It's 2 in a 4 year period though isn't it? Not 2 in 5. So Amiss and Erasmus cover us this year but not 2025 because we won't have taken a 1R pick in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Don't believe everything you see on the internet

If Freo land Bolton though, the need for Berry reduces anyway.

Good article on the freo website about Caleb's career so far. He already holds the club record for disposals in a game, club record for clearances in a game and club record for tackles in a game. He's 158 disposals short this year (with 4 games to go - not sure if it only applies to regular...

Serong already contracted for 4 more years after this one. But yeah, even though I'm confident Andy is staying, I'd still like to see him sign a long term deal soon!

Didn't Roger Hayden have a few boys up and coming?

I dont know the official wording but in the west's article in says the new regulations state contact to the face is classed as intentional. I wonder if the fact he hit him in the back of the head, rather than the face, got him off on a technicality?

I would be extremely surprised if the Fremantle Lager is anything other than underwhelming. It will be brewed to appeal to the masses ie Great Northern or Carlton Dry like - unoffensive and cheap to produce. They will be relying on the can art to sell it anyway. As for the IPA vs Lager debate...

He never seems to take a mark on the first grab, no matter the weather, especially in contested situations.

I like how they slipped the derby trophy into the photoshoot 😁

Not having a go at you, it just me think - It's funny how we our opinion of players swings so wildly directly off of a teams performance, Sydney lose a few games and suddenly their whole list is meh. Same thing we do with our team, when we win a prime Chris Judd would struggle to squeeze into...

He also said in the same article that Carlton have already built up enough of a buffer to guarantee top 2 - despite them only being half a game ahead of 3rd and 4th and a game ahead of 5th, 6th and 7th with 5 odd games to go.

You can see how hostile the crowd will be if we meet the blues in Melbourne, and how much sway that has with the umpires...

Dale Kickett says hi.

I'm no expert clearly, but I would think he has more to gain at this point in his career from lower game time. IMO, JLo is keeping him in just enough touch to be available for finals, where I can see him genuinely having an impact. Same with Fyfe, I know they are both contracted for next year...

Yeah I think it's a major chink in the armour - if you look at the Carlton, Port, Hawks and 2nd Sydney (which we were lucky to get away with) games we just can't control the game when we are trying to protect a lead.

Cal Twomey was asked that specific question on gettable today and he replied "it's a super depth draft", meaning not standout for the top 5 or 10 picks, but standout for the quality all the way to pick 40 or so.

If the changes go ahead, I'll bet Kako (who we are probably looking very hard at with our first pick) goes on to be the best small forward the competition has ever seen.

But we can't draft something that isn't there - I've read several times in this thread people saying we can use our best pick to take a top 10 small forward, who will impact straight away. But if the best small forward is projected at pick 35, we would be crazy to use a top 10 pick on them even...

Sharp mentioned on the Better Down Back podcast he missed his own sisters wedding due to playing earlier this year

Yeah I would, hands down.

That was my thoughts too, if Cripps wins a seconds brownlow he doesn't deserve I will vomit.

They need someone too damaged to be in line for a senior job anywhere else, but someone who can resonate with the fans, has a proven record of being forgiven for failures and knows his way across the Swan River. Ben Cousins perhaps?

A dead cat bounce fuelled win against the Lions this weekend would be rather handy for us I reckon, especially since they too have had a draw.

You mean against someone like Carlton?

Now imagine flipping the script - WAFL Beagles vs our AFL side. I was looking at the VFL ladder today and all the teams struggling at the bottom of the AFL ladder at least have competitive, if not good, VFL sides. Wet toast have a historically bad AFL side, an even worse WAFL side, no reserves...

I'm all for this - trade our worst first each year into the next year, until someone irresistible comes up at the second pick, or we need the extra collateral to land a big fish

The last caller sounds suspiciously like Dan Const from backchat

I agree. If Cameron is really on the outer, and he's keen to come to Freo, he's the one to go after because he will come considerably cheaper than Bolton. Sure, Charlie has less of his playing days left but it could bridge the gap until Simpson or Delean are ready. And the rest go into chasing...

Does Curtain potentially cover both of these positions? A young half back who can contribute straight away, with potential to be a big bodied mid?
