3 finals and a top of the table clash in there...Been his last 4 games…
I'm gonna choose to believe that it's a good sign the article mentioned Emmett but not NOD.Elsewhere, fringe forward Tom Emmett could seek a move back to South Australia as he looks to reignite his AFL career

Even Matt Clarke on Gettable couldn't be arsed pretending it was a real possibility. With Baker it was "we'd love to get him, he hasn't nominated a club yet, we need that age bracket and leadership". With Bolton it was "it'll be difficult for anybody to get him".Man, the VFL media still trying to link Bolton with WC in any way is stupid, annoying and hilarious. Same stupid rubbish as with Jackson. From Ralph's latest WC article
"It means the likes of Jack Graham, Liam Baker and Shai Bolton will have to decide upon whether they choose to move to the Eagles before the club has locked in its senior coach."
He literally requested a trade to Freo...
"Shai Bolton looks more likely to head to Fremantle given their draft collateral to hand Richmond multiple early picks to secure their man."
Or you know, because he doesnt want WC...
Why do we have to do these stupid games every time man...

A mate of mine put the wind up me last night saying he’s heard somewhere that there is some trade package deal going on which involves those 3 going over with McWalter as the new coachMan, the VFL media still trying to link Bolton with WC in any way is stupid, annoying and hilarious.

If we had Cerra I also think Young would have spent his career as a half back.Amiss is better than Cerra
I'm glad he left
Dropped for who?Yeah, but he’s on an AFL list. Why are we justifying 5 and 6 touch games for 4 weeks?
It’s actually hard to do, only get 6 touches. He’s done it 4 weeks in a row.
Top of the table, finals, who cares. What’s going on with him.
Personally think he should be dropped.
And ****ing up the list for the next coachThe "world" may not be ending next year but JL's world as coach most certainly will if we don't at minimum play in a prelim I reckon. Hence why we are going all in and thinking now with no eye to the future.
What I did like was Simpson's pressure on the ball carrier; the stats say he only had two tackles but I thought he chased pretty well most of the day. He isn't getting enough of the ball and his decision making by foot is at times questionable.

Bo Allen looked pretty good for Peel. Doesnt seem to accumulate much of the ball though.
Dropped for who?
We only had 11 Freo listed players in the side so we don't need to drop a Docker for Brodie (wrong position anyway)
Colton was far worse today so he clearly goes out for Wilson (Coops had 2 shots at goal, Colton none)
So who do you suggest we bring in for that small forward role?
Coops is the best option we have there, Peel's reserves didn't make WAFL finals so whoever comes in will be off a month of 0 games too.
Personally I reckon he is going to love the open space of Optus, would be mad to drop him, the experience of a WAFL GF will be great too. I'd understand if Peel had someone knocking the door down but the only player who could take his position is Colton who has also come off a 4 touch game, a week off and a 5 touch game without impacting the scoreboard.
U r remembering he was out of contract? Two firsts if he had two years left on his contract - absolutely. Reality far harsher than this given where the freo negotiators were starting from.He was a better footballer than Dylan Shiel and Adam Treloer were and they both fetched two first rounders with a second coming back.
The trade that was actually done suggested he lost value on his draft selection which is beyond laughable. If anything his first four years were better than most top five picks.
Post Brayshaw’s stats compared to Cerra in 2018-2021. They’re not much different. You now know what we Brayshaw has become and what Cerra’s injuries have made him become. You’re talking in hindsight.
Freddy’s role is to get up the ground & try to lose his opponent on the way back, which at times he does well. That fast ball movement is when he is at his most dangerous & defence is not an option for him.A tackling freddy would solve all our problems. Do the team selectors just think he is too lightly built (yes ripped, but not solid) to give him a genuinely defensive role? Or is his primary role as a threat who can burn their defenders off out the back / keeping their defenders honest and closer to their goal?
Being out of contract makes a difference but not a massive difference.U r remembering he was out of contract? Two firsts if he had two years left on his contract - absolutely. Reality far harsher than this given where the freo negotiators were starting from.
Should instruct him to move out of the 50 when it's a contested situation to cover off any quick kicks. Strong overhead and a long kick, so can either roost from outside or look for a target.Freddy’s role is to get up the ground & try to lose his opponent on the way back, which at times he does well.

He goes missing when the ball comes in slowly & should work on locking it in with pressure. He doesn’t do this any where near enough.
It was only one moment, but early in the last Simpson had some time and space with the ball on the wing, he took that time then decided to kick a loopy pass to what appeared to be an invisible player at centre half back. It presented a bow tied gift for the Swans to intercept.Is the decision making a WAFL thing? He'll likely be presented with better options by Treacy/Amiss/Jackson and have less time to make a decision. Just wondering this as his decision making was what most impressed me when he played earlier in the year.

Agree. The club should get him to amp up his endurance and play him on the wing, I find it hard to fathom that he can't play better or similar to Sharp on the opposite wing.Also would look at him as a defensive wing, fast enough to get onto offence if needed, but can also cover the ground to pressure on any front stoppage exits from the oppo. Can then get on his bike on turnover to drive forward.
