A ten second glance on your forum uncovers just who Freo supporters' whipping boy is. That was actually quite funny, I must say...

Honestly, I didn't think Suban was that bad. But then, I haven't really seen you guys play much since 2015. He must have dropped off markedly.

Barlow was one I was surprised to see let go. His best is probably behind him, but he seemed to be playing reasonable footy in the brief glimpses I got throughout 2016.

How's old mate Kersten going? He seems to be listed in everyone's round one side; does this say more about him or the quality of your currrent forwards?

I'll stick with the squad I posted last week but I wouldn't be averse to Balic coming in to play the Ballas role with some pinch-hitting in the middle. From what I watched of the Peel game he was pretty good and finished with 30 touches.

I'll have a crack at a best 22 for Geelong, hoping for an upgrade - fingers crossed!

No Tabs.....cannot take it seriously

I just wish that old West Perth player from the 70's, Bill Valli, was playing for us. That way we could have a centre line of -

Hill Valli Hill
Or if Dale Kickett was still around it'd be:

Isn't "22 Shades of Grey" a famous book or something?

As long as suban and Sheridan stay out I'm happy. Would rather balic,logue or another young and up and comer get a gig before them

Bit harsh on Sheridan, he's still a developing player himself.
I think it's more about the fact that Tom has had 5 years on our list and really hasn't come along as quickly or as well as most of us would have liked. For me he has flat lined the last two seasons and I'd genuinely like to see what some of the other young guys on the list can do given the number of chances that Sheridan has had.
