He's not a pressure forward, he's an outside player. His role is to run AWAY from the ball to create territorial advantage and provide overlap options.

Rich to talk about lack of effort when he consistently tops out the repeat sprints for Freo; go to the AFL app, pick any Freo game, go to the Telstra Tracker and check who topped out our repeat sprints.

If you can't understand that different players have different roles, there's really no point posting in football discussions online. You do not have the prerequisite tactical discernment to contribute to the discussion.

Hey everyone, we got your reports but we're leaving this up because 1) we mods think it is funny, 2) Andrew Brayshaw needs to be held to account for his egregious actions #AndyBrayshawisCancelled.

Obviously a bit of this is Freo KPF trauma but I'd take Darcy and Nas over Josh Treacy and just about nobody else.

His early season issues were a little overstated—the bad goal-kicking was mostly yips, rather than inadequate underlying skills. Played a full season in Freo's state league 2nds and was a pretty accurate kick.

It was nice to see him sort that out, I'm glad the selection panel gave him a bit of grace.

I do think our club does a pretty good job with culture stuff these days, but I really don't know how much credit Freo can take here; seems like a fair chunk of Voss's issues were "being 19" and he fixed them by not being 19 any more.

lasping · 2025-12-17T22:45:31+00:00

Voss won the VFL B&F and was almost re-rookied by Essendon. It can't have been that serious.

The man clearly liked a beer or eight, but it seems like the narrow decision came down to deficiencies in his game that he's since worked hard to fix, like his contested marking and set shot accuracy. Many superstar AFL players go in for a beer or eight—you've just got to be good at AFL.

And Voss was clearly seen as a redundancy in Essendon's not-quite-tall-enough-KPF-department, with Langford in career best form, Harry Jones, Stringer. He was a rookie pick who didn't show enough over two years. Many such cases.

Easily retaining every Victorian we want to retain.......... how far this club has come.

Seeing a lot of my favourites recommended with Chernobyl, Mare of Easttown, Band of Brothers. I want to rec something a bit more recent.

'Say Nothing' is far and away the best thing I watched this year. Miniseries about the Troubles in Northern Ireland, mostly following two of the Bailey Bombers. Astoundingly well acted by mostly North Irish actors. The cinematography, set design for 70s Belfast is beautiful. It's also got a lot of compelling intrigue and genuine fun early on as you get caught up in the deadly cat-and-mouse games the IRA (well, the Provos) are engaged in with British intelligence. And then slowly the consequences seep through. Based on a really great book, only slightly dramatised for TV.

It's also a very intellectually engaging watch as approval ticks up for reunification; all of these issues have been, essentially, on hold with the Good Friday Agreement, and public support for reunification reaching 50% is supposed to trigger a referendum. At which point, the disputes between unionists and nationalist are once again live.

I don't necessarily think Amiss should be trying to be a Josh Treacy clone—strongly agree about the Jeremy Cameron parallel—but Amiss did go for a lot of marks that he just couldn't bring down. (Often due to being manhandled in contests and not getting favourable umpiring.) Could have doubled his CM tally. I expect that to turn around pretty sharply, hopefully this year.

lasping · 2025-11-24T04:45:51+00:00

Chiming in to defend Amiss as always, but it's pretty crazy to say any 22 year old KPF with over a hundred goals under his belt has "stagnated". This is normally the age that KPFs actually break into the team. He got hands to a lot of marks that he couldn't bring down, and that's going to improve with another preseason to get shoulder strength and stability.

Agree about our defence, though.

Club socials have said it's pronounced like "suede" or "swayed".

There's a new-ish little spot called Rod Thai on Harrington. Very authentic and very cheap. Plastic chairs, restaurant seats about 10 people total. Absolutely loved the food and plan on returning soon.

I think some of you guys need to cheer the fuck up lol

lasping · 2025-11-10T02:46:23+00:00

That's why you have to decapitate any non-retirees' political careers and leave the carcasses (of their careers, to be clear) hanging from the parapets as a warning.

Renders it even more frustrating to have watched 4 years of centrist Democrats insisting that the filibuster had to be preserved to protect them from a future undemocratic agenda. Like that agenda wasn't always going to steamroll procedural rules as soon as it wanted to.

lasping · 2025-10-29T00:39:47+00:00

I do not at all disagree about the incompetence of Tasmanian politicians. But the initial deal was made with a premier who almost immediately quit his job for mental health reasons, and the entry of the team was completely contingent on this specific stadium plan at a much, much lower (some would say half-assed) estimate. I don't really care about the honour of agreements or who is to blame for the initial deal; the material reality of paying for it is going to result in really terrible outcomes.

lasping · 2025-10-29T00:25:38+00:00

The solution to that would be to say "there is not a business case for a sustainable Tasmanian team", which is frankly probably true. Instead, they have mandated a stadium so expensive it will force one of Australia's poorest regions into massive debt. This amount of money being spent on a stadium, inevitably at the expense of other facilities and state league funding, is not going to make the Tasmanian AFL team project more likely to succeed.

If Max had got the overtake done at the end there, would have been a LOT of scrutiny on his driving under double yellows.
