TOPIC:

I'd start with sacking Brad Lloyd. Presided over:

Jayden Pitt (health, but hey, Jack darling)
Josh Simpson
Jack Anthony
Colin Sylvia
Michael Apeness
Harley Bennell

Ross has only had a B team to pick from most of this year, sometimes a C team. It's hard to maintain confidence without some sort of cohesion and quality in your side from week to week.

I wouldn't assume Harley Bennell will manage to play 20 plus games next year. Hopefully they have the best medical experts giving him the right program and medical science available to sort out his calf problems. He is too valuable a player to be sitting on the sidelines. Clearly his calves are vulnerable so I think he's going to have to be managed. I wouldn't think it's a priority for him to play any NAB Cup until the last week before the opening round.

Lyon will survive for another year, but Dawson, what a moron.

I would say the following players would be under the pump to retain their positions on the list given what has happened this year
Suban
De Boer
Mzungu
Hannath
Clarke
Clancee Pearce
Morabito
Dawson

Also with Pav and Chris Mayne leaving that potentially could be 10 players turned over. There is the possibility that there could be some other trades done for draft picks involving players like Barlow and Ibbotson. It will be a very interesting off season.

I hope that someone is keeping tabs on the WAFL as I think there are two key forwards (Cameron and Saunders) who are definitely worth consideration and I think both of them would slot into AFL well.

People have short memories first year Freo has missed finals under Lyon all of a sudden Lyon has lost the players, and then I read on here he's going to Richmond and break a multi million dollar 4 year contract.

You couldn't make this shit up there are some dumb posters that know nothing about footy , or they are just trolling.

Not a smart arse question - legit as don"t get to watch much WAFL these days, does Saunders have a defensive side to his game, early on in his career it was a glaring weakness

As good as he is Im not sure He would deliver at Afl level , but hey what have they got to lose.

Not sure it is a blatant troll, very minnimal chance something might happen in next 4 years which will be good for both Coach & Club. Think RTB game plan has drained the players

Freo wil rewire, replumb & restump so they will be fine..

Good call
