It was a crazy good era for rock and metal though.

The 90s was the best era in human history.

The forties was the best decade by far.

 

[Big Animal]

clothes and music in the 90s ranged from great to really suspect. Movies were the best though. So many blockbusters and big stars in one decade. I even watched Terminator 2 and Top Gun at the Omni Theatre (City West dome).

Very much looking forward to the training report today so we can stop this shit haircut and fashion talk in the pre season thread

 

[lint]

Can we have less chat about hair/music/film/fashion/general pop culture and more about the freo pre-season please? If i wanted mind numbingly boring mediocre irrelevant chat from irreputable sources I can head to chatgpt and get my fill of brainrot. Hell even a Bill Simmons podcast would beat a bunch of Western Australian has-been bogans reminiscing and giving their two cents on an ever broadening array of subject matters they have zero qualifications in.

Banfield got the perfect kick from Reid to run by himself for 15 metres into two opposition players for no reason and holding the ball. What the hell! Terrible and then kicked straight to Kickett inside 50

Cmon it was a vibe though....

I'm not into boyband music at all, but you can't tell me the likes of Backstreet, Westlife, NSYNC etc weren't way better than the trash boyband revival shite that surfaced around 2012 (One Direction etc).

Two wrongs don't make a right.

"Leave some for the other kids" type coaching.

 

[King Huskii]

Credit to Banfield he's improved as the match sim has progressed

Were they from being on the lead, contested marks or ground balls?

Caught about 1 hour of today’s session so some random observations.
Generally skills a bit hit n miss today in good training conditions

Rehab group: Sturt, Walker. Ryan no visor and did warm ups but then to rehab group. Ryda Luke the opposite, started with rehab but played in match simms

First Qtr
Jackson v Darcy - this went on the entire session I saw. Darcy must haven taken 3 marks in the first 2mins, in everything
M Cix forward - took two nice marks I50 and kicked 1.1
Vossy took a strong contested mark v O’Mac but a bad miss from the set shot
Kickett with his usual rundown tackle, this time Nod the victim. I have seen him make tackes like this at every session I’ve been to! Also a nice wee volley ball tap to help Jom snap a good goal
Freddy spending some time on a wing I think but hard to tell
Simpson (back), Sweidy (forward) and B Cox all back in match simms

2nd
Amiss wtf? Started at least twice on a wing v Sharp and also popped up a chb against B Cox. No idea what’s going on here …
Some fantastic corridor play resulting in Clark lacing out Nicholls (I think) 25m directly in front - kicks the goal. This was great to watch - more please
Tobyn Murray also in match Simms with a few nice moves

Cheers

Any sign of Riddle on the sidelines?

 

[Eski3]

If he can get enough of the ball on the wing to be involved in the game I absolutely love this idea

 

[Docker82]

Not sure he's a good enough runner tbh.

A lot of wingers are freak runners even compared to other AFL footballers.

It's probably worth it as a change up during games but don't think it'd be a full time role.
