As a GWS (& North member) I can understand GWS losing Shiel and Lobb due to the salary cap squeeze but it will be very disappointing if Scully goes too - I think it is imperative to keep Scully, such a good runner, leader by example and important player - sets the standard of hard work along...
Years ago I wasn’t a fan of Maher but think he’s pretty good these days and am also happy that he’s doing well in the ratings.
Good work by Hutchy overall with the ratings results.
100% respect to Bucks today - a gracious loser and class act with how he talked to the cheer squad before the game and to the runner afterwards. Him and the club gave 100% today - like the Pies did in 2002 - Malthouse is very proud of that team coming 2nd and Bucks should be today.
General synopsis here looks like most people believe Carlton bringing Walls back to the club is a positive move and I tend to agree. Stay on track with current plan with Walls as the addition as a consultant/sounding board for Bolton.
Mixed bag as a coach - actually did well at Fitzroy, Carlton flag then failed, Brisbane really tough but did well to improve them each year - Richmond major fail.
A lot of experience though.
Personally I think it would be a great move to have Walls in this role - Walls’ has hard views. I can see if Bolton is going to pick 2 list cloggers for the next game Walls would have the guts to question this- there are many such examples.
Fair point, in due course. I just believe that West Coast in terms of size is similar to Richmond and Collingwood - so for finals, derbies and big games 80,000 would be ideal.
GO EAGLES IN THE GF!
Optus Stadium is obviously a brilliant stadium however I think the capacity should be increased to 80,000 ASAP.
I believe the stadium was built to be able to add 1 more level to increase the capacity however I stand to be corrected.
West Coast need an 80,000 plus stadium...

I think only 1 grand final to keep it as 1 special day.
I would be happy with the higher ranked team getting a home city final but only if the stadium holds 80,000 plus - so Optus Stadium would have to be increased from 60,000 to 80,000 to hold it if it was this week for example.
On channel 7 I think JB is the best caller, BT is 50% good and 50% annoying, Carey the best special comments and I don’t mind Richo as the boundary rider.
I would like Tim Lane recruited to 7 - I think Bruce is almost at the time he should look to retire before he goes too silly with his odd...
I watch the front bar instead of the footy show & haven’t watched the footy show for 3 years but Sam deserves credit for his footy show career - successful show but is well past it’s best.
Personally I like the Grant Thomas podcast with Newman & Sheahan though.
Could not disagree more with you re: Balme, he has great relationships with the various stakeholders and can be the frontman that allows Hardwick to concentrate on his role of coaching.
It can’t be denied that Balme is highly regarded in the industry.
Had a very good year in the VFL - had 70 hit outs several times. Goldstein had a good year so hard to play 2 ruckmen, Preuss is a ready made AFL ruckman.
Think GWS did well to make the semi’s in 2018 & a competitive loss tonight.
I’m a big Brayden Preuss fan but think GWS should target him from North to be number 1 ruckman.
