I said this in my training report which would appear to support what you are saying. 'For a player Kane Cornes seems to think could miss the year Sean Darcy sure looked great watching him live 30metres away. He ran a ton of laps to finish the session and also joined in training drills bar the...

I think one of him or Cooper Simpson could play early on in 2025 say Round 4. Cooper really is great with ball in hand too. We need more skills in the team not just Bolton being added to the team. I think Murphy Reid and Cooper Simpson could be rivals for the sub jacket early in the year and...

I agree with all this from King Huski. Late training report here. Havent done one for a far while. i arrived at the start of the match sim. Hot blustery conditions. Skills were really good considering the conditions. Its really difficult to identify all the players as many wear hats but some of...

Yeah not really. Achieves nothing and you miss out on some of the great work by the Freo social media team. This is more a shout out to the excellent Freo Dockers social media team than a political statement. They do a great job. Also if anyones interested tomorrow training time is...

Its all speculation an opinion obviously but Id have a few differences.My list is different to yours in that Im grading what I predict will be the performance level of players. I have higher expectations for Erasmus and Johnson due to how they both look great according to training reports. Im...

No. I was quoting a quick one hour of training all Ive seen and on twitter so I wouldnt have thought anyone would be making a comparison. I havent seen much of Charlie Nicholls was my point. For whats its worth twitter doesnt allow for much detailed explanation. I would have added these views...

I havent been down yet this preseason. Ill get down next week. Ive been quoting some of the training reports but I havent done one yet.

I think this guy could yet be Alex's replacement. So Im talking 4 years time. Charlie has a ton in common with Alex Pearce in terms of where he's at in development when drafted. Both had late growth spurts, both drafted around the same position, both athletic but super skinny, both not great...

Mine would be the Melbourne game in Round 12 as I think it shows what we are capable of in terms of team effort.

Im not sure if more of the blame for Sean playing at a heavier weight than now was due to coaches wanting him to be big and strong. Last year there were changes to ruck rules that allowed more contact at centre bounces. I think potentially some of the coaches saw his strength and size as a...

We also have a potential game changing ruck combo. Ive watched a few replay games and geez Luke Jackson was fantastic early on with his movement around the ground in our first 5 games but he was playing around 80%+ of the game time in ruck and was clearly effected by persistent soreness in games...

Have to say start to the preseason has me even more optimistic than when we got Bolton. I know Jackson and Young have had interruptions to their programs since the end of last season but all our other key players look well and truly on track and Jackson is already in main training so plenty of...

Freddy and Sturt too with Young and Serong rotating forward. Ive had a chance to watch a few replays including a few of the early games. Geez our kicking into the forward line was terrible early in the season and the last 4 games. Early on we missed Freddy on the lead so many times or he was...

I pretty much agree with this bar one position as I think we'll play 7 defenders so one of Wagner or drop would miss out in my 22. I think Draper is capable of massive development in 2025 while also being highly capable of playing on smalls. Due to how highly I rate Draper Id predict Wagner...

A late first round pick will be taken in the late first round bar free agent compensation in 2025 due to bid matching changes . Many clubs were unhappy with the draft compensation given to StKilda this year and North Melbourne the year before (including Carlton and Collingwood) so for that...

So a recent article on afl.com.au discussed the list changes for season 2025 Looking at our list changes I love how many multiple positional players we have added while delisting players that mostly played one position. Eg. IN Shai Bolton (trade, Richmond), Jaren Carr (No.63 draft pick...

Last season I would have said our weakest position was small forward but with the addition of Bolton I now see the wing position as our weakest in terms of how we potentially compare to other teams. In my opinion NOD could have a massive say in how well we go in 2025.

I agree with a lot of what you've said bar I'd have Mathew Johnson as a definite and my pick as our biggest improver in 2025. Its early days this preseason but he's mentioned by some of our very some astute training observers as breaking tackles and looking significantly stronger in preseason...

Any news on who impressed bar Carr? Id love to know how Simpson went.

Any news on Cooper Simpson would be greatly appreciated. Id love to know how he ran in the the repeat 1km's. Potentially he could be a contributor next year even as a suib. Also any news on Narkle from Monday.

Watching training in recent years Cox works really hard. In my opinion he was set for his best ever year last season before double injury. One in the preseason and one in the season regular. He was getting a ton of positive comments the preseason before and he was running really well at the...

How did Cooper Simpson go?

He could be valuable in a sub role where he played a ton for Port in the second half of last year and did well which is why they played him as a sub a ton. He does have untapped potential as he has all the attributes with classy skills and speed making him suited to the sub role. In my opinion...

He is coming over next week

Whan had some great form finishing off the season at South Freo. I think he has some impressive attributes. He could yet be a 1st rounder. So many players rated outside of the top 20 this time year ago ended up first rounders while many highly rated players slipped massively. eg Welsh...

One draft report I read said he played mostly half back in the under 16's so the year before he was drafted.

I watched a couple of his full games at the underage champs including his game highlighted below. His primary job was to win the ball but he's an outstanding two way runner. Id describe his defensive mindset as elite. Some of the draft write ups arent accurate.His two way running was described...

He played more as a forward than a defender this year.

At afl level he the high half forward plays pretty much as the deepest midfielder in lower grades. Switta and Walters play that role a fair bit. In is early games I think Reid will play the high half forward role and I also think his pressure will be elite from even early on in his career. At...
