2nds Peel Thunder 2025

[Mainy66]

Walker, Simpson and Sharp all back into the seniors please - edit: hold that thought.

 

[stax on the mull]

Backs in very attacking positions there right up on the 50m arc for that Simpson handball for the Walker goal. Both players easy to spot with their shoulders taped up. Good work from Bryce initially.

 

[mattis117]

Good to see Peel playing well.

Walker and Simpson back into the seniors.

 

[Mainy66]

Disgraceful umpiring - it’s the Freo way I guess.

 

[dominguez]

Why isn't Brodie playing?

 

[rgauci]

not one Freo player putting their hand up

 

[stax on the mull]

Skill level is Players > Umpires > Commentators.

 

[Ripper]

What happened to Dud's 3rd goal ?

 

[rgauci]

Brandon Walker is timid in the contest, he makes Frederick look like an inside player.

The amount of times he shorts steps going back with the flight is very noticeable. Don’t like him turtle necking every high ball either.

 

[rgauci]

What happened to Dud's 3rd goal ?

Ran too far

 

[stax on the mull]

Walker is going ok but it is noticeable that he gets into a marking position but doesn't clunk them overhead. It's more like he puts his hands up to make the ball soft drop and then clean up a 2nd time.

 

[mattis117]

Ollie Murphy finally starting to show a bit.

Good goal Delean

? Injured?

 

[PowerToThePurpl]

OMac has been very good

 

[CaseySibosadoHOF]

No Will Brodie? Injured?

Presumably. Not mentioned mid-week. A few senior players typically in the twos not playing this game - Narkle, Brodie, Aish.

Brodie and Aish were both named in the side on Thursday night.

 

[CaseySibosadoHOF]

Brodie and Aish were both named in the side on Thursday night.

Yeah, once the AFL emergencies came in yesterday Brodie was out and Murphy was gonna play WAFL Reserves. So Brodie a late-ish change, and then Aish a very late change.

Hi Peel watchers,
I see Sharp is our leading possession getter.
Is he a shoe-in to replace NOD next week?
cheers,
DocT

oobie doobie, suck shit Subi

 

[rgauci]

OMac above this level, the dominant key defender on the ground.

Olly Murphy showing promise.

Hugh Davies cursed by the Fremantle defender affliction, stops for 5-10 seconds after each mark. In saying that he was marking everything.

Josh Draper played forward and was 2nd best key forward for Peel. Cameo-ed in the ruck and was surprisingly good.

Jack Delean used his pace and skills, but looks undersized, has got tricks.

Best game Sharp has played for Peel, used his endurance and long kick to gain a lot of distance for Freo.

Dudley very good but needs a preseason.

Cooper Simpson didn’t do much aside from kickouts.

Walker pretty dismal display for someone of his quality. He’s been on an AFL list quite a long time and didn’t look amazing. Low possession count for a small / medium defender. Was cramping in the 4th quarter, quite disappointing as he’s had nothing wrong with his legs, got his shoulder repaired, points to a lack of dedication to staying fit.

Charlie Nicholls looks very fast for his height. Needs a preseason though. Promising first year at the club.

 

[Retzlaff]

Delean for O’Driscoll next week?

[mattis117]

Don't see how any of that is a set back...

Good review, thanks!
Some encouraging performances, more for next year than next week.

Maybe controversial, but does anyone think Dudley might still have a chance to play for Freo again? Looks so dangerous around goals.
And yes, Simpson had a quiet game, but not a big day for defenders. Does make me wonder why they have to play in the same position for Peel that they play for Freo? Give him a role around the ball so he can get some touch and disposals.
