That's all you do here and your football opinions express views that are limited in football knowledge at best and at worst the most factually provably ridiculous of any poster who contributes here. Jackson excels and score assists due to how efficient he is with his disposal. Lobb is a...

Also to be fair. His actual arguments are normally overly simplistic and he has pretty limited knowledge on football. Eg. Full fitness Luke Jackson showed last year how ridiculously good he can be when fully fit. He was in our top 3 in our best and fairest up until around Round 9 and in the top...

For what its worth I was told by numerous people watching in the small shaded stand last Saturday that Luke battled tonsillitis for the last seven weeks of the season and also had a shin complaint.I think he's 100% on track to be an absolute gun with a good run with injury.Eg the first six weeks...

Neale and Serong way ahead of Bell and Haseby in my opinion. Hasleby had some good games but he was a defensive liability at times with his running. Bell got exposed by two way runners too plus he was hardly damaging by foot with his 30 metre kicks.

Here's my promised training report from today's match sims. I watched about 2/3's of the match sims so didnt see everything. Many players were wearing hats making player identification even more difficult. A ton of players weren't involved. Narkle, Sturt, Walker, Luke Jackson, Sean Darcy were in...

For what its worth Im not low on Johnson its more I'm a fan of Erasmus and Reid in a big way. Erasmus is looking superb and Reid could be too good to leave out. Its only training form so far so Ill obviously wait and see.

Yep ahead of Fyfe and Johnson from the team that played most weeks last year.

If training form is anything to go by Id have Reid in the 22 ahead of Mathew Johnson. Reid is quality with ball in hand. I simply want him in the team.

I watched about 2/3 's of the match sim so I missed some of the play but Raz was superb in what I saw. Really is moving well and his skills were terrific from what I saw. Ollie Murphy had a few tremendous moments at training today including a wonderful smother. Murphy Reid looked tremendous too...

He's actually very quick in terms of top speed and Telstra Trackers stats.

I know it doesnt mean he will in the regular season but in last weeks match sims Bolton seemed to spend nearly 50% of his time onball and 50% forward. He looked fantastic at centre bouncedowns.

I really hope so. My tip to be our most improved player in 2025 is Erasmus. .

I think he'll be in the team Round 1. Lets see how it plays out.

Here's a few extra points to add to what I said in my original training report. I said this in the injury thread but its also relevant here. In regard to the Darcy comments. For whats its worth Im quoting a person who spoke to our new ruck coach Sam Naismith numerous times during training breaks...

I said this in my training report which would appear to support what you are saying. 'For a player Kane Cornes seems to think could miss the year Sean Darcy sure looked great watching him live 30metres away. He ran a ton of laps to finish the session and also joined in training drills bar the...

I think one of him or Cooper Simpson could play early on in 2025 say Round 4. Cooper really is great with ball in hand too. We need more skills in the team not just Bolton being added to the team. I think Murphy Reid and Cooper Simpson could be rivals for the sub jacket early in the year and...

I agree with all this from King Huski. Late training report here. Havent done one for a far while. i arrived at the start of the match sim. Hot blustery conditions. Skills were really good considering the conditions. Its really difficult to identify all the players as many wear hats but some of...

Yeah not really. Achieves nothing and you miss out on some of the great work by the Freo social media team. This is more a shout out to the excellent Freo Dockers social media team than a political statement. They do a great job. Also if anyones interested tomorrow training time is...

Its all speculation an opinion obviously but Id have a few differences.My list is different to yours in that Im grading what I predict will be the performance level of players. I have higher expectations for Erasmus and Johnson due to how they both look great according to training reports. Im...

No. I was quoting a quick one hour of training all Ive seen and on twitter so I wouldnt have thought anyone would be making a comparison. I havent seen much of Charlie Nicholls was my point. For whats its worth twitter doesnt allow for much detailed explanation. I would have added these views...

I havent been down yet this preseason. Ill get down next week. Ive been quoting some of the training reports but I havent done one yet.

I think this guy could yet be Alex's replacement. So Im talking 4 years time. Charlie has a ton in common with Alex Pearce in terms of where he's at in development when drafted. Both had late growth spurts, both drafted around the same position, both athletic but super skinny, both not great...

Mine would be the Melbourne game in Round 12 as I think it shows what we are capable of in terms of team effort.

Im not sure if more of the blame for Sean playing at a heavier weight than now was due to coaches wanting him to be big and strong. Last year there were changes to ruck rules that allowed more contact at centre bounces. I think potentially some of the coaches saw his strength and size as a...

We also have a potential game changing ruck combo. Ive watched a few replay games and geez Luke Jackson was fantastic early on with his movement around the ground in our first 5 games but he was playing around 80%+ of the game time in ruck and was clearly effected by persistent soreness in games...

Have to say start to the preseason has me even more optimistic than when we got Bolton. I know Jackson and Young have had interruptions to their programs since the end of last season but all our other key players look well and truly on track and Jackson is already in main training so plenty of...

Freddy and Sturt too with Young and Serong rotating forward. Ive had a chance to watch a few replays including a few of the early games. Geez our kicking into the forward line was terrible early in the season and the last 4 games. Early on we missed Freddy on the lead so many times or he was...

I pretty much agree with this bar one position as I think we'll play 7 defenders so one of Wagner or drop would miss out in my 22. I think Draper is capable of massive development in 2025 while also being highly capable of playing on smalls. Due to how highly I rate Draper Id predict Wagner...

A late first round pick will be taken in the late first round bar free agent compensation in 2025 due to bid matching changes . Many clubs were unhappy with the draft compensation given to StKilda this year and North Melbourne the year before (including Carlton and Collingwood) so for that...
