I have seen him walking around the concourse after matches a number of times so yes, was likely him.

I reckon this is great.
It should be clipped and shown to the world everytime West Coast get thumped moving forward.
Not that Tossage had any credibility to start with.
But the Clown has made himself a meme/joke with that statement for the next 5-10 years.

Yep. Unless they can get some decent key positions players, they are cooked for 3-5 years.

Allen to come back and is 25.
It will be interesting to see what happens with Waterman when he comes back. Waterman is in career best form but I just don’t see him sustaining that.
Reid, Ginbey and Long plus ???????
They have a decent midfield, but their structure in the WAFL is a massive concern.
Simpson created many problems being too close and personal with his star players.
That gap between youth and seniors is just getting sorted.
It’s why he has had success but there is a void once the old boys retire.
How long before a Schofield or Shuey take over?
Maybe they will be very good but it takes at least 5 years and it’s realistically year
one.

Last year and the start of this year Fyfe had developed a habit of trying to hold onto the ball too long to try and break tackles and was often caught holding the ball. Against the Bulldogs it was noticeable how damaging his quick handball was, especially forward of the play. That one in the last quarter through the ongoing traffic along the ground straight to Freddy to set up a goal was a thing of beauty. Do you think one of the coaches helped with the change in how he went about it?
Danielle Laidley’s player ratings: Every West Coast Eagle and Fremantle Docker ranked for round seven

Nat Fyfe and Caleb Serong both produced performances for the ages - so which one deserves top spot in Danielle Laidley’s player ratings? See how she assessed every Docker and Eagle here.
FREMANTLE
1. Nat Fyfe: 9Wound back the clock in a stunning display. Had 37 disposals, seven clearances and 10 score involvements, which has been the missing link over the last few weeks.
2. Caleb Serong: 9
A club record 17 clearances, supported defence and then ran hard to link play through the midfield.
3. Andrew Brayshaw: 8
Busy early, 30 touches, 11 score involvements, pushed forward for four inside-50’s, missed a few opportunities to goal and put the icing on the cake for his game.
4. Josh Treacy: 8
Connected the midfield and forwards with powerful link play and marks. He was a tower of strength.
5. Bailey Banfield: 7
Showed class, was busy up the field linking the play, was able to finish off his work with clutch goals.
6. James Aish: 7
Good mix of defending with nine intercept possessions, and offensive run and carry. Highly efficient with the ball, with seven score involvements.
7. Hayden Young: 7
Quiet start, worked his way into game to have an influence on the outside of the contest. Five tackles, five inside-50s and a goal to finish his work.
8. Jordan Clark: 7
Five score involvements from half-back was a feature, along with his run and carry. Had more than 600m gained, put the ball inside 50 five times for the game.
9. Sean Darcy: 7
Gave the Fremantle midfield an armchair ride at the clearances in his 100th game. Also followed up with tackles, recording eight for the game. Perhaps lowered his colours around the ground to Tim English at times.
10. Alex Pearce: 7
Golden fist of the night. Wasn’t able to take his usual amount of intercept marks, but the captain’s spoiling was a feature, which allowed the running defenders to influence the game.
11. Michael Walters: 7
Perhaps statistically he’s had better games, but I thought it was his best for the year. He went out of his way to make his teammates better with goal assists, tackles and effort.
12. Luke Jackson: 7
Seven score involvements and four shots on goal for 2.2 was a good reward. Hunted and gathered well when in the ruck.
13. Luke Ryan: 7
Not at his intercepting best, but was able to find ways to bring the ball to ground and be involved in rebounding the ball from defensive 50. Always uses the ball to the highest standard.
14. Patrick Voss: 6
Six score involvements, two score assists, scored 1.1 with his 11 disposals at 82 per cent efficiency, a very good debut game.
15. Michael Frederick: 6
Looked dangerous in his first game back from injury, kicked two goals, had three tackles and six score involvements, turned the ball over at times.
16. Jaeger O’Meara: 6
Didn’t use the ball well in the first half, but played a significant role at half-back when the team lost Josh Draper and then Brandon Walker for a significant part of the game.
17. Heath Chapman: 6
Defended well against Cody Weightman before the Bulldog’s injury. Solid first up performance for the year, will be a valuable player.
18. Matthew Johnson: 5
Had 14 disposals, five score involvements and three clearances in his wing role.
19. Cooper Simpson: 5
Had six disposals, most of which were involved in score chains. Tackled well. A peek into the future for Fremantle fans.
20. Brandon Walker: 5
Defended well and provided ground level support early before going into concussion protocol, came back later to be a solid player.
21. Tom Emmett: 5
Solid pressure all game, five inside-50s, but more is required from the battering ram.
22. Jeremy Sharp: 4
Unusually quiet for the winger, having just nine possessions for the game.
23. Josh Draper: 3
Subbed out of the game with a leg injury.

Pretty harsh on Sharp too. Not his fault they ignored him. He ran 15.2km, 3 of those at high speed.Danielle Laidley’s player ratings: Every West Coast Eagle and Fremantle Docker ranked for round seven

I think it’s more the meeting with Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh .
I think the difference is less that he’s not holding on to the ball for as long but rather he’s not running through the congestion. He used to do that knowing that either he’d burst through or he’d draw multiple tacklers allowing him to get the hand ball out to a free teammate. Now he seems to evade the congestion and uses his phenomenal 360 degree vision to assess the options and shoot a laser handball to the best one. Remarkably sometimes that best option is through the congestion he used to try to run through — and he somehow makes it happen!
on top of that hes also finally been able to string some games together for the first time in a while, in his normal position as well! hasnt had a lot of time to get to know how serong/brayshaw/young play and hes also clearly more confident in his body and what he can do now. long may it continue
would love to see him nail a set shot too, will be the ultimate
I also think it's part of our midfield coaching instrution for the player to hold onto the ball when tackled for as long as possible if there are no obvious options. Idea being that you'd rather give the HTB free which provides that extra time to reset the defensive structure vs disposing of the ball legally but straight to oppositon who can then immediately go while our players are still surging forward.

Good call, he was definitely doing that in preseason games. For him to stay healthy he has to take some of that bash & crash out of his game & hit the first option as he has players around him now he should be able to trust & shouldn’t have to do it all.
He is now instigating 1-2’s which means he’s getting to where he wants too without having to crash through the opposition. Definitely an adjustment suggested by the coaches which will serve him well as the season continues.
