    So Tyler Welsh kicks 3 vs the Allies, kick 8 in the Colts on the weekend yet has dropped out of the top 25? Crows would be licking their lips.

    You live in dreamland I mean, you are 100% correct and it’s such a glaringly obvious solution. But this is the AFL.

    You'd think Freo were sitting top two the way posters are going on about them (and the way some of their posters talk about their side). Will most likely be sitting outside the 8 after the bye rounds.

    Worst forward line, midfield, and defence to win a premiership in the AFL era?

    North in 96 had a very workmanlike midfield. Schwass, Rock, Freeborn, Stevens, Simpson. Not bad players by any means but not the top of the line players. Great bookends though and pretty much no passengers in that team.

    To be honest not gonna complain about Collingwood or Geelong mortgaging their future for one more flag just before Tassie comes in. Pies would come out of it better than the Cats though.

    Harley Reid had a sad Birthday, has Pivitonian written all over him.

    I agree with the sentiment, but I’d still rather push a Oscar back than be forced to play the likes of Aiden Corr there ala North if we have no one else, and have a plethora of capable forwards.

    Not sure we can base much on games we are getting flogged by 100 and having 20 inside 50s against in a quarter. I am talking about in 3 years when hopefully we are contending and we need winners all over the ground.

    Thinking about the KPD issue we all seem to be aware of in the future. If Jake can maintain 75% of his current output, J Williams comes on to be a good player as he certainly is looking like, A Reid comes on and fills his potential and Bailey starts playing forward the majority which is the...

    If swapping pick 4 or 5 nets us a KPD with 9 (who is worth that pick) and a decent mid with 10 we will hopefully do it in a heartbeat. A lot will depend on how the year plays out for the potential draftees.

    Unrestricted Free Agent Elliot Yeo [UFA 2024]

    I'd imagine a lot of that has to do with them offering an extra year?

    Rumour 2023 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 37!, 1 (busted) BIG FISH ALERT last October 9th) (9 confirmed! 17 Busted!)

    Sorry to intrude. Yeo is very wealthy. Comes from a wealthy family and has made shrewd business decisions. I think it would be more the years than $, but there would also be a bit of 'respect' in terms of being offered a fair figure. I'd be very surprised if the $ offered by a rival interest...

    That's good. Young enough to hate Freo as opposed to simply pity them, and too Young to remember 92 or 94.

    Warner was an East Freo product wasn't he? Do we know if he was a Freo supporter? I know it isn't always super important, but I'm confident to say that if both teams are interested then the players usually select the one they followed.

    Also worth pointing out he didn’t say it was the worst birthday because Perth is sleepy and he wanted to hit the town and Crown in Melbourne. He missed his family, which may have been the same for him in Melbourne. Missing Tongala is not the same as missing Vic.

    OP can we start getting strikethroughs on the options already dead and buried by round 10? Cheers

    To be honest I wasn’t aware this was ever actually in dispute. Up there with the Reichstag fire when it comes to official story vs real story

    Player Watch Harley Reid isnt leading the rising star so far

    We may also be fortunate that getting him over is coinciding with Victoria becoming the ‘sick man of Australia’. Melbourne house prices dropping, negative immigration to the state, government instability. There has been a recent trend of Victorian players leaving vic clubs and heading to other...

    I am sure if he did leave he would want the club to get the best deal like Judd and Danger. I am sure Kelly would have similar sentiments that we don’t try and screw over the Cats.

    Hewett gives me the impression he thinks he is just as good as Harley. I have the feeling he will be doing his darndest to show it.

    Harley Reid - The Prince of Perth

    I think he is more likely to stay at West Coast than he would have been to stay at North. let’s face it we will match any $ per contract offered. And we can offer more than anyone outside of his contract. If he settles well in Perth then the desire not to uproot in the middle of his career may...

    I don’t think ‘back to Melbourne’ is the correct term. I don’t think he has ever lived there. Fox Footy had on their chyron that Harley Reid was returning to his ‘hometown’ when we played the dogs. Just hopeless. Eagles getting confused and heading to Tongala would explain our performance that...

    6 wins and a percentage of 75+, and pick 3 will be a great season. For me, the percentage is probably more important than a couple of extra wins. I’d be happier with 4 wins and 76% than 6 wins and 60%. It was the complete floggings that really hurt. Losing games after a sustained period of...

    Speculation Luke Davies-Uniacke (RFA 2025)

    Not in anyway bagging those players, but LDU comes in and is your second best mid. And means you have two very, very good players in there right away (accepting some of those you have named could develop into great players). If you can afford him you’ll take him, and it will be good business.
