This is a strange take, I hope Christmas cheers you up a bit.
Ha, by your response, you must have thought I was making a joke.

No, I love Tabs, but he is a notorious mouth breather. Some people just are. Usually for mechanical reasons. One of my sons is.

If you watch Tabs after he has been for a run, taken a mark and about to have a set shot, his mouth is wide open the whole time. He is breathing in and out through his mouth.

This is inefficient, unhealthy and it can put limits on clarity of mind. Decision making can be impacted.

Have a read of Breath, by James Nestor. It will change your life. Lot's of us don't know how to breathe properly. Or we can learn breathing techniques that can improve our health. Maybe someone can gift Tabs a copy for Christmas 👍

Agreed. Whenever he gets a run at it he’s AA pace with his contested marking and a fantastic shot at goal from all angles.
He maybe in consideration for AA selection, which is fair enough.
But the elite guys are averaging 2 goals or more a game.
Take your pick of Cameron, Hawkins, Lynch, McKay, etc.
A great forward at Freo is kicking 40, or at least close to that mark.

You'd hope he kept his dental work up then, bloke must've been having a rough time when masks were a thing.

I've read that and I know what you mean, but Stranger Things turned the phrase mouth breather into an insult :).

I pay my membership for that one game a year where he makes some random team's defence look second rate and we all start believing again. Usually Essendon.
 
Can't abide all this Tabs bashing. He's kicking 10 in the GF this year on his way to a Norm Smith and Premiership medal.
It'd be the most quintessential Tabs move ever to kick 10 on GF day, win the Norm Smith medal... And then trip over on his way up the premiership dias.

How can you not love the great man

Hey mate, just to clear things up as I'm not sure your aware, "mouth-breather" is another way of calling someone an idiot. Your original post could be interpreted as calling the person you replied to, an idiot, which is why you get the reaction you got.
 
Have they had their last session for the year or is there one today?

they're done I think (??). Dale above said final training for the year and wished us Merry Christmas.

So me too. Merry Christmas everyone....here's to 2023. Let's hope it ends with a September flag (well, it ends on Dec 31st, but you get the gist...)

One of my sons was down at Kings Park last Saturday for colts training and he reckoned Caleb Serong, Heath Chapman and a couple of other Freo boys were down there, doing their own training.

Caleb Serong is 21 years old.

What were you doing on a Saturday off when you were 21?
probably playing a gig some of you older farts into indie rock were at
 
The goal went straight through the middle and 5 metres past the sticks. It was the perfect kick
That phrase is downright phone sex worthy. You had me looking through my pockets for $2 coins for a second there.

If Tracey keeps playing like that at training, the club will have dimly lit peep-show booths instead of a viewing platform. It'll be $10 a pop, with BYO tissues and a five minute quota... but the queue would still stretch past the sand dunes.

(Think I'll shut up at this point -- Freo's media team will start getting ideas...)

Thanks man, added to my playlist
 
tabs in a grand final will almost lose us the game multiple times. give away a 50.

but also kick 10 and win the norm smith..

this is the tabs way

Yeah that's how I interpreted that post too. The only time I've heard the term used is an insult basically describing someone who lacks enough intelligence that they never learned to breathe through their nose. I'm very confident there is no racism (Comments about Henry) or over the top insults going on in this thread. Just some misinterpretations of comments so good work Snuff for sorting that out.

On a more positive note Ive heard very positive comments in conversation with two insightful training observers now in regard to Max Knobel and Conrad Williams. It looks like our tallest recruit has a massive leap and could be a giant (pun intended) surprise packet while Williams has been described as a pure talent with great football instincts.
