Enjoy.


Or Cry.


Whatevas driving those emotions.

 

[rgauci]

I also fully expect him to tear us a new one in the match on Saturday, while we're trying different mid combos

Nah…

 

[freo1997]

Still want us beating these slobs by 50. Practice Match results don’t matter but they are a basket case with aging hacks still playing. We need to treat them like the witches hats they will be in 24.

“Tough guy” Yeo has been beating up the eagles possibles line up…literally.

Let’s see him do that v Fyfe, Serong, Brodie etc.

On Yeo..

Is he the anti-Fyfe?

When Fyfe was out injured, Yeo was dead. Now they're both seemingly fully fit and healthy.

Have had some epic match ups through the years, it's just weird that their health seems entwined.

What’s Traecys pass mark for the season so that we don’t pursue Logan McDonald

 

[ignoramus]

Am I right in assuming this will be broadcast on Foxtel ?
And if planning on attending, do we need to buy/secure a ticket ??

Have to register for a ticket through eventbrite. Notice was sent to members on Friday. Limited capacity, so there's a good chance they've been snapped up?

25-30 goals. Consistent performer, with no more dropped marks. Entrenched in the best 22.

35. that's less than 1.5/game

Personally I think it’s more a collective.
If Jackson amiss and Treacy can kick 100 goals between them in 2024 @ their age we should back them in.
Amiss 45
Jackson 30
Treacy 25
If McDonald kicks 50 still have to pursue him

 

[Sherriff Incorporated]

Have this thought with Rowell/Reid types that are so dominant at underage level, and show something playing as the 4th or 5th mid in the VFL in their junior years, that because they've matured so early, there's not a lot more room to grow.

They'll still be exceptional players, but others will outgrow them.

Back in the day we had a player by the name of Riley Dunn who was supposed to go top 5 in the draft but slipped to us at 10. At the time most freo supporters were elated to get him but he was delisted without even playing 50games from memory. He fit the exact description of player you are describing.

 

[gaskin]

What’s Traecys pass mark for the season so that we don’t pursue Logan McDonald

Different players with different roles. Treacy needs to go at least a goal a game for me to be a pass mark.

I don't want McDonald, though.

 

[millsy]

I get the hypotheticals around what would or wouldn't need to happen to make McDonald worthwhile, but the reality is we're not waiting until the year plays out before making a pitch right?

 

[wakojako]

What’s Traecys pass mark for the season so that we don’t pursue Logan McDonald

I think it's inevitable because Treacy won't kick 30+ goals and MacDonald has a higher ceiling.

 

[freo_leo29]

Treacy would have to kick 50 for me to not want McDonald


We will go for McDonald for sure, hopefully he wants to come

If Treacy gets anywhere near 50 then we have won a premiership, it ain't happening

 

[Hamann188]

It'll be acceptable. Almost desirable.

 

[JammoMonty]

What’s Traecys pass mark for the season so that we don’t pursue Logan McDonald

Win the Coleman and backflip over Sean Darcy with Switta on his shoulders. I won’t accept anything less than this

 

[Duz97]

Yeah I don’t actually want McDonald would prefer Treacy the one I actually prefer is zuurhar to replace Sturt

 

[Sherriff Incorporated]

That way we keep all three of the first rounders and let Walls go to work.

We can’t keep going to draft
Needs to be used on developed talent
Try and poach Pickett Warner or the like
WA born in the 2017-2020 draft demographic

It's more having a list/team that are mostly aged on their prime at the same time.

We're still young on average but we're getting to the point where anyone older than the 2016 draft crop (Darcy, Cox etc) are in their 30s by the time draftees start to reach their prime. Even Alex Pearce hits 30 next year and short of us recruiting a ready made replacement, he'll be difficult to replace.

Our best 22 last year was younger on average than just about everyone we played. We were about the 2nd or 3rd youngest playing list.

Thanks - I asked after trying the eventbrite page and seeing it said ‘sold out’ .
I was hoping I was barking up the wrong tree - sadly I wasn’t.

I'm sure I've got my purple glasses on and I've probably pegged us a couple of spots too high this season, but...

I just waded into the ladder prediction thread on the main board and see poster after poster having us finishing below NM, Ess, Rich, Saints etc etc.

I know I should ignore it, but **** me, start the season already.
