See where the management of the Tasmanian footy stadium project and the AFL’s role in same have come in for heavy criticism by independent (Govt-commissioned) reviewer. Economist Dr Nicholas Gruen says it can’t be done on time or on budget- and he’s given the AFL a serve over the high-handed...

and also, thumbs down to earlier post that our footy was not exciting to watch. I'm working my way through the best of 2024 and there's plenty Freo excitement. Midfield streaming forward at united speed - Young having his way with the oppo - Serong of the ultra-fast pass - Andy the tackle champ...

The Traeger Park Demon demo is pretty satisfying - also Rd 16 v Swans

Anyone know what's with the Bont training at West Coast???

There you go then

I'm up for that

I could be manufacturing the memory but I think I recall him saying as much at some point.

Simon Garlick said at Freo Annual Members Meeting that our 2024 attendance rate of 79% of membership topped the League.

Tix buyers on Reddit asking same Qs & noting Ticketek customer service ‘very poor’…but a very helpful local Ttk agent (who had offered to queue simultaneously with me if needed) advised they usually make tix available a couple of weeks before event. Would’ve been pretty simple to include that...

Hope so. Same here. On my ticket order confirmation email there was small print saying "there was an error in sending your ticket". The help info directed me to My Ticketek App (Order History etc.) but nothing doing as yet. Well, they've taken my money so I'll be insisting (!) on a ticket....

Re maintaining a taller posture, does anyone have a professional take on Sean Darcy's habitual onfield 'slouch' posture? Big contrast to JT. Could be profoundly innate in Sean and not an issue...but I've always wondered if any regimen that 'tightened him up' so to speak would be worthwhile, if...

I long to see more of us armchair experts show just some basic respect for a player who is also a real person, not a an inanimate dartboard to be a helpless target for any cheap Slings and arrows. Yes this is a forum for all opinions but the above us mine, and so as legitimate as anyone else’s...

Just tweak our name to Greater Western Freo & it's a done deal!

Of course not. We like your fact.

Not the luck but the skill of the Irish was the cream on this satisfying game. Good effort across the board and great to see the continued development of young ruck Mim Strom.

Can anyone ITK say why Graham knocked back WC interest? Fair to surmise that Freo's current list and their prospects engages him more than those of Eagles. Could he therefore have a 'wait and hope' position re Freo's head coach role?

I'm bitterly disappointed it's looking like bye-bye finals. We lost 3 KPPs at the crucial crunchtime stageof the season. And yet.... Despite the wretched Gather Round and punitive trips to Alice and the Antarctic, Freo went on to hit the 8 then the top four. We saw the emergence of a super...

That's my take also. Darcy came off the field near us in the Derby and looked decidedly woozy. Hopefully his status is more clear-cut this week and yes, hope he's okay.

BTW as we hear in the Olympics, in the team (relay) swim events the final 'bring it home" swimmer - usually their top performer - is "the anchor".

Great if that's how he appeared when you watched him. I've listened to him a lot and invariably been disappointed. Maybe I expect too much of someone I've admired throughout his journey with Freo.

Sadly for me the Great Pav, champion of our club, is a giant NEIGH as a commentator. How can this intelligent, well-educated bloke not realise his standard needs to lift? Never a scintilla of spontaneity, wooden as all getout and infuriatingly committed to an endless series of adjectival...

Having said that, did Reidy travel?

I take the Reidy inclusion as a sign that Darcy’s fitness is less than optimum. If any risk, at last minute they’ll run with Reidy as replacement bullock.

Fyfey should be fought for. He'll never be that wondrous sky-flying, field-blitzing superhero again. He broke his body and for a while, his spirit on the grinding wheel of AFL. But what he does now is literally pave the way for today's mid beasts. I've watched our games many times live and...

Hear hear

Agree on both counts. Fyfey has traditionally been a target and enough's bloody enough.

Sincere condolences, Cayman Docker. Please keep on, with us all. You too, Raz. You showed courage in speaking out. You are a courageous person.

Given our lads have to show up, Minz, so must we (shiver).....

Love your posts, Bigger but occasionally the boring pedant in me demands an outing. McGovern is the leanest he's ever been I'd say - not nuffin' in the weight stakes but still a veritable shadow of a muffin.

I'm concerned for Jye. Another pre-season hopefully will see him with more upper body strength and not so readily bodied off the ball. But in the here and now he is vulnerable and I don't want to see those bastard defenders shove him like they did last time.
