Bloody hard telling Jye and Sturt apart
Right? Gotta look below the waist. Sturt has chicken legs. Amiss has tree trunks.

Bloody hard telling Jye and Sturt apart
The Walters replacement.Western is so close to being a very handy player. Hope he can have a big preseason and a breakout season next year. Has all the attributes.
Nah, can't kick half the time, its the same thing with Erasmus and Crowden
Blakely looks great until the actual kicking of the ball
I only saw the last quarter, but felt like he was heavily involved and used the ball better than anyone, particularly forward of centre. Starting to see those skills shining through in games.Henry - Was overall quiet, seemed like he spent large periods on the bench. A few missed kicks but also a large number of quality disposals.
Player thoughts at full time:
Worner - best game so far, really excellent marking and consistent disposal
Erasmus - was going really well that got targeted by South Freo thugs and seemed rattled; still had a good game.
Blakely - another good game on his end, ran tirelessly and kicking was pretty good
Hughes - Ran pretty well throughout the game on a wing
Johnson - not the same heights as last week and a lot of clanger kicks but laid a lit of tackles and kicked the sealer. Played about 50% forward and 50% midfield again.
Sturt - battled and ran hard but got missed two sodas early and seemed a bit rattled.
Crowden - not his best game but battled hard
Henry - Was overall quiet, seemed like he spent large periods on the bench. A few missed kicks but also a large number of quality disposals.
Amiss - kicked two goals including a super one outside 50 and probably one score involvement on limited game time.
Western - ran hard and some really good inside 50s with some poor ones.
Meek - was okay with 40 hitouts and he tackled hard but overall not his best game
Colyer - 2 goals and lots of run but also lots of clangers as well.
I was impressed with the debut of Jed Adams. Big boy with some good skills. Amiss - a good return given the layoff and conditions. Ty Anderson has a lot of speed- looks capable as a mature ager.
Can't agree on Raz, I loved the way both he and Johnno reacted and responded to the attention from the dogs.
I've also seen better games from Worner even though he was good, and Meek was excellent after half time - used his fitness to beat Free after lowering his clouds early on. Mostly agree on the others except I didn't see any positives in Westerns game - seems to be more a fine weather player.
Still illness for Treacy apparently
Could it be glandular?Itās clearly lies, he was at the game today, and near our players. Wonder whatās going on?
He supposedly had a stomach bug. He's not going to give that to them standing next to them.Itās clearly lies, he was at the game today, and near our players. Wonder whatās going on?
If he gets a contractWestern is so close to being a very handy player. Hope he can have a big preseason and a breakout season next year. Has all the attributes.
A lot of "stomach bugs" this year have been COVID or influenza (have seen people who have only had gastro, no cough or fever, and have tested positive to influenza).He supposedly had a stomach bug. He's not going to give that to them standing next to them.
Usually we get over viral stomach infections very quickly if it's novovirus but some of the less common ones you can be crook a lot longer.
Tin foils hats can be stood down I think.
Raz was good in close just needs to give it off more as still tries to take them on too much, I am sure this is attributed to his dominance at schoolboy football. He may be a tad slow but makes up for it with thinking on his feet and will improve parts of his games that need it as he matures.Fair enough - I'll qualify that my assessments are probably relative to previous weeks. I agree that Erasmus was good (early on I said that I think he is the unluckiest freo player out there to not be playing tonight) particularly early on, but I guess I am saying after the big hit he was probably not as dominant. Johnson stood up to the attention agree with that but overall he had a lot of kicks that went straight to the opposition under not much pressure.
I have seen Worner games where he got more of it but I guess I felt this was the first time where everything he did was pretty good.
I have always been pretty negative with respect to Western (I don't get comments by others that he is the next Walters) but he did have some good disposals early on so I want to recognize that.
Meek again was good; just not as good as he has been.
I can agree with Descent also that Henry's skills shined at times, but (the flip to Western) I am pretty positive about him most of the time and I noticed today that he spent a lot of time off the ground (not sure if that was as a precaution for things happening with players) and was not as involved as his last few WAFL games. He was impactful much of the time he was on.
Great summary and comments. You are spot on about Raz he monstered PSA football. He isnāt super quick but smashes endurance running. Apparently did well in the middle distance running at school.Raz was good in close just needs to give it off more as still tries to take them on too much, I am sure this is attributed to his dominance at schoolboy football.

Meek week in and week our preforms if jackson comes only fair he looks elewhere many clubs would play him. Some excellent riuck worjk that our onballers benefitted from.
Henry lacked a little polish yesterday but did a few eye catching things that others cannot do, This is his beauty, floats in and out but more than solid.
Worner was super clean again and opened up the play a few times with piercing kicks and handballs to open players, doesn't panic - He played mostly back from what I saw yesterday no where near a wing.
Amiss was very quiet and a long way off it but you would expect this after the length of time he has been sidelined - Two very handy goals with limited possessions makes me look forward to 2023
