Surely McGovern now that Barass has deserted the WC ship!

With Ryan Daniels ( suspiciously directly after Hamish’s radio show) confirmation we can all sit back and just await the announcement.

Darcy was clearly in a bad way at the end of last year and needed to lose weight and go about his training in a different way. All you can say is that he has done everything asked of him and he has progressed well and looks in peak physical shape. No one can guarantee anything but this is...

Nah, we prefer to give weight to the comments of Fred McGurk or some other WC fan that has heard that he is a certainty to go to St Kilda because of Ross Lyon!! I mean, what would his brother know? Yeah, hopefully settle some nerves.

In regards to whether Andy Brayshaw will sign with Freo, his brother Hamish Brayshaw confirmed months ago that he will be a Docker for life. He was asked again last night on 6PR Wide World of Sports he again confirmed that Andy will be staying and the club and Andy are actively working through...

Understand the concern but every session he has ticked of the boxes required and is now back in formal training (except match sim). He is progressing but it is clearly a very bad knee and they will not rush him this time. I believe everyone including Darcy is taking the injury seriously now (...

The headlines leading up to the news are interesting tonight. 7 media (Barich) never change, apparently Pearce has left open the opportunity to go to Tasmania rather than talk about the contract extension. Pav on 9 news at least says the captain shows his loyalty, what a difference in...

I’ll be interested in how it is reported in the news tonight (who am I kidding it will be all on the weevils training session). Some will take the dust up as a positive on how competitive our training is and without any other knowledge, that’s where I will leave it as they always seem great mates.

As per the other reports the standouts for me were Cooper Simpson (has bulked up nicely) and loved that he wants to kick the goal. Johnson especially but also Erasmus very solid through the midfield. You cannot help but be impressed with Carr, who really seems a bargain buy, takes a great...

Lots of discussion on Draper in this link. Certainly watching him at training today I was very impressed, he has added size but still very athletic and kicked beautifully. I can’t see him not playing, he is too talented and certainly could play tall or as a rebounding defender. I understand the...

I think the opposite, Port finished top of the ladder in 2020 and second in 2021 and (I think) went out in straight sets! They had the squad (still do) but Hinkley has been repeatedly out coached in the finals by better coaches, he has wasted one to two premierships opportunities and should of...

Love it!

The West has a rare ability to turn a great win into a totally unneeded insult to the opposition. How desperate are they nowadays to get a reaction, any reaction.

I really like that Ollie appears to have a great tank. If the club feels he has built himself up enough ( certainly still not bulked) I believe he can go past Davies in the pecking order pretty quickly. He was known as an elite mark of the ball in his selection year. One to keep a close eye on...

Snap

That might have been against Barry Cable ( I remember the crowd going off about his treatment on the day). Funny, think most of us wouldn’t mind that it happened now!

I presume that the second ripper is the draft steal in Reid.

Come on, someone must have been at training today. Gimme my report and tthd!!! :cool:

Sorry, that was the first training session with all squad members and as I said not all ran. I didn’t notice Simpson in the running, as in, not at the front of either group but it is also possible he didn’t run. He was training though.

He does, but we are paying a very very heavy price (draft picks) taking high profile players that are in contract.

Hmm, I thought the opposite, with Knobel gone I am expecting he will get offered an early contract extension ( must say from today’s pictures he is in ripping shape)

Darcy can’t churn out the laps yet but he is having a very specific program ( from a club provided biomechanic) to improve his core strength. The club have already said all this. I very much doubt he will be too chunky this year going by his work rate and the very specific program he is on. It...

So far public training has been on each Monday and Friday from around 9:15, probably don’t need to get there until 9:45 as the first 30 is just a warmup. But to be sure you need to check the Freo page on Monday.

Nope, the change of size was very noticeable at training. I am sad to say I particularly took notice of him side on to check and there is no fat. He will never have a Tracey body but it is clear he has worked hard before even pre-season.

Yeah, I had the same view watching him on Monday, was surprised at how good a runner he was. Very very early days but he just might pass Davies and become the next tall up.

I am most interested In whether the elite IQ and kicking skills of Murphy can make a real difference in the forward line. With our team, you Gotta love a player that is willing to take the kick on goal rather than pass the responsibility, we have two new players that are keen to take that...

Unfortunately was the other one (along with Darcy) that did the least at training. However, it was the view of the training watchers that Amiss and Sturt are the two that have bulked up the most. He looked in good shape and whilst he did not do a lot he didn’t have any apparent restriction...

They had two separate groups running in the time trials but certainly quite a few were also not doing the trials.

Yes I agree, we are now learning that growing up he was a small and a very skinny kid and no chance of selection in the under age representative teams ( rather than lacking ability). This has changed over the last couple of years and as a late developer he just may have more scope for...

Yeah his distance running was poor but he did seem to have some real speed when they moved into the full oval drills.
