a footballer he was, and how he'd use clever skills to overcome physical shortcomings at junior level. That just hasn't translated to the AFL a lot of the time so far in his career...

I can't believe people are actually reading into the colour of the hat the bloke happened to be wearing when accosted by cameras

That'd be a first
