Two or three PREnders have been pushing back hard on the excuse narrative, josey.

It became clear three or five years ago. Individual GWS players lack football talent. All of them. 3yo+ narrative on PRE.

Pick a good one. (Not Preuss.)
I am a Callan Ward fan, Sam Taylor can play and Toby Greene is a gun.

Just a club with really poor footy ethics IMO. I do think if though if Hardwick was employed by them he would sack half the list.
They are high paid imposters that should have been better.

So Spargo tackles a West Coast player over the line, puts his arms out signalling that it should have been HTB (he was doing the HTB signal the umpire should have done). The umpire calls throw in. Yesterday that was paid as a 50 against Lynch.

What they need are some selfless players. Guys that put the team first like McIntosh, Broad, Nankervis.

Too many indivisual "stars" not enough blue collar workers

That's exactly the way I see it, josey.

Callan is getting on. Greene is a flawed genius.

On Sam Taylor. Ok. Josh Gibcus in his first game destroyed a very fresh Charlie Curnow. A very mature Sam Taylor recorded massive defensive stats on Charlie for 90(?) minutes. Charlie then kicked two on him, to be fair, under massive I50 supply.

Sam is not physically strong. He can jump and he is terrific defending smalls at ground level. Smart. I'm a fan. But imo he is not near the two stars of GWS - Greene and (crippled) Ward.

It is fair to decry the standards of individual GWS players. But that's not key IMO. And not orthodox for the GWS Players are All *smile* school.

We're not pushing back on the GWS coaching or values. We're pushing back on Supercoach points. Ring a rosy football. And AFL advertorial.

Nah the only person you’re not behind is the Kiss of Death. And even then you’re only level with him.

Are you pointing the finger at Redford's Western disinformation campaign, Ridley? Not unreasonable.

You wouldn't even feed half of those blokes at GWS Jack, couldn't even get up for the coaches last game.

He is the master of disinformation Jack. Pravda like. The Boris Komotsky of PRE.
I read exactly that on TikTok today, Riddles.

Murdoch press quiet on the whole deal. Is Peta Credlin in this "tipping competition"?

That's the thing, jake - they tried. They're just no good.

Well played by Josh W Kelly. Got massive super coach points and was destroyed. *smile*.

Who pays $1M for a fourth best mid, scoop?

And are AFL Product Ambassadors so brilliant that the give the Brownlow to a club's fourth best mid?

BTW JWK has battled #4 for GWS in his time.

*smile*.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t they already try Hird and it was a spectacular fail?
No! Robbo still sleeps with his Teddy called Hirdy.
I think if Hird ever got reappointed as a senior coach.
The AFL wouldve just signed its own death warrant.
The general public would be out raged.

Just asking, but, who gives a flying f*ck what Robbo likes and dislikes this week? He's a hack working for a down market tabloid which is busy trying to prove its relevance in an election where its chosen candidate is likely to lose.

Nothing to see here, literally nothing.

True
But I grew up respecting the news papers and the news.
But nowadays they beat to their own bias and restricted beat.
Example. Today. Hearld sun headline.
Richmond wait on incidents over the weekend, where it should've said Tigers too strong for young Hawks.
The Tv media Footy Show. Are they the real deal? 'can't tell, they have only beaten Collingwood WC and Hawthorn"
Who's Melb beaten Stkilda WC and Hawthorn but only 10pts.
Radio. They should make the 8, but they won't win it.
I guarantee if we get 1 or 2 kids to pop up like Bulter and Townsend in 17, not only are we a chance but we will be favourites.
Cumberland to replace Castagna
And Ralphsmith to replace Flappers.

I understand, your off the George bus, but never show disrepect to flappers. (y)
