Going back to the OP I agree with the following

Trade or delist Masten, Redden and maybe even Darling (there's some value there) for a start. Retire Priddis and Butler. Gaff and Darling I can't agree 100% on.

ON NOTICE is LeCras, not a genuine crumbing forward. Need to get one of him, Cripps or Hill permanently at the feet of JK and or making space if there opponent is going and double teaming JK. I'd put Hill on notice as well. Far to inconsistent for my linking.

Duggan hasn't come on as I'd anticipated either and there could be value from a Victorian club.
 
Same should apply to Partington. The Wafl watchers say he lacks impact. But at least he is finding the ball and can kick a goal. He would be no worse than Masten if he took his place and could play his role. But at least he is young and has potential and probably some hunger to succeed.
Mutimer, Rioli and Venables need to play

You have got to be joking. give the kid a chance. We would probably only get a second rounder for him and he's going to be a gun

Fair call. Hopefully like Nelson with a good run in the AFL side we can see the fruits of our labours.

IF (and that's a big if) he did come to us and said I want to go home than we shouldn't stop him should we?

I wouldnt let him go. He needs a solid run in the side like Nelson and Sheed. He will be a very good players he just needs time in the side.
 
I wasn't too keen on Waterman, played as a tall in colts but no where near tall enough to do that at AFL. Not sure if he can change to a Hill or LeCras type forward which he will have to be.

That's if he gets back on the track, I've heard his injury is very serious.
I want him to change to a Mitch McGovern / Midfielder. He himself has stated midfield is the goal.
 
Asking a question.

Play the ball, not the man.

Why are you wanting to know and why ask the questions ????

It has nothing to do with Fremantle so why the sudden interest ?

What is wrong with them asking though? Are we the Carlton board now?

Because I think he is just shit stirring and the fained interest is not born out of a genuine concern for our Club rather I see it as mud raking.

Plus I am still pretty narky after the flaccid , insipid performance we witnessed last Sunday, so my reaction was not that tolerant , of those outsiders wanting to rub salt into a wound.

Also in a very grumpy mood because I find myself looking at the same midfield problem that has been evident for six ******* years now and the powers to be seem incapable of fixing.

As a footy follower, I think asking a genuine "non trolling" question is fair play.

It may have little to do with Freo, Swan Districts, Claremont or the Widgemooltha Nuggets, but it is a footy question.

Monocle, I've been on these boards long enough, I'm cheeky at times but never a troller.

Me thinks you need a Bex and a good lay down, the world is not all against you.

All good masai after Sundays performance I do indeed need a Bex and a cup of tea.
Probably ages us both if we actually remember what a Bex is.

You probably got the worst of my grumpy prickles side and I should be more thick skinned but as a general rule I do get pissed off with our board getting comments and suggestions from supporters of other teams after a particularly bad loss.
I cut them slack if they have also given comment after wins or are regular contributors to our board other wise I am an intolerant old fart.

So apologies. :thumbsu:

Ironic that sport is meant to be entertaining ... lol.... so far after the shit show on Sunday I have been in nothing but a bad mood.
Mrs Monocle is not impressed.

Mini? Not sure what that entails.

We do not have the mids and runners to win a GF. This will take some time to develop.
LeCras, Priddis, McKenzie, Schofield and Kennedy (plus the obvious others) will be past it before we develop the required mids. We should selectively move them on to allow space and cap to develop what as list that will can win a GF. This is the simple maths.
A few others are confirmed non combatants and must be traded out for what its worth. If you watched the 16 GF you would have no doubt that this season is just confirmation.

Coaching and club management is a Perth problem that will take outstanding leadership to overcome the nepotism and amaturism.

I watched the Steve Gleason documentary after the game and let me tell you the loss looked very insignificant after that.

And I was a kick the dog, tv breaker

(just kidding I would never kick Moocho)

now I think im cured next bad loss give it a go.

It certainly is only a game. professionals need to game well, but it is still only a game.

Liam isn't going anywhere :)
 
That's not true, this is from 2011 draft onwards up until a couple of weeks ago.There are plenty of guys from most teams that have come on well. In that time we've given Hutchings quite a few games and that's about it.

I was referring to the last 3 years not back to 2011. Going back that far you get the influence of the new teams with their armchair ride and also the fact that we tried to recruit some pace into the side for the midfield and that skews it a bit. As we had very few reasonable picks it is no surprise we bombed out a bit earlier than most. I had a cursory look at the figures as well but it seemed to me that there were surprisingly few player in that time to play a lot of games.
