    Live Event 2017 AFL Draft - #2, #5, #42, #60, #66, #70, #77, #80, #90

    How about this question: If Naughton weren't from WA, would he rate so highly in Freo's estimation? We're pretty stocked with defenders. Plus, with all the love Naughton has for Collingwood -- himself and his family members, guess which club he'll nominate to be traded to after a potential Free...

    Bless you, Kenny! How many years have I been saying the SAME, EXACT, THING about playing Fyfe forward, for the SAME, EXACT reasons you're saying. Thanks for making me feel like I'm not alone in the wilderness and entirely nuts in having that opinion! :thumbsu: https://gph.is/2aItcco

    NFL 2017 NFL - Week 1

    I'm very happy for Bobby Bonilla. Not because I admire him as a player, but because he did what all of us should do and what all of us should be blessed to have -- a representative who truly looks out for a client's best interests. Good on Bobby Bo for choosing wisely when picking an agent!

    Toast Farewell to Subiaco Oval.

    Mate, you nailed it! Yes, I DEFINITELY was as happy as 4-year-old at Disneyland. You and everyone else who welcomed me helped make it such a joyous occasion. I'm saving and hoping to return next year to see the new Perth Stadium in its debut year -- hopefully in June or July we'll have a home...

    Please refresh our memories! Who was "our most talented youngster"? I remember Lachie Neale being the sub. Who got dropped?

    Reading about Jason Carter, it seems he won't be available for us to draft until 2018. Wonder if Oscar Allen will still be there at our turn and if he's worth taking the risk on, with our Rd 1 pick.

    Would JJ Be "Dyn-o-mite!" at Freo?

    Nats' manager Dusty Baker is no Ross Lyon when it comes to bluntness, sardonic wit and occasional caustic verbal jabs at news reporters, but it's a bit rare for an MLB manager to indirectly (yet publicly) lobby management to get him help via trade. As for the guys out there trying to do the job...

    Hey, mate! Which Fogarty? Darcy, from Glenelg, or Lachlan, from Western Jets? Both are written up well today on the AFL website, by Callum Twomey. I read his report on Brander and see why you'd like him. How do you and others rate Oscar Allen and Hunter Clark?

    Would JJ Be "Dyn-o-mite!" at Freo?

    Really good point. I remember even as JJ was on his way to winning the Norm Smith, he turned it over a ton of times. Still, with his speed, energy and knack for delivering on the big stage, he's an intriguing one to consider bringing in — or not.

    Hey, miss you, too! Working on getting out US edition of my book, "Jumping At the Chance," (out later this month) about the American boys and girls in AFL competitions. Hopefully next year, Katie Klatt (playing at Melbourne Uni now) will make history as first American born-and-bred woman in...

    People said the same things about Brad Hill except, of course, the "shit haircut" part. :D

    Would JJ Be "Dyn-o-mite!" at Freo?

    LOL! Was at a Nats' game in DC last week and a couple of minutes after I told my wife the Nats' bullpen is their biggest issue, sure enough, it imploded and gave up 3 runs in a 5-4 loss to the Cubs!

    Would JJ Be "Dyn-o-mite!" at Freo?

    Mate, don't let the Mets semi-dismal record fool you. It has been an annus horribilis. Very eerie parallels have always existed between the Mets fortune's and Freo's and this year is no different — massive injuries taking a toll. Best scenario for Mets? Trade any valuable non-pitchers by July 31...

    What's up, Freo peeps? Been a LONG time since I last posted, I know, and I hope ALL of you are traveling well. What a rollercoaster season, huh? Start 0-2 and think all hope is dead...then go 6-2 and with Collingwood and Brisbane next, think we'll go into the bye 8-4 and have a good shot at...

    Getting Lobb might be a pipe dream. I'd have thought Freo would be satisfied with this result: Getting McCarthy for a 3rd rounder, snagging Brad Hill with a 2nd rounder, courtesy of Chris Mayne signing with Collingwood, drafting Sam Petrevski-Seton with the No. 3 overall pick, landing a couple...

    OK, but if I'm GWS, no way I do that deal. Gotta think about if from the potential trade partner's point of view.

    Agree. Free won't need as high as a second rounder to get McCarthy. He can be had for a song, as the expression goes.
