Most forwards are reasonably quick, have great hands and a sure set shot. If you don't mind having none of those Sandi is a dead cert. It's like when the noobs suggest McPharlin as a key forward. They haven't seen the 10 times its been tried before. He misses more than Kepler does, and has no...

If my 10 year old didn't watch that ABC show on video games, I'd need a translation. You must be 16 or so. This deal smells a bit like the Des Headland scenario. Plays well in a brilliant team. Depending on your POV, that could be a good thing or bad thing. The lad can certainly play and he...

And the odd completely coach-killing, fan-head-in-hands, brain-fade. Yes, we are all looking at you Michael Johnson. It is said that if you get up close to him, you can hear the sea inside his head.

Isn't speedy small back-man the role earmarked for Wilson-King. Also, I can't fathom the argument suggesting Spurr is supposed to be a replacement for Hayden. Surely, you just made that up. Spurr appears to be nothing other than an excellent rookie pick. Exactly what he should be And trying...

You'd think so. Mundy is named on HBF so suspect Suban may miss because Sutcliffe comes into midfield for Mundy. Sutcliffe seems one of those players that just gets better through work ethic. (If he plays well look for Yakkaman to argue that its too early to suggest at pick 71 he's not a dud...

I'm not a fan of Ross Lyon's coaching ... but he has a point here. http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sport/a/-/dockers/14095278/focus-on-freo-few-leaves-cupboard-bare-lyon/ It's a point that has been made on BF many times. How many discussions have there been about players in the draft or...

We could blame all sorts of things but we have been getting rolled in the final quarter for a long time now. Remember the Hawthorn game at the MCG last year when we were 5 goals up. Reckon I could drag out heaps of examples but should include Harvey saying at the end of 2009 it was fitness. I...

That might be age-related and/or just coincidence. Faulks certainly doesn't have a big tank. And quite a few of our Peel players are in 1st or 2nd seasons. Just a thought but don't have time to do comparison of Peel players.

He's visiting with Lady Gaga-ola.

Yeah, I'm taking the kids to that game ... so it's a motza we will lose. Sorry everyone. But we will beat Essendon this weekend.

You really think that a list manager would think twice about getting Wellingham vs Pitt's development? The first thing about AFL is ultimately you develop yourself. In Pitt's specific case, he is on a slow burn. He's 1.5 years into the system and still can't really dominate at WAFL level...

What is clear is Lyon hasn't bothered to review last season's games. Explains why he seems to underrate Silvagni and didn't know Anthony had put in some good efforts in defence. Interesting that he correctly identified Anthony as having really tried his guts out for very little return. The...

Given that the prevailing sentiment on Freo BF was that Mitch Clark wasn't worth much, it'll be interesting see to which posters thought he was a dud but now blame Bond for not getting the deal done.

All large administrations need to make work to justify themselves. That is the basis for 80% of what HR areas do.

Ballas deserves a week for out-and-out stupidity. Crozier won't be going anywhere. You don't drop a skinny kid who can win 11 contested possessions on the MCG in the rain. That's more than Broughton and Mundy. All he needed was to give himself permission to fly for a few marks. You might want to...

Didn't Pavlich come out and say he needs to lead better. 17 can rest on his/her offended laurels. The only muppet opinion I saw was the one about De Boer not being able to kick so he couldnt be captain. Shane Crawford couldn't kick either and he won a Brownlow. Same could be said for Judd.

The counter arguement to you being mentally well is posting on BF and being a long term Freo supporter. The down side as far as I am concerned is that here is a team that made the finals in 2010 and hung onto the 8 till round 16 last year. It's not the players. (And if you want to blame...

You are suffering Draft disease. This is where you think kids and yet-to-be-performers are somehow magically going transform our side. I've been on this board long enough to see the likes of Daniel Gilmour, Josh Head and many others get pumped up this way only to have them come in and look...

Can I just confirm. Nothing anyone said would change your mind would it?

A few of us were disappointed when we didn't rookie list him. Had been playing well at South Freo and has 1st class attitude. I've been critical of poor forward line structure .... then realized we have highest percentage we have had in at least 5 years. Even in 2010 we've always had trouble...

I'm lost as to the whole point of this thread. There is clearly some Gen X-Y-Z phemonena going on where they start having their senior moments before they hit their 20's and 30's. You can't even remember Saturday nights game. If you actually watched and understood the game on Sat night you...

What was left out was the Dr hadn't seen his face before the Solomon remodelling. Assignment: Both Cameron Ling and Glen Jakovich are boundary riders. How can it be that a fanta pants can be better than a legend of the game? Define and discuss.

You're all worried becaue you are worriers. Toughen up. Bloody hell, there are hopefully 27 games to go and you guys are worried about what will happen in the end. Sandi hasn't played a full season for yonks. Jonno Griffin will get his chance.

Nail. Head. Hit. I've been thinking of writing an article of how Chris Connolly pi$$ed Pav's career up the wall. We had Bell, Carr, Hasleby, Schammer as our midfield. All short and slow with questionable disposal. Then we went and blew three draft picks on Josh Carr - short, slow with...

I don't think the footy media overrates our list. Based on my 5 years or more of BF I have found these are two golden rules: 1. Most Freo BF posters are exceedingly hard on our players, expecially forwards. The only untouchables are Pavlich and Sandilands. This is out of all proportion to...

BTW, where did anyone get the idea that Mayne is a key forward. He's a medium forward in the way that Stevie Johnson, and many others are medium forwards. If you remember his debut season he was taking great marks and chasing down defenders. I remember one pearler sitting on top of Chad...

It must have been a different Ballantyne because I recall the one we drafted played as a leading forward and kicked 70 goals in a very weak side. He was quick off the mark and used to take them on the lead, not get them as a crumber.

The issue is not who is the better player but putting together a team that can win games. Harvey played both Palmer and Haselby off a half forward flank. Where did both of them win their accolades? Right at the coal face. In and under. Palmer made it clear he left because of the run he...

I just can't let the past go. Yeah it will. Reggie, I'm not sure if you noticed but when you play footy you get your possessions against the opposition. As Palmer showed on Sat night, that when played in the midfield he is pretty ahdny player.
