Can I ask the group - what do people see in Henry? I know there's plenty of Henry lovers on here...

accurate delivery into the F50. A link up player helping us with our super fast transition from turnover with good disposal. i.e. a colyer who is slightly slower but has better disposal and 10 years younger. I don't know what isn't obvious that you may be looking for - our next centre half forward? Assistant coach for the defensive line? Backup ruck?

Today at training Amiss and Henry were by far the cleverest around goal, but he has to find away to get the ball. Has amazing skill.

And learn how to tackle, chase defensively, put his body into a contest.

All the negative nellies are running out of things to complain about so it’s back to Henry. We’ve got so much depth we can afford to develop him slowly, our kids have come on so quickly people have forgotten that it’s not normal to be like Chappy or Serong. I highly doubt fan pressure is going to help him develop quicker and think he needs some time without all the endless hand wringing on every game.

If Henry had Banners game on the weekend this place would be like…

Henry has a lot of potential. I’m not judging the guy yet.

Very miscellaneous question here...

I haven't lived in Perth for...practically forever. I keep seeing clips of JL being interviewed on channel 7 by some bloke who looks like he desperately needs to empty his bladder.

Who is he and why does he ask the most annoyingly rehearsed questions I have ever heard? Also, why can't he sit still?

I'll bite, but it would be good if this didn't become another "lovers and haters" thing - I think we've seen where that leads...

Personally, I haven't seen anyone who "loves" Henry as such, rather there are a lot (me included) who think he has the potential to develop into a really skilful and valuable player. He also has the potential to stagnate and become a list clogger, but at 20 years of age and still not fully developed physically I'm prepared to cut him some slack.

We all complain when players are cut from our list and go on to become valuable players at another club. Right now we have great the depth which should allow Liam at least another season - what we see now is nowhere near the finished product.

That would be Ryan Daniels.

 

[JohnnyDocker94]

The thing is - he hasn’t shown much improvement if any since his first season. Doesn’t get what’s needed at this level

I agree. Watch his efforts v NM , too standoffish, doesn’t embrace contact, turnovers , skill errors etc etc.
wish him well but looks way off the level atm

**** me dead every single thread after every single game turns into a "let's pile on a whole **** ton of unnecessary hate onto a kid who is essentially entering his second year of footy after his first was written off due to injury." Is it really that hard to make an entire thread to wank off on Henry hate and keep it from derailing every other thread on this board.

Ryan Daniels. Has taken the mantle from a one Bazil Z. at channel Eagle - who depending on how long since you’ve been in Perth, is the media personality who used to frequent such places as the hippie club at 2am with west coke eagles

Ryan actually whilst a WCE supporter, is also very complimentary of freo and the wider league

Give him a shot, he’s decent. Download hard ball gets podcast, he’s on it and speaks well with knowledge

I think Ryan Daniels on television can be regarded as a different entity to the Ryan Daniels of reporting/podcasts/twitter. His 'tv personality' is like Pav* in a way, where they are just putting on this performance almost like a new pair of clothes and off tv they take it off and become their natural selves again.

*Should say almost like every single person ever who goes on TV, it's all fake personality and forced rhetoric.

Daniels and McArdle are the only two good sports journalists in WA

I like Duff and Quarters. They’re back on the rotation after giving the other bloke Skeet the bump last season

Erasmus was playing inside mid though right amongst the ball a lot of the time. Henry will come good people are just super impatient with him and fearing he won't make it. Shai Bolton was performing similarly at the same age, these sort of players take a while to build confidence because they are so light.

It is only his 3rd season and one of those seasons had no wafl footy at all.

I think he can make it as a HHF if he can't get into the wing too.

I think Henry will come good too.

However all sides with depth end up having players squeezed out because of money or lack of opportunity. If we did bring in Gus Brayshaw we could accelerate that kind of dilemma.

This is why my vote is going to Cesoir in the coming election.

Any idea when our indigenous jumper designed is released?

Im hanging out for 3D anchor jumper to be released during Retro Round. Can only dream.

 

[StingBitten]

Anyone else not loving the lack of Duff and Quarters detailed descriptions?

I want to click on 'The lid is off Fremantle 23:46' rather than trawl through the podcast about random Eagles DV perpetrators and shit talkers.

It's definitely coming this year

Hey guys, been a huge lurker on Bigfooty for years but don't often post.

I was curious about our team last week and found out a quirky stat. Our average games played was 65.3, if you take out Mundy it was 51.9.

Gold Coast in the first game of their history fielded a team with an average games played of 53.6!

While Mundy was obviously super important on the weekend, it's a crazy thought that without him we would've smashed North Melbourne with a team that's less experienced than day 1 Gold Coast lol

Love everyone's work btw, I'm going back to what I do best (lurking)
