Just starting a thread so we can share all Harley Reid talk here, in the hopes that I can avoid reading about him in any other thread ever again on this board. I’ve never ever heard him speak, I’ve managed to avoid every news article about him, but one practise match into his career I’ve...

To be voted on whenever the last one retires, if we aren’t extinct.

https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/port-adelaide-set-for-146year-noblame-divorce-as-huge-afl-move-nears/news-story/8d6dc196eeb37962f9d66f68b2aee75b This would make sense in explaining Bell’s new role. The toast would no doubt want this, their seconds are an embarrassment which they can’t...

Our form is known, and at least one home final is locked in. What are your expectations for September? For mine, I want to see us win a final just so the lads know they can, but with the progress this year, as long as we don’t get wiped off the park, making finals is a pass mark. Discuss.

I feel like certain players on our list are highly rated - or maybe it would be better to say their attributes are highly appreciated - by coaching staff but fans tend to focus on their limitations. For me Bailey Banfield is a player who might evade fan expectations this year and play a major...

https://www.watoday.com.au/sport/afl/worksafe-appoints-concussion-experts-to-investigate-afl-20201222-p56phy.html Think it’s significant from a couple of points covered in the article, but the one that surprised me is that allegedly there have been 20 known cases where players have retired over...

Obviously with the suspension of various international competitions the likelihood of the AFL being suspended or entirely cancelled is a genuine possibility. Apart from giving Gold Coast the number one pick (and GWS number two), what should the AFL do with the draft, if the season is cancelled...

How’d we go? How did Belly go?

Positives Seem to have the pieces in place in defence, midfield and close to it in the forward line. Started consistently maintaining a structure forward of the ball that wasn't Ballantyne or Walters one out. Darcy, Brayshaw, Duman, Ryan, Cox, Cerra just to name a few young kids who look like...

Insert fantastic pre-game spiel here. Freo to canter to a 30 point lead and sit there all day.

Couldn't see a thread so I thought I'd get the ball rolling. Eagles are fielding a tall side so Fremantle's ball use will be pivotal. I can see a big game from the vets for Sandi's 250th.

So it looks like in the space of a single trade period we are going to repair our situation with talls. The acquisition of kerstan and cam mac will mean apeness can develop more into a ruck role, if the coaches think he should play there. Tabs Kerstan and Cam Mac are 3 different types, and...

Mother ******* turnovers, every f*****&* time. We need some better users in the team. Fyfe a shadow of himself.

Just thinking about who might be a shot at All Australian this year for us. Fyfe will be starting centreman surely. Who else? Neale has been very good and if we hold our form might have a shot. Michael Johnson has once again been sensational. Ibbo excellent too. Thoughts?

Just thinking with the competition for spots at the moment, the possibility of somebody like crozier or sheridan deciding enough is enough and they want to play afl each week must be a concern. Will we lose players at the end of the year because of our strength?

Well the game is half through but its well and truly over. Can't say I'm too surprised, I think even with their outs the Hawks structure is much better than ours, really you can't play only two tall defenders against the Hawks, it means Johnson can't play to his strength which is not the 1v1...

Thread on the main board got me thinking, even though we were good enough to reach the grand final, to go there back to back we will probably need to get better. Problem is, Im not sure where that improvement might come from. I think Sandi Pav and Macca are at the stage of their careers where we...

Thoughts?

There seems to me to be a misconception among many footy fans and parts of the media that coaches are predominantly responsible for turning around football clubs. Everybody hails the likes of Malthouse, Roos, Lyon, Clarkson and Longmire. Hinkley and Hardwick are fast making strong reputations...

Pretty simple thread. If you read through bigfooty, you don't have to look far to find someone using the term game plan to either deride another side or to talk up your own sides chances of pinching a flag. An example on the Freo board being Freo should be better this year because they have had...

I find myself so scandled out, I can't even summon any curiosity about which clubs are involved. The media write thousands of words about this scandal, with not so much as a single piece of hard fact to be had. Their collective credibility was traded years ago in exchange for money, but this...

So how we all feeling?

Didn't realise we had such a high profile (in business at least) and well qualified board. Out of boredom just looked at the club website and ended up perusing the board section. It's no wonder we moved from being a basket case club to the professional off field outfit we are now. Great range of...

Big call, but I just cant help but think we are better with Griffin rucking alone as a team.

http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sport/a/-/dockers/13313384/nat-fyfe-a-week-in-the-life/ Sorry if it should be posted somewhere else, but I imagine everyone would be very interested to read this little insight.

The flock of geese on here who continuoulsy snipe off kids like Walters and Pitt. Happens every year. Walters is (allegedly) lazy, a trait that Mundy (allegedly) shared, until, oh wait, suddenly he is our best midfielder. And could end up being our best midfielder ever when he retires. And why...

Class above :thumbsu:

Dont know if this is discussed anywhere else. Just saw on the teams (foxtel) Leigh Colbert saying he's just bought a house up there, and he's out of contract..
