I’m listening to the Duff and Quarters pod and just want to say -

I hate Mark Readings.

Stick Motlop in the ammo’s for the rest of the season

Get a doctor to write a letter stating that he wouldn’t cope with moving. Worked for Bailey Smith! Of course if that happened the Vic clubs would scream “draft tampering“ and the AFL would come down on him like a ton of bricks.

The AFL is soooo soft when it comes to this sort of stuff. They just let the Vic clubs write the laws. They brought in the academies because the Vic clubs got FOMO and tearfully ragewhined about the Northern Academies. Now they're winding it back because of more Vic FOMO. Suck it up and get some Kleenex.

Melbourne Metro should be excluded too, it's fair.

Yeah but they figure the indigenous talent is greater in non-Vic-metro. That's the point. They continually whittle it down to suit their own FOMO. You could argue that there's a greater immigrant population in Melbourne. Why not include that too?

Just found a youtube video which is over 4 years old but I've never seen it before.

50 great Fremantle Marks in chronological order. (up to 2017). Which ones can you remember, or which have you forgotten?

I could remember Koops taking a beauty, but I'd forgotten there were another couple of marks around the same time frame.

Think there's a couple of Paul Medhurst marks that I can remember that are missing. One in his first game which was a Rd 1 Derby - and another one against the Bulldogs in an away game that was overshadowed by a Nathan Thompson mark on the same weekend.

Paul Medhurst. My favourite player at the time. I was so cut when we traded him.

 

[dropbear101]

Robbo has had a non fatal heart attack apparently, so you won't be seeing him for a while

I actually saw an old clip of him from about 7/8 years ago. I reckon hes had one already. voice was crisp with little slurring and he talked at a much faster rate.

Paul Medhurst. My favourite player at the time. I was so cut when we traded him.

I felt the same disappointment. I still keep thinking the moment he was drafted what a crucial part of the team he was going to be for years. We had struggled to find players that could stand up to the pressure of kicking in front of goals. Remember those run ups that Brodie Holland used to have. Medhurst was a true goalsneak.

I reckon we got conned into it by the commentary on our games. Whenever we would lose they'd single out the reason being that good teams can't have 2 small forwards (Medhurst and Farmer) and how it would never stand up in finals. What a joke that is now.

We didn't bother seeing him through his form slump. Just gave him away as part of that Tarrant deal.

And Perkins at Essendon

It's certainly gone downhill since he came on.

Duff, Quarters & Yoko.

I remember watching this and thinking that Koops mark vs. North Melbourne was one of the best I'd seen.

First Docker opts out of AFL quarantine life

Veteran defender Reece Conca will be the only Fremantle player available for Peel for the next two rounds after the rest of the Dockers squad opted to go into self-quarantine to remain eligible for AFL selection.

Really starting to feel like we're not playing him so he doesn't hit a trigger

He decided to opt out, you don’t know his reasons but the fact that he’s the only one suggests he chose to and wasn’t pushed.

Not playing him because of a potential contract trigger was made up by a poster that has form when it comes to conspiracy theories.

He's certainly made it harder for "Fremantle apologists" to listen to. Half the Pod is now sly digs with Duff trying to be a voice of reason. WTF is an apologist

Found it funny a few weeks ago he swore black and blue that since Malthouse came over in the 90's his passion for the eagles had waned - and yet this week i cold have sworn i heard him say "we" when referring to an eagles subject.

 

[estibador]

I think Conca has been told he's not getting re-signed so he probably figures why bother going into quarantine.

I reckon he understands his fate. He probably felt he was a dead man walking from the first time he got dropped this season.

 

[Taylor]

Maybe Reece needs to be close to home.

He was shocking for Peel on the weekend which never helps.

Didn't Duff say on an episode of his pod that the contract trigger theory was bs?

No idea but the fact we gifted him a game as sub should have put the theory to bed.

 

[Dockeroo]

Conca will be delisted because he’s not very good.
Simple as that. There’s no conspiracy.
Probably the worst disposal by foot on the entire list apart from maybe Blakely.

 

[Taylor]

I don't think Conca has a bad kick, I think his ambition exceeds his ability as he tries to pick off the kick inboard and can't pull it off. I know it's a subtle difference.
