I am pretty sure Mundy has no interest in coaching and that he is very comfortable in his media gig; I think that probably sits well with his family life as well in a way that coaching will not. I am not sure about the Adam Simpson option, but it would be great to get an experienced assistant...

Yes Half Forward is what I would say; compare him to Taj Wyburd who was playing deeper I think? What I did like was Simpson's pressure on the ball carrier; the stats say he only had two tackles but I thought he chased pretty well most of the day. He isn't getting enough of the ball and his...

I know he is an emergency but they spelt Bo Allan's surname incorrectly.

Massively professional - best wishes to him going forward.

I didn't pay too much attention to Cooper Simpson today, except for when he got the ball, which wasn't too often. Am I right in thinking that he mainly played off the half forward flank? Are we are all thinking the issue is that of endurance? I mean, his agility seems very good at both WAFL /...

Of the Freo players, I thought the ones that stood out: O'Dricoll was putting in the hard yards; no surprises there - his good is very good. I think everyone wants to see him put in the hard yards in the offseason so that he can be consistent. Matt Taberner playing with that dislocated thumb...

Hayden Young turned up to watch the game (on crutches)

2 kicks to three quarter time (with 5 handballs). Simpson hasn't had kick yet.

197cm (according to WAFL) so likely KP size. Eligible next year.

Considering modern drafting practices which tend to prioritize consistency and leadership, Langford is the only challenge to Jagga Smith for the no.1 pick IMO.

Which Merrett? At any rate I don't think I have ever discounted any Merrett but here is a brief list of ones in no particular order that I got wrong over the since 2005 that spring to mind: 2005 Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls: A tall (I think he was 188cm) guy that could kick (I thought) and had good...

Occam was a place not a person.

I think consideration needs to be given first to the general strategy for the draft which needs to consider both internal needs (short, medium and long) and external components (what is the draft strong and weak in). With respect to the former, IMO the following is true: In the short term we...

What is he playing at Peel? CHB or Full back?

Hamish Davis, playing in the WAFL elimination final against East Freo as a half forward flank, is 17 possessions and 2 goals at three quarter time. His agility has really impressed me in this game, field kicking has been good, he has had a go at a couple of hard shots and mucked them up though...

Davis is having a field day in this WAFL final against Easts - note even third quarter and he is 2 goals, 17 possessions. His agility has been really good.

Assuming Pearce is back and Cox is still fit and available, where does he play in the side next season? Or does he go back to Peel to bide his time? At the moment I feel the most obvious solution is for him to take on the Chapman's role of third/fourth defender and move Chapman to the wing...

I don't know how you have reached this conclusion; what is the basis of your argument that the players don't hate losing, and furthermore that it specifically is linked with Longmuir? If you listen to their post-match interviews in the seniors, players like Serong and Brayshaw clearly hate...

I wasn't saying that I don't think Murphy can make it - I am trying to say that I don't see the point in picking out one player on a whim who actually had an okay game today, who is not even playing in the game we are all watching and picking them out and saying "delist material". You know -...

Well Murphy (and a lot of the team) doesn't have the skills that Delean has - so maybe Murphy doesnt have potential, or maybe Delean has? Murphy is also very (ruckman) slow and won't be able to keep up with most key forwards, so he probably has very little chance of making it at AFL.. But...

Whilst it was reserves Delean did kick 2 goals and had decent numbers of tackles and possessions (for him for once). I mean on that basis why not lay into Ollie Murphy (who is also in his first season and is stuck in reserves), Conrad Williams (multiple seasons) as well?

They have tried Brodie as a wingman at Peel earlier in the season a few times , in anticipation that they may play him there but basically: He doesn't have the running capacity even at WAFL level; He struggles to get to the defensive spaces he needs to as a wing; and He is also indecisive...

As pathetic as being goaless for a half and being beaten by over 100 points?

Hi All - can we be a little more mature here and stop calling our team (or at least, for many of the people on this board it is our team) a joke or pathetic / etc.? A team which is deserving of those kinds of title we are not; show some pride in yourselves, don't be joke supporters and your...

He fell off a cliff in Elden Ring and it Tarnished his reputation?

It will be Johnson but if not, I reckon O'Driscoll would get a game next ahead of Erasmus or Brodie; over the last two or maybe even three weeks he has been way just more impactful with his possessions than either of those other two and he has better burst speed around the packs.

I am ambivalent about most of the trade targets, but I acknowledge that we should be trying to force trades with our draft picks without getting ripped off. Warner is a good player and I don't have an issue in slightly overpaying for him, because those draft picks will probably take ages before...

I saw Stanley on the wing.

Some thoughts: Draper, Chapman and Walker all had some outstanding counterattacking runs at times that in the end helped a lot in terms of our win, but also made a number of mistakes as well and let their opponents hurt us on the scoreboard. I am sure JLo will accept the mistakes but if we can...

I have seen him kick 55m but he didn't time that one. But to be honest, it was junk time when he was lining up, so "whatever?" - he had some good delivery into the forward line but also gave the ball up by foot in the midfield a bit. I think though he is making an effort to kick as much as...
