All I heard for years was how bad the Lions' facilities were. I don't know if that's changed?
We supposedly have the best you can buy but our whole team is injured or looks unfit.

Fair point, same principle applies though. I know there's a soft cap etc....but we're the richest club in the league. If we don't have the best S&C staff on board then make it happen.
Worst case that I fear is the reality is that we think we do have the best S&C staff and aren't making any attempts at changing anything
Dylan82 is all over it. Apparently they started collaborating with a uni and figured out much better ways to identify leading causes of injuries and nip them in the bud before they became major.
Age of players has to play a role too. We had the lowest injuries in 2011 when we finally got our remaining veterans fit and had a team of young punks with strong bodies.

Good on Adelaide. Been smashed since 2017 and have got good kids coming through.
Can see definite progression.
We need to get games into kids

Bless em x They would have had a spring in their step as they went to the game today.
They’re due a loss. Probably next week one would think. Not watching, but will be monitoring the free kick count. Surely there won’t be a repeat of the GWS home game
Edit. Just saw 2-8 against at quarter time. VFL

Freo could be 5-1 while we are. 1-5 ....

Seriously, Darcy is just a dog of a player, saw him many times against us in the ruck just run at the player, with no attempt to even play the ball. And now tonight has taken out a player and looks like caused some serious injury.
Surely there has to be a change with this type of play. Does it ever get looked at by the MRO?

Freo are a good team. Thank **** Melbourne are head and shoulders above everyone right now.
Umpire should give a free kick every time , certainly didn't have eyes on the ball in that particular ruck contest .
This. If they finish top 4 and go deep....
They have had an easy draw so far but vastly improved , top end teams are few this season except Demons .

I think if they do finish top 4 they will be out of depth due to most of their squad having never played in a final before, if they play a Melbourne, Brisbane or Sydney first up I'd back them to lose.

We’d never be able to even attempt it with our current fitness. I’m sure we’d probably like to but it’s hard to press when you can’t keep up.
Our current squad fitness is similar to what would happen if a bunch of us blokes lined up next week. Nothing that can be done unfortunately. We either play WAFL guys with inferior fitness or we play the AFL guys off no preseason

every club boos a good player that bailed out. At least juddy and slyce waited till after a premiership.Genuinely stoked for freo, tall poppy rearing its head, but melb can go get fked, hope whoever meets em at the g has the melb supporters garnishing their cheese boards with the salt of their tears. And good on the crows for getting the job done onthe doggies today aswell.
At least freo have a better song to sing!

Now i delete all this for unpopular opinion...
Hmm, that is taking it way, way too far. But hey if that’s how you feel
The only “positive” of Fremantle doing “well” is that it may give a bit more of a push for our club to act. There will be a lot of discontent if we remain failing whilst our closest rival become a force. The same thing happened in SA, Port becoming good causes the AFC to step up.
Mind you, it’s all relative and it’s the nature of the competition. Still a long way to go in the season for them (and us sadly with the way we are playing).
If they make top four they are doing very well. It could well be a case of straight sets though, ala Brisbane on their first trip back to finals.
I know at least one of the WCE physios is from Vic, listened to him on a podcast recently about the systems WCE use. Quite interesting to find out they use alot of ATG principles which are becoming quite popular after knees over toes guy was on Joe Rogan. They are also big proponents of Kelly Staret who i rate as one of the best physios out there (my physio who plays for the dockers AFLW side uses alot of his systems cured me of forearm tendonitis when no one else could).

I don't think the divide between west coast and freo has been as big as it is now.
Freo looks wicked and will probably have their first flag in the next few years.
We are looking at a decade of misery.
