Harry is fine we polished a few Coronas post Freo win.
You are spot on. The Sunday Slime is diabolical for accuracy.
I really think Appness has a great leap and ditto on Silvagni.

The west had Apeness with 7 contested marks
Holy sh!t. Still a bit of work to do on his tank, and his chasing but at least we know his strengths are translating nicely.

Pretty amazing how some, (not you), feel that a kid should jump from U/18's to WAFL seniors without a problem.
Was last year Salim.

Yeah, so true. SCOS has repeatedly shown some of the best attitude you could want from a player. Question his abilities, his occasional brain fades giving away frees or wahtever, but the guy has such a good attitude and work rate. He's been dropped more than once for not doing too much wrong, and over looked when it looked like a good choice to pick him - but he always responds by just putting in more effort. And when he gets his go, fwd or back, wherever RTB puts him, he puts in all he's got.
It's sad to see someone of Sylvia's ability show such poor attitude when you look at someone like SCOS giving it his all.
For those who can´t be bothered to look up the clubs website. WAFL watch below. Apeness with his 7 contested marks appears the pick although Sherro with 22 poss in reduced game time was a good effort:
Michael Apeness 17 disposals (6 kicks, 11 handballs) 9 marks, 2 goals
Michael played as a key forward opposed to Dylan Elliot and Clancy Wheeler. He won his position taking nine marks. He was consistently strong in the air. Seven of his marks were contested, two were uncontested. He presented hard up at the kicker and gave great effort throughout the game. It was a really positive game for Michael.
Jack Hannath 22 disposals (11 kicks, 11 handballs) 11 marks, 25 hitouts
Jack played the starting ruck role, alternating with Jon Griffin. He displayed a high work rate over the four quarters and constantly provided a marking option through the midfield, taking 11 marks. He had a strong first quarter where he was very competitive in ruck contests and worked hard to get into dominant positions and control the hitouts.
Craig Moller 8 disposals (4 kicks, 4 handballs) 2 marks
Craig played primarily as a forward with some short periods in the ruck. He had some good contests and effort while other efforts weren’t at the standard we require. He did at times show the ability to compete as a leading and contesting forward. He displayed some effective ruck work against a strong-bodied opponent, although his effort throughout the day was inconsistent.
Jon Griffin 14 disposals (7 kicks, 7 handballs) 6 marks
Jon played in the ruck and forward showing strong competitive spirit throughout the game. There were some good signs with his aerial contest. The timing of his jump in the ruck was a positive and he managed to hold his position in ruck contests and he covered the ground well in general play. We are happy with how Jon is progressing.
Anthony Morabito 23 disposals (17 kicks, 6 handballs) 2 goals
Anthony had a defensive rebound role, where he had a solid first half and defensively had some good starting points. He attacked the opposition at the right time, kicking two goals. He went into the midfield briefly, which was a positive as we want Anthony to learn how to run offensively and defensively.
Thomas Vandeleur 14 disposals (10 kicks, 4 handballs) 7 marks
Tom showed improvement from last week in regards to his starting points and physicality. He showed that he is versatile being able to play on smalls and talls and he won several 50-50 contests in the defensive 50. Tom will continue to work on his composure and his awareness when he has the ball.
Alex Silvagni22 disposals (17 kicks, 5 handballs) 7 marks, 3 tackles
Alex played as a key back opposed to Lachlan Delahunty and Matthew Boland. It was a strong performance from Alex with his defensive running patterns, spoiling and tackling. He looked to get used out of defence having 17 kicks and five handballs and he helped generate use out of the backline.
Colin Sylvia13 disposals (6 kicks, 7 handballs) 2 tackles
Colin played inside mid and briefly as a high forward. He had some impact around the ball at centre square bounces and had some strong tackles inside the contest.
Tom Sheridan 22 disposals (12 kicks, 10 handballs) 3 marks
Tom played inside mid with reduced game time as he was listed as an emergency for Sunday’s AFL game. He showed some good spread with his running as a midfielder and demonstrated he could get to some good positions at the clearance. Overall his work rate was positive and he had five clearances for the game.
Brady Grey 10 disposals (6 kicks, 4 handballs) 8 tackles
Brady continues to play consistently with great effort. He had a run-with role for three quarters and also played as a high forward. He pressured hard around the contest and was better with his bodywork in the contest later in the game. Overall he had eight tackles, demonstrating a physical brand of football.
Jacob Ballard 14 disposals (9 kicks, 5 handballs) 2 marks
Jacob played as an inside mid and high forward. He worked hard competing around the contest, having five clearances and he got to some good positions to get used.
Michael Apeness 17 disposals (6 kicks, 11 handballs) 9 marks, 2 goals
Michael played as a key forward opposed to Dylan Elliot and Clancy Wheeler. He won his position taking nine marks. He was consistently strong in the air. Seven of his marks were contested, two were uncontested. He presented hard up at the kicker and gave great effort throughout the game. It was a really positive game for Michael.

He still has some way to go, but Apeness excites me the most. I recall a highlights video that Freo put up on the website on draft day (not the one on youtube that every bigfooty expert saw and from which they concluded that we had over-reached, but the in-house video released after the draft) showing him taking a heap of contested marks. Whilst a highlight video, the main thing that I took away from it was that he really attacks the contest hard and has that bit of aggro about him that you want in a key forward. That and his size (200cm, 101kg - as an 19 yo!) make it a bit hard not to get excited about him.
Pretty interesting how brief Sylvia's write up is, 1 line and simple impartial commentary about his game. What he did well, what he could improve on etc.
To me it adds to the smoke going around about where he's at.

Couldn't agree more. But we'll need to be patient. Took Tommahawk til his 7th year before he was a genuine superstar. He was gifted about 50 games up until that point.
I like the fact that Tommy Sheridan was still able to rack up 22 touches on limited game time. Shows that he must have really been running and working hard in his time on the ground. But yes that is a massive step forward for Apeness, hopefully he can keep performing like that consistently and improving his game.

Love that my buddy Grey had this said about him:
"Overall he had eight tackles, demonstrating a physical brand of football."
I know he's a mid, but another handy back up for Walters. (Even though he is behind Crozier, Simpson, Neale etc.)

Not saying you're wrong, but in the highlights package he jumps over one of the Subi ruckman once, so he's at least capable of it.
Josh not named to play for Peel today. Do we read anything into that, given the 'missing the flight' rumours going round?
Grey is a very exciting prospect. So aware in traffic and elusive and has a real touch of class with the ball. When you add that to that the fact he doesn't mind the tough stuff there is a lot to work with!
Maybe he has the flu that is going around?
That's because he hasn't been released to play as yet. If he didn't travel he will play today.
Must suck to be the Peel coach. Never knowing who will be in your side.
You'd have a pretty good idea though. You can be reasonably sure Freo would keep him in the loop.
Bear in mind all Freo emergencies don't get named in the WAFL side, but are added later.
