    News Media Thread, 2024: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

    FI went to one of the ticketed Shelter Cast ones a month or so ago at the Leedy and honestly it was packed. I wonder if they'll pivot to those instead. Kind of bizarre too because I'm a podcast dork and I've been to a few live ones, mostly comedy, and that was by far the best looking (and...

    Duff was great when he had time to spin his wheels on the podcast. And I enjoyed him on ABC Sundays with Jake Niall and Malthouse(?). He's a real footy nuff, and thinks laterally, when talking about the Eagles he'd bring up the nuanced nuffy stuff that we debate on here - nobody else would do...

    Man, this post really tickled me. It's like some sort of brutal free verse stanza, each line building in disgust.

    Game Day Round 11, 2024: Waalitj Marawar vs Kuwarna

    Well that's enough for me, time for some late chores or literally anything else. But hey, it's the first game I've turned off this year, so baby steps I guess.

    Game Day Round 11, 2024: Waalitj Marawar vs Kuwarna

    Would have been nice for Kelly to show something after his away form was brought up this week but he really is dogshit outside of Perth. Yeo looked cooked the last couple of weeks before out injured, had come back and still looks cooked - would be very worried about a long term extension.

    It's clear we're actually pushing this now and the AFL is taking it seriously for the Vic clubs to arc up. I can guarantee it was leaked on the WA clubs' end. More broadly, I really hope Pyke is building a united front with Freo on this and other Non-Victorian issues. Absolutely moronic to...

    For sure excellent player, might have had more if he played more forward, my comment was on his age though - born 2000, barely makes the cut off.

    News Media Thread, 2024: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

    After Franklin, who imo is a GOAT contender, Kennedy really was the best of the players to start post-2000. Unfortunately injuries crueled the latter part of his career so the highs didn't last as long. Seasons with a 3+ goal average: Total: (0) (# Consecutive) - Tom Hawkins (0) Total: 1...

    News Media Thread, 2024: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

    It's interesting. I've always thought what distinguished Kennedy from his oft compared peers, Jack Riewoldt and Tom Hawkins, is that his peak was higher than both. And I think he's the only one out of those three that surpassed Buddy for a time when both were in their prime. So I like the 'peak'...

    I don't feel strongly either way but the talk of picking another kid/middling mature age player to bolster the WAFL is something that sounds good but in reality will amount to 4/5ths of fk all. The WAFL team is ****ed on every line. There's a lot more 'talent' this year and it's only slightly...

    Sorry Jakeb but is it very scarrrrrry death threats or a bizarre attempt at launching your media brand? Because I can't take you seriously when you voluntarily put your face out there - to say nothing of the 20 years too late ironic take on at a 70s newsman. This isn't My Lai, you aren't...

    Autopsy Round 9, 2024: Positives and Negatives vs Collingwood

    I think it's as simple as some players are leaders. They inspire those around them and have the authority, the presence and the ability to get more out of their teammates. We've got one on each line: Yeo Gov and Waterman(!) - probably Allen too but not as charismatic. They're worth more...

    What a tragedy, I always liked McCarthy, from a different mold than your average football player. A bit concerning that there's now been three ex-Fremantle players, by my count, who have gone far too soon. Certainly can't draw connections from what's in all likelihood a tragic coincidence...

    The West is obviously doing it as a bit at this point. I love a joke that goes past funny and all the way back through sheer poasting power. I could even imagine it happening on this very board. But it all gets a bit grotty when it's a kid right out of school, just give him a bit of air to be...

    Injury SJOGHCIU - Will the curse be lifted in 2024? LOL, not a chance. Rinse and repeat

    I did mine too, was excruciating. Lived in a small town at the time, so they only had an X-ray machine, maybe a CAT scan. Three or four years later we were mucking around playing 'rugby' on the beach, my idiot mate tackled me from behind while taking a break - had an almighty crunch, couldn't...

    Prediction Round 9, 2024: Changes vs Collingwood

    Yeo looked off in the Gold Coast game too, wouldn't be surprised if he felt a niggle then but felt it wasn't too bad and wanted to get up for his home 200th. If he's escaped with a minor injury take the win and add a couple extra weeks to whatever the prognosis calls for. Let's not play around...

    Autopsy Round 8, 2024: Positives and Negatives vs Essendon

    More than just general fitness, Ryan looks like a player who doesn't have enough confidence in his body to really push it yet - particularly with repeated sprints and opening up to his full pace. Genuinely not sure whether we play him for a few more weeks or WAFL him. But that lack of forward...

    Autopsy Round 8, 2024: Positives and Negatives vs Essendon

    Well that was a hell of a fight and some amazing performances from some. But **** me that Cripps reversal, and Yeo injury is deflating. Carrying too many passengers that are sapping our youthful verve. Sheed and Ryan just not fit enough. Particularly Sheed who through being Sheed or injuring...

    Sure but that's only $1.2M afaik and doesn't explain the other two. Three of the biggest clubs and $5M more than West Coast. Maybe balance sheet shenanigans but if those figures are real, that's a bizarre discrepancy.

    Certainly doesn't help when their entry strategy is straight up 2010s, 40 metres high and on their heads Woosha. And **** me I've been on the Dixon is shit train for for the better part of a decade. But at his hype height I remember comparing the stats and forget Josh Kennedy, he's a budget...

    I look at Willie now in a PA jumper and I feel nothing. It's like going through a bad breakup. You feel all the anger, frustration, miss-placed love and then you get over it, you find someone better and a few years later you see your ex pop up and she's with some very average SOB. Now just...

    I don't know mate. A decade of flat-tracking and crumbling under the first sign of pressure. No success. And yet he's completely protected by the normally rabid football media. It would drive anyone insane. And these are Port Adelaide fans.

    Prediction Round 8, 2024: Changes vs Essendon

    Sheed out is genuinely shocking. On form an obvious call but this is a huge shift, it's bigger than Gaff. Maybe the pin dropped earlier for Simpson but without the cattle he hasn't been able to do it. There's finally availability and he's done it. For me anyway, it's a massive confidence...

    That popped up in my Google suggested and it looked too crazy to be true for an 'entry level worker'. And of course it never describes what an 'entry level worker is' which doesn't even make sense in construction - it could be a labourer or a project manager or a specialised tradesman with 15...

    Tbh we aren't often linked to players we don't have a genuine interest in. Some don't get out but it's never wild speculation unless the sources is like Kane Cornes navel gazing. Hell, Zaharakis was apparently close and I thought that was bullshit.
