Luke Ryan should be dropped for that performance. Mainly because I’m pretty sure he will go home happy he got so much of the ball.

So what promise did O’Reilly show? Was it the many games playing WAFL reserves or was it showing up horribly unfit? You say they didn’t need to please Stephen O’Reilly but it’s pretty clear his son was given 18 months on an afl list because he was a board member.

Happy to see Jason Day miss. One of the worst blokes in golf.

What promise did he show other than a surname?

You are arguing with someone that has never said a bad word about the club. Think O’Reilly was cheap and maybe a McGovern? *in lol

Dylan O’Reilly in whatever year we picked him up. 2019 maybe? Didn’t get close to a game and not even sure he was playing senior WAFL.

Agree to disagree on that, Ross was done at the club. There was no point continuing with him imo.

If Peter Bell hadn't kicked a football for the club he wouldn't have even received an interview for the role. But really we should have been worried when we drafted a board members son in the mid season draft, someone that had shown very little in the WAFL and by all reports was horribly out of...

How dumb is Mayes though, the ball is 45m out and heading towards the boundary. No idea what he was thinking taking the Crows player out.

So good to see Erasmus getting a game and by the sounds of it won’t be the sub!

The fact Erasmus didn't get a look in either of the preseason games is such bad list management.

The rest of the tribe are absolutely boring as batshit, so the more Jodie the better IMO.

Thing is due to have constant diving and acting he doesn’t even get the frees that are there anymore. Rightly so as well imo.

Chad Warner looks like an absolute midfield bull. Went pick 39 in 2019, we really need to nail these types of picks to go with our high end talent.

So Mundy missing another week suggests the first week was close contact and now he’s tested positive. Going to be tough coming straight back after two weeks of isolation as well.

NOD has 50% of Acres goal tally after 1 quarter.

AFL website actually includes "shots" and they record him having 6 in total for Fremantle. So he's 2.0.4 in 27 games, so not only does he not hit the scoreboard at all I can now take back my accurate claim.

He’s been playing midfield as far as I can tell, just not starting at the CBs which given he lacks contested footy, speed and strength is probably a good thing.

Two shots on goal in 27 games as a winger! Had a look, Mitch Robinson who plays a pretty defensive role as the teams winger had 14 shots last season in 22 games.

Only because we refused to play him in either of the preseason games.

Nah. Langdon hit the scoreboard, he averaged 0.5 goals a game with us which is pretty good for a wing. Acres has kicked 2.0 in 27 games for Fremantle. At least he’s accurate I guess…

I think his point is we shouldn't be seeing in Crowden and Blakely ahead of Erasmus and NOD. We don't need to be making 6+ changes for the selections to have some impact. The fear is real that JLo plays it way too safe at selection, simply no way Banfield should have been playing in round 2 yet...

Problem with that is I wouldn't put the Saints midfield in the top 10 in the competition. Steele (gun), Ross, Crouch and Sinclair is not a midfield that should be pushing anyone around.

If we want to be playing the young players we need to excuse the fact that they will stuff up a bit, no issues with Young for mine.

Anyway not a Peter Bell thread, but favourite sons very rarely work out at football clubs. Fans jump to their defence based on the fact they kicked a ball for the club.

But you think he went against the club in the prepared statements he read out...OK.

Haha you think he said all of that against the clubs wishes? Fair enough if so but I tend to disagree that a bloke two weeks into the job publicly went away from what the club were thinking. Especially in a prepared statement.

Granted just off TV, but the Saints pressure was fine...nothing special.

Got those quotes? Or is it just based on the fact that he was the one to publicly read out the clubs media statement regarding the due diligence. You really think Bell went rogue and made those statements?

Bell was right there involved in the Hogan trade. If he wasn't a Freo hero there would be heat on him.
