Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere - apologies if it has.

I listed to Episode 4 of Michael Barlow's podcast, Out of Bounds, last night. He spent 30 minutes with Dennis Commetti and it was a fantastic listen.

Would recommend to all Freo fans and football fans generally:

What an absolute ripper of an interview! cheers for posting

Absolutely disgusting of the AFL to demand footage of an injured player - just shows the extent to which it has taken over the sport.
Hawthorn issued with a "please explain" after covering a changeroom camera when Ceglar was injured.

Meh, I am not so sure. That camera is always there and everyone knows about it, it was just a simple matter of moving the injured player to another room, the Hawthorn support staff just got a bit too emotional imo.

Mostly fair with their analysis.

Nice little fluff piece with the boys wearing their junior footy jumpers to train yesterday

Matthew Lloyd saying Dawson should be paid out and speaking highly of Sam Collins.
Makes me wonder, Zac Dawson is better when he has more talent around him so with the return of Alex Pearce
does Ross play all of ZacD, Alex Pearce, Sam and Johnno in the same side ?..... If not, it points to ZacD or Johnno being dropped.
Maybe Lloyd has a point.

We will have too many list changes as it is without delisting guys who are still capable especially key backs. The best set up down back would be Alex & MJ providing rebound but playing tall and then one of ZacD, Silvagni or Collins to play the lock down role. That means two play WAFL which I think is alright depth especially if it is Zac or Silvagni providing Peel with some leadership.

Lloyd and Barrett also called for Silvagni to be cut from the list along with others.

They might well be good for Silvagni but I think he might have gotten himself a contract offer at Freo at the last minute!

Brisbane need a KPD badly. I wonder if they will offer him a bit of cash and a 3 year deal.

I would be surprised if these two have seen more than one Freo game live this season. Great sample to use in making list management decisions.

 

[Freoforever86]

Haven't watched the footy show in about 3 years, but I'm gonna give it a watch tonight just to see if Pav gets a mention.. Whether I can deal with their drivel before that will be a test...

I reckon Matthew Lloyd would have seen two and Barrett zero.

Another great podcast from Barlow's podcast this week. Love hearing how players are behind the scenes.

One thing that i did notice was Barlow briefly mentioned that "Everything's tracking along in the right direction" (in terms of how things are going at Freo). So take that comment how you will.

Then on 6PR, Mick mentioned the list management probably won't know until the first week of the trade period, that's the way it just is. Also mentioned he was 'surprised' at the North Melbourne situation. He seems more relaxed over the last few weeks.

I really don't mind Barlows media work and I think he'll do well in the industry if he gets there.

Here's a touching video tribute to Pav, with messages from quite a few of the other AFL captains - including Shannon Hurn, Joel Selwood, Tex Walker, Tom Rockliff, Nick Riewoldt, Scott Pendlebury, Bob Murphy, Travis Boak, Marc Murphy, Phil Davis and Jarrad McVeigh

Gotta love the media over here

Pav is retiring and all they are on about (mostly) is about Natanui and his knee and the blackface incident - really taking the focus off a retiring great

Nah, the media have been good about the pav this week imo

How'd it go? Did they spend at least 30 seconds on it or...?

I'm glad Ross has got 4 more years on $1 mill a year, don't know if I've got enough in the bank to pay the membership!


Fremantle coach Ross Lyon has warned it could be another four years before the Dockers plays finals again.

Better to talk down the future projections and over achieve rather than keep promising things that don't get delivered ala Richmond. I think it may well happen inside 4 years however.
