We already know how shocking we are without Oscar Allen.
I'm just hoping last game and our first preseason was a result of our mids being s**t at forward fifty entries rather then the void left by Oscar Allen.
There was little to no connection between our mids and offense. If it's the first (due to Oscar Allen void) we are in a void of pain.
We struggle to touch the ball.
And on the rare occasion we get it we have nobody who can score. I legit can't see us score more the 50-60 a game

The other option is we bring in Barnett and let Bailey play more forward.

I’m a huge OA fan and obviously hope this turns out to be minor, but I don’t think you even need to look back that far to see what it’s like to play without him as he was terrible on the weekend (all things considered). Can’t wait to see him back, but Jack Williams should get the call up immediately imo

Don’t hate that, but only if Barnett is truly ready. I will say it’s great he’s already being spoken about getting a run this year and has obviously come on a lot faster than most young ruckmen entering the league. Credit to the kid
I'm not upset nor embarrassed, I'm actually replying to another post that like many posts make presumptions or speculations without fact. I'm not even defending Darling, he's a frustrating player who has seen better days. He might come good after a few games or he might end up in the Wafl, ce la vie - but at this stage nobody actually knows why he underperformed in round one, is my point. As we supposedly slide towards a trifecta of wooden spoons (?) I'm sure you'll encounter a zillion critical comments on players who have been average for awhile now - BF is loaded with them...enjoy.

No point bringing in a young big man cos he will get his confidence shattered by Taylor.

It's really not rocket science that darling picks when he wants to apply himself and when he doesn't, then gets a free pass from the coaching panel jk carried him for years
Surely you can't be happy they way 2022-2023- and this year is shaping up? It's an embarrassment on what this great club used to be
Not a first rodeo just a bf hiatus

The gps Must have been so huge and so fast that the tracker wasn’t able to even have him placed anywhere in the top 5 for distance, speed, sprint, work rate , distance at speed or anything available for public consumption… I have no doubt he runs a lot. Just not a lot of times does he run where he should be.

Jack Williams only turned 20 in December. For a key forward he is still a baby.
He looks to have stripped most of that puppy fat he had when drafted and looks to have that genuine power forward build now .
Having darling waterman who are on the small side and Allen who is more the lead up forward , big jack is a point of difference and with jamo in the team he doesn't have to back up ruck and can get a proper look up forward

Williams has a big tank . If they put Taylor on him tell him to take Taylor up the ground and leave some smalls as the last forwards .
Having Petrecelle and cripps getting behind the defence could create some goals
Okay...2022-2023 has been discussed ad infinitum in all it's many threads and minute details on BF. I'm not getting dragged into all that again, this is where we're at, like it or not - a rebuild, shedding older players along the way and transitioning the team with younger and drafted/traded players to fit. It will be a long haul, best to focus on the positives and the progress, the little wins along the way...the build, towards something much better down the road - quite likely with a new coach. All great clubs have their ups and downs, the long view my friend, the long view...

That’s baloney. It’s not his debut, he’s played at the level and he’d be dying to get out there. If the opportunity arises out of injury it’d be mad not to give him a game, plus he was strong on the weekend in the build up
Didn’t say it was his debut
Perth played a under strength side in that scratchie not exactly GWS.
Also I think this is an opportunity to try something different .We bomb all day to OA. Will that change with JW?
PS. Don’t get me wrong I quite like JW. I think he’s starting to get into shape I just think the intensity is a bit lacking. Harder for longer! Probably an age and confidence thing
