Gresh was better than petracca this year, just didn't have the hype. if petracca had kicked a goal like gresh they'd all still be talking about it. and jakovich just has to round his 5 off with a WA team player in wellar.

If Frawley wasn't voting gresh would have been stuck on 1 lol

as long as the club doesn't try to make this out as that "big fish" we were chasing I'm happy to have him.

The freo fans love him too much, they would keep him for the future marketing potential alone.

Savage absolutely. I think quite a few others can give it a roost but not with any reliable accuracy.

Can only improve with fitness. I could get on board if they get in athletic shape, as in given the opportunity to do so without having to work elsewhere. Should have a go at bringing over a couple of the ladies from the Australian rugby sevens team that played in the olympics. That Charlotte Caslick...

maybe we can throw in some extra hypodermic needles that we have lying around, heard they might be running low on supplies.

Yup but our old tom lynch made the 40 with just about every stat lower than nicks. AA no credibility

What I didn't understand during the season was the commentary about our captaincy change. Steven had a great year but every time he had a real good game the comments were "oh gee, he has to be captain after that" this coming from people who have bloody played the game, please tell me they ...

By the way, they do not "already have one pick ahead of us" which is why I asked the question. Technically they do :P they have collingwoods pick. OK. I didn't know that. Con's answer didn't mention it. But that is what I was trying to find out. Yeh I know, just makin fun. It's not really...

By the way, they do not "already have one pick ahead of us" which is why I asked the question. Technically they do :P they have collingwoods pick. Plus they won't use that pick on an acadamy player knowing they can squeeze a second top10 picks by using it on someone else and then using po...

oh that knee swelling 8\

Interested that Caro thinks that Roos will be coaching a side in 2018. She has a massive crush on Roos. But who might it be? Tigers? Pies? Yeah, the supercoach who on a multi-million dollar salary over three years took his team from seventeenth to ... eleventh. How could anyone look past him? Cmon ...

Will conveniently make a decision in October.

haha every statline better than lynch. What absolute nonsense.

Haven't bothered looking at prospects just yet. What top 5 prospect is Sydney getting this year? What an absolute joke this system is, 20 years and the swans have missed finals what? 3 times? and never in consecutive years? Gee what a terrifically well run club, whats their secret to success? Anythi...

I remember a lot of the football community thought him playing till 2018 was a dream.

It's only his knees holding him back and my heart is in my mouth whenever the commentary says Reiwoldt is slow to get up, but he keeps on trucking like an absolute champion.

I would have been happy with a few less, 12 is well beyond expectation. The great thing is, its easy to see where there is more improvement to be made.

He's a bit stiff actually and Hardwick on the other hand, leads a charmed life. bit stiff? 130 points conceded per game. Tactically not up to it. Non finals team scoring heavily: Saints 161 Port 173 Suns 139 Freo 147 Dees 131 Pies 143 You could take a couple of those but that's half the teams takin...

I think we would do well to finish about the same next year, the draw wil be harder but we should have improved. We might even have won 1 or 2 more games this year if Carlisle was in, and we probably would have beaten port if that game was late season instead of early. But the concept also applies t...

10 scores this year over 100 is an incredible Improvement, if our midfield gets better we will be a force.

Agree with the consensus, not enough benefit around the ground. You need a ruckman who can take overhead marks on the bailout kicks and occasionally link up play and drift forward to keep the opposition honest.

That and his age leaves little time to improve.
