Training 2023 Pre Season

Take the bet.

One flag in 149 years vs around 13 flags in less time..

Even worse than that. One flag each before the grand final in 1971. 13 to one 51 years later.

Absolute first picked side we are missing King, Membrey, Ross, Windhager and Billings.

Freo are missing Walters, Fredrick, Cox and O'Meara.

Is Cox out??? That's a big win for us

Who is he?

O'Meara and Cox are likely to play

Funny that just happened to coincide with the Hawks being given our zone.

Looks like the honeymoon period for cuddly Ross is over and we're back to going at each others throats as the impending doom of the season draws closer. 40 blokes out, Ross sharing the gameplan with the entire competition, Bassat walking around barefoot, it's all happening.

Let's leave the arguments for after we lose by 12 goals on Sunday xo

Nah, open up the autopsy thread so we can get an early start.

That was a hard one to take, in the outer with a couple of Hawthorn mates, start off last 1/4 near the fence by the end I was about 20 rows back. F#@%ing football, why do we do it?

I can’t watch Asher keddie even act because it reminds me of bobs last quarter.

Last time I did that too early we were up by 10 goals and won by 2.

Maybe it'll work in reverse this time

Top 10 picks are not guaranteed to drag you back up the ladder.
They help but you don’t want to count on it, good development wins out every time.
McCartin
Billings
Clark
Coffield
Not having a shot at them but how did that go getting us up the ladder.

Exactly right. And the 2 best mids to come out of Freo in the last decade have been Fyfe (pick 20) and Neale (pick 58)

Top picks obviously help, but shrewd drafting and development are more important

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

With Caminiti 19 y.o (debut), Owens 19 y.o, Phillipou 18 y.o (debut) & Cordy stillllll apparently hungover from mad-monday, surely can't be expecting a lot from our key forward set-up. Just hope that Butler, Gresham & Higgins can all, absolutely go off & kick 5 goals each.
And hopefully Byrnes, Bytel & Clark's good form over the pre-season, means that our midfield is more potent.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Who is he?

Brennan Cox, underrated key back.

Sorry thought it was the ruckman from wce.

I’d argue Freo have got stronger since last season, not weaker. We’re right up against it with our injury losses, new system etc etc

Like us thought forward could be an issue. If it’s really wet at marvel 3 goals could win it.

No Acres, Lobb or Mundy, Fyfe playing forward, not sure about them being stronger.

 

[Tom12]

Will take a few weeks to get up to speed with players returning (obviously MK the big IN who shapes our entire attacking eco system) - but I'm so IN on this new coaching group and team. Finals are on the cards, and I reckon we make it.

What’s that? Be down by 10 goals and lose by 2. Not sure that will helppeoples moods

Jackson at a minimum cancels out Lobb, their other bigs are healthier/improved on last year. I’m an acres fan but not sure he’s a loss, Mundy was incredible but was finished, have added O’Meara. Youngsters all another pre-season more mature and improved.
Fyfe playing forward is no negative…

Yeah it’s their weak spot, but their talls looked improved on last year in the pre-season games (Taken with a large grain of salt, granted)

You got that out of my reply but didn’t mention the wet part. I’m failing with my sarcastic posts today. None from 3.

I’m strictly business today, don’t have time to go down a Plugger rabbit hole. The sarcasm was noted, and appreciated xoxo

But the best way to stop the plugger rabbit hole is to agree or acknowledge my post. Then I have no where to go.
