Nickname? “Homer” or “A” (as in ‘ey?) seem the prime candidates, but I was thinking “Mini” is a possibility too.

Got a source for that? Not arguing you're wrong: far from it. I'm just trying to find some definitive wording. E.g. The CD glossary is frustratingly vague: "Inside 50: Moving the ball from the midfield into the forward zone. Excludes multiple entries within the same chain of possession." The...

Does anyone know if it's registered as an I50 if the oppo intercept marks? I can imagine that accounting for our low I50 numbers.

This thread ended up being a lot more interesting/entertaining than I was expecting from the title.

Yeah, I think his analysis is incomplete in that he identifyies lack of forward half pressure as the problem. When the ball is live, the pressure is good, inside 50 at least. It's when oppo has control from a mark or a kick in that we zone off to allow (or even encourage) a kick to the least...

It’s a good article, and good on Schmook for building a competition-wide story out of access to Freo. But the the thing that worries me is the paragraph that follows Serong’s comment about travel: The proposed solution to the travel inequality is to make it easier for players not to have spend...

Why just have one more on the bench? Between 2011 and 2015, it was three on the bench and one sub. In 2016, the sub was ditched in favour of adding another to the bench. In 2021, we get a medical sub (converted to tactical in 2023) added on top of the 4 on the bench, and now there are calls to...

Sheesh. A bit rough on Brayshaw. He was my pick of the mids. He did some enormous things in the middle. Sure Serong had more of it, and slightly bettered Brayshaw in the clearances but pretty much every one of Andy's was hard earned (14 CP from 18 disposals, and they had more impact overall: 8...

I personally never put much stock in these super specific win-loss records. AO has had football since 2014. We've been a bottom 8 team from 2016 to 2021, with Port better over that period, and Adelaide better for parts of it. HGA to the SA teams and travel for Freo are always going to give the...

Don't know where else to put this, but has anyone else been getting a pop-up video in the corner of the page, that starts with an ad (powered by Ad Choices) for Western Power (screen shot below), and then goes on to one of a dozen or more different video collages of red carpet appearances and...

Seems pretty unfair to say this right after a game where Tabs won a free in the pocket precisely for a chase down tackle. No one’s going to claim he’s at Ballantine levels of forward pressure, but he has massively lifted his efforts in that area this season. I'm optimistic that if he happens...

In the lead up to trade season, someone on these boards was really pumping up Sharp’s tyres, saying he was going to be a great get for us, etc. The thing I don’t get is where the hell is that person now? Surely the last few weeks calls for some serious “I told you so”, quoting old posts and...

How is this thread not at the top of the front page?

...said the Freo list manager every year for the last 20 years (barring 2021).

Sure, but outside of that, what have they done that's so terrible?

Sharp was very, very good. Kept the field super wide, enabling the 45 degree inboard kicks. That meant he didn't get used nearly as much as he could have, but that is precisely what he is there for and he just kept on maintaining that width. Brilliant runs down into defence with that great...

I was stunned that that Brayshaw goal didn't get a nom for GOTW.

Yeah, I really like his blog. The best part is the way he marks-up short clips to illustrate his points. I'd definitely subscribe if he were analysing Freo games every week. Would also recommend reading his thoughts on Collingwood (and Richmond) from Rd 1...

Pretty sure I read somewhere it was at training. Definitely preseason, maybe between the two preseason matches, but definitely over 3 weeks ago.

5. Brayshaw 4. Jackson 3. Fyfe 2. Clark 1. Serong Unlucky: Banfield, Treacy Jackson no doubt had the more impressive game overall, and Serong got the most possessions, etc. but Fyfe was the one who kept us from being completely annihilated in the first and Brayshaw was the one who, in the...

I'm not one of those to whom you're posing the question, but even I feel that the only appropriate response to this question is that it's far too early to say. Two wins from behind, following less than perfect starts, and one of those against a wooden spoon candidate — I can appreciate why those...

Perhaps, but H&A ladder position bears on the placing of the two losing prelim finalists, so on the unlikely assumption we did lose, it'd pick 16, not 15.

Who do you have us losing the prelim to?

Yeah, it's disappointing. I find I take it in much more from the written form and can read the transcript in half the time it takes to listen to it. Was thinking that the running transcript on YouTube wouldn't be any chop, but I can see now that you can just pause the vid and the scroll through...

No transcription of the presser up on the club site again. I guess, the media team aren't planning to doit anymore. Can anyone direct me to an online tool for transcribing audio straight from an embedded video?
