GF 15...look at Kennedys game....Rnd 2 this yr against Hawks...look at Kennedys game....as examples.

Franklin will find away to get involved. Kennedy needs all the i's dotted and all the T's crossed to put it together.

He is a flat track pro...like our Group.
Nice work

Pick and choose your games to suit your argument.

I could do the same but you're simply not worth my time.

I bid you adieu.

Well, let's say we look at contested marks in finals, by way of measuring this. Franklin has 39 in 20 finals appearances, just under 2 per game, Kennedy has 17 in 9 finals appearances, just under 2 per game.. Fairly similar I would think.
9 Clearances to Franklin, 4 to Kennedy, roughly 0.5 per game each. 64 goals to Franklin, 19 to Kennedy, so I agree, Franklin has him well covered there, but my point is I don't subscribe to the Franklin is a mental powerhouse and Kennedy a mental midget theory of yours.

I agree he is what we need, and we should have made a major play, in fact I believe we were very interested, a few years ago when he seemed to want out of Richmond, but I reckon there was a lot going on his head because of his father, at the time. When Nic Nat is up and about, and no one could have foreseen the knee injury, do you not think he is exactly that kind of player?
Yes and no. Nic applies big pressure at the contest...but i truly believe his inability to bring it for 4 quarters is what makes him B+. If NN had Coxes tank id agree with you 100%...but he doesnt...and he has another slight which is his poor kicking technique. But yes, if Nic had Mastos tank (now there is a spud player) Nic would be huge even without an A+ kicking technique.
I realy think we have a culture problem at WCE...our group thinks its better than they are.
Kennedy saying "oh Leccas got another yr on his contract so he will be playing "...like realy Josh. It doesnt matter what your surname is...if you deliver the tripe Leccas dished up this yr you belong at EP...or off the list.
We arent hard enough on each other at WC.

Nobody was game to take on Martin. GWS gave him a full tour of their facilities, then decided they weren't interested. That's a team that hasn't been afraid to recruit troublemakers - look at Heath Shaw and to a lesser extent Stevie J. Must have been something pretty major going on behind the scenes.

..unfortunately. ...that argument just reinforces our clubs softness. The only thing that counts is winning big games. If we dont have players that are capable. ...why on earth percevere with them.

I'm general a conservative, crusty old bastard, but I would have pulled the trigger on that one and yes, made it difficult for someone because I would have said, ok, now we've got to change his attitude, oh by the way, that's your job. :straining:;)

That is quite possibly the dumbest comment I have ever seen on big footy WUUBLY DUUBLY. You are saying OK, unless you perform in big games you are out? Every single club would be bereft of players. Bontempelli was bog average on Saturday night, so would you get rid of him from the Bulldogs, along with Stringer?

Mate - do yourself a favour. Put your head down your dunny, press "flush" to give your mind a refresh.

Same shit with selective comments without much substance.

Or perhaps you are not picking up feedback.

....of course not...after one particular final no

So, your criteria is now 5 finals in a row, not just one final? Wasn't Kennedy good, and the whole team, in last year's QF and PF? That means they are worth persevering with, no? Name me one team where everyone performs in finals, all the time.

...forget the Perth finals....look at Melbourne finals when the pressure is on...

A serious question WUUBLY DUUBLY did Bontempelli play average against the Eagles? I would say yes. Now, let's see if he's delist material if he has an average GF, which would be 3 in a row.

On talking footy they seemed quite convinced that Collingwood were offering Chris maybe $2m over 4 years which despite its obvious stupidity also means that Fremantle will end up with a 2nd round compo pick which would be pick 22

For Chris ******* Mayne

..Swannies....Bontempelli carved Hawks up on the weekend mate
..did you see that game???

Ok...maybe lets look at it another way.
Lets do this....leave WCE coach/player group as it is.

Im sure the group can improve.

Think that's an excellent idea.

(Not the offering Mayne $2m part, that's absolute ludicrousness)
I've seen that figure bandied about but have also seen $1.2m over 3 years which seems more realistic

Personally I don't think the $2m is right because I've seen his manager say they haven't received any offers and are still talking to clubs - surely if he had that offer on the table he'd have signed it already
