So I am guessing given the squad that they are thinking Roberts and Kelly as the centre square players. I wonder if they play Urqhart and Champion more as midfielders as well?

Don't laugh but this is where I was at pre squad announcement (I only had the 4 on the interchange but had Kelly and Hart to potentially be aroundabouts as well): FB: Cathcart Dennis Boxshall HB: Artemis Allan Van De Struyf C: Hayes Martinson Angove HF: Urqhart Gerreyn Champion FF: Walsh Davis...

Agree he gets some pretty overpowering defenders.... I am a fan of Erasmus but I don't know that with four already settled inside centre mids that he is good value for the side in other positions atm. Less of a fan of O'Meara but same deal. Just think we should be able to put aside one of...

~199cm.

He is still playing decent % game time - 87%, 80%, 84%, 85%, 82%, 82% - I just wonder if we try and tag team him with a Cooper Simpson or Jack Delean (who I see more as his successor but is probably not ready yet) and reduce those %s but try and get more out of the time he is on the field...

Kayle Gerreyn Vimal Anand IMO this is THE player for us to pick between 9 - 16. Not a "positional need" but just a really unique athletic player who can play a number of positions, is racking up decent possession numbers for a tall (21, 18 and 21 in the last three games), kicking goals and...

Walters was a midfielder as junior player. I actually think he (Champion) is a very short kick and will be shorter when he is in the AFL and has to run all day. I have also seen him be very inaccurate in games as well; I think he is more an up the ground run and chip player than a small...

Well done Jaspar - saying that Champion could end up like Liam Henry is sure to sell him to Freo fans (I don't think he will go in the Top 25 anyway so it is a moot point). I think this list undersells some of the talls in the draft; Guys like Faull, Gerryen I think deserve to be in the...

And what if there aren't quality players of type 2 and 3 available in this draft in the first round? O'Sullivan and Moraes are the only ones that kind of fit criteria 2 (and even then I would say they are only above average speed and skills - I think Cooper Simpson would beat both for pace) and...

Been busy this week so only the first time I have had a look at this, but I did do up what I thought the team would look like and am also pretty shocked about no Contellessa or Harvey; they were what I was expecting was going to be the centre square team and provide the more experienced bodies...

He is at least a 150 game player IMO.

And Worner, Wagner and Stanley were also up there as well.

Heath Chapman 20 disposals at half time and nearly all of them good says it is time to bring him back. Stanley, Wagner and Worner have also been good through traffic. The Will Brodie tackle was a thing of beauty and he is dominating out of the middle. Delean, Simpson and Voss have had their...

Umm what? Kuek in 2022 combined East Perth and Peel = 20 goals in 10 games = 2 goals per game Kuek in 2023 Peel - 25 goals in 13 games is almost 2 goals per game BUT he also almost doubled the number of marks (31 went up to 60 in 2023) and also tackles (14 went up to 30). Hitouts also doubled...

Jones is bigger, more athletic and more flexible in terms of position and that is what got him the gig . Scaife is a good footballer but lacks the requisite AFL level athleticism and can only really play one position (he did do some rucking but not enough there for AFL level); he had a better...

Basil Hart is a NGA "small" (185cm) forward who is considered a potential Top 50 pick in 2025 whilst Toby Whan is also supposed to be good midfielder/utility.

He was a tall half forward and ruck at junior level, whilst I would have said "key position", he mainly used his athleticism rather than brute strength. Good mark of the ball and good user, his main issue as a forward was not getting enough of the ball. I think him playing in defence helps bring...

I remember Beau Muston famously being called the next Chris Judd by the famous draft watcher Colin Wisbey in 2005..... But in the end, Judd himself was described as the 6-foot-tall Peter Matera.... And Peter Matera was the reincarnation of Robbie Flower.....

For mine the best small forwards in this draft say (Kako or Champion if you want run to run WA for some reason) are on track to be LESS developed than Delean was at the end of the year. Even if we thought they were worth a first round and drafted them, there is little chance they are going to...

If he hands it on a platter to our midfielders from the centre bounce is that a problem though? I have felt most worried about our team when someone gets on top of Jackson (or Treacy or any other player) in the ruck, and having a high impact ruck at stoppages (with Jackson to do the time with...

Was still out there but just couldn't get into the game. Many of the forward kicks were directed at Tregenza and Sears and their contribution was significant.

I thought Knobel's rucking outside of the first quarter was streets ahead of Reidy (and Reidy wasn't bad) of Knobel's 43 hitouts, I reckon many of the last 18 odd went straight to a Peel player, and he was tapping them in all directions at will. The big thing for Knobel is what he does around...

I think he meant / was interpreting he meant a full game debut? - he has always played as the sub only.

The last third of his first Peel season was good, as was his time at Perth Seniors in 2020 pre getting drafted (Remember one game where he got something like 18 possessions and tackled like a maniac). The first two thirds of his first year at Peel, end of last year and this year have been pretty...

True although I can see him getting a debut as a HFF first; he may be fit enough for that role.

To half time: Chapman - not as dynamic as last week but still looks ready to go back up to AFL level. Disposal is some of the best on the field. Stanley has stood out on a wing, kicking has been a bit erratic but the work-rate has been really good. Mitch Crowden and Hamish Brayshaw have really...

Liam Reidy as well.

Always been a really talented player but probably doesn't have the AFL required work ethic - classic Subiaco recruit. Injured I believe.

Former Freo NGA Richard Bartlett scores 2 against Peel; reminds a bit of Willie Rioli.
