The WC one is honestly much worse. Their forwardline is fine to good, it just doesnt get in there and their backs are often cooked. 18th is a joke

I notice from the club photos this morning, that Switta is back on the track.

Fairness compels me to agree. Watching him last year v us etc. I thought West Coast were fortunate to have him despite (in my recall anyway)not making much of a fuss of him.

Williams is not complete dogshit and will probably make a decent - at the very worst, highly competitive - forward/ruck. Best part about Williams' performance us last year was the interview with Dogga after the game, when asked about the matchup and he gives the full "Yeah nah, it was a great contest. He [Williams] is a great young ruckman..." - who is older than you, Dogga.

You could well be right, just saying that our forwards have a lot to prove to earn respect.
We probably rate players on where we project they will be, but rate other teams based on production (mostly, sometimes you can see a player will be a superstar before they deliver it).
Do we know the length of Saturdays scratchy?
Last year we played like 7 periods v the Crows but it was all on Kayo
Eagles played 6 against the power but the last 2 weren't televised, I was at the game (brother supports Port) so I got to see it all, bit worried they'll cut it after 4 (if it even is longer than 4)
We hosted the Crows and Eagles hosted Port (so Eagles may cut it again) unfortunately we can't get tix to this one, not as simple as last year to be able to watch (again, assuming 6 or 7 periods)

LOL they didn't really put WC last did they? Even the most one-eyed Freo fan wouldn't go that far...
The match sim squads for tomorrow’s games have been listed. For Sydney they have listed the notable absentees with a special mention to Hamling being a notable absentee. Has he progressed from WAFL to leading KPD all of a sudden.
AFL.com have a very loose definition of notable absenteeism. I would have thought regular player in 2023 or a champion of the game like Fyfe would make notable absentee list not a bloke who churned out two seasons in the WAFL.
If Sharp and McDonald didn’t make our squad (I reckon they will) they shouldn’t make the list of notable absentees.

With the injuries at the hawks I would have them a lock for bottom 2. North don't have the senior talent WC do. I think WC will finish in the 14-16th range. A touch higher if the senior players can stay on the park. Which given recent history is a big if!

Lots to say but the stand outs:
Firstly, it doesn't sound like a puff piece.
Great to see such unity and professionalism.
Great to get an insight into how JLo operates.
The think that gave gave it all so much cred were the reports from last friday's match sim watchers about the hardness and the intensity. It was great to read about the team build up that created that, they matched perfectly.
We have great reasons to be excited about 2024 - let's F*n Gooooooooooooooooooooooo.

That’s probably the most insightful piece I’ve ever read, thanks for posting!
So many takeaways from that but the one that got me most excited was the increased sprint work and gym results they’ve achieved this year.
Amazing article though, the author must have had incredible access to all parts of the club to write something like this

Could not be more clear in that article that we are trying to coach quick ball movement too.
Decisive is the word. That can mean either but when quick is on, a decisive team goes quick.

The numbers Young put up in the last month of 2023 are easily overlooked but I think Healy is on the money here. Young had been touted as an elite talent for most of his junior days and handled the shift to the midfield with aplomb.
He's in my top three of players I'm dying to see play this year.

Great read. Its given me a lot more confidence the right things are happening behind closed doors.This looks great:
