Can I ask how Frampton went?Wow that sanfl game told some stories:
the good
pedlar taylor turner very encouraging - pedlar beast mode Q3 wow pedlar and taylor need to play afl all next year irrespective of results that generates
strachan should be AFL and trade ROB (I know this is divisive) but... just do it
worrell a class above in defence needs to play afl only
nankervis interesting player - developing fast
frampton might have more trade collateral than we think
the bad
fish just doesnt try hard enough. actually has talents but effort is about 20%
newchurch and borlase - can probably see why they havent debuted
cook worrying-would not contest even sholl showed him up in contest. has regressed. why?
His intercept and kicking was pretty good. His defence is ok for sanfl but questionable at afl. I'm assuming he will be traded as per reports.Can I ask how Frampton went?
Yeah we're heavily into him. Cheers for that mate.His intercept and kicking was pretty good. His defence is ok for sanfl but questionable at afl. I'm assuming he will be traded as per reports.
His normal self in Sanfl. Very good interceptor. Finds the pill.Can I ask how Frampton went?

Newchurch is looking like a bust. We should go after Willie Rioli. Wants to get out of Perth I believe.There's a few players in that reserves team that seem primed for next year, after another Burgess offseason.
Could we get anything for Newchurch, do we think?
He went well. His trade value just increased.Can I ask how Frampton went?
Not only do we need elite midfield talent, we need to bat deep in this area.
Unless we snag someone through trade, we are another ~3 years conservatively away from playing Finals.
I think you guys are seriously underrating our current list .....yes we are young, but young does not mean talentless !Agree
I’d take 3 years in a heartbeat
Don’t reckon we can do it , but then didn’t think Dawson abd Rankine would land in our lap either so who knows what future holds
I reckon we will make finals next year.I think you guys are seriously underrating our current list .....yes we are young, but young does not mean talentless !
We'll play Finals in 2024 .....a few posted during the year, we were another 5 years away from Finals, and have to do another rebuild ......seriously, this is pure emotion talking after losses
We're a couple of building blocks short (players) .....and another 30 games of experience
Im not underrating our list, Im trying to be practical with my thinking here.I think you guys are seriously underrating our current list .....yes we are young, but young does not mean talentless !

Depends on the trade season but we are in with a chance with a favourable draw, a bit of luck and a good run with injuries.I reckon we will make finals next year.
I'm not comfortable our DEF can hold up yet .....I'd agree with many here that predict 10 wins next year & knocking on the door of the eightI reckon we will make finals next year.
Disagree .......Soligo, Laird, Berry, Pedlar, Keays, Rankine (30%), Schoenberg, are not talentless .....far from itIm not underrating our list, Im trying to be practical with my thinking here.
We lack elite midfield talent and depth in this area. Its one of the key criterion to winning a flag.
i refuse to write off next year at this stageI think you guys are seriously underrating our current list .....yes we are young, but young does not mean talentless !

You're simply judging players on 20-30 games of footy .....not 60 games of footy, extra strength and extra fitness, that 20-30 game players simply can't have, to turn up each week
In addition, does Dawson start to go thru the midfield ? ......does Milera ?
We should go into next season, optimistic ......I love these journey's of rebuilds ....next year is a huge ask though, to make Finalsi refuse to write off next year at this stage
I'm feeling more hopeful about finals in 2024 now after the way we ended the season (was thinking it'd be 2025 at the earliest mid-year), but not sure how deep in finals we'd go, based on the current young talent on the list. Still haven't got that mid with a superstar ceiling, I feelI think you guys are seriously underrating our current list .....yes we are young, but young does not mean talentless !

What's your thoughts on Turner, after today's effort ?I'm feeling more hopeful about finals in 2024 now after the way we ended the season (was thinking it'd be 2025 at the earliest mid-year), but not sure how deep in finals we'd go, based on the current young talent on the list.

George, you'll have to watch the variations as they occur .....as I've said, perfect explanation, but I doubt you'll agree with me, if I explain it again .....I have posted why recently
Dawson has nothing to do with Nicks current style .....and everything to do with protecting underperforming KPD's who are reasonably poor disposers of the ball ....and for that, also not great contested marks, albeit Murray is improving
Nicks was credited with instilling a competitive edge to get GWS to their first Grand Final ......in his first year, the team was viewed running in waves, orange tsunami style .....but he had a more mature team at his disposalSurely you instil and train defensive systems first rather than sacrifice our best distributors game? He had 2 seasons to show something before Dawson came in to cover and what has improved? How have you viewed the improvement in system?
Nicks style is all Ra Ra Ra + contest. Bugger all system either defensive or attacking.
I didn't watch the game, but see he had a bunch of touches and 16 tacklesWhat's your thoughts on Turner, after today's effort ?
Definitely. I just get sick of people putting random apostrophes in the middle of names - Matthew Nick's is another that pisses me off. Sometimes I run out of patience.
