Pretty sure they had the review / exit interviews today before the BnF tonight. Would expect news to start getting louder after tonight.

Coffield seems like a Dev replacement to me. I would assume if talk of Coffield gets louder, it will be an indication of Dev going.

September membership gives you 1 or 2 extra guest passes as well i'm pretty sure.

If we are going to push forward as a team and be a legitimate contender, we have to learn to handle these kinds of games where there is all the opportunity in the world to relax and assume we will win. This is the kind of game where the boys should be sharpening their teeth and really going for...

Yeah very common knowledge for awhile that players go on a bit of a bender after games. He burn that many calories that they basically need to eat a bunch of crappy food just for the calorie intake. There is no way they would be on a calorie deficient diet otherwise they would lose muscle and...

Long season and early season form is usually pretty trash for all teams. The concern is the pattern of behaviour. If we don't dominate clearance and contested ball, we basically lose. I have a feeling a lot of those contested ball numbers come from winning the ball off the deck as well. We...

Not all hero's wear capes.

Cause and affect. They have been allowed to get away with so much for so long. Crack down on it, it will take a little bit of time, but they will adjust their actions so they don't give away free kicks. Get rid of off the molestation of players without the ball and the game would be a much...

Just smash them in the middle of the ground and they won't get the ball to their forwards.

I love how we were questioned for years about playing 3 talls, but the dogs go 4 and they are just gushing at the idea.

I think the other thing is our structure is different. Hard to pin point at this time having only watched on tv and not being able to see at the ends of the ground, but the likes of Kiddy, mckenna and Rich seem further up (link players), with the more contested ball winners deeper in defense...

For a practice game, it was noticeable. I'm sure they are just sticking up for the new kid, but there are some small signs that the players are hungry and just a little bit more confident this year.

Last hitout before round 1. Would expect us to be playing much closer to how we will line up to really lock in everything.

It pretty much backs up how it looked. Freo camp couldn't contain themselves. Neale was looking at options, but wasn't committed at that point yet. Those kinds of big family decisions do take some time. His manager would have done his job and done enough initial work IF they decided to go...

Fagan has well and truly earned enough credits by this stage. This year is probably the first year where i would say i have a very strong expectation on the side though. Last year we had injury issues, previous few we 'gave ourselves a chance' but didn't feel like we were ready for the big...
