Kersten > Pearce
Taberner > Jones
Bennell > Sutcliffe
Crowden > Sheridan

Sheridan is done. He did some okay things coming back, although has no longevity in his playing when stringing games together.
Rest Alex for god sake, incredibly slow, runs past the play too much and barely has energy for 2nd / 3rd efforts.
Sutcliffe injured, think he might get another year at least.
Jones has been good, but think playing AFL isn't as effective compared to WAFL - considering his real work will come in the pre-season.

Out
- Giro (just needs some time at Peel. Think he could be a solid player but needs to improve disposal)
- Jones
- Sutcliffe
- Matera

In
- Taberner
- Bennell
- Strnadica (need an athletic 2nd) or Johnson
- Crowden or Ballantyne
 
Out
- Giro (just needs some time at Peel. Think he could be a solid player but needs to improve disposal)

I respect the call by you, but honestly I admire how he goes about his playing and wants to back himself in. I wish more people backed themselves in from 50 or had more pings at goal on the run instead of trying to do one pass too many and upping the probability of a turnover.

Trial and error, one step back two steps forward.
 
Bye bye Sheridan and Suttclife.

Thought Jones was pretty solid. Good marks, he got involved. We ll need two rucksanyway. Please no Tabs as second ruck. Let him run all day up forward.

In: Bennell, Tabs, Crowden,

Out: Suttclife, Sheridan, Tucker?

Don't know really. We need Bennell, even just up forward and Rans too.

Tabs/Cox will be great
 
In: Crowden, Bennell, Taberner, Grey, Kersten
Out: Giro, Cox, Jones, Sutcliffe, Sheridan

Tucker could be dropped too, not sure who could replace him.

After that tripe, let’s see what some of our squad can offer and drop those unlikely to be best 22 next year:

Out: Sutcliffe, Sheridan, Jones, Giro (unlucky)
In: Strads, Bennell, Tabs, Crowden.
 
Matera was actually decent. Horrible day for a forward. He did get a few disposals. We ll need him next week.

Agree, he was better than last week. Still think if he just carries a little more and used his evasive skill more instead of treating the football like a hot potato he'll look better.
 
So hard to do an outs after a game like today.

Ins: Bennell (but I doubt they’ll play him), Taberner (but he’ll be short of a gallop), Crowden (needs a couple of AFL games to keep him dog hungry), Kersten (bigger body than Duman, need his disposal out of back half), Strnadica (no chance but love to see him get a game).

Jones -> Tabs
Giro -> Crowden or Ballantyne
Suttcliffe (inj) -> Bennell
Sheridan -> Kersten

Giro is losing confidence and disposal and decision making is getting worse. Needs a mental break, go back and practice more in the WAFL.
Tabs even if underdone will be a better option than Jones, Bringing Kersten into defence allows more flexibility and drive against a taller Eagles line up.

'Harley - its time'. Should be a banner in the cheer squad next week.
