What are peoples thoughts on free agency after 6 and 8 years?

Should help us get more WA players.

Would have loved to - child minding duties, engagement party, distaste for driving on the freeway all prevented me doing so.
Caught 10 mins of the souths game, being an old Souths boy myself it was good to see some early season form from them

I thought my username might have given away that I'm a Bloke ... I'll be sure to throw a few more blokey references in to make it clear for all from here on

I think it is Aubin Grove which is the next suburb south

Only if they increase the draft age. Six years when you spend two developing them is not fair on the clubs.

Yep.

• Increase the draft age by one year. Maybe have one position per club open for an 18 year old, like they did for 17 year olds back in Pavlich's draft year as an interim measure. Even a 20 year old requirement would be good for the AFL and feeder competitions.
• Increase the initial contract to three years, with no extensions allowed in the first year. Give the players a bit more security, and take the pressure off to sign extensions before player and club get to know each other properly.
• Reduce the free agency time by a year, but keep the limited and unlimited free agency distinctions, and keep the compensation, as the more poorly performing clubs will need to be protected from talent stripping.

Love it even from an umpire's perspective.

Yeah it is. Sonny lives down the road from me and Danyle's kids go to Aubin Grove Primary.

Anyone hear Michael Prior's interview on 882 last night?

No is it posted Harry?

No it isn't. Michael Prior filled in for Ross last night in his usual spot on Monday night on 882.

I missed it and was wondering what was said.

Can anyone assist?

Pretty certain Johnson lives around Claremont/Cott. Know someone who dropped off his online orders. Beaut house, obviously.

Sandi lives in a very nice but reasonably modest place in Bicton. Pav around Johnno. Fyfey lives in that new development right across from South Beach, or at least he owns a big block of land there.

i'm about halfway between Barlow and CPearce. Barlow's windows are easier to see through though.

This article has a anecdote on tagging Nat Fyfe. If you can't get behind the paywall:


I went and stood next to him and he looked at me and laughed “bring your old, skinny bones and follow me” ignoring the play unfolding in his area he headed straight to his forward 50.

Like an obedient robot I followed. He barked at his team mates “get out of my area, I want the forward 50 all to myself, this old man can’t stop me”.

Incidentently Fyfe had 34 touches and 2 goals that day.

sounds like he used some poetic license. or Fyfe was born in the 1940s or an Enid Blyton book
