My question still hasn't been answered. Who the **** is Josh Garlepp?

My question still hasn't been answered. Who the fu** is Josh Garlepp?

He's that producer dude on the Duff & Quarters (& Skeet who I wish they would get rid of again) that always tries to interject stories about himself into the conversation. Fascinating.

Wonder if he'll be tweeting a screenshot of this post..

Yeo must be damaged goods with that groin if WC are looking at trading him. Buyer beware

But our record on bringing back players from long term injuries is outstanding.....wait, what?

 

[Joao]

Yeah it is probably a little harsh.

Hey Josh Garlepp can you please get rid
of Mark ‘Skeet’ Readings from the pod. His football knowledge is worse than yours.

Hearing stuff I like in the Worst today including:

JLo:
“Two years ago we drafted Victorian players with our picks, (and) last year was largely based around WA players. We will continue to look at best available but clearly and ideally when you draft WA kids there is no go-home factor so we will continue to look at all that stuff,” he said.
“It doesn’t help any of our interstate players not being able to get their families over to Perth or being able to go and see their families without doing two weeks’ quarantine. The last couple of years have been really tough for our interstate families and interstate players.”

Bell:
“It’s still disappointing to lose players but the primary result is we continue to build a program where they can be the best they can be. If players decide they do want to leave, it’s incumbent on the club to get the best result for Fremantle as we saw with the Brad Hill situation, where we saw the draft collateral turn into Caleb Serong

Jon Ralph, Glenn McFarlane and Jay Clark
"Carlton’s Sam Petreveski-Seton has not drawn interest from Fremantle despite speculation so would be unlikely to be part of a Dockers package."

So I'm taking that:

• no SPS
• WA focus again likely in the draft
• Bell will push negotiations, and probably less interest in crabs from Carlton than picks (I'm probably reaching a bit more on this one)

Draft picks are the go but leaves us vulnerable again if we can't leave most of our best 22 out on the park...
It's up to strength and conditioning and luck..

I hear ya but I think there's no hiding from it. Losing Cerra has set the rebuild back. But filling holes with substandard (ability wise, mental state, or applicability) trade in players is something we have a lot of experience in and repeating the same mistakes would be folly. I would take a Serong and Freddie any day for a good mid that is exiting even if it further delays overall results. We seem to be good at drafting recently and we should stick we are good at.

 

[BettercallSaul]

The under age state game is back on apparently according to the West but behind pay wall. Anybody have any details?

Thanks Way to Go. Do you have access to the whole article with times etc?

WA’s first game was supposed to be against the Allies in Sydney on July 31 before taking on South Australia on August 7, but both fixtures were pushed back.

Instead of a Sunday game as last planned, the WA v SA clash will be Saturday from 1pm.

The Black Swans’ two games against Vic Metro (September 24) and Vic Country (September 28) in Melbourne are also likely to be moved or re-scheduled.

First-round draft fancy Neil Erasmus is set to play, despite a nasty corky and knee hyperextension in his final PSA match for Hale School against Scotch College last Thursday.

Erasmus has pulled up well and will form a star-studded midfield alongside Subiaco colts premiership teammate Matt Johnson, East Perth bull Kade Dittmar and East Fremantle/Aquinas College ace Corey Warner.

Eighteen members of the squad have been invited to the AFL draft combine, with the WA leg to be held in Perth on October 17.

Saturday’s match will be a strong test for the West Aussies against a powerhouse Croweaters outfit including pick one fancy Jason Horne-Francis.

The powerful midfielder is one of several first-round draft prospects for the highly-rated SA including South Adelaide teammates Matthew Roberts, Arlo Draper and Port Adelaide father-son prospect Jase Burgoyne (son of Peter).

WA’s leadership group will be announced on Thursday evening.

Yep, I'd rather miss out on finals next year but have an actual decent period of success than trying to top up now. We've lost three decent high profile players recently in Weller (High Profile Trade), Neale & Hill. The time we got burnt is when we used the currency to top up. You generally get more than they are worth so if spend wisely, it will improve your list long term.

Less injuries would more than cover Cerra (Fyfe a decent replacement). Head to the draft and maybe we have a good run for once as well.

I deadset just fast forward through skeet now, same rambling nothingness every episode

Yeah that's true.

Duff was pretty good on freo though on yesterdays podcast. That last performance simply wasnt acceptable and leaves a sour taste for all freo fans in the summer.

And i agree with him the acid is on the S&C this summer to get everyone fit especially Joel Hamling. Everyone is sick and tired of Fremantle carrying injured players constantly who dont get on the field year in year out.

Started with Morabito, Bennell, Alex Pearce, S Hill and now Hamling. Now some of those are unavoidable. But nearly all those players have gone through at least 2 seasons on the list without playing a game or in stephen hill case 28 games in 4 years

 

[tonygeeks]

Yeah it is probably a little harsh.

I dunno listening to him trying to read those listener questions is an assault on the ears

his ability to talk for a minute without really saying anything is frankly impressive. the point I stoped listening as regularly as I used to, was one week Duffield asked the others a question and readings just rambled for a minute and ended up asking the exact same question Duffield did.

Duff's usually good but that wasn't. It was so amazingly predictable because it was exactly how our form went all year. To have any other result would have been unlike the rest of the year.

If we played another home game against a club below 6th this week we'd probably win and that wouldn't change my opinion either.

Lost me at the ... get one of Amiss, Erasmus or Benning and then one of Williams, Van Rooyen and Cripps ...

I think Hase is spot on there.

We will get benning late in the draft.
It’s only the top 20 bid rule for him right? Not the 40?
