Released a 3 minute video inclusive of obvious bollocks and dripping with hypocrisy and definitely zero self awareness “I’m not picking a side” whilst wearing writing in the colour of the Palestinian flag At least come out and say as a Muslim, I don’t like it when non muslims kill muslims -...

Free speech isn't free from ridicule or consequences... isn't that the oft shouted retort ? Or does hypocrisy only get held to account with people who express wrongthink Anyway - never realised Usman was a white supremacist. Strange times indeed.

As many have mentioned, not a massive fan of co-captains. But back the club in - they've picked a couple in the past that i wouldn't necessarily though of (Glass and Hurn), The new recruit's comment about Duggan teaching him respect for all people at the club - is the sort of stuff you don't...

In the last 10 years? Just wondering what experience he has managing stakeholders, diversifying revenue streams, managing sponsorship contracts etc.

I know I am coming into this late - but i dont see what history or experience Don Pyke has to make him CEO of a football club. Sure he has considerable and contemporary football skills - makes him viable for Director of Football style role. BUt when was his last business leadership role?

I'm as equally interested in our injury list

No unproven player is untradeable. O'Brien makes sense when he says Pick 1 is unlikely but doable. If North come with Pick2 and Pick3 (without knowing the talent - just in general) we'd be silly not to take it. We could then also split Pick 3 as well if required I appreciate that is highly...

No surprises really Connor West the only one that really showed glimpses of going on with it - but that was a couple of years back So we have at least 9 list spots to fill right? Hope we actually March someone to the PSD

Initial thoughts were that I thought the lad had talent and could have been a bit like Brandon Ellis. But noticed he's had 5 years with us already, which surprised me - so can understand the decision. Be interesting to see who else gets the lemon and sars - but there'd be a few ahead of him...

So defenders, midfielders, forwards and rucks then?

Yep agreed - we can't afford to have two lumberers in the team - it didn't work with mitchell and priddis - doesn't work with those two either.

Precis?

If the so called pundits in the media were any ******* good - they'd be doing instead of offering opinions. It's a bold call from the board - very few other clubs would make that decision. Personally I think it's the right call - and we saw a dramatically different attempt at gamestyle and...

Don't quite have him on speeddial yet

Offtopic I know - but anyone got a birthday in August and know the current teamstore birthday code

Admit to being one that thought AFL footy wasn’t for him But he’s shown a willingness to stick his head over the ball and do some grunt work Not sure he’ll be a Yeo - but it we can get a solid b grader out of him - than that’s still a win

No net talent difference in those 6 It's between the ears.

Our discipline over 35 years and desire to avoid Band-Aid fixes is precisely why we have been one of the most successful clubs

Fwiw - the board keeping Simpson is actually the brave/tough position Because it aligns his success/failure with theirs - Should they sack him and the next coach only lasts 3 years - then that is far less likely to fall upon the board Should simpson be sacked - losing the players won’t be...

Simmo claiming he asked the players to tank in the last 3 minutes in the post game interview onfield was quality

With the injury crisis being a repeated affair and no reserves side to bolster the league - surely it’s time to pair up with Perth They’ve had no success for 4 decades, they share training facilities already It’s time

How long will Schofield's injury (that he sustains this weekend) keep him out for

I’ve seen enough* I’m going to declare 2023 West Coast Flaggles *not seen a minute of football

If they are the two best talents - fair enough. But the fact we have already seen the close up and are looking to downgrade both - seems a stretch. Pick the one you think is the best and bring someone else new in who might surprise you.

Depends on his role in the midfield. For all his physical prowess - he lacks of natural reading of the ball, even at stoppages hurts him. His best football was lined up on the games elite where they would take him to the ball and he was able to exploit them physically. When he has to hunt...

Very very few first year draftees walk into a side and can hold down a FT midfield position from day 1. Even Ben Cousins spent his first season in a pocket. And you want those 3 to kick out the senior guys? Sure - if talent permits - give them some minutes in the midfield - but the idea...

Trade out for 3 picks, why not 4? It isn't the number of picks - it's the quality. It'll come down to whomever was 3rd highest rated versus Ginbey/Hewett. Something we can't celebrate for a number or years I remember Carlton heralding their genius move to get Stocker... That bold moved...

I chortle at the WC media saying our strategy "paid" off. Unless we had planned on taking Ginbey at 2/3 - then we won't know whether it has paid off. If Ginbey/Hewett is better than say Wardlaw - then sure - but it's going to be a number of years before we can say it "pays off"

Given none of the players have actually played yet - are we irrationally happy or irrationally upset ?

Personally i think it is a ridiculous decision. All teams need players to fill various roles - where are we going to find a forward who can't make the distance from 35m out? They are rare as hens teeth
