Send them back before you send them packing
Thanks Fred. Better now.
Go Freo, but not sure about the "honey" LOL

My thoughts and prayers are with the poor souls in the Sack Ken thread on the Port board this morning. I hope they can stay strong through these trying times...
Yeah that's fair. Even the Swans are a terrible Q1 team.
Probably just the long time Freo supporter in me, I just don't believe yet.
Yes, the form line is better than a lot of the top 8 for sure.
TBH, its because they know they are pretenders. It's just delaying the inevitable.
So Carlton only kicked 1 goal after half time.
Squiggle doesn't rate Carlton as highly as the general consensus. If you draw a 45 degree line (balanced attack and defense), you can see there are 3 clear tiers. They are in the 2nd tier. It still has them making a PF because of the banked wins and easy run home.
It's also interesting that the Crows are smack in the middle of that group and even the saints aren't that far off.
Dogs continue to be an enigma.
Squiggle is usually pretty good at long term trends and 20 rounds is probably enough.

Freo’s flight back from Tassie would have felt like 5 days, at least Carlton had indoor plumbing.

That tells me two things I already kinda knew:
1) The Dogs have everything they need to win the flag except for whatever the hell is going on between their ears
2) Collingwoods flag last year is perhaps the greatest anomaly and worst premiership year in the modern era.
Still, Sydney is dipping at the right time. Final 5 weeks to come back into form before finals. Also Brisbane is hitting their best: If they miss the top 2 and face Carlton (or Port or, sadly, us) away in the first week I'd back them to get the win. Just enough experience and disappointment to fuel them now and are peaking.
What a fascinating season of footy. I can't remember any like it and I'm very glad we're a big part of it. Will serve us well in the future.

Just on this, we’ve for so long been in the bottom right corner, it’s so pleasing to see us have the fifth strongest offence.

He does support freo for some reason. He's a south Australian boy though and wouldn't want to play anywhere else
Does he support us or did he just love Fyfe? I recall reading he was his favourite player and someone he modelled his game on.
We've given up a bit more defensively than I'd like, but hopefully that is just a bit of fine tuning.
If you are tslking of JHF then you should know his step father was on the verge of signing with Fremantle before doing his knee playing for South Fremantle. A very skilled and talented player.

I see people are leaving the key part of the Fabian Francis story out which was he was supposed to be signed by us in the preseaon draft in 2001 (technically the 2002 draft but you get the idea) but we had breached tpp and got excluded from the draft. Then he then had play WAFL on the agreement he'd be drafted the next draft, but did his knee.
wasn’t that the cap that we didn’t actually breach but the AFL thought we didn’t have enough fat in it thus believing we would likely exceed it ?
So therefore smacked us for an event that had not occurred but might.

Pretty sure we did breach it due to injury payments. Whether penalty was excessive or not is something separate.
Yes that is correct, it was a just in case that didn't happen. IIRC we would have been able to fit him into our cap as it turned out. The AFl were just being cautious. Felt there wasn't enough fat.
