Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2025

Woewodin?

Tom Mitchell's brownlow is the reason everyone should assume nobody of influence in Victoria watches Freo games because one year Neale breaks the league record for disposals and they make up reasons why it's a non issue, then the next year Mitchell does it and it's part of the justification for a Brownlow bloody medal.

Liberatore (senior) won one for tackling

100% my point. Then Neale goes to Brisbane, gets AA in his first season. He has never had a statistically better season at any time in Brisbane than he did at Freo, yet 4 x AA and 2 x Brownlows in his six years there, compared to nada in his seven years here. Now I know stats don’t ever tell the whole story, but there’s definitely something here.

Don't need to assume, it's fact. The amount of times I've heard commentary about the mysterious Freo player called "Corey Worner"

Breaking news.

The league is crooked.

Breaking news. Forgot the sarcasm emoji on that last sentence

 

[2big2strom]

Remember that time someone called the Antonios sisters?

 

[oldgoat]

Yes
Was happy to see the balance of power shifted back to the contract arrangement

In saying that I’m glad we got Bolton and Jackson over the line when we did

So...that's "player power", when it works for us,
old fashioned "master and servant" when...it works for us?

 

[vidwhal]

We'll see how he fits into the Saints method. Hes definitely not a bad player though. Pick 7 is a high price but the Saints knew what they wanted and went and got it.

They're just wanting to build their running power just like we were.

West Coast’s calendar blunder spotted by eagle-eyed fans

West Coast’s official 2026 wall calendar may need a re-print.

At this stage you think they'd anticipate the problem and just hold off until trade period is done.

I assume they are releasing another Calendar with 12 pages of Harley Reid. They just needed to get through trade week first.

 

[DragoDelph]

The hawks calendar the year he came over, had JOM, Gunston and Mitchell on the cover. All left for that season.

[PLAYERCARD]Alex Sexton[/PLAYERCARD] talking to West Coast. I seem to recall he always used to play really well against us for Gold Coast.

Johannisen should have been at Freo

Sad end to his career?

He's 32. Done way better than most

 

[Quay Club]

He's 32. Done way better than most

Less than 5% of players reach over 200 games so he has done well.

Will probably end up at the Eagles to bolster their WAFL team with their 4 extra rookies allowed.

 

[FreoGirl]

he deserved a farewell game and to be chaired off

Happy Alex Sexton Round everybody!

2010 was not our best performance in the draft. Did end up with Tendai and Barlow to add some respectability.

Mzungu and Barlow were added to the clubs list in different seasons.

Barlow's first season was 2010 so he was drafted in 2009.

 

[Demons09]

Frederick Brayshaw signed on with Perth if he’s got the same work rate as his cousins should be a good get only 18 though.

He’s open to a new club.

JJ to Freo is back on the menu

Would make as much sense as Walls other moves this period

 

[Purple_Turtle]

Will Phillip delisted by North. Horrible draft in hindsight; out of the top 10 seems only like Thilthorpe, Perkins and Campbell have really established themselves.

Some bad luck or tough competition for McDonald, Cox and Reid. And the rest have either played up badly or didn't make the grade.
