Who are West Coast running with in the ruck other than Bailey Williams? I haven't really been watching their games this year

It's the freo fan base, we all know which option they're going to choose

It's amazing the incredibly broad conclusions that get drawn from a tiny sample size in this sport. AFL media sucks. So because we lost that game to Carlton, we're not a top 4 team because top 4 teams "find a way to win". It's literally just luck based on a sample size of 5 minutes of football...

I am really liking the idea of Jackson forcing Dixon into the backline if Dixon follows him, we could really expose them

On the Port board they are talking about potentially either Jordan Sweet, who is a traditional less mobile number 1 ruck, or a young ruck named Scully who played against us in their preseason game. Last year they ran with Dixon in the ruck and he is a more like for like replacement for...

I actually think that Darcy flying over indicated he was probably going to play managed minutes in the AFL. He wasn't playing a full game regardless of where he plays, but I assumed it would be in the WAFL if anywhere until he got on the plane Finlayson out is great for us, Jackson should have...

I actually think it's good that JL hasn't got caught up in all the drama. Focus on next week and get the 4 points there, let the higher ups sort out any issues with the AFL directly. The last thing we want is for us to lose focus and get belted this week because our coach was too busy arguing...

It may be the social media algorithms promoting the nuffiest of takes, but I haven't seen a single post from any Carlton follower on social media being in any way contrite or acknowledging that Freo got very unlucky to lose the game. They seem to think that acknowledging that Freo should have...

Bolton is extremely overrated, both in the media and on this board. He is flashy but wildly inconsistent and will have one good game every 4 games or so. He would not be the answer for us Our ideal missing piece is a proper bull goal kicking mid, like a Petracca or Dusty type, which are...

He is literally exactly what we were hoping he would be, which is amazing. Why the * do Gold Coast not play these guys. We honestly should be looking at other players not getting a game there

This was a greater miscarriage of justice imo. The Newnes incident, whilst incredibly harsh, was only technically incorrect in terms of who should have been allowed to take the kick. We literally should have won this game due to an umpire error which has been admitted by the AFL (which was...

Where's that "worst person you know just made a good point" meme

I think that slow ball movement generally is easy to spot, but hard to identify what the cause is. Teams don't move the ball slowly by choice. For us the issue with slow ball movement was because of our contested ball - we were getting bullied around the contest and it made us look slow when we...

So Rampe is out for a month and Hamling still can't get a game. Why did they even bother recruiting him?

People think the most dockery outcome is losing this game. In fact, the most dockery outcome is if Matt Taberner puts in a match winning performance and gets dropped for Darcy next week

I'm sceptical of elite key forward talent getting picked late in the draft, it hardly ever happens. Having a young developing key forward on the list is never a bad thing. Once Tabs goes we will have a bit of a depth issue imo

The best small forward talent seems to go towards the end of the first round. If Logan resigns at Sydney the odds of us getting someone like Malakai Champion with a late first significantly increase. Just grab the best available KPF with our top 10 pick and an elite small forward with a late...

I could potentially see us picking up a 25 year old KPD or swingman if Draper is starting to fatigue purely as a short term McDonald replacement, but it depends how much longer Cox would be out for. He was estimated at 12-14 weeks from round 1 and if the MSD is in round 13 he should be in the...

Looking forward to the Saints second rounder being like pick 40 and the media talking up what a masterstroke the trade was for the Saints, like it wasn't just Colin Young delivering Henry to them in their lap

I was thinking do we want a pissed off Crows at 0-2, or would that demoralise them? They'd be getting desperate for a win at some stage, them getting up tonight might be better for us

Do we want Adelaide or Geelong to get up, knowing we've got Adelaide next week?

I think even if you don't subscribe to the theory that every ex-player is a bad person, there is enough evidence out there that Rory is independently a dickhead

We've already got 3 young developing KPDs (and one of them is playing this week), I would think we are focusing extremely hard on Logan McDonald, and Baker to a lesser extent. When our 22 is fully fit Busslinger won't actually get a game

He likes Marvel but I'm only expecting a 1 or 2 goal return, he's essentially playing as the third tall. Treacy and Amiss have taken over the forwardline and you'd think the majority of our goals will come from them

Ok this deathriding thing is pretty fun. Let's hope Richmond get up this weekend

Ras did look a bit off when he came on, didn't adjust to the speed of the game well. I don't mind the idea of him spending a week at Peel to find touch. Brodie sub you would assume with that list of players

TBH I don't mind the idea of Tabs playing against North at Marvel for his final shot at a redemption arc

I can see JOM coming in, Banfield staying forward and us running with a smaller forwardline

I reckon Sydney are a huge chance at getting Cam Zurhaar. There's some funny noise about the place about him putting contract talks off, and he fits their list really well and they are massively into him. See how North go this year

If the Eagles get an assistance package like North did where they got beginning of 2nd and 3rd rounders that have to be used in a trade, you would think the 2nd round priority pick would go some way to getting it done
