I don’t follow it that closely, has the media said that he’s had a much better season than he ever had at Freo?

I don’t recall much mention of his time at Freo in this years media at all TBH. He’s had a great season and been the best player in the fourth placed team. We all knew he was very good but at the end of the day Serong will be better... hopefully... please...

He's been vocally supportive of playing forward more but surely there's a big part of Fyfe that's pretty dirty he's not getting as many votes? Freaking Greenwood polled more for crying out loud

No, I didn’t think so. Due to the way we as supporters have been treated by the media over the years we tend to get a bit paranoid about such things.
This is a real headline from The West online atm...
Umpires snub Nic Nat in Brownlow
Sounds like tomorrow's front page to me with Lachie getting a teaser at the bottom. A bit surprised they didn't leave the big cry about Willie Rioli from a few days back until now for back to back Brownlow issues.

Apparently Crowden is furious Cripps took his spot at the Brownlow count

Well done to Lachie. Pick 58 is a highlight for our recruiting surely?
All the hindsight on this trade, he got us pick 6 (hogan/Lobb) Will he lead lions to a flag maybe? He would not have taken us to a flag and he is fulfilling his potential so it’s a win/ win for me

I heard Cripps was there. Was he with the freo crew?

But how though? Less then ten marks ALL year, averages 7-8 disposals a game. Doesn’t do anything else other then taps and centre clearances. Wa media need to GTFO and study the game more
Brayshaw brought his partner over from Vic, been together for years
Yep, only real difference was Lachie kicked a few more goals this year but tbh you could say 2016 was an abberation in the goal kicking department for Lachie, he kicked slightly less that year because we were a shocking team otherwise his others are pretty much in line with this one.
If we were good in 2016 we may have seen Lachie poach the brownlow, or atleast come very close.

If it’s any consolation to Nic he managed to get his mug on the front page of the paper again.
Lachie has definitely improved his all round game, as you'd expect someone of his experience coming into his prime. But to say he hasn't improved all that much isn't a sleight because he was already a star at Freo.
His best years coincided with Freo falling off a cliff which led to him being quite underrated. In 2016 he broke the all time disposal record, but couldn't get an AA gig despite scoring 20 votes from a bottom 4 side. Tom Mitchell did the same thing a year later in a good team and received AA and a brownlow.
It's a shame we couldn't have gotten our act together a couple years earlier with the list and staff changes to clear up our direction, he may have stayed.
You could understand him looking around in 2018 seeing guys on the list not working hard enough, or getting preferential treatment, whilst the team got flogged every second week, whilst on a bad deal financially. It's clearly been a good move for him but I still hope we can get our act together and achieve some team success to make him regret it.

Agree. 2016-2018 having many spuds on the list while De Boer, Barlow left clearly showed him the club isn’t improving anytime soon. A first year Brayshaw and Cerra finished 2018. Even with Fyfe there, it was clear Lachie better prepare for a long rebuild.
Well done on Brisbane getting into his ear, perfect timing really.

That win says as much about Brisbane's starting inside midfield brigade as it does about Lachie.
They should be throwing their money at another midfielder rather than Daniher.

Also think guys like Berry are honest triers but he kills you with the ball in hand
DRAGONS FFC Someone that could end up better than Lachie? Don't think he'll let that happen...

Apparently, big snoz said on 6PR this morning that 7 are just going to have their commentators calling the games from the studio in Melbourne like they are doing now. The only people they will have at the ground will be a host and a boundary rider.
IMO that would be a horrible move. You need that insight as to what is happening off the ball that you can only get from someone at the ground. If they are just going to call the game based on the same pictures we are seeing, then there is no use having the commentators.

Some of them were calling off the monitor already.
Bruce hasn’t left Adelaide as far as I know. BT did his two weeks quarantine in QLD so he will call live from the ground. No idea about the rest. Haven’t noticed a difference in quality, it’s just as s**t now as it was last season.

I meant even before this season. They would call off the monitor whilst in the commentary box.
