No Walters. I'm a bit surprised.

Ah, his choice to stand down. That explains it.

Bit sad. Would’ve loved for him to be captain for one game. He deserves it

 

[freo_leo29]

Not much forward representation in the leadership group now

 

[Johnny Dalmas]

Have we ever had two better young leaders at the same time as Brayshaw and Serong?

he did a few times in 2020

No.

 

[Walkingwounded]

At least he’s in the photo…

That looks like Bewley, not Switta.

 

[DragoDelph]

That looks like Bewley, not Switta.

Wasn’t it about Sturt? Who was referenced as on the right, but is on the left?

Now I’m confused.

Good work by sonny to step away and give another kid like serong a chance.

Form been down and as he said you don't have to be in the leadership group to lead.

He will provide leadership in other areas. And hopefully contining to mentor Liam Henry.

Really good point about stepping away.

Leadership isn't just about being in the leadership group.

Yep good signs for any club to have a lot leaders. You dont have to be in the group to lead and shows i think that sonny isnt selfish like he can sometimes be made out to be.

I do hate him playing for free kicks and i think it has become detrimental to his game at times as his focus instead of just winning the ball and off loading to team mates he is more worried about getting a FK. But thats just one part of his game.

A couple of aspects of Walters game have declined I feel, especially pace and marking. The playing for free kicks has been an unfortunate and unnecessary compensation.

Haselby is a dead set meat head.

 

[stax on the mull]

Haselby is a dead set meat head.

He might be, but he'll still have a bit more insight into the Fremantle Dockers than his replacement on 6pr will. Readings knows nothing.

Does this mean no more Readings on D&Q?

 

[stax on the mull]

Does this mean no more Readings on D&Q?

Hasleby has moved from 6PR to SEN Afternoons and Readings has joined Langdon weeknights on 6PR.

Don't listen to Duffield and Quartemain except when someone links the pod on bigfooty. Can usually pick up Duffield's thoughts about Fremantle on the ABC on Saturday mornings.

As an example of Readings' cluelessness, when he's interviewing Trent Cooper tonight, he asks a typically bland question about the upcoming game against Adelaide : "Do you think you'll keep the same line up that did the job for you last time"

Cooper says "I think we might just be able to squeeze Kiara Bowers in"

Interesting. I can only assume 6pr didnt push him out for Readings of all people but at the sane tine, surely that's a downgrade to go SEN in Perth from non prime time. Wonder what the story is there. Maybe Hutchy just waived his bottomless pit of funds in front of Haze and got him to move

Some worthwhile points in there

• 26ish to play this week
• Amiss to play the 2nd scratchie
• Benning sounds like he essentially needs A LOT of work to get up to AFL conditioning which is exiting to be honest because he must be coming off an incredibly low base.

 

[Spirit Level]

Got the email about 75% capacity today

Will members get to sit in their own seats this year or will it be the use your code to get random tickets deal?

I hope its the random seats. I loved 2020 getting cat 1/2 seats when i pay for cat 5

Given what he was able to achieve last year, of practically not even a WAFL preseason. Juicy.

Re Benning, they have clearly been working his fitness during preseason. I hope he sticks with it and becomes the player we think he can be.

Doesn’t look happy doing laps with a stop watch in his paw, whilst everyone else is doing match sims.

Hope he sees the end game, big guys with his skills are like gold.

Hope he has good support around him during this conditioning phase.

Good news about Amiss, having a bit of time in 2nd praccy match.. another one doing laps.

 

[gaskin]

Yeah, no. I have great seats and sit with a big group of mates. I want my seat that I am paying for.
