Ben McKinley famous for getting us pick 86 via Norf

(Also kicked 7 in a game v Essendon, destroying their finals hopes and won rookie of the year)
 
Honestly can't get any consistency with our speed this year. So bad we're even looking at Bayok FFS.

Jetta dead, Ryan dead, Venables dead, Shuey dead, Petrucelle dead....


Yeo is about the last explosive player we have (excluding Marsden), if i was him i'd be nervous.
 
Hope Ah Chee takes this opportunity and lock in a b22 spot moving forward.
Has done nothing to earn his spot.
Just from an educational point of view- what do you call significant contributing factor for someone to earn a spot?? Just want to make sure we are on the same page. Even a novice can pick a player if he has 40 touches and 5 goals with no turn over and 80% plus kicking efficiency.Apart from extreme cases, what do you consider to be a performance worthy of a call up??

Well we know Masten will not pull a hammy :) unlikely for him to roll an ankle, doesn't have side steps or most likely he is tackled before he rolls his ankle What else is left?? Concussion?? no chance, he will never go for 50-50 balls . Let's just rule out Masten ever getting injured.

Let's look at the +ve,

If we manage to get to lets say 9-4 after round 13, we will get all of them back.Or even better, find some rough diamonds in our WAFL like Brander, Ainus or more. :)

Famous for kicking the wrong way in an AFL game.

i remember it well 20,000 fans going WTF
 
Changes seem to have been made to make the minimum disruption of the current set up from the last few weeks,
so fair play selectors (unless we lose ;))

The Bayok elevation makes complete sense, we are losing small forwards like crazy. Depth is being tested for sure.

Given he has been in the AFL system for a LONG time, he needs to at the very least be one of the best, if not BOG in WAFL.
It is clear he is being gifted a game due to our injury situation.
All I'm saying is I hope he brings something to the team that all our other debutants have so far.
Given he was a failure at Port (overtaken by turnover king SPP... really?) and has shown nothing so far at the Eagles.

Hutch/Brander & even McInnes provide great examples of the standard deserving of a call up.
 
Interesting trend this year with the club really telegraphing the team pre-selection announcements. I guess they are getting on a plane anyway so people can work it out, but I've never really noticed us do this before.

I think they have always announced debutants early. It’s just that there are so many debutants this year it’s become a weekly thing!

can't help but feel like the club often uses the travelling emergency position as a chance to get kids used to the AFL environment/prep
Especially with the EP bye.
