Re: 3 things learned from Rd 14 vs Fremantle 2024
1. Rory Lobb's trade value went up considerably today.
2. Ed Richards is becoming a very good mid fielder.
3. Bob Murphy won't enjoy the flight back to W.A How sad !

1. Statement games don't come much better. Both for the club and for the big, gangly bloke in the number 7.
2. It's clear how much we missed Richards and Wightman.
3. Anyone who "just doesn't see it" with Bramble and Gallagher after today never will.

You realise Gags had 6 disposals today - not his best game

1. How fickle supporters are - Lobb chants going around the ground. Last week calling for his head
2. How important is ED in the middle
3. Congrats to West. I thought he would never make it, but through sheer persistence, he has turned out pretty good

5 of those 6 were score involvements and two were goals. Decent strike rate if you ask me.

1. Our absolute best can match it with anyone in the competition
2. Weightman is so important to this team. I have no doubt Weightman playing also helped West get off the leash.
3. I didn?t think it was possible, but Bont surprised me again. He is even better than I thought. GOAT Bulldog.

His first goal came from a very sketchy HTB decision. Also had 3 clangers.

Re: 3 things learned from Rd 14 vs Fremantle 2024
1. Richards is fast becoming my favourite player.
2. Dale's game will go under the radar because Bramble was also so good, but Dale was taking the game on like a champion and was cutting through them.
3. Gallagher having 6 touches, and half of them being clangers, does nothing to help me 'see it'. I'm perplexed by any calls that suggest he had anything but a poor game.

Bramble who has filled an absolute critical need and despite a few errors has done it well shouldn’t be grouped with Gallagher.

Re: 3 things learned from Rd 14 vs Fremantle 2024
1. Our best is awesome
2. Our backline is held together with system, but a bit light on talent.
3. No midfield is better than Bont. Libba, Adz. and Red.

Re: 3 things learned from Rd 14 vs Fremantle 2024
1. Weightman back makes West look better (take the better defender)
2. First time we have seen a combo of Bont, Ada, Libba and Ed in the midfield, works well
3. Two calls up forward seems to work better than 3.
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

Gallagher played a role, had a few bad moments, but managed to be relevant with two good goals.
A guy just exposed to senior footy shouldn't have this much angst attached to him.
TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

How do you have 2 clangers that get registered as a score involvement? Possibly all 3 were?
