Disappointing that Clarke hasn't taken a mark yet.

Just for perspective, Collins has had 5, Uebergang 4, Hannath 2, Smith 1, Keitel 8,

Purely based on the stats, for those who listened/were there, looks like Langdon, Clancee and Tucker were decent.

Question- was Keitel playing forward or down back?

Also good to see a few old Freo boys in Van Berlo and Duffy going around.

Good to see the Peel side keeping in step with the seniors - after kicking 4.10 to 3/4 time, they come out and kick 1.1 and two OBOF in the final quarter to make sure any potential come-back was out of the question. :rolleyes:

Going only off radio, so this could all be way off:

- Langdon was Peels best followed by Clancee.
- Tucker had a slow start, but got going and was solid.
- Sounds like Ueber had solid game early but he's got no tank whatsoever. Miles away from AFL level fitness - be interested what closer WAFL watchers have to say on that, could be wrong.
- Grey seems to be permanent fixture in the fwd setup now and was OK, but needs to create and convert more to really push for AFL return.
- Not sure why, but sounds like Mora disappeared in the final 1/4 or so but was solid early on in the game.*
- Clarke was good in the ruck, but fairly average around the ground and fwd. With his athleticism, he really should monster it at WAFL level ... but those knees (maybe?), I'm worried for him.


* Edit: just found out he did a hammy :(

No 52 looks like a player.

Clarke - Crapola

Hannath - Soft delist

C.Pearce - Nice reverse torpedo but that's all I remember from him

GU - He tries hard but he's not AFL quality

Uber - He's a ******* defender not a forward

Mediocre skills in mediocre conditions

Uber got break up season last year in neafl after moving to defender and win rising star , he only got to play there because mora injured. That the reason I mad at our selection panel or Ross regarding player position for their development.

That sucks and makes it really hard for him to show the durability to be picked for AFL this year.
It really does.

There's still a chance. He gets over this and finishes the last 1/2-1/3 of the season in great shape and maybe even pushing for an AFL game or so (though I don't think that's all that necessary), and we're in a different place. But if he just keeps breaking down ... well it would be a sad end of a long and quite shitty AFL story really.
