Hopefully all is well with our legendary presidents.

Re: Sharp Axes

Craziest thing in that Big Footy post is ?the club thinks we are in the premiership window?!

We have a promising forward line and Bont.

We have three midfielders who are considered ?A grade? -Treloar, Macrae and Libba who basically play the same role and are all one paced and nearing the end. I don?t see how we can compete with all those three in the side.

We are in the perfect spot for a mini rebuild via the draft.

Except for the lack of draft capital in 2023. Unless the club passes on Croft.

They are the cause of our woes. The team has struggled to kick winning scores, under a dozen goals in most of the games. Second lowest ..points for.. of the first dozen teams on the ladder. Just cannot deliver when needed.

Re: Sharp Axes

Peter Gordon is more discrete than what is reported by the poster - so I call BS on that one.

Re: Sharp Axes

When?

I haven't heard a peep about Marcus and Luke not getting along. I call BS.

Put two/three quick and skilful mids in our team and watch how well the forward line functions.

Put a genuine interceptor into our team and watch how much quicker our mids look and how well the forward line functions.

Unfortunately, passing on Croft is increasingly appearing our only option. Midfield stocks are desperately low

Naughton, Jamarra and Weightman all look better when they are leading out. Unfortunately, 90% of the time they are all flying for the same ball after being bombed in by the mids.

Proof was last week against Richmond. Their mids are slower than ours and we were abe to move it so quickly to the forwards who had a day out. Not so against mids who are quick and break our tackles.

Re: Sharp Axes

On that I checked BF for the first time in about 15 years. Is the poster reliable?

Opinions will differ on who is a genuine ITK, but that poster has quite literally never posted an original piece of intel that is later proved correct, outside of things that could be considered a dart throw. Everything they share is essentially consolidating other rumours, a variation of someone else's inside info that "they also heard from their source", or vague guesswork that is impossible to disprove. No offence to the person who very well might get inside info for all we know, but they're yet to post a piece of inside information that proves them at all. Smiley Boy and cleveland are among the very few people I've seen post shit that more or less proves they actually do get something

If you had insider information like that, you wouldn't post it on a public forum. For starters the person telling you the information (if an insider), would ask for discretion.

Yeah this whole concept of sharing some of these things always baffled me. I've been told some pretty crazy shit in the past about things that have happened at the Dogs (specifically our AFLW side) and Freo (relating to their administration), but wouldn't dare post it publicly. I can only imagine the shitstorm that would cause for those who leaked the information, not to mention it just seems weird to post such serious things publicly at risk of it being seen by the person who told me, or at risk of it being at all untrue.

Posting things like "player X is re-signing soon" or "player Y is likely to be traded to us" is pretty harmless stuff so makes sense to see it shared. Some of the stuff I've been seeing especially relating to Gordon is just... unbelievable

100%.

I don't know club stuff but I do KNOW draft staff and I would basically NEVER say a word...

Thought there was one time in 2021 when I prob said something I shouldn't of that 'came true'...

If you are enough in the know to 'KNOW', then you KNOW you shouldn't post it.

Same, I am told stuff but told to not say anything and I stick to that. I posted earlier the Peter is discrete and would not be carrying on at a function about the club. I know for a fact that since stepping down, he has not been involved at the club and prefers KWW to handle things.
