Prediction 2026 Best 23 Discussion
Can’t say I agree with that. I think the players outside the 23 are there for a reason. The bottom 3 or 4 could be replaced without issue but losing too many players in the 12-19 bracket is exactly what cost us in the final against GC. I don’t think our players 24-32 are all that special... -

Prediction 2026 Best 23 Discussion
Difficult to argue with that as they are our best bunch of players however I see the next bunch as the group that determine our finals chances next year: Switta, Wags, MJ, Raz, B Cox, Chapman, McVee, Amiss, Voss If a bunch of these guys step up to support the guys you mention then I think we... -

Review Rate the draft and trade period
Pick swap was poor and still feel dirty we didn’t make more from that but I liked everything else we did. McVee is a good addition and got him at a decent price. I like the drafting strategy addressing the small fwd weakness and initially thought we should also target more mids but I think... -

Ryan would get a game in every single side, his best is the type of game that helps win premierships. I hope Simpson gets some opportunities next year as I think he has some potential but if we are dropping Ryan for a 5 gamer then we are likely progressing like Carlton did this year. I hope we... -

Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2025
🤮 personally I hate it. I don’t want to see more frees paid, especially ones where I don’t even understand why they are paid. I was just whinging in the other thread about how over officiating has ruined rugby union. I guess channel 7 whinged about games over running and disrupting the... -

I simply can’t stand Union, played a bit and understand the rules but it has been ruined by officiating and kicking the ball out of play. Went to the Bledisloe at Optus and the first half was the worst display of “sport” I’ve ever seen. It was basically the ref just giving out penalties. Even... -

WC’s worst period looks like 2018-20 where they have played a total of 618 games but still have Kelly, Edwards and Williams on their list. Our 2013-15 cohort have played 603 games with only Pearce remaining. Unfortunately I don’t think the skipper can get us over the line on this one. Solid... -

That’s definitely part of it but our offseason antics during the 2013-15 as far as games played are historically bad for a 3 year period (if a stat like that was ever to mean anything). Our 2010-12 isn’t actually that bad. Pretty sure there’s only one team who has had a worse 3 year offseason... -

Here’s an absolutely useless random fact that I could tell to other people and receive some very blank stares. The last player Freo drafted/traded to play 200 games for us was, Nat Fyfe, taken way back in 2009. It’s currently the longest stretch of any team not to produce a 200 game player... -

Pearce missed 8 games this year. We went 8-0 in the games he missed. McDonald showed he is decent depth and 3 young guys still developing. Nothing is pointing to alarm bells for kpds. -

That’s a positive at least. I’m guessing Brodie’s exit offsets McVee’s addition or thereabouts. -

Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2025
Honestly don’t agree with this. Ross is doing what he always does in getting a mature team together but these days it is more sustainable with FA for big clubs. Their additions make them a much better team in 2026 pushing mostly younger guys out of the B23. Those younger guys will now form a... -

Agreed, our starting line up is good. For depth there’s Duds, Banfield spent most of his career as a pressure fwd, Simpson may struggle for time in the backline so may get more opportunities fwd and that’s before the draft and SSP. Best available for the first pick but don’t mind a slight bias... -

I wouldn’t mind some of the delisted AFL small fwds to be given a train on shot for a spot on the list. Lachlan Murphy, Jed McEntee, Lloyd Johnston, Darcy Craven etc. their fitness base should be there and should be able to play a pressure fwd role. Also think our mids need to rotate fwd more. -

I’m not sure Wallsy’s drafting is all that great after pick 40. Aside from Tracey in the COVID affected ‘20 draft his success rate is pretty ordinary. Walker, Western, Tracey, Benning, Worner, Emmett, Knobel, Wagner, Reidy, Murphy, Delean, Jones, Carr, Riddle. Treacy and a couple of borderline... -

Not sure I follow. I get the knocks on Freddy but he kicked 16 goals in our 11 games against the top 9 sides and 14 goals in 13 games against the rest. If anything he’s been better against the top sides than the bottom ones. -

2026 Rugby Internationals
Urgh that first half of Wallabies vs ABs was worst display of “sport” I have watched in a long time. It was literally just the refs paying penalties. I think every point scored was the result of a penalty or not rewarded due to a penalty. Second half was better, despite the AB’s getting on...- Words: 98

Agree with this. We likely throw in R4, F4 or swap pick 48 with 55. Are there any examples where a player of this level has gone for a 1st round pick? Even our own trades of players at this level have been R2’s with random sweeteners. JOM, Aish, Clark all had achieved more or rated higher... -

Traded Judd McVee [traded to Fremantle for pick #23]
Surely our 2nd gets it done with a random sweetener like #65, F4 or swap of picks 47 and 54 thrown in to muddy the waters. Definitely a decent player but not an A-grade mid or fwd. Doesn’t seem to be any examples of a similar type going for a 1st.- Words: 53

And most of our supporters claim we have the best list in the league. It’s obvious we don’t have the depth of the best sides plus you are forgetting Dempsey and Dangerfield who are probably the best of Geelongs bunch. Freddy is probably our 4th best small fwd and Switta didn’t play 8 weeks and... -

Random stat but our club has only ever had 4 players to kick 200 career goals for us which is incredibly poor compared to the clubs that started around when we did. Part of it has been trading players away but also trying to trade in goal kickers for huge cost who (apart from Farmer) have... -

Sounds like OMac will be kept and I do like him as depth but we have too many talls and he’s out of contract vs the young KPDs who eventually need some game time.
