Wishful thinking on their part imo as they thought they had got rid of the West being besotted by Nic - and now it’s Harley lol! Mind you in saying that the West do go over the top in their reporting on Harley - particularly on the back page.Have you been to the Fremantle board
They’re convinced he is going to bail after this contract x

Actually Maric, ball use is very good, Darling was back to his best running up and down the ground providng a target, Ryan was getting involved. Again it all starts with winning at the contest and we also started to score from transition.Kick in tactic is clear as day to me. Pack one side of the ground and have a forward make a 100m lead up the ground for McGovern to find lace out.
We did this a good 5 times today. Most notable one was Waterman literally making 100m lead which took him a good 1 minute to complete mind you but we hit him on the chest and simply split Demons open after.
Its how to use the fact we have so many tall leading forwards to our advantage really. Not many teams can swap Ryan, Darling, Waterman, Maric out as players to lead and take a contested grab. Just using a strength to our advantage, with what you lose and that can be defensive pressure on the half backs
Aaron Edwards (born 2 March 1984) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the West Coast Eagles, North Melbourne Football Club and Richmond Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). Edwards also played for the Frankston Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and in 2022 played in the Southern Football Netball League for St Kilda City.I still want to see Culley back in the team, i feel he can add a lot, another big body around the contest he can kick goals. I would bring him in for Aaron Edwards or JJ
In fact when Yeo, Culley and Hewitt are in i dare say Edwards, JJ and Sheed may be out
Aaron Edwards still needs time and is worth persisting with
Still missing Oscar, Yeo, Long, Flynn, Culley and Hewett folks. Six first 22 players (well I guess the latter three are still marginal).
Obviously this won't happen every week but for the first time in a long time I am bullish about our future. Four quarter performance against a premiership contender and smashed them in most key aspects that measure dominance (scoreboard, inside 50s, clearances, pressure acts etc). There will still be big losses this year, for sure, but I now know they will reduce as the players develop. They all seem to really enjoy their footy at the moment, genuinely.
Someone in the post match thread on Reddit said it was like fan fiction which sums it up pretty well.Harley giving the don't argue to Oliver and Pretracca in one play.
Is that real?
I am concerned that I might be dreaming, but it seemed real at the time.
The kick ins are an interesting one.
Felt like Ryan was involved a lot in that, the HFFs really pushed up well and it caught Melbourne off-guard.
The more we do it the more oppo coaches will try and stifle it, so it becomes a new battle now of when do you pull it out? How creative can you get with dummy leads and using another option etc.

I'm the same, with less beers. But watching a replay to see what happened and how.Being such a late start and playing golf in the morning I was already a few cans deep by bouncedown.
Then as the game went on so did the beers even quicker.
Need to watch game a again I think, a bit fuzzy by the end of it
All the major contributors have been mentioned a few times but I would like to give a shout out to JJ. Didn't get a heap of it but did have 7 marks and kept presenting as an option which added to our spread which in turn ran Melbourne rugged.
Hunt was surprisingly quite against his old mob, thought he may have one of his better games.
Also, how F-N good is Harley. He goes out of his way to find the oppo's best mids just to fend them off.
People have very short memories around here. He was just about best player in the league in 2018 before getting injured.Totally agree, he threw Mcdonald around who is significantly bigger & very strong himself.
And no disrespect to darling, but I don't think he's ever reached these heights
