So Igbo is a thing now. Noice

I love a new thing. We haven't had one for a while since the Johnson pointing days and when we had Jesse Crieyghaton playing for us.

At least crieyghaton is winning game with East freo now and playing better brand of footy.

That table? Sorry, I think it's reserved. You can't just walk off the street and grab a table...
I only saw the Freo game til half time, and then wandered up the street to watch Peel v Soufs. Don't get me wrong, even on the first half alone, both Sutcliffe and Igbo should be dumped, but I didn't see anything from Barlow or de Boer that would suggest they can gatecrash. Apeness will be good, possibly very good. In a few weeks. I like Nyhuis though, for what it's worth. I wouldn't be upgrading Tanner Smith in a hurry but there's something raw but good about Nyhuis, in the same way that I see it in Hughes.

You're not the 1st person who has said Nyhuis goes alright. I met him at the Carlton/Fre pre-game function. Very polite, well spoken young man. I wish him all the best.

Driven me crazy all year. Sonny is the only one who can kick right now.

There is another. According to the stats, Zac Clarke is running at 84% disposal efficiency this year. Seriously. I can't find a flying pig emoticon.

Really.. This week he ran at 80% which surprised me. We had 3 players kicking at better than 80% Ethan Hughes, Daniel Pearce and Lee Spurr. Hawks Had 8 including Frawley who managed 100%.

First time contributor here. Does anyone have even the remotest theory as to how two players (Mundy and Hill) have gone so far backwards this year in how they kick the footy? It just doesn't make any sense as both have been wonderful kicks for their entire careers up till this year.

I think it's just a mind thing. Disposal would have been spoken about so much behind the scenes that everyone is now feeling the pressure. Mundy is very odd though, given he is a veteran of the game.

 

[Schauermann]

From 5 disposals. Means 1 effective disposal each quarter...

 

[Alfonz]

Ahh Igbo ... takes me back to the good ol' days and my Polish grandfather's meltdowns about Phil Giblert.

I seem to remember it cropping up somewhere else, as another posters first post (long time lurker) in another thread completely AND it was a reply to another users post. Will try to find it (could have been edited/deleted)

That is just too funny. I wonder what the other 2 posts were? I'm still laughing.

As posted in the AGE today via Caroline Wilson

The club has brought in founding captain and recently retired football director Ben Allan to help oversee the list review which will come to a conclusion next month. Rosich, Lyon, football boss Bond, list manager Brad Lloyd, along with three club directors, have contributed to a new strategic list plan.

Great time for a strategic review of your list, at 0-8, shouldnt this have been an off season thing so we might have drafted or traded differently or is it just panic

Whovian will occasionally 'like' a comment. A great honor.

That was the post where I said I gave it a like for posterity. It then exploded with likes.

Rosich said the club remained resolutely behind Lyon's development skills and added that the fall from contention in 2016 had also freed up the coaching panel to work to implement the fundamental aspects of a revised game plan.

Nice to know our coaching panel is also freed up from the pressure of winning games now and can focus on developing a new game plan, what was the off season for, certainly not to get our skills better.

The Age article by Caroline Wilson, she probably makes a fair bit of it up like Hagdorn but she is quoting Rosich also
