Everyone to their own, but Haselby out for the season is leaving a gaping hole in the team. Although he copped flak last season, he was still ranked high in ball gets, possessions etc. Apart from that, he was looking fit as ever and ready to have a huge year, with his regular ability to stand up in the big close games and add a few goals.
On the other hand , the 2 young blokes were great last night for their first game, and geez that Ibbo is fast. The goal Palmer kicked in the last 1/4 slapped of class and confidence , Mayne chipped in with 2 [2 more than Taz, he must be hungry huh!] and has an aggressive brand of football. Although Ibbo was disgraceful in a marking contest in the 1st quarter he made up for it in the second half with a great rundown and more consistency, I can now see what the hype is about.
These 3 lads need to stay in the side regardless of ladder position and learn all the tricks from Haze in his new coaching role down at Freo oval:
i.e Hard ball gets, putting your head over the ball, big game pressure, kicking the winning goal , winning the Ross Glendinning medal etc........
A midfield with these lads [Mayne a forward flanker or possible centre runner] with a season under their belt and a fit and firing Haze next year is something worth waiting for.
Oh, I almost forgot: I DON'T WANT TO SEE TARRANT OR MATTHEW CARR IN THE SIDE UNTIL THEY GO BACK TO WAFL AND DON"T COME BACK UNTIL THEY APPRECIATE WHAT THEY HAVE PLAYING AT AFL LEVEL! THE NEW LADS MADE THEM LOOK STOOPID!!!!!!!!!
