A very good read and well spoken.

 

[anchor man]

For the most part I agree, but when he says things like no night away games it means that we'll stop getting night home games here for the same reason.

Sat night is obviously the best timeslot at Optus so would be stupid to lose that

Maybe he is bringing inthe short breaks we get prior to night games.

Love how they call it ‘explosive’ and yet JL would have delivered this in the most measured and reasonable way of all time

Mine reckons Treacy kicks more goals when D&D are playing - and boy do we need them.

good point it isn't just jackson kicking more goals its the forward line as a whole.

something else that doesn't get mentioned is that without jackson we aren't very tall up front. most teams have a key defender either above 2 meters or pushing that height. treacy at 195cm and amiss at 196cm means we actually consistently give away an inch to other teams.

Pretty sure he only means for 6 day breaks (like this week against the pies)

Saturday night is a much better timeslot otherwise

Geelong the team who pushed back & said our travel wasn’t an issue……………… then leave half the team at home so they don’t have to travel to Darwin & get pumped.

I exaggerated slightly with half.

Basil Hart is one academy kid. Plus Toby Whan (younger brother)

My thoughts exactly, I feel like he trod in it a bit here

 

[StingBitten]

JL getting a bit of spoke in his step, first the Amiss stuff and now this.

He's no pea heart despite much armchair posturing on this forum.

although it seems to have backfired with Amiss

I’m glad he spoke up
It’s just a shame the VAFL don’t give a flying fig

My favourite film scene. It is just spectacular.

That's what she said

 

[DQ 4EVER]

will all this talk of Travel. The Eagles have won 4 permierships....

Imagine how many they win if they didnt travel every 2nd week

Hmmmm nahh lets keep the travel

Drug cheating got them those flags*

[Jezzitizle]

Thank god someone at the club actually had a crack at the nga rules, albeit briefly.

Would prefer to sort out the draft concessions and get that on a level playing field over the travel.

How the **** we didn't get him playing for freo is an indictment of our management not being able to fight for ourselves or the afl not giving us an inch or both.
Father and son should have been let through as our founding captain was the founding captain.
It's called sense of occasion.

It was the AFL. The club tried but the AFL refused.

To talk the big game, you have to play the big game. Lets see how we go.

Don’t get me on this again- soft as butter Freo..
That boy is one if our own…

 

[freo_leo29]

He didn't qualify for father son, do people think we should have somehow completely broken the rules?

When his name gets called on draft night were we supposed to try and match the bid while not being allowed? Refuse to continue until we get our way?



****en ridiculous lol


Ben only played 47 games for us, even if we campaigned for it, nothing would have happened

 

[Taylor]

98 games for Hawthorn, they are the ones who had reason to be disappointed. That he was our first captain would have made it more even with the father son picks of old where a person working in admin at a club gave them access to the young man coming through.

 

[MadMundy]

Not getting Allan isn't that big of a deal.
