Perhaps, but what seems to me like a smug/gotcha attitude doesn't feel necessary. Also, a few of the questions didn't seem like real issues, but just populist talk scraped from anti-JL posts...
Cronulla play in a stadium thats a construction zone and from western sydney the shire takes nearly 1hr 20. Not many fans are interested in travelling to the Shire.

GWS are a generation away at a minimum until the kids currently have families to pass down the line and become Giants fan.
Genuine question, why do you think COD is an idiot? I think he's one of the better ones out there. I didn't think he was playing "gotcha" at all or trying to make JL look bad. He had stats to back up his questions on ball movement and other things, and JL had a good answers for all of them. There are a lot of idiots out there, I just don't see COD as one of them. I'm curious on your take.
Of course hes on the spectrum...?
No worries, Daddoo. Being over in the east now for 10 years, I've lost touch with WA reporters so I hadn't seen him before. Just seemed like all the old questions all over again. Maybe he was truly trying to give JL an opportunity to clear the air, but it was just the long list of same questions that JL has already answered many times that put me off. He also struck me as trying to bait JL, but maybe I got the wrong impression
No worries. It's a sad state of affairs when the default reaction to most journos is "He's an idiot." haha. I find my patience for the same questions over and over and over again has dwindled. Maybe it's a me problem or maybe it's their fault. Hard to say.
But there are so few really, really good ones out there that we become jaded and exhausted having to wade through the shallow end of the journo gene pool every day.

Thanks for posting. I was simultaneously triggered, hopeful, anxious, and excited while reading this article.A recounting of Freo’s history and an assessment of the direction headed by the club, told by first-time “grassroots” analyst:
The Rebirth of the Fremantle Football Club
The Fremantle Football Club is being reborn. The current team and leadership represent not a diversion from a history of failure, but a reckoning with an institutionalised tendency towards instability
I think it just reinforces my opinion that Garlick and Walls have been two of the most important figures in Freo's short history. I know we haven't won anything yet, but just the stability they've brought alone has been incredible. We don't hear about "player exoduses" or "transgressions off the field" anymore. If we win a flag in the next 3-4 years, perhaps we can leave the word "dockery" behind. I'd love for it to fade as a memory of who we were, not who we are.

Interesting that so many laud those two yet everything that doesn’t work is laid squarely at the feet of Jlo. He’s also in charge of player development and team culture so he must be doing something right.Thanks for posting.

hairless is not intrinsically funny Feeder...just sayin
The idea I had was every non-Victorian team plays at home in round one and North/Hawthorn host a team in Tasmania. Give the northern teams the big slots against the biggest teams anyway.
