My Team vs. Geelong

[dont bowl there]

Didn't Murphy have quite a few games last year?so he realy has had a chance,Kiwi on the other hand hasn't but I agree with what you say

Adam Campbell has played 6 games in his career, 3 of them have been followed by at least the next week in the WAFL.

Murphy played 7 games last year, 4 of them were followed by a stint in the WAFL.

How are we suppose to see if these two players are up to AFL when we keep sending them back to the pace of the WAFL after only 1 AFL match?

Murphy started last year assured of the desire to play him at FF, then had an ordinary pre-season (which is a flattering way of describing his form). He was then selected for more games than he actually deserved and contributed so little that it could not be justified to keep him in the team.

I agree with that, however the most he played in a row last year was 3, same as Campbell. They both had numerous games where it was 1 game AFL then 5 WAFL then 1 AFL etc, that is just crap coaching. How can they get the form back when they are only playing 1 game of AFL?

Where did Rhys Palmer come from? I didn't hear anything about him until he starting playing at AFL level and he settled straight in.

Is he in your best 22 or is he just doing a stella job covering some of the blokes on the injury list?

Unfortunately he's an East Fremantle kid...If you followed the draft or watched the U/18 Championships last year you most certainly would've heard of him.

Given the amount of *******s in our midfield, yes, he is best 22.

The only midfielder out through injury is Hasleby, you could probably include Headland but he's more of a forward/midfielder, plus he's only missed the 1 game.

Rhys Palmer averaged 32 possessions and 2 goals in last year's 18s carnival in WA's victorious side. Came r/u in the Larke Medal and some say he was unlucky not to win it.

Comes from East Freo, played WAFL seniors all last year and is definitely in our 22. No doubt.

Thanks a lot ImperialPurple and Prattsta.

Being from Melbourne all we heard about was Kruezer, didn't know anyone else was even in the draft.

Anyhow good on Palmer. Great start to his career and hope he keeps it up Thanks again

Bullshit.

If you didn't know who Palmer was after his performances in the U18 National Championships last year, then you weren't paying attention.

What I can't believe is he slipped to 7, or whatever pick it was the Dockers had.
