Is it normal for the boys to be on the beers this late into the pre-season? I've seen a few insta posts/stories from NicNat where he or the boys seem to be on the cans. Nothing silly, but I was under the impression the lads are all business this time of the year.

Excellent read. Thank you. Gets me all sentimental.
This was the game that got me hooked. I followed the footy a bit indifferently before this game. Yes, the Eagles were my team, I watched games here and there. Watched a few WAFL games too. But having arrived in the country a few years ago, I...
Well, we can't have our cake and our community too. Apparently.
At the end of the day, it's no local football club, it's a professional sports organisation. It pays it's dues in the form of royalties back to the WAFC and it's up to them to use those funds to promote the game. It's the...
When I was there a couple of weeks ago I was pretty excited to be there, although on reflection I now think I was just seduced by being able to touch what looked like the real premiership cups on display out the front. Surely they're replicas.
I do remember thinking that it seemed very sparse...
Have you tried going around to the gates on Bishopsgate St? The only issue with this is that you can't be on the 'private property' part of the facility, which is essentially the stadium fan viewing area. I hung around what looked like the ticketing building for WAFL games to the left of the...
Apologies for the dribs and drabs - clearly I make a shit reporter, but your mention of Waterman reminded me of another observation. He is becoming a bit of a unit. Looks to have bulked up across the chest, shoulders and arms a bit. Seemed to not be doing that thing where he looks like he is...
It didn't seem like he played much backward of centre in the match sim, but to be honest, I could've missed it too ....I was sort of at an angle that gave me better sight of what was happening in the back pocket of one of the teams, he could very well have been playing in the other team in the...
Seemed to start back of centre in the match sims, although interestingly they only had five in the back fifty, perhaps short on players?? He floated up the wings a bit, as did Duggan. It was Schoey, Hurn and Shep that held position in the back. I honestly couldn't say which group he was with...
Sorry about the delay in getting a report back from Monday. Wasn't in Perth long and hectic family schedule...by that I mean, getting to the beach and then stuffing my face with mum's cooking.[emoji108]
Got there around 10 and after I grabbed a coffee and H&C croissant from Laika, ambled over...
Excellent! Thanks man.
Will head down and see how I go, if for no other reason than in the hope that I get heckled by Simmo about my 12+ year old merch.
Don't want to get you guys excited, but last time I had a chance to checkout preseason training was 2018. So, yeah.

Agreed. And one of the best ham and cheese croissants I've had. Checked them out the last time I had a chance to get down to training. Hence the question....if the coffee's shit...I know where I'll be going first.

I don't do Twitter, do you know if they update the training sessions anywhere else? I'm in Perth next Monday (20th) and was hoping to get to the session.
More importantly, what's the coffee at the venue like? Ain't got time for no shitty coffee while I'm watching a training session...
Giants were woeful tonight. Two ruck strategy (especially with those two) was a mistake in that weather. How shite was Mummy though? I get he's old and can't jump over a jam tin with those dodgy knees but, FMD don't think I've ever seen a 120kg, experienced ruck get pushed under the ball that...
Surely he does. Seems so close to getting a taste, has played in the Simmo system for a few years and provides excellent depth at the very least given Hurn and Jetta's age profile as well as potential injury issues down the track. And as a Cat B rookie came at little cost. If big Horse has...

Hard not to love the big fella. Speaks so well, pretty humble and seems genuinely grateful to be at the club and getting a chance to show his wares. Nice to see a bloke in the system for this many years seem so wide-eyed.
Come on Hawkers!!! Bit Geez Smith has been ordinary tonight. Nothing but banging the ball long into shallow fifties. Must love his inside 50 stat.

I think what Nelson has over Cole is a bit of size. He is able to compete in the air a bit better and can Bullock his way through a contest. Agree, Cole a bit quicker and probably a better user of the footy. Not sure he would be able to compete in the air the way Shep does. Then again, not many...
I didn't mind the article either. Its essentially saying the stats show that if our uncontested chain of possession game style is taken away from us (pressure on disposal and pressure further up the ground) our poor ground ball game is exposed and limits our ability to find another avenue...
They should've been looking for a new coach some time ago. He has not been able to fix their flakiness over, what, 7 years? Doesn't seem to get much pressure from the media.
Adelaide would be nervous this week.

Bont's game. Geez! Only a few cms shorter than Richo but that one-hamded pickup off the deck at pace, made it look like he had his own dry ball in that slop.

Their pressure has gone through the roof. Ball use seems a lot better too. Haven't watched much of them but. The two games I've seen since Shaw has taken over they just seem to be a lot more composed with ball in hand....and manic without it.

Ah right, I see what you mean. Should've said tv is connected to the net and I tried streaming it through the browser but my connection is so shite that it was buffering every 20 seconds. Screw that.

Bro, unfortunately i have TVs and laptops with HDMI, also remembered (halfway through the game) I had bought a Wecast thingo years ago and never set it up. Tried to set it up at half time but I couldn't get it going and chucked the thing out.
Now I'm in the shit with the Mrs who wanted to go to...
...He'll sleep well on the flight back.
+ Darls. Huge effort in putrid conditions for talls. Clutch goals when needed.
+ Shep. This guy. I mean, ****! So, dare I say it, kamikaze and relentless. Every time he looks like he is out of the contest, he finds something. I reckon he would have to...
Add: if Hurn doesn't get you Jetta will. And hopefully as the year goes on: if Ryan doesn't get you, Willie will.
