Don't get confused with potential and facts.
Allen kicked 53 goals in 2023
Waterman kicked 53 goals 2024 also all australian.
also both did so in a team with very few wins a low amount of inside fifties and a very poor midfield.
Amiss and Treacy still to kick 50 goals in a season
You're giving me sarcasm? My goodness...

Waterman is turning 27, Treacy is turning 23. The potential is higher for much longer.

Allen is actually a gun, I fully acknowledge that, but he's also quite injury prone. Amiss at a much younger age is less injury prone and already established as one of the best young forwards in the comp.

Some past greats like Brown and Lyon have continuously said freo have some of the best young key forwards in the comp, yet somehow some (not all) eagles fans are convinced they wouldn't get a game in a team that finished bottom 4?

Lets use commonense, quit the salty bias and be adults now, because you're looking like an absolute fool
 
You played Allen, Waterman and Maric together plenty of times last season and Treacy is way better than Maric....
Maric is playing in defence as a third tall and distributor. Something we identified over summer was a total lack of f50 pressure, there’s no room for Maric or Tracey as a forward.

Jumping off the ground and knocking players out with a big hit isn't tough.

Others call that sniping.

Uncle / father.....whatever.......he's trying too hard to be a so called 'tough' player and gets rubbed out regularly for doing it.

You disagree?

You think the repeat offending bumping opponents high and late is all fine?

As I said several times. Happy for Kossie to end up at Freo. More than happy.
Saying it's his father makes it appear you are uninformed and a troll particularly making disparaging remarks in a thread about a player you have stated you have no interest in.
 
Due to injury....
2024 Treacy played 20 games and kicked 45 goals
2024 Waterman played 20 games and kicked 53 goals
Both missed three games.
I am not sure what saying we are ahead is hard to understand. It is not to diminish treacy but he isn't ahead of both Waterman and Kelly at the moment and Amiss is a lot further back at the moment.
We don't need Treacy.We have enough tall forwards/rucks to develop in Jack Williams, Archer Reid and Jobe Shanahan.
We don't need Pickett as our smalls are adequate.We do need Warner as our midfield is poor.
Unless one of our talls can be converted into a KPD we are thin.
We could also do with a better ruckman.
If Treacy and Amiss were out of contract at the end of the year they would not be looked at.
They are good emerging players but not what we really need.
 
Maric is playing in defence as a third tall and distributor. Something we identified over summer was a total lack of f50 pressure, there’s no room for Maric or Tracey as a forward.
Probably a good decision because he pretty poor as a forward, plus McGovern is ancient and Barrass is gone...

Cool. Nothing to do with what I said though. Neither is the bottom part. If Treacy was on your list, he'd play every single week without question. Not just for Eagles, for any club.

You are talking potential and i am stating facts.
We don't need either Treacy or Amiss at the moment. If Charlie Curnow was a free agent than that is another story

He would be a need for your club for sure but not a need for the Eagles at the moment.
We have other priorities to build our list.
If a contract for Brayshaw doesn't work out maybe a good fit for the Eagles.
 
Probably a good decision because he pretty poor as a forward, plus McGovern is ancient and Barrass is gone...
Don’t think he was poor but was he was never going to be the target with the other two around. Not sure the view is to play KPD, more of a distributor but anyone showing ability as a tall defender is very welcome at our club at the moment.

Could we find a way to fit him in? Sure. Do we actually need another tall forward of his quality? No. We have Allen and Waterman, two pretty elite forwards, we have Jack Williams, who came on very well last year and is a genuine second ruck option. And we drafted two of the best tall forward prospects in the past two years in Archer Reid and Jobe Shanahan. Plus they want to squeeze Bailey Williams down there as a resting ruck even though he’s not much chop as a forward. We struggle to fit our existing forwards in without being too top heavy, the last thing we need is more tall forwards.

Treacey is very good and Amiss looks better, but none of that changes the point.
 
Irrespective of whether we would target him, if Treacy was just added to the list for free, yes he would get games. We would make it work, he may have to be a fwd/ruck though.
Wouldnt be a massive improvement on Jack Williams, as the ruck work Jack does is quite good and I dont believe Treacy can match him there. Treacy is a much better contested mark and is a better forward than Jack right now, but the overall improvement for the team as a whole, considering theyre the 3rd tall wouldnt be that substantial imo.

Definitely wouldnt be the #1 or 2 KPF in the forward line, barring injuries.

Now that Bell's gone we might see Freo stay in their lane, instead of driving the price up of players wanting to return home.
Bit rich when Freo have been courting Warner for years and you guys have jumped in...

Jackson was always coming to Freo, didn't stop West Coast from jumping in

Courting? Putting his stay as the Casino on Freo's tab and making advances towards his manager doesn't mean he's in any way interested, unlike Kelly, for instance, who said absolutely not to Freo yet they still tried to worm their way in.

Same with Baker.

Asked the question, he declined and everyone moved on.

Why do people still try to perpetuate this myth? Show me where Freo were second to West Coast in trying to lure Baker back.

Since his last contract, when he tossed up requesting a trade to WCE, or staying at Richmond. Decided late to stay.

He's been on the hook for a few years now. Lifelong WCE fan, there was no chance he'd go to Freo, especially once McQualter was confirmed, yet Freo were still putting in offers to Richmond in trade week.

Embarrassing behaviour.

Everyone knew he was going to West Coast because of his love for the club (if they showed interest), I'm not disputing that at all. It's an absolute myth that we weren't in the running early 2024.

So by your reckoning because Warner nearly came to Freo (as per Cal Twomeny) before he signed his last contract at Sydney, West Coast shouldn't try get him because he was nearly Freo bound????

He'd never have requested a trade to Freo though. Was WCE or stay at Richmond.

Haven't seen the Twomey comments, so I can't say.

Reports from people close to the club say that if Sydney won the GF last year, he'd have requested a trade to WCE, so it appears the worm has turned for him.

Having Pyke and Jack at WCE would've changed his outlook, I imagine.

But really, my point is that when a good WA player has requested a trade to WCE, Freo keep sticking their noses in.

As far as I'm aware, when a player requests a trade to Freo, WCE may ask the question but don't keep trying to speak with the club the player is leaving and putting in trade offers, like Freo seem to keep doing when WA players request a trade to WCE.

Free game up until a player actually nominates a club though.

You do realise he nearly came here in 2021?

You can pretend he prefers you all you like, the reality is that he wants Freo but we might not have the room to accomodate him

You guys with Shai?



Seriously, it's ridiculous for you to call out Freo on practices that your own club does
