Love it!

The West has a rare ability to turn a great win into a totally unneeded insult to the opposition. How desperate are they nowadays to get a reaction, any reaction.

I really like that Ollie appears to have a great tank. If the club feels he has built himself up enough ( certainly still not bulked) I believe he can go past Davies in the pecking order pretty quickly. He was known as an elite mark of the ball in his selection year. One to keep a close eye on...

Snap

That might have been against Barry Cable ( I remember the crowd going off about his treatment on the day). Funny, think most of us wouldn’t mind that it happened now!

I presume that the second ripper is the draft steal in Reid.

Come on, someone must have been at training today. Gimme my report and tthd!!! :cool:

Sorry, that was the first training session with all squad members and as I said not all ran. I didn’t notice Simpson in the running, as in, not at the front of either group but it is also possible he didn’t run. He was training though.

He does, but we are paying a very very heavy price (draft picks) taking high profile players that are in contract.

Hmm, I thought the opposite, with Knobel gone I am expecting he will get offered an early contract extension ( must say from today’s pictures he is in ripping shape)

Darcy can’t churn out the laps yet but he is having a very specific program ( from a club provided biomechanic) to improve his core strength. The club have already said all this. I very much doubt he will be too chunky this year going by his work rate and the very specific program he is on. It...

So far public training has been on each Monday and Friday from around 9:15, probably don’t need to get there until 9:45 as the first 30 is just a warmup. But to be sure you need to check the Freo page on Monday.

Nope, the change of size was very noticeable at training. I am sad to say I particularly took notice of him side on to check and there is no fat. He will never have a Tracey body but it is clear he has worked hard before even pre-season.

Yeah, I had the same view watching him on Monday, was surprised at how good a runner he was. Very very early days but he just might pass Davies and become the next tall up.

I am most interested In whether the elite IQ and kicking skills of Murphy can make a real difference in the forward line. With our team, you Gotta love a player that is willing to take the kick on goal rather than pass the responsibility, we have two new players that are keen to take that...

Unfortunately was the other one (along with Darcy) that did the least at training. However, it was the view of the training watchers that Amiss and Sturt are the two that have bulked up the most. He looked in good shape and whilst he did not do a lot he didn’t have any apparent restriction...

They had two separate groups running in the time trials but certainly quite a few were also not doing the trials.

Yes I agree, we are now learning that growing up he was a small and a very skinny kid and no chance of selection in the under age representative teams ( rather than lacking ability). This has changed over the last couple of years and as a late developer he just may have more scope for...

Yeah his distance running was poor but he did seem to have some real speed when they moved into the full oval drills.

Thank goodness for that info, I had not seen someone struggle so much since Brodie’s first preseason with us. Bye the bye, Brodie was ok in the running but will never be anywhere near the other midfield runners.

I have avoided the other comments on training today, so apologies for any double ups: Two lap runs- Not everyone was involved (no Sharp as the trendsetter) but don’t you love the enthusiasm of youth. J Carr was out like a bolt of lightning and put a hundred meters on the field and maintained a...

Don’t know but they have had a close relationship with Carr for a number of years, so know all about him and they planned the selection with his family ( knocking back Brisbane interest). To me, it looks like Carr has always been painfully thin, too thin for even WAFL until this year. But his...

That’s two people now that have totally lost the invisible man JOM. Geez I thought he was ok as well last year.

Can’t be bothered looking it up but I think he was close if not the last player picked, he is feeling valued.

To be fair, it seemed that the jumpers were handed out by former greats with each team except Freo from memory

Any good? We definitely need some high end talent.

Or harder if the wicket drys and gets real quick

JOM is very sad that he has not made your best 44!

Well this was an obvious move by Fremantle whilst you were thinking positional depth the club was thinking, fudge, we seem to be running out of South Australians, better find one quick! Yeah a shock but is actually a need and his speed is ridiculous for a tall who is already a great mark. Not...

Yep agreed, he was fine, Richmond supporter and they passed him over which was undoubtedly disappointing. His dad was a hoot and it was interesting that he had already been to our facilities. Would be looking at the forward line and then midfield. Had to be taken at our pick, he was the mvp...
