Coach Justin Longmuir Pt 2
In reference to my previous post in this thread; J-Lo needs to win 15 regular season matches and 1 final to match Connolly's last full season Connolly didn't survive 2007 with a 6 and 9 start to the season That last season pulled Connolly down from ~=53% win loss so arguably J-Lo needs an extra... -

Coach Justin Longmuir Pt 2
I could go back and look for a post from years ago explaining at the time why J-Lo's finals appearance wasn't 'ahead of expectations'. In fact it was a year later than RTB said we would be in finals contention. I get that there was a desire to change from RTB given the record of the preceding... -

Preview 2025 Best 22 Discussion
Stick with me for a minute. IMHO the best win all season was the win in round 16 against the Swans. Cox and Walters came in the following week for Walker and Davies as we thumped the Tigs. That token win of the season and for me is a bad indicator of team performance given where the Tigs... -

Game Day 2024 Trade Period - Lian Yu - that liminal space between trade and draft.
Well, when you put it like that… Our draft team nailed that year. Way to thread the needle. Back them to make the right decision this year. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com -

Coach Off Season changes 2024/25
Yeah it sounded like people are locked in but the announcements are waiting for appropriate timing. Wish we didn’t have to wait. But from a marketing perspective it makes sense. Woosh getting appointed is the reverse. Need him to convince supporters and trade targets they won’t be a basket... -

Game Day 2024 Trade Period - Lian Yu - that liminal space between trade and draft.
Even if we do land Bolton I still think our small forward needs are more drastic than our midfield needs. I hoping we use our first for that. Premo mids from the 2nd round are surprisingly common. So allen would be nice but I’ll take a small forward thanks. Sent from my iPhone using... -

Game Day 2024 Trade Period - Lian Yu - that liminal space between trade and draft.
Never really understood the cox hype. Never thought he was in the best 4 defenders list. That said I’m not sure why he features in this discussion. If we are thinking of trading him I would hold till needs press next year or for the Tazi draft Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com -

Training Preseason 2024
Any sighting of AB. IMHO he is the key. I know all sorts are creaming themselves over Serong being the next captain. But in 2022 when AB was the voice of the young we performed. He didn’t seem to have the same… authority this year and our midfield went backwards. Yes broady wasn’t the same... -

Autopsy Welcome to Freo Liam Henry – Fremantle’s 3rd 2019 National Draft Pick [Match bid Pick #9]
Well he's gone and unless we get a round 1 pick it will have been a complete waste drafting him at 9. I was never a fan of the amount we paid to keep Henry out of Carlton's clutches. Always believed we should have let SCOS take him. Juice not worth the squeeze. -

List Mgmt. 2023 List Management thread
The question is really "Is the juice worth the squeeze" At this point in time it looks like we were well and truly rogered by Melbourne. Yes I wanted Jackson but based on current ladder position he cost, picks 6, 13 and 22. Ouch. -

Prediction Changes: Round 5 Vs Gold Coast Suns + Pre-match discussion.
Watching the boys this season in the first few games it seams that someone ripped the heart of them over the pre season. Even in the pre season matches there was none of the bounce and excitement there was in previous years. Game is won in the heart before it is played. We have the talent...
