Yeh Freo wasted 3 years of his life trying to make him into a negating Crowley replacement. Finally this year he was allowed to be creative and just play the game and look at him go!

WAFL is not AFL. Look at KANE Mitchell who won the sandover by miles and is only just serviceable in the AFL. I reckon we made the right call delisting Menagola, unfortunately for him.

Works both ways, see Priddis and Ballantyne. Mitchell is shit because he is a midget and one of the worst kicks I've ever seen. Menegola has the same endurance, plus much better size and kicking. Might not be good enough for Hawthorn or Freo (though I'm not sure someone like Mzungu is any better), but there are plenty of worse players getting a game in the AFL.

Is Jesse Hogan trying to taunt us Freo fans? He keeps putting photos on instagram with #Perth, obviously the photos are taken in Perth but sometimes it gives the impression that he would love to be living back here, where his family and friends and his favourite AFL team are. Dammit Hogan just don't sign any shitty Dee deals, come and help us win some Premierships.

We just need to add a comment every photo he puts up reminding him!

So Port keen to draft a one paced mature aged big bodied midfielder with suspect skills and decision making?

I wish them lucko_O tough choice between Ballard and Menegola. Probably go Ballard as he's only had one club cast him aside.

Finally someone trying to pick at Hawthorns list. North get Jed Anderson. Aside from Sydney no-one has made an audacious bid to lure a star from what is essentially the best list in the land. I guess the Bulldogs have done it with Suckling.

They are losing a few. I still can't see them securing Carlisle. The guys a mercenary, no way Hawks are offering the saints money.

Maybe we're the ones stalling the McCarthy deal while we get the Hogan one done?



A girl can dream anyways...

There is a few concerns I am seeing here.

Dawson Simpson to GWS means probably a lack of interest in Hannath, Griff, Zac.
Treloar deal might get GWS their picks required for Academy kids.
Talk of Pick 8 to Hawks for two firsts will get them picks for Academy kids if Treloar doesn't.

Therefore they probably don't want/need our picks and don't want/need any of our three ruckman available.

So to get this done I think there HAS TO BE a third club involved now.

You know what's annoying about Twitter, when you get excited when you see TRADE CONFIRMED or something along those lines but then realise it's the same one being tweeted/retweeted over and over...


Also, how Kangas think Anderson is worth pick 15 is beyond me.

They got two second rounders back though, don't exclude that.

Hawthorn has traded Jed Anderson and draft picks no. 38 & 40 to North Melbourne in exchange for picks no. 15 and 54.

If the Bombers have any brains, they will not let Carlisle go to the Hawks.

He was pretty good this year, Danyle
I disagree...Thought he was poor. 14 goals 10 behinds all season for an "Elite Kick" is poor enough but add to that an average of 2 clearances a game and average of 20 disposals per match and you're not in the top echelon of midfielders. And yes I know he rates well for inside 50's but the quality of that ball can often be very poor.

What clinched it for me was the more than a few occasions where I saw him stream past the left side of one of our defenders (who was stationary with the ball) outside our 50 and looking for an option only for him to be TOTALLY ignored. That showed me his own team fail to see him as a positive outlet.

He does fumble it a fair bit too.

Now don't get me wrong I would go so far as to say his kicking CAN be Elite..but his decision making, occasional panic and consistency particularly with precision passing regularly fail him.

Now we've got Bennell I could see Danyle dropping down the pecking order.
