I would take him. This is our chance to show the footy world we are a Great club. We have the leaders and culture to turn his life and career around. If he is willing to put in the hard yards then it's a no brainer. And to those morons that are saying it's Lovett mk II well that is nonsense. We wou...

I don't care about Callum Twomey's strike rate. He's either making this up, or...he's doing a favour for Thomas's family and friends, testing the water. Seeing how supporters would react. Twomey would be on X and this forum, gauging reaction. There's nothing in this. TT is more trouble than he's wo...

We also forget the bloke is 23 which fits our age demographic like Liam Henry (22), Owens (20), Windhager (20), NWM (21), Phillipou (19), Dow (24), Battle (26), King (23), Stocker (24), Wilson and Schoenmaker (18). This is the core that is going to take us further than before.

According to Cal Twomey we are linked to him and he announced it on his podcast Gettable. He’s usually right, and predicted Paddy Dow this time last year and he’s here. I say get him in. Like it’s no draft picks to get him. Just straight salary. We got a good indigenous community with Aunt Katrina a...

I think with all the personnel out we are in trouble and look unlikely to beat them there. Battle and Wilkie will be on Hawkins and Cameron because Ross will more likely play Schoenmaker because of Dougal Howard’s injury, so we are screwed there. You could argue Cordy will play over Schoenmaker whic...

Some more things to add for todays training report: 1. Dougal kicking bullets in the drills. 2. Collard is in Perth with Covid. Make with that what you will. Is it because he’s homesick and doesn’t want to come home or he’s genuinely sick? Could mean Garcia might be debuting round 1 with Butler miss...

Been reading a lot of posters here and on BF praise Ross for playing the kids last year in support of their argument Ross is now a proven developer of kids as part of the wider argument about his ability to rebuild a list from the ground up into a flag team. As we know he only had a win rate of 33%...

This is a rumour and I’m not one to believe them but I did read on BigFooty by one of the posters that Schoonerdeleter was late for training one time without explanation and a player had to go pick him up. Maybe that has something to do with it? AGAIN only a rumour and not fact. It would be nice if ...

I can confirm that Lance wanted to leave WA and really wanted to join a Victorian club. There was at least one other Victorian team that was very keen to recruit him, given how impressed they were with his maturity and self-drive. But the Saints got in first, and the rest is history. Good to hear!

Saw this on big footy the other day. Apparently Batchelor said nearly the same thing in a session after this one to Caminiti. Hammer did a big running sesh and then pulled up hunched over at the end and Batchelor waltzed over and said either walk it out or jog it out but not to show weakness. Ross w...

I:'ve just rung the club about my membership, and the nice lady I spoke to- Shannon (I think) when I mentioned about Lethers walking, I could hear a little chuckle in her tone, and I could picture her smiling... She said there was lots of talking and activity around the place today, I think she sai...

History shows the hard line works. Only with a list that is in the premiership window and with a group of mature match hardened and conditioned bodies. Ross failed in his only attempt at a rebuild and one of the greatest criticisms he was receiving in his final year at Freo was he only had a one-si...

Can we win the 2024 premiership? - Potentially. A lot has to go right. Steele for Brownlow, King for Coleman and Wilson for rising star. Rowan, Steele, Sinclair and Wilkie are all Australian.

100k members? Without a chance no way.

Ross has had plenty of players fail to develop under his coaching, in fact he is notorious for not being a developmental coach (hence the role of Carroll) in days gone by, it’s been reported that he hardly speaks to guys outside the top 26 players - especially if he doesn’t rate them I’d argue diff...

The kid has got some serious X factor.

I’ve watched a few of his VFL games this year and he turns it up. I hope he debuts this year and gets a string of games going and tag team with Marshall just like Marshall and Ryder and teams were scared of those two.

Sorry if I am not amused with what you now claim was a sarcastic post. :roll: :roll: Completely understandable, you have limited amused moments to give on an annual basis so save them for that rare impossible opportunity. They say sarcasm is the lowest form of intelligence… makes sense that it’s Vo...

Would love to know the exact role of the following Stephen Silvagni Gubby Allen Simon Dalrymple Who is doing list management Who is doing trading Who is doing drafting All three are vastly different and require different skill sets List Management - Gubby Trading - SOS Drafting - Dalrymple

Many will look back on the Toce era with rose coloured glasses- the 2 x academy boys , the south Australian boys in Wilkie, Sharman , Nas and Pou, and possibly Keeler , plus throw in possibly Wilson & Collard from this years draft. Even more so if one of the other players I have not mentioned f...

Just saw on the channel 7 news that Dan Butler is going in for another round of ankle surgery and will be setback in his prep for pre season. Haven’t seen it reported anywhere else. I broke my ankle and needed surgery and it takes a long time (3-6 months) to get it back to proper form and I was ver...

Hey CQ if they ever make a sequeal to Charile and the Chocolate Factory I reckon you would be perfect for the role as Willy Wonka. :lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIYNk4ARUR8 We're switching to the Pied Piper, I'm still the lead, Vortex is a rat and wants to know if you wanna sniff some chees...

I went down today! Great atmosphere. Phillipou did some amazing things. He was thrown in the guts and at stoppages and was either setting up goal assists, first clearing player or kicking the goal. He’s going to blow up. Henry and Dow are just with the team. Henry missed a couple of kicks under pres...

I hope we go deep into finals. Knock off Melbourne, get a win over Port and Brisbane as we are due for one and take it to Collingwood. I hope we win that “special cup” as RTB has put it.

Everyone knows they talk contracts after halfway through next year because the kid will be playing for a massive deal. Will still only receive a 2 year deal and told his massive deal will come at the end of the 2 years if he's earnt it. This is news to me. I thought Vortex you try and do a Nick Dai...
