With Ballas out, what would I give for Liam Ryan now

Captain fantastic alias Fyfe ... what can you say? Mundy ran out of steam which sums up his fitness through the pre-season. Otherwise brilliant Brad Hill was great until legged - then had little influence When was the last time Walters missed so many close in shots? And it's not just this...

Is anyone concerned by the apparent lack of fitness by Mundy? Struggled in the 3K and again today according to reports. We have alternatives.

As hard as it seems it will give a fair indication of who really wants to play. Those, if any, who have been coasting will soon be found out.

Freo have a few loyal, long serving players who may or may not have passed their prime. That doesn't mean they don't have a lot to contribute to the club. I cannot understand why so many "supporters" have to be so critical and make derogatory comments. If our young players are to develop in...

I see that Port Adelaide gave a 1 game ban and $5000 fine to Impey and the passenger for going on a drunken driving rampage where he smashed into 4 cars, left the scene and evaded police for half a day failing to report an accident. And we want to hang Yarran because of a family argument? It...

On what I saw last year in the WAFL I would really, really like Freo to pick Liam Ryan. The kid looks to have some special skills and blistering pace. No tank at the moment but hey, what are coaches for?

Now that is what I call a highlights reel

A trip to Geraldton is not to be discounted. It's only half the distance of Melbourne to Sydney but the logistics are still the same. Still, any crumb is better than none.

It would be nice to see the squad match Fyfe's training program and intensity. Walters is one who seems to be in that group. There are some players who want to win and are prepared to do the work necessary to get the best out of themselves...and there are players who are content to be AFL...

Hi Chris How do you rate someone like Liam Ryan from Subiaco. Do you see him being drafted or as a rookie listing? The kid has some special talents.

With all the trades being done it surprises me that it has all gone quiet on Ballas. Taking the emotion out of the equation as the hawks have done, from Freo's perspective I would have thought that we need to create an opportunity for the likes of Yarran or Balic to step into. Ballas is what...

Quite frankly, what I have seen of Yarran throughout the season, and in particular in the grand final, he looks more like a solution than Kersten. Good size, good athlete, great kick for goal.

And I thought we needed more key position players? Any calls on them?

Some years ago South Africa was all the rage. If I remember correctly a number of AFL clubs were allocated 'zones' in SA to develop with the opportunity to access any talent within those zones. Given the raw talent of the black South African athletes it seemed a good opportunity for a real...

There are going to be a few interesting discussions. Now we don't know how badly affected Cam really is but have to take the issue at face value. If GWS want to play hard ball it could rebound horribly for Cam and them. If GWS come to Perth for discussions and Cam and his manager say that he...

Chris has gone from being the most reliable set shot in the AFL to perhaps the most unreliable, and it's hard to understand why. Austin Robertson is the best shot on goal I have ever seen and he has consistently offered to help Freo. I'm sure he could help Mayne but the club just do not want...

We are at a stage that to improve some of our younger players have to force their way into the team; Otherwise we stagnate and then fall backwards. That means that the likes of Weller, Blakely and Langdon (I think that maybe Crozier has missed the boat) have to be given an opportunity to play...

I think we are at a stage where it is all about brinksmanship. GWS know they are going to lose Cam to Freo next year but don't want to be made to look like they are losers. By playing hardball they feel they are sending a message to other teams. Unfortunately it is all about 'face' for them...

Hi guys As one who has just qualified for the retired old farts group and intends to give a bit back to the readers by way of joining the intrepid reporters group can someone tell me the days and training times please. I do my own gym classes on Tuesday and Thursday - not dead yet - so will have...

Only Fyfe walks on the river I'm afraid, the others have to use the grass

As many pundits have said, for us to improve it's a matter of raising the standard of our bottom four or five players. Obviously Bennell, if he has his mind on the job is a huge upgrade on say a Mayne, De Boer, Suban type but we need more. We saw glimpses from Weller, Blakely and Langdon -...

Ok, from watching on TV, which is not always the best vantage point. Gray, superb game in defence. Has an AFL body, hits the ball, opposition, fence, truck, anything coming the other way hard. Is very good in one on one situations and either wins the ball or does the Freo bottle it up thing...

From all reports Tanner Smith has had an excellent pre-season to date. As a rookie I know he can be upgraded to the main list in cases of long term injury. With Zac Dawson and Alex Pearce currently in the rehab group we are down to the bare essentials with regards to tall defenders. If the...

There is a god!

On news tonight. Congratulations.

We have been waiting on Crozier for some time now, hopefully he can deliver on his promise. What he showed on Saturday was outstanding. Looks like the kid wants to play and on that form he is demanding a game. Of interest to me was the form of Tanner Smith. I was surprised at how he has...

Yep, live in the area. Ross and family went past our house walking the dog. I've got my whiteboard ready with a few moves for the next time!!

You were almost there Stempy. Coming from Melville on North Lake Road it would have been on your right hand side just before you made the RH turn to Gateway. Can't miss it with all the leveling off and yellow sand.

It's one of the fortunate/unfortunate factors that come with being a top team. You have to have depth; and at the moment we have more depth than at an other time in our history. Griffin is a classic example, good enough to play but Sandi and Clarke are holding down their spots. If you want a...
