Any sighting of AB. IMHO he is the key.

I know all sorts are creaming themselves over Serong being the next captain. But in 2022 when AB was the voice of the young we performed. He didn’t seem to have the same… authority this year and our midfield went backwards.

Yes broady wasn’t the same as we gave his spot to Ras or Jono. No we didn’t have Mundy. O’Meara didn’t slot in immediately etc. but we made all those choices believing we would make the finals. We believed in the youthful midfield. Is it a coincidence that when AB started to fire we won.

Wonder why he didn’t do the leadership stuff in the US.

Uncle got married, seemed like a massive family event (Hamish talked through it on a podcast)

Not sure if that event coupled with other focuses had him wanting to stay?

Officially the best time of the year as a Freo fan.
  • With no evidence to say otherwise, we've just drafted Chris Judd, Harris Andrews and Eddie Betts
  • Without an injury report, there are no injuries
  • We will win every match we play until Feb
  • <insert name> is TTHD and about to go to another level

Now, there's just no need for this cynicism.
 
Any idea how long before the new draftees will make the move over and hit the track? I can't recall from previous years.

Going to get down the Arc on Monday, apparently Sharp should be training with us by then.

The club knew what they were getting when they picked him up. He's never going to be a marathon runner - lets have us use what he's good at - winning the ball.

I think he's massively hard done by. Our midfield is better when he's in there getting us first use. Rather than try and mould him into something he's not, lets use his strengths and then cover his weakness in other ways, that's what good teams do.

Last year (2022) Brodie got the second highest possessions per minute on ground for anyone in the whole comp (for players who played 20 or more games). We need to get him fit and firing and back in the best 22

Yes he can do it wherever suits him best. He's not been required to join the young guys for several seasons now. He'd be expected to manage his own preseason fitness regime with club targets.

Curious that 4th year+ players need a mental break, but younguns don't.
It’s more that the young guns are coming from a low base, the more pre-seasons you do, the quicker you come up to speed with the next one. The older guys are more conditioned

Another player I want to keep an eye on this preseason is Williams. Hopefully he has put on some weight!

Not from what I saw, looked about as big as my 12yo.
(taller obviously, but very light)

I would have thought his uncle’s wedding would be part of the reason
