Also Matthew Lloyd. The Dockers pinched Todd Ridley from the Bombers for their initial squad as part of their deal to enter the league. Essendon as compensation got to pick a 16yr old and effectively pre-list them. There is no guarantee that the Dockers would’ve drafted Lloyd if he was...
To defend these two shudders they have pretty much always seeded the top 4 teams of recent history (I.e. last few weeks) I believe we were in Wheatley’s top 4 last week after betting the Dees. It’s pretty much always been a good vibes top 4 and it’s no surprise to see a team that didn’t play...
The problem with Walter’s is we don’t have great options to replace him. We could bring in:
Erasmus, meaning either him or someone else has to play a role that’s not their best
Delean, a forward who can kick goals at WAFL level but doesn’t have a lot else (for now)
Simpson who looks great...
Stewart-Haas racing shutting down in NASCAR. I’m sure the financials are different for an F1 team but it’s probably not a great sign

After being dropped by Queensland, and the death of his brother, Joe Burns has made the switch to play for Italy, to attempt to qualify for their first World Cup.
He is also wearing the number 85 as a tribute to his late brother.
Do people think this should happen more? Meaning that those...
Yep, video of waves crashing on a boats hull, weakened lights, music and Warfie Time up on the screen. Was pretty cool if only for the fact I’ve gone to about 10 or so games at Optus and never seen it before.
King shits out some more analysis. Doesn’t even pretend it’s not personal and explicitly brings up JL’s criticism of the media last week. King goes “Who is going to tell the emperor he has no clothes?” in regards to who is going to tell JL his game plan won’t work in finals. Unfortunately King...
“The important thing king said was that chip it around in the back line thing does not work in big finals, that is jl's whole coaching philosophy.”
My problem with Kings segment isn’t really his opinion, but that he fails to justify it in any way. He provides no evidence for that quote to be...
I reckon in 3-4 minute piece on the Dockers, Kingy brought up 4 stats which already isn’t great. But what makes it worse is that they were the most meaningless stats you will ever see. Cue rant/takedown.
We are currently 5th in uncontested marks. The teams around us are West Coast (I think...
Age, experience, losing players every year, us not committing to a full rebuild properly, any number of other factors.
I’m not trying to argue JL is perfect. Who knows where he really sits but coaching doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Some legendary coaches may have been blessed with stacked teams...
Hardwick made finals in his 4th, 5th and 6th year before missing in his 7th (2016). However he played three finals in those years before 2016 and lost all 3 of them. In two of those games, his team was the higher team on the ladder (5th plays 8th). If we make finals this year, JL will have...
The touch the Quaynor himself said wasn’t a touch after the game? I was at the game, and it wasn’t a convincing appeal just sort of the token one all defenders do when they get near it. Props to him for admitting he didn’t touch if afterwards.
Jackson replaces Voss, Darcy replaces Jackson. Emmet replaces Frederick.
The only real change is Wagner as sub but I believe he did play forward for a little bit so he’s basically just a versatile sub
Luke Hodge’s discussion of Darcy V Jackson on SEN is a tale of two halves. He shows the possessions when Jackson plays with Darcy vs the games without and shows the drop off when Darcy is in the team. This is a valid argument only slightly damaged by the sample size of both playing this season...
Tbf we’ve had like 45 shots. If you got at an average of 50% accuracy (22.23) and split it in two that’s an average of 78 points a game. I think of First Crack last night, we’re in the top 5 in the league for shots taken. You generally don’t drops players for accuracy as long as they’re getting...
Pretty awful game. But we did win and we are at least now able to generate enough scoring shots to win games (against a genuine contender in the Swans and on the road against an admittedly not good Saints). Just need better finishing (and some big changes to our smalls).
It’s worth pointing out that many real laws operate on a what if basis. For instance, speeding and driving under the influence are not definitively wrong (like hitting someone or stealing). Rather it has been determined that under those circumstances, the potential to injure yourself and others...
I’ve seen a few people trying to pretend that the Hird hug and the grab on the weekend are the same and I think it’s ridiculous.
In Hird’s case, he initiates contact and the fan (who could’ve simply not hugged him). This incident sets no precedent and does not undermine the (necessary in some...
I mean it has all of the club colours across 30 years and contains a sort of anchor. Not sure how much more Fremantle you could make it short of just plastering the word all over the jumper.
