Hey @SoundingBoardEp , if you think screening standardisation is bad you should try flying as a wheelchair user. Would appreciate if you added it to your screening stuff! No standardisation or accountability across Australia and often taking your life into your own hands!

[Ben Aldridge @30footdrop]

@purplereign95 In hindsight what is worse, the Kelly or Hogan trade? Both cost large draft capital, gave opponents key pieces towards premiership (May & Cameron), and have dragged out the clubs rebuild cycle. At least wet toast didn't do it mid rebuild and have a player out of it still.

@purplereign95 The Dockers have a fascination with recruiting and giving regular games to players who have regular brain farts. Do you think that one of the dockers KPIs to win is not playing more than two at once?
Regular Brain Farters = Banners, Willow, Hughes, Tabs

[Ben Aldridge @30footdrop]

@purplereign95 Do we need to add the following KPI for winning?
No more than 2 of the BFF's*
*BFF or Brain Fart Four is the name I give to the following group of players for reasons that are self-evident:
- Banners
- Willow
- Hughes
- Tabs

@purplereign95 Time to cut through the pessimism running rampant through the supporter base, what would be your dream GF result? Mine is Freo vs Cats, Freo win by a Mundy kick after the siren, Brayshaw Norm Smith, Freddy first goal, Steak knives most disposals, Pav present the cup

[Ben Aldridge @30footdrop]

@InclusionMoves It is emphasising the balance between the two, if we are seen as only one or the other then it will never work. That's why I use the word towards instead ir replace

[Ben Aldridge @30footdrop]

@purplereign95 Which is more dedicated: Pigs looking for truffles, Will Brodie looking for contested ball or Oz looking for Hot Jam Donuts?

[Ben Aldridge @30footdrop]

@purplereign95 Which of the following is the most likely to explain the lethargy shown on Saturday?
1. Heavy training load
2. Emotional drain due to Dokka cuteness overload
3. Not used to playing at night or Saturdays
4. Weight of growing fan expectations

[Ben Aldridge @30footdrop]

@SportsChatterWA @purplereign95 thoughts?

[Ben Aldridge @30footdrop]

@purplereign95 Looking at our current playing list and culture what do you think are the internal factors that decide if Freo has a serious go at recruiting Luke Jackson?

If these factors get ticked off then what trade/contract would you be happy with?

@purplereign95 What was a better roller coaster ride:
Kingda Ka
Formula Rossa
The score worm from the weekends match?

@purplereign95 @TheRestumpPod a thread that might be of interest

[Ben Aldridge @30footdrop]

@LysticsAFL need your thoughts. As a dockers fan I feel that we get shafted when it comes to commentators and their unconscious bias. I have been thinking how this can be quantified and I think I have found a way.
When a 50/50 umpire call is made what are the immediate comments?

[Ben Aldridge @30footdrop]

@LysticsAFL Reading back through I sound like a bad Iooser. The lack of professionalism shown by these people is aggravating when there are people begging for the opportunity that the reigning get by virtue of 'experience'

[Ben Aldridge @30footdrop]

@LysticsAFL Who is the audience and what are their values?
When a speaker cannot do these basics then it is a sign they don't care or are to narcissistic to be reliable.
