      Well done Pratty! Speaks to the impact he’s had on the squad already.

        He has been very good.

        Back line performing well. Forward line sweet. Midfield good, but inconsistent. Never been as good since Corey left?

          It's been a very positive change for the club and despite Rohan Smith doing a good job previously. Pratt has been able to adapt and utilize the talent we have available. The club made some very good changes to the footy department for this season.

          Tend to think that Joel Corey's departure due to the soft cap reductions that were enforced by the AFL has been a big loss but we have had plenty of time to overcome that.

            Re: Assistant Coaches

            Pratty has done well.

            I wonder if you’d told him to start the year no Richards, Daniel down back and Lobb as CHB he’d have taken on the job? He’s transitioned that part of the ground well. Duryea replacement next. Hoping we can see some development in the Buss too.

                  Demoted in role every year at Freo. But we are chasing him.

                    It's in a media department and club ambassador role.

                      As long as it is not a football department role.

                        That would be a good spot for him.

                          That's his wheelhouse - he would add nothing of value to our footy dept IMO.

                            Yeah, the article mentions us wanting Bob to return a role similar to the one he had with us before leaving for Freo.

                            Media, club ambassador and working with W program, whilst working in the media. I think it'll be a great get for the club as our media relations seem to suck. We have very little friends in the media and a lot of enemies.

                              Rough week on the track? Step into Bob's office and shake it out with some hacky sack and a low ABV pale ale.
