Have to agree. I think he has the most potential out of the lot based on the vids. Build, speed, kicking. Most importantly looks like he plays with a bit of fire in the belly and backs himself. Not the shy type. Similar to Luke Ryan in that sense.

Would have thought Hawthorn's request for fixture preferences would have ended with games in Tassie. What a funny game we play when we are told that the GF must be played at the MCG, then a tenant of the MCG is allowed to sell their home MCG games to Tasmania, which then gets made up for by...

A big part of the reason the showdowns are so epic is the crowd. They create the atmosphere. Moving the game to the MCG where 10 Victorians will go watch with 50 South Australians who can afford the air fare will sterilise it. Leave it alone. The showdowns have taken over from the Hawks-Cats...

I recognise the letters but the words have me stumped....

I dislike Embley as much as the next sane person but he did you a favour. What the hell were you doing at a Manson concert? Were the Wiggles sold out?

So you're/were ..... Karen?

Finally, some rationale. Finals has to be a minimum next year. Get a good game plan in place, let the old heads lead then watch the youguns follow and play like seasoned professionals. For all those banging on about our midfield woes, lets remember Redden, Sheed and Cripps are walking around...

I have been hanging out with a lot of ex-wives. Which one is yours? I can't shake this feeling we will be watching the same b-grade movie next year, just with a better cast. We need a new plot.

No! Mundy needs to go back to the middle. Easily the best user and disposer of the ball we have in our team. In and under, winner of the ball. Will also teach Brayshaw what's required to play that position. Now that we have a forward target I want to see Mundy "lacing it out" on Hogan's...

You've just answered it: game plan. The last 3 flags haven't been won by the best lists. The days of needing a Judd, Cousins, Kerr midfield and winning on individual talent alone are gone. Geelong had the best list this year for mine and only just managed to scrape into finals. Amazing how...

You must be a real stayer in bed.

Mate, a very average midfield just won the flag. At the start of the year they were being lambasted for having no quality or depth in the midfield (remember the fall-out when we beat them in the pre-season comp?). Then they went on to win without Gaff, NN and Sheppard. Richmond won the year...

Haha fair enough. I want to believe but the last 3 years have killed that. Not negative, just reserved and realistic.

I remember how excited we all got with the news McCarthy was coming to us. I think we should keep a lid on it and reserve judgement until mid next season. Conca wasn't setting the world on fire at the Tiges. Lobb has the potential to be another McCarthy if his role is changed. Hogan we...

On Nisbett: This bloke has to be the epitome of arrogance. "I don't believe in homesickness as an excuse. It's just rubbish. However, I believe Tim Kelly is genuinely home sick". In other words any WA player requesting a trade to the Eagles is legit and the players we pick up are not...

Scully and Shiel deals confirm we paid overs for Lobb

Surely Sheridan and/or Sutcliffe are involved in any Colyer deal. Need to disguise the salary dump (ie Essendon give us Colyer and a 2nd - 3rd pick) with players we are just going to delist at season's end.

No need. B Hill filling the role nicely....

Each to his own but Hall's output over the past 2 seasons has been spiralling downward and I wouldn't judge him on that. Had a pretty good year 3 years ago I think it was. New environment, new coach, maybe able to get the best out of him.

Can't help but feel Aaron Hall to the Roos for a pick in the 60s is the steal of the draft. Would have been a perfect replacement for Neale. Had a couple of quiet years but I reckon the Gold Coast club environment had a lot to do with that. Nice tall, quick midfielder who can play in and...

C'mon Freo. Walk away. Keep the picks this year and get Hogan for much less next year. It is not like we will be contending next year and we need him. Gives us time to see how bad the foot is. Don't let the pressure of another shite year combined with an Eagles premiership force us into...

Anyone else get the feeling that Lobb will have about the same impact as McCarthy has had to date? I hope we don't pay overs for him.

Yes. A good chance the Bennell issue has nothing to do with Neale (which is the only dot the eastern state media can join). Very plausible we are freeing up spot/$$ for Lobb and/or Hogan.

They won the GF without Natanui, Gaff and Sheppard, and quiet games from Yeo, Darling, Rioli, Ryan etc. There were no real stand-outs. Shuey getting the Norm Smith baffled me. The only players I would say had decent games for them in the big one was McGovern Hurn and Kennedy. Game plan says...

Yep. Fix the game plan, fix the skills and all of sudden issues like base location, monikers, colours, club song, bad vibes from members who want a Fremantle exclusive club (as a poster above implied) will all magically disappear as it did for us in 2012, (however our skills back then were...

The OP reminds me of the time George Grjlusich (sp?) of all people, said on radio circa early 2000s, in front of a panel of other grown men (the majority who agreed with him), that the reason for our poor performances from inception was because of our anchor moniker. Couldn't believe what I was...

Cue Billy Connolly: "If you give the ball to me... I'll give it to him. Then he can give it to him, who can then give it to..... Hey Alec? Do you want the ball? Yeah?... then he can give it to Alec". If only we could trade for game plans...

Not sure how anyone can defend Lyon after that. When you lose by that much to a side as average as the Cats are this year there are some serious problems. It is not the result but the margin. Lyon advocates who claim the list is crap or point to the fact that we are losing by less margins...

Invaluable in his prime and for mine easily gets a spot in the back line of Freo's best ever team. Loved the way he went about it and for all the fapping over Selwood and Hodge being fearless and tough this bloke was just as tough but did not get the media attention for it. The diving backward...

Just saw the Gaff statement after the hearing. He looked remorseful enough. But I still don't buy the sick to the stomach thing immediately after the incident. If he truly did mean to get him in the chest and accidentally got him in the face, then someone of his character, which I would have...
