Wouldn't mind seeing something like this before the year is out.
Walters - Cox - Bennell
Ballas - Tabs - McCarthy
maybe pick 5 is not good enough. We want pick 4?surely he has to play this week
So that's 15 goals from the rest if the season, which confirms the argument that he plays the occasional good game and spuds it up the rest.39 goals so far, sure most of those are WAFL, but can only kick in the competition you are in.
5.0 vs E Freo
4.2 vs Subiaco
4.1 against Essendon
6.0 last week against West Perth
5.0 this last game against East Perth.
if only we had someone in the forward line who knew where the goals were...

So what improvement is Lyon looking for in Tabs? Clearly his goal finishing has been good over the last two weeks, but the hint is that is not good enough.
Is he running enough? Providing a contest over the four quarters? Not dropping his head when things aren't going right? Playing to team rules? I'm fairly confident that Tabs knows what he has to do to get a good shot at establishing himself (all the talk is that players gets robust honest feedback)
This is where football is a little like gambling....Pleased that Taberner backed it up on the weekend.
Do it again I say
Maybe he should have shown some passion when playing.Nice little report in the West today about him still being passionate about being good enough to play AFL, loving the club and wanting to stay. The correct thing he said is that if his form stays good and consistent the rest will look after itself.
No. He's just s**t.This is where football is a little like gambling....
Tabs plays WAFL and for whatever reason,doesnt play well....people will be like "Well its good we didnt pick him for the seniors...to inconsistent".
Tabs plays WAFL and has a blinder....people melt because he didnt play seniors.
Tabs plays Seniors, has a stinker....people "Useless spud...good WAFL player, spud at AFL level".
Tabs plays seniors has a great game...some people "See!!" or others "Do it again to prove its not a fluke".
Damned if he does. Damned if he doesnt
Lol. I find your bluntness hilarious sometimes
As Vic mitchie.
Or Sam Menegola, or Michael Barlow, or even James Podsiadly who didn't get a game of AFL until he was 28 after being selected in the VFL team of the year 4 times! Contested marking is at a premium these days, especially at Fremantle with Pav gone and Sandi missing. Fremantle has 3 players in the top 50 for avge CMs, Sandi who's gone for the season, Fyfe who's ranked 28th and, Taberner ranked 9th! West Coast have 5 players in the top 50, including the top two in Kennedy and McGovern. Taberner is also inside our top 10 in the Coaches Votes. Unusual for someone who has showed this much potential but is clearly inconsistent, to play 5 games out of a possible 16 when he has been fit and available for the whole season. He's also relatively young for a KPF (same age as Kersten). The argument for playing guys who are inconsistent because it enables them to develop (Tucker, Hughes, Logue, Ryan etc and Kersten himself) doesn't seem to apply to Tabs. I rate the guy because he has the tools both physically and athletically. Hope he gets a few games between now and the end of the season........As Vic mitchie.
That is the reason he need to go , if you rated tab isn't it better for him to have a career elsewhere rather than with peel. Kersten is damn lazy compare to Tab .Or Sam Menegola, or Michael Barlow, or even James Podsiadly who didn't get a game of AFL until he was 28 after being selected in the VFL team of the year 4 times!

That's part of the problem when you recruit for nice guys. The only guy with real mongrel on our list is Dawson.He needs mongrel - flatten a few people and crunch some packs. Opposition defenders need to be anxious about where he is around them
What do you base this on?Kersten is damn lazy compare to Tab .
After Round 5 . Kersten is smart( taking short cut ) , Tab not so as a footballer . If Mitch available, I will quickly dispose Kersten as a third tall.What do you base this on?
