[Joao]

Wake me up in October. I am going to troll danster about getting pick 18 +36 for Jackson all the way to the draft.

Go tell him Schultz is as good as Pickett

(Please don’t)

 

[go_the_dockers]

Missed about 3 last year I think. You expecting us to win 22 games?

At full back, you are out of the play.
Plus he is injury prone.

Happy for him to be joint captain.

 

[Purple Jesus]

Welp. TIL I'm 40 and may not be entirely hetero.

 

[Purple Jesus]

That would be an outstanding season. Yes please. I'll take one of those.

19 win season. Three finals. Tick, tick, tick. Wake me up in February 2024

You'd really want to sleep through a season like that?

The big boys look tight

I'm going to be so confused this year.

Cheering for number 9.

 

[mike91]

I don't want AP, as he is injured too much and plays at full back. Can be out of play too much.

Why does playing full back matter?

Sicily (will be captain)
Jonas
Moore
Rampe

All key defenders and all captains

It's not uncommon.

It'd be about the distance to run back after tossing the coin.

Tell him you’ve got some mail that Kossy is keen to get back over to perth with his best mates Henry an Jacko.
Should go down a treat

I meant I'd be partying so vigorously through October that I'll need to sleep until the next season.

Do you remember a little sketch where Ben Cousins was celebrating the premiership win and you hear his girlfriend saying "Ben, it's Fn November!"?

Full back vs centre half back.

Full back is further out of the play concentrating on his man. CHB organises the defence.

Who is our defensive general?
If is is AP already I will reconsider my opinion.

Personally I think joint captains are a good idea for 2 or 3 years.

 

[Taylor]

We have a very good defence, we have a very talented midfield. Structure/positioning makes for a good defence, you'll notice Pearce directing positioning in the defensive fifty. Our defence performs well, this is not a coincidence.

Mundy was doing the same in the middle.

Who does it in the forward line? It's Michael Walters

Expect improvement forward purely for that.

Nah, 25

Yes, the defensive general is Pearce.

He was also acting captain all of last season.

 

[Sweetback]

Tom Harley was a CHB

Happy for him to be joint captain.

I literally have the opposite view. Don't understand your logic, having the full back perspective is an advantage in my opinion.

 

[Fyfster]

I don't mind it either , Sometimes as a mid you are playing gassed half the time . I like Alex as captain and Brayshaw and Serong as the main deputies.

 

[Alfonz]

Once they are out on the ground, I don't really think it matters who is captain ... or more to the point, what position they play. Pearce leads the backs, Brayshaw/Serong leads the mids, Fyfe leads the forwards. They are all basically captain material and their label as C, VC or nothing is not going to change how they play/act.

Might sound a bit strange, but you could argue the captain should be chosen based on whoever is the best choice for when we are not actually playing.

 

[Patty_Moz]

Is training on today at Cockburn? Anyone know what time?

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Is training on today at Cockburn? Anyone know what time?

If it's on, they generally get out there about 9:15.

They could also be at Freo since I think all Wednesday sessions have all been at Freo BUT they also had a big session yesterday which they dont normally do. So basically, I have no idea where or even if training is on, soz =)

 

[mattis117]

I wonder if they've now switched to training Tuesday, Thursday, with a weekend session?

 

[Patty_Moz]

I called the club and they said it’s on at South Fremantle oval but is a closed session. I vaguely remember those closed sessions being open to the public as SFO is a public car park.

Anyhow I have the day off so am going to check it out.

Remember, when he knocks on your window to just say good evening officer and only give information asked for.

 

[Deveraux]

The full back can see the whole field, all of play unfolding... an excellent choice
