If there has ever been a face for radio...
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Really used to enjoy Chris Klifunis (sp?) and Dunny Clark in the mornings. Will now need to go elsewhere.
Vlahos in the arvo is annoying, but the Hack is a bridge WAY too far.

I am gifted at many things, and sports knowledge is right in my sweet spot...I actually dislike Vlahos on par with Haggers. Vlahos appears to have no talent, still stumbles over his words after 30 years on radio, does not listen to the person he is interviewing (asks a question about something that has just been answered) and has his head firmly up the arse of WC. Have never listened to Sports FM and thanks to this warning, never will.
Can we go back to 6PR now, or does Ginger still rule the sports?

Not a bad write up.Tells the informed reader nothing they didn’t know tho.
Sturt definitely, think there are arguments I’d accept for the other 2, it’s a pretty stacked backline when all fit, tough 7ish to break into.Not a bad write up.Tells the informed reader nothing they didn’t know tho.
Annnnnnd there’s no way Brennan cox , griff Logue and Sam Sturt aren’t b22 (when fit) with Conca likely aswell
Yeah granted griff and cox you could argue aren’t automatic but fit and firing I just can’t see how they wouldn’t be.Sturt definitely, think there are arguments I’d accept for the other 2, it’s a pretty stacked backline when all fit, tough 7ish to break into.
Sturt honestly is going to be so important to our forwardline, I can see him kicking 30-35 goals next year if heplays most of the year, as well as setting up another 1 or two each game. The lack of updated info coming out on him since Christmas has me very very worried
Still in rehab and slow recovery post surgery. Would expect a delayed start. From memory they tried the non-surgical route first which didn’t work and then had late season surgery.Sturt definitely, think there are arguments I’d accept for the other 2, it’s a pretty stacked backline when all fit, tough 7ish to break into.

you raise a great and original point biggerLogue is absolutely best 22. He was epic in the games he played last year and he's not even close to how good he's going to be.
Players with his athletic profile can bully the game and I think he laid to rest any doubts around his footy smarts last year.
I think if he can stay on the park he's going to go down as one of our best "roughy" first round selections, ditto Sturt.

AFL 2021: Fremantle Dockers are still deciding how to juggle Sean Darcy and Rory Lobb in the ruck
Braden QuartermaineThe West Australian
Fremantle ruckman Sean Darcy says he’s fitter than ever as he prepares for a return to 20-minute quarters this season.
Darcy said the Dockers were yet to decide how to split ruck time between he and Rory Lobb this year.
It shapes as a key tactical issue for coach Justin Longmuir, with Lobb underwhelming when stationed mainly in attack last year but likely to again be required as a tall target given the lack of key forward options.
Darcy said the pair were in discussions with Longmuir and ruck coach Aaron Sandilands about the club’s ruck strategy.
“I’m keen to play forward as well as play ruck. So me and Rory, we’re in talks with Aaron and JL,” he said.
“We’ll see how the pre-season goes. But I always love playing ruck. I love being in the middle and going as much as I can.
“Rory’s a really good long-distance (athlete), he can jump really high. And I like to use my strength a little bit more. So I feel like we work well together as a pair and it’s good for us against the opposition.”

Darcy, 22, made an instant impact on the AFL scene with his big body and tap nous, but has strived to become more mobile to boost his influence around the ground.
He said he had made significant gains during a so-far uninterrupted summer.
“I feel like I’m covering the ground a lot better. I’m not as tired in training. I’m thinking a lot more clearly, making the right decisions,” Darcy said.
“My approach has just been to get as fit as possible. Make sure I’m healthy, make sure I’m out training every training session.
“I’ve had a lot of pre-seasons where I’ve come back fit and then I break down in January and I’m out for about eight weeks, which really affects you during the year.”
Darcy described the current pre-season as the toughest he had done and said skipper Nat Fyfe’s return to training this month had driven the players to a new level.
Intense competition for spots leading into round one had also placed importance on every session.
“I think this is probably the most intense pre-season while I’ve been here, in terms of drills, tackling and going at each other fully,” he said.
“We’re trying really hard to go at each other, because that’s how we’re going to improve.
“I feel like we’ve gone up another gear and that’s probably from Fyfey. Fyfey’s come back in really good shape, he’s leading the way. He’s been really intense.”
And then Lobb can just focus on his forward craft, and perhaps not be so exhausted when lining up for goal.Be nice to see how Lloyd Meek goes. Maybe a better ruck than Lobb.
