Where is Taberner? Peel are losing the last quarter...
No Taberner no Peel. He's like Dangerfield at Geelong.

Yep, Kersten would want to have a good game tomorrow that's for sure.Match committee will be interesting next week with Tabs kicking 11 in two WAFL games, McCarthy coming back from suspension and let's assume Kersten kicks two or threee tomorrow.
Yes. So much thisWhy cant we play all three? Seemed to work well against Essendon
No eye deer, Mate.Huh? Well not having a tank and defensive skills actually creates turnovers??
Because he's terrible with the ball and is prtty much a plonker.20 and a goal for Sutcliffe at half time. Why doesn't Ross try him in the midfield for the a club this year. It's a development year anyway.
Which two incumbents do you drop?Yes. So much this
McCarthy at CHF, Tabs at FF and Kersten on a flank!
If u could bottle confidence u would get steven dank to inject him before every game and then he would tear the game apart. Either that or a tiger blood transfusion every preseason and he would absolutely kill it.Everyone is well aware that Taberner has the body and skill to do well at AFL level. His issue has never been about that, it's always been about what's going on between his ears. Just seems to struggle with concentration and desire to compete hard.
Every one of the players you named is a good-excellent user if the ball. Sutcliffe is a burden with the ball in hand. Getting a few touches and the odd goal at WAFL level doesn't change the fact that he is an absolute liability at AFL level.He might do better than Suban. Maybe Tucker, although I wouldn't be messing with Tucker's development. We found room for Walters in the middle and look how that worked out. We moved Mundy into the forward line early in the year with great results. Experimentation can be great sometimes.
Id disagree that it is more mental than physical as I actually think it is the opposite. Taberner doesn't have explosiveness on the lead. That is actually the major reason he doesn't get away from his man and take easy marks. His contested marks are inflated (as a percentage of overall marks compared to most players) because he struggles to get separation from his man so he is nearly alway in contested situations. At WAFL level he can outwork his man like Nick Riewolt does at AFL level, but AFL key defenders have greater aerobic capacity so he can't do the same at AFL level. He also lacks an explosive leap to break open packs.Everyone is well aware that Taberner has the body and skill to do well at AFL level. His issue has never been about that, it's always been about what's going on between his ears. Just seems to struggle with concentration and desire to compete hard.

Let's not make him a chronic choker.
Mmm....yeah I hadnt given that too much thoughtWhich two incumbents do you drop?
Tabs seemed to get annoyed in a ruck contest half way through the second and got fired up.
Started throwing himself around a bit and got the results.
Has always been a solid kick.
Bennell's a Roller all right,just warming to the task.
Was getting plenty of massage work done to those calves when he came to the bench.
Or Charlie Sheen.
He wasn't even blowing hard when he came to the bench.How did bennell look after the game? Looking ok
