Just saw a lovely little video from north of Winston Abraham presenting Howe with his jumper. Bloody legend Winston, looking up his highlights is a good way to fill some time on a Sunday evening.

The Gaff comment.....I think they need to make a call about Gaff or Sheed. If they get rid of Sheed, he will be sacked with no value....If they get rid of Gaff they may get a 2nd round draft pick.

Eagles were $3.16 for the derby just before half time in their game, surely they continue to get closer.
Ross's time was up. He had lost the players and treated the members/supporters with distain with the way he spoke to the media not realising that every time he spoke to them was actually a time he could have been addressing those that were paying his wages.
Break has done him the world of good.
Longmuir has to be commended for bringing the group back together but and it's massive but he is of the same negative football school of Ross with no consideration given on how he is going to improve scoring- he's acknowledged repeatedly the need to do it but so far the only idea that he has voiced is "natural improvement" that was 2 preaseasons ago now and that wonderfully ideology has strangely enough produced no fruit.
Even after sat night he mentioned how losing the centre bounce was a big obstacle in winning the "territory battle". Even getting flogged in the middle they had more inside 50s than north, it's not about a "territory battle" it's highest score wins. Round 1 took 63 inside 50s for 7 goals, Collingwoodwood sat has 6 goals from their first 12 inside 50s.
It's just such negative boring footy that doesn't stand up and actually keeps the opposition in games you seemingly dominate as much if not more than it allows you to steal games where you are poor.

GWS yesterday kicked themselves out of the game and appeared to be out on their feet by the 2nd qtr. My opinion only but GWS or “The orange tsunami” as there coach ridiculously addresses the side to his players will finish bottom 2. Admittedly they had a tough game the week before but you can’t lose as many players as they have over the past 3 years and remain a good side. WC played one qtr and to me appeared to slow in the last half. Will probably strip fitter this week.
Freo Sat night were all over the shop again but at least theres plenty of room for improvement. JL copping plenty of flack deservedly but how would you be facing up to RTB and AC with new sides first two rounds of the season. When you think about it he was like a deer in the headlights.
Western Derby Freo to bounce back by 20 pts.
Just wish both teams had their best sides on the ground.

Freo/Chariots what are your thoughts on Henry? Frustrates the beejezuz out of me, so many errors, zero effort after he makes an error or loses a contest.
That said if I can ever get away from focusing on his floors occasionally he does offer something. I'd like to just see him on the wing all season, basically Liam we are backing you in-we want to see where you can get to building game on game. That way if he is still where he is at now come the end of the year at least he can move on with the club and also anyone that wants to speculate on what he could be very clear on what he actually is. He has never shown what has been trumpeted, hes not fast, his skills and decision making are poor and he applies little pressure. But he does appear to be able to run all day, occasionally is creative, there's no one else!

Liam Henry is on the improve, showing a bit more grit this year, but he’s one of those players who will play well when the team plays well.
ODriscoll if he was playing for a Victorian side would be a star of the future. As I understand he’s injured, if he’s not he should be straight back in for good.
