Peel players in the state squad on the weekend Jone, Jetta and Ugle.

It looks like the defense is qoing to be 80% Swan Districts. Ames, Howard, Justin Simpson and Notte.

Notte has being playing like (dare I say it) Harry Taylor in defense this year. (now that I have said that, he is a monty to have a shocker in the State game).

I noticed Notte playing quite well in defense against Peel, I just didn't have the courage to say anything about it out loud! ;)

He has become a very good footballer and is still only 25. If we wanted to take a chance on a underweight lag off backman, pinch hit ruck, pinch hit forward, i would go for him rather than Bootsma.

Notte has always been a smart and skilful footballer. He just wasn't ready at 18/19.
I think he could play at AFL level now.
Same with Bootsma really.
He reads the play very well as a defender Notte. It was a good move to put him down there. 196cm 80kg.

although the situation is better for mature agers these days its still kind of crazy that no one would draft him. He's proved that he's durable, you could get 5 years of plug & play footy out of him.

Yeah, but I guess we saw what happens to skinny guys against big bodied KPP in the AFL with Boyd on A Pearce yesterday. The question is, could Notte hold his own in the contest? He won't always have the option to go third man up.

I vaguely remember Notte saying that he's not interested in an AFL career and told interested clubs as much.

Or did I dream that?

I know Blackwell did. I think maybe Notte has so much trouble putting on weight he probably can't be bothered with it

no offence to the club, but how rushed was that article?
one example:
"Lachie Weller
Lachie played at half-back with time on-ball in the second half. He showed composure and skill providing rebound and run off half-back. He also had a great chase in the fourth quarter to stop the midfield."

I remember there used to be critique and analysis of each player. :( not such a good read any more, just Stats regurgitation. We can look those up our selves

Too many players to cover, in previous years everyone was injured.

At least we don't get the 'He ran some really good lines' crap they get up the road. What is it with them and lines.
For a while all we got was ground balls, positioning and transition running.
I kind of liked the old ones Malaxos did. It was like reading a primary school kids homework.
"Jesse Kr^T¨N - Jesse was good. He did some good running and defended good when we didn't have the ball. He needs to do more gooder things sometimes in the 2nd half but overall he did the good things good.
Now its just a couple of lines with very little of interest.

Always better to have them playing but I don't mind Pearce being put in cotton wool for a bit now, list continues to be very healthy compared to a lot of teams and a good game from Dawson and we still have that defensive option ready to go.

Glad to see my buddy back playing league, having quite the inauspicious year but he has another chance to demonstrate why we picked him up. Hope Zac gets through the game well, can't foresee him playing too many games at this level though.

Ugh, that forward line and our future. I know Apeness is highly regarded at the club but still has a lot that needs to be worked on. We are going to pay a kings ransom for a Hogan type eventually
It's not pretty is it? At least we have some solid depth when it comes to defenders though. Like Weller and Langdon on opposite wings, fair bit of dash there.
