I would like to have a look at him at the next if he is ok concussion wise. If he gets a game now it will be in his natural position i.e. as a half-forward so that should make it easier.

I'm struggling to understand any discussion around Sturt playing anywhere except half forward/high half forward?
I see him as the creative, talented missing link in our forward line...someone who can get separation from their opponent, has good hands and can deliver with skill in to the F50 when required. He's everything I'd hoped McCarthy would be and maybe more.
Why he needs to spend time on the wing, midfield and in the back line is mystifying.

He has said that he sees his future in the midfield
Freo’s draft bolter has speed to burn
Top Fremantle pick Sam Sturt can claim to have done something few after under-aged players managed - burn off Isaac Quaynor.

Most players want to be midfielders but not all get there. I agree with the Ginge that until he's ready or proves that he's a legitimate midfield option, he'd be great as a mobile third tall forward or mid-sized forward which is just what we need.
Need to take the concussion issue seriously, and I am fine with holding him back for another pre-season. But I want to see an early debut for both Sturt and Henry. Very few small/medium forwards are pure forwards, so I have no issue with him training for the midfield anyway. Some of the comments about him are Fyfe-esque, and we need several more of him right now.
Exciting for the lad, hope he goes well
If the New NGA comes, he can be a docker after pick 40 if we match a bid.
Dixon with an early goal. Looks to be playing forward. Jones in the ruck.
What happened to Dillon O’Reilly?
Not in team or reserved or on injury list?

Young Thorne has his first too
Dillon really struggled last week. Must have played out the game with a bit of a niggle and then managed this week.
Nill all 3rd quarter, must have been played between the arcs, swans goaled twice at start of the last, 4 points in it.

How was Banners? His stats look impressive.
******* lol at Carter not playing AFL or WAFL.
Probably did enough to play a decoy small forward role for Fremantle then get dropped.
Freo emergency
Yeah hence my ******* lol

Freo players named for Peel this weekend:
- Tom North
- Tobe Watson
- Hugh Dixon
- Sam Sturt
That is all. Might get 2 or 3 of the Freo non-travelling emergencies I guess.

Makes it f...ing hard on the AFL coach when our depth is so poor
So tomorrow we have the grand total of 3 listed players as our total backup
West Coast by comparison have at least 12 players named in the seconds tomorrow
The sooner we move over to having our own stand alone WAFL team the better.

Won’t happen, without significant compensation to Peel. West Coast get a free pass in life; so no point. Much rather the AFL just hurry up and have an AFL reserves comp

What makes you think we even want Peel to win this week? Have you crunched the numbers? Tanking anyone?
AFL reserves comp will be the death knell of the WAFL. It's a strong competition and could be a very good gateway for our AFL team if our recruiters took more notice or prioritised taking payers who may have had one of two years apprenticeship for a WAFL team.
All that being said Freo can do much more to support the Peel team than providing a coach. Are our development coaches going to Peel training's? If not we need to get Peel seniors WAFL players to Cockburn once a week for their normal night training with all our coaches. Make all our facilities including GPS on game day, recovery, weights (as long as Webber stays away) video analysis and development coaches available for Peel.
While our players may have restrictions on an extra training session with the peel players there should be no reason why our coaches can't be there at least once a week drilling our plays, skills and systems and our fantastic facilities can't be made available.
