3rd on the ladder at this stage, happy with that. Good to see the blokes like Les and Thomo who came in late play good games. Developing some great depth.
WC, would want to win this weekend I reckon. Otherwise bye bye 2014.
Gws vs The Saints Hmm flip the coin. basket cases. But yeah BJ a couple of good young guys on the scene. But they had no opposition ah.
When you look at the ladder....you think WTF are they in third place for. I mean they struggle to beat the lesser sides in the comp., [ wet toast for example ]
Not a bad effort for an away game, gee it must have taken it out of you a little having to travel to the other side of town to the Docklands. Just as well you have a 9, yes a 9 day break until you play the lowly Dees at the G on Monday week. But wait, the Dees will be the home side there, shock horror, 2 away games in a row, there is no justice, this will have cockhead Ed ranting.
While we're all talking about the mighty Pies, how good has the development and drafting been down there for the past 5 or 6 years. Two young players fighting for spots get late call ups last night and the side doesn't miss a beat. Langdon at pick 65 is an absolute rare diamond, Scharenberg and Freeman our two top ten picks from last years draft haven't even played yet. Plenty of upside at Pie land.
BTW, a bloke called Ben Reid will also be back soon.
Touche on the age thingy....but not to worry, guns like Langford, Hallahan, Hartung etc are looking good to fill those creaking midfield spots at the least. Could go all pearshaped of course...but early signs are good.
I get reminded of our as yet untested recruiting strategies..... I remind them of a teams woeful round one performance.... really anyone who thinks collingwood are a force to be reckoned with are kidding themselves.
The 2014 premiers will be one of hawthorn, port, Sydney, fremantle and doubtfully geelong. No one else need get too excited.
for making some silly calls at times , but mate you are kidding yourself if you're not putting the pies in your league. Yes , I'll get called a closet pie lover, of which I can assure you, I'm not. You will be struggling to replace KP stocks, when they and a few other teams are settled - Fact!
Four teams have beaten fremantle this year, I have included three of those in the premiership race. The fourth, north melbourne are too inconsistent to be considered serious contenders. Geelong have failed against fremantle and failed badly against sydney and I put them in the doubtful category. Collingwood have beaten the swans at a time of the season when the swans weren't beating anyone..... things change. I would love to see collingwood play the swans now, or hawthorn, or even geelong... beating the teams down the bottom ain't anything to be excited about....
your saying there, but how are you going to cover the likes of Pav , Mcpharlin, sooner than later, please dont say your pinning your hopes on Gumby as a key forward.
We won games last year without pav, without mcpharlin, without sandi. We've won this year without mcpharlin. When will you guys realize we have the players to fill a role. Let's say sandi goes down now? Clarke and griffen step up. Pav goes down, gumby is ready to come in, fyfe barlow or mundy go down, sylvia or Morabito are waiting to step up. Fremantle are ready. We won't lose another home and away game.
And what do you base any of those ill informed statements upon? Mora may not be fit enough yet, he hasn't played afl for three years. Can I remind you he played 21 games I think in his debut season. The kid is quality. Absolute quality. He will get his chance at Freo. And that says a lot. There wouldn't be many midfielders who could break into the current freo midfield, but he will be one of them.
Mundy always holds off contract talks until season end. Nothing to worry about there. Throw as much mud as you like. Our superstars stay loyal unlike many others who chase money or premierships. Purple blood lasts forever.
I did say superstars. Jack wasn't and freo made tarrant into a quality defender. The only reason he went back was because his missus wanted to. There were suggestions for a while that he was going to stay and tell her to pack up....
you guys for Clement and Medhurst, I remember a few years back you could have fielded a team of your discards that would have flogged the purple people eaters
To be fair I don't really follow any other team full stop so I was relying on the commentary which I thought said his first game back. Anyway he kicked more in goals in one game than choke had possessions in a recent game, and he's coming off a knee recon!

Sorry John you'd be wrong - hate them regardless of win/lose :-)
My biggest problem would be who to barrack for in a pies/port grand final (as a crows supporter) the answer would be the pies (only just)
Reason - I work in Port Adelaide and wouldn't have to listen to the pies supporters to the same extent if they won.....
Might go watch a reply of the crows/pies match :-)

Gumby? Body not up to it unfortunately.
Morabito? According to Ross not fit enough to play in the midfield, plus he will have his own mental demons.
Silvia? A perennial underachiever.
Pav, McPharlin and Sandi. Guys who wont be replaced with the snap of your fingers when old age catches up with them (shortly).
Fyfe and Mundy? May be looking elsewhere.
