I don’t think this is what’s going on. A few trade speculation pages floated he was keen to get back to WA once a FA.
The fact he hasn’t signed yet, perpetuates that possibility.
We are talking about a player from WA - so Starc is being discussed as a hypothetical trade scenario IF he were to...
I’ve heard from a couple of people claiming to have loose connections to him and the club, that it’s Oscar Allen.
I personally would be shocked, but if he hasn’t signed by mid year, I might start to believe it’s a possibility.
Interesting that he hasn’t signed yet, local kid, skipper.. surely...
Great thread.
A lot of casual assumptions that we will bottle the exact team/individual out put of this finals series and get an extra 10% out of everyone.
Very common fan reaction to winning a premiership.
Progression is never lineal and even if we win back to back, next years line up will...
The after glow of winning is as good as the loss last year was devastating.
I was doom and gloom right up to and even during the season.
But the win has erased that and the last month has been pure fan heaven.
We got one, I watched it with my kids live, Fages got one, Zorks and lachie got...
DD will be our next coach. Has knocked backed big paying jobs 3 times now to stay. Makes sense, succession plan underway - DD to take the reins in 2027. How has this not been discussed before… or has it?
Massive no to Weiderman, would rather devalop Smith if we don’t go the mature option.
Kid just ain’t up to it, don’t need Smith, Ryan and him on the list.
There will always be a lean toward players wanting to go to good teams.
But players went to WC, North, Freo, Saints.
Port and Pies had questionable trade period IMO.
Dogs ok.
Hawks did well but far from an established powerhouse, Battle and Barass arnt superstars.
Lions and Swans sat idle...
Whilst I’m confident enough with a plan of covering Joe with what we have, I think there is a significant over estimation of what that will look like, coming on the back of our finals charge.
You don’t take a 68 goal, 21 disposal forward/ruck out of a side, not replace them, and cover it with...
At least 4 times right through.
A few second 1/4s.
A mini or 2.
1 finals campaign right through.
Highly recommend doing all 4 finals games from start to finish, it’s a weekend job, but it’s a beauty.
I’ll be hammering it all summer, everytime I think ‘yep - I’m done for a while, the feeling...
Loving the convo here, I was pissed off about Joe at first, but after the BNF and hearing he was going to leave this year either way, I instantly just became happy we/he got 1.
He is hard to replace but I think we can still compete without him in 2025.
Liking most of the options that have been...
What’s up team?
Haven’t posted here in a while, semi retired from contributing, but I still read most weeks and enjoy the conversation.
Just wanted to say… WE F***ING DID IT!
Years of torture and pain, conversations and debates about the best way out of the hole the club found itself in… and...
I agree in some respects, my thoughts are/were - surely they wouldn’t turn on each other to that degree over cheating. Maybe some subtle judgement but like you said, it’s no one’s business really.
Then I think, imagine if 10 of my colleagues went away together on a work trip (I work on in a...
Heard about this a couple of weeks ago. Not this specifically, just heard massive issues amongst prayers, trust shattered, players at odds etc. Was waiting to see if it hit the media, looks like this is it.
There’s been a crew of doubters (who I get along with better than most) who have predicted we are ‘done’ and fagans ‘done’ at the start of the last 4-5 seasons.
There was always a chance that we succumbed to the GF loser, year after fall away, we had been up for 5 years.
No one could have...
Conversation with my mate who’s done a couple of ACLS was ‘I worry about a 10 month return’ - not looking to apportion blame here, but did feel a little fast.
An ok player who has 2 good games a year*
Narr Cammy is ok, just leave him forward line though. He’s not fit enough or interested in being fit enough to be a mid.
I think it’s Zorko, only other creative kicker. Cal is a workhorse but does not have a laser boot. Need someone to change angles, Zorko and McKenna.
Also like Pendles, is a good spot on the field to preserve Zorks physically.
Embarrassing. Only way to describe it. I said at 1/2 time ‘they will win this game’. Warning signs galore. This team is just mentally fragile, has been for years. Plenty of talent, but we lack leadership and back bone. Absolute train wreck of a night. The monkey on our back we will carry around...
