Disappointed that one of our best 23-28 players isn’t injured. WTF?

I am still gob smacked everytime I see people bagging out Darcy. And there are plenty out there that BFI about his role.
Yes Gawn played well and the best ruck man on the ground, but he knew that he was going to have to earn his disposals when Darcy was against him.Darcy upended him at least twice with his body work.
And talking about him being over weight like he hadn't done a pre season.
Some of the critics just have NFI , they seem to think this year is still last year.
Makes me very angry.
And just to add, I don't see a spot for Omeara in the near future. I prefer to see maybe Murray or hopefully Simpson get the chance to show show their wares.
With some luck we will see Noddy get a fair run at games free of injury. I thought he was pretty good on Saturday.Worked hard and was effective..
As opposed to playing in actually the same weather, also with a 6 break but on on a WAFL ground instead?
That's the alternative to playing at AFL level.

Excerpt From
“TRAINING NOTES: Jackson in rehab group as Scerri shines”
The West Australian
“Luke Jackson, Murphy Reid, Chris Scerri, Matthew Johnson and Hayden Young news at Fremantle Dockers training

The sight of Luke Jackson in the rehab group at Fremantle training would have alarmed Dockers fans today, but some of the performances from Murphy Reid and Chris Scerri would have them jumping for joy.
No Jackson
Fremantle ruckman Luke Jackson spent the session on the outer side of the oval with the rehab group after suffering a cork to his leg during the first half against Melbourne.
The Dockers weren’t taking any risks with their star big man as he looks to recover in time to face Richmond this week. Players rarely miss matches due to corks so fans shouldn’t be concerned just yet, but Jackson is set to have a lighter week.
Quiet Voss
Pat Voss is usually the loudest player on the field during training. He’s enthusiastic, bounces around giving the session energy and constantly encourages his teammates.
But after being the centre of attention since Saturday for his taunting of Harrison Petty, Voss was a different man. He was subdued and lacked the personality that has made him a favourite for Dockers fans. He clearly wasn’t himself after what’s been a big few days.”
“Murphy Magic
It wouldn’t be a Freo training session without Murphy Reid doing something special. there was the shimmy past plauers on the boundary line, there was the creative handballs to put teammates into space and the deft little chips that made life easy for the leading forwards.
But the sight of Reid dribbling the Sherrin like it was a basketball and having total control of the footy was a reminder of just how talented he is.”
Run Scerri, run
Nobody will ever forget the night Lance Franklin charged down the MCG wing against Essendon, leading Cale Hooker in his wake to kick an epic goal.
Chris Scerri looked over his shoulder at training, spotted Mason Cox as the only opponent anywhere near him and decided to try the same thing.
Scerri knew he had Cox’s measure, allowed him to just get close enough, then pulled away again as he took multiple bounces. Scerri had a superb debut on Saturday and has plenty of speed”
“Matt Johnson scare
It looked ugly when Matt Johnson went down clutching his right ankle during a tackling drill. Johnson badly injured his left ankle last season and didn’t get back in the team for the finals.
His leg got caught underneath him during the drill and Johnson immediately left the field to be assessed. But he returned five minutes later and completed the session.”
“Injury news
In better news for Fremantle, both Brennan Cox and Jaeger O’Meara trained with the main group and moved freely. Cox injured his calf during the pre-season, while O’Meara missed the first two games with a hamstring issue.
Michael Frederick was out on the field as he slowly re-builds his body following an ankle injury. Hayden Young and Brandon Walker were also in the rehab group as they work their way back from injuries.”

Sad to hear Voss quiet; he needs to be himself but not try too hard. Hope he gets his mojo back
