P Poor player retention, poor drafting, poor S&C performance over a prolonged period. Imagine if we had Hill, Langdon, Neale and Weller still playing for us tonight? McCluggage instead of Logue and McCarthy sitting in the hub? The guts to do something about our player availability? The fact...

What on earth are you talking about? You quoted me twice so I’m responding to you. You know... for the lols. You’re clearly just hanging out to shake your pom-poms in the cheer squad while making continual excuses for our failures so good luck to you.

Agree, none of this is JLo’s fault, it’s list management. Too many not up to it. But I’ve definitely enjoyed Young and tonight, Serong as well.

Maybe you aren’t making yourself clear? Your argument is that we’re trending up, you think staying in hotels for more than three days and our injury list is to blame for our 0-4 start? Have I missed anything? And you think my view is the simplistic one? JFC. I won’t be jogging anywhere chief.

But we do have the injury list we have. And we’ve had the same problems for a long, long time. Perhaps it’s you that has the shallow perception of things? You see your beloved purple boys on the field and think gee whiz if we could keep a few more goals we’d be winning? 0-4 is trending up. Righto.

What filled you with more delight tonight? Brayshaw’s 13 touches or Cerra’s 11?

Same. How do you think we’re going in year 5 of the rebuild?

You guys are really looking through rose coloured glasses if you think our performances so far this season have been positive. We are so far off the pace and tonight was further evidence of that. We had the unfortunate situation of getting two top five picks in a garbage draft during our rebuild...

Cop out.

Matera is suspended

Fyfe and Ballaz are the two that reportedly don’t get along. That’s the most unbelievable part of this rumour to me.

Jack’s still a bit too young to be drafted

This is almost certainly correct - one game in particular he couldn’t even get his foot to connect with the ball. Remarkable effort all things considered.

Schrodinger's cat

Not worth much now but was told yesterday Ballaz had already signed, just hasn’t been announced. Don’t mind it to be honest... ok backup in a position we are seriously lacking in. Liked what we saw from Switkowski yesterday and if Sonson can move back into a permanent fwd role and stay fit we...

Crowd management perhaps? After all, we can't be trusted with full strength apparently.

In fairness, it was the one that counted, and boy oh boy did he play well.

If you have a subscription to the AFL app you can get an add on for a Raspberry Pi that will allow you to watch it on your tv. Not great quality though since you’re blowing up a tablet sized stream to whatever size your tv is, but it’s better than nothing.

It is still exactly like this. Great place to get a haircut on a Friday afternoon though.

Freo with Shane Yarran?

Nick Rynne is good people. Actually knows what he's on about. Of course he's referring to keeping Fyfe in cotton wool for next season - I didn't think there was any question that that's what we did? It's just sensible management.

Think you've pretty much nailed it, though I'd have Crozier instead of Ibbo (I'm one of those long-time Ibbo haters/Crozier superfans though). Also possibly Tucker for Sheridan.

Is that a general rule or a coulda rule? Have the day off on Monday so was thinking of heading down with the dog.

Well yeah, I think Clarke's management would know they have us by the knackers. I'm certainly not a fan of Clarke, but you almost have to sign him now given the lack of a better option. As much as I love him, Griff is cooked and Sandi has 1-2 left absolute tops.

Unless we got in his ear and told him we'd give him $x if he refused to sign the offer from Geelong, so we can get him in the PSD. Not an expert in this stuff by any means but I wouldn't have delisted both Barlow and Silvagni (and left Clarke unsigned) unless I had my eye on someone in the PSD...

Going to miss him. Sort of took over from Groves as that big backman that's just a little bit psycho. A contender should pick him up just so he can play on Buddy in the finals.

Porzingod

Direct correlation, yes.

A journo mate of mine reckons there's only a couple that actually support West Coast. They just have to write about them non-stop to sell papers. Nic Nat = spikes in sales.

That was Haggers that said that, so don't forget the disclaimer.
