Re: Ben Reid our next key defender?

No chance in hell of getting him. We would need to break the bank and the salary cap just won't allow us to do that and unfortunately we don't have Visy or Channel 9 to boost the wages of our players unlike certain other teams. A better option would be to chase Mitch Brown from the Eagles. Big stron...

Re: $8.78 million

The key things this will be the resignings. A players worth is exactly what he would be paid on the open market. So guys like Kosi an Gram are currently, it appears, dramatically overpaid. The most either would get offered by another club at this stage of their careers is about $200K, Gram maybe a l...

Re: Round 12 Team v Adelaide

I am surprised that Saad didn't get a rest given the concussion.
It is no surprise to see Newnes out for Fisher but I thought Simpkin had done enough to keep his spot above Gwilt or Clarke.

Re: 10+ years member jumper

This is just cynical rubbish by the club. We are honouring 10 year plus members by letting them donate $250 to the club and in return get a $50 jumper with their name printed on it somewhere. I have been a social club member for 15+ years but no way will I be doing this. I have a Rebels membership a...

Re: Suns at 8 dollars

I put $20 on the Giants for the first game of the year against the Swans. At $17 for a two horse race I thought it was just too tempting. Lost but it was wortha shot.

Re: Guess this weeks ins and outs

saintspremiers, statistics can be misleading as we know with the Ablett V Dale Thomas scenario last week. A player can have only 10 possessions yet have a huge impact on the game, whilst a players can have 50 possessions and not have a meaningful influence. Healthy debate is good btw, no need for a...

Re: MRP Round 10

Do we get player reports? Of course not. Clearly we do! Any Fantasy Footy coach will tell you that! Number of disposals, kicking efficiency, tackles, 1%ers, pressure acts, clangers, dream team points....all measure performance of a player. These are just raw stats and we can draw our own conclusion...

Re: Grant Thomas comments on Kosi

I don't doubt that Kozi works hard at his preparation now. This year he is definately getting the rewards and playing really well. However, it is also impossible to argue that he has been a massive disappointment for a great part of his career. His performances have not been those of a number two dr...

Re: Lyon sniffing around

Well what I don't understand is the article says he needs "nippy on-ballers".
BJ, Monty and Dal are talented and skilled but you wouldn't say any of them are nippy particularly BJ and Dal.
If he is looking for pace then are our experienced players is the last place he would look for it.

It is a great timeslot for those of us who don't have kids as well. Go to the footy, then listen to the players in the Social club after the game and then out to dinner and home by 11:00.

Re: Dear Ross Lyon

I am not sure that Freo is the best location for Ross.
His style of football is very tiring and I am not sure it will be easy to implement week in week out on the large open WACA ground.
It is very hard to stifle the opposition when there is so much room to play with.

Re: Is Kosi OK?

Well that would explain a lot. I remember saying to my friend at the game "That I had never seen a player that slow before as he was in the 1st quarter".
He did improve a little as the game wore on but still a poor night by him.

Jimmy is playing though. Perfect replacement for Blake. I am afraid I don't agree at all. Jimmy's greatest strengths are his ability to run and carry and his ability to deliver the ball coming out of defence. His biggest weakness in the defensive role is playing against the big beast forwards which...
