If anyone watched the game Id love answers to two questions. 1. How was Mora playing before the injury? The West said he was playing well before the injury. 2. How was Langdon's disposal? His game looks good on the stat sheet, but his stats can be misleading as he is not always damaging with his possessions.
Just my observation , but honestly I miss the last two WAfL, will get back to it this weekend.
1) mora playing is OK and steady without been spectacular.
2) Langdon possession is good but got quite a few turn over.

Interesting to see how Peel go in the next few weeks as Apeness comes back in. Last year the Peel side became quite top heavy and it might happen again.

Apeness, Ueber, Smith with resting Hannath/Clarke is a fairly tall and not particularly mobile fwd line. They could swing some of those back of course, but you've already generally got Bootsma and Collins who aren't super tall, but play tall. Haven't seen much of him, but Nyhuis seems to play fairly tall too (??). It's also more important to keep your back line mobile than your front if you have to choose one, so I can see the fwd line, ironically, becoming quite crowded with talls.

The thing is they should play Clarke in the AFL and drop Griffin, then use the currency that Clarke will build and get a pick for him when he leaves. Griffin isn't going to do us any good either next year.
It's been said before but Clarke needs the drive and responsibility that a No.1 ruckman requires. He just gets lost out there in any other position.
That could have the exact opposite effect. Potential suitors could be turned off in droves.
Zachary has been a major disappointment for me.
Griffin, on the other hand, although no world beater accounted for Mumford on Sat night.
Ross is probably setting up for next year now and Zac Clarke probably doesn't figure in his plans. I doubt we"ll see him again in purple.

Completely forgot about SCOS, if he's another one to fit in.

I guess it depends on whether Freo want to stick with the Smith as a fwd plan or not - which I think they will. They'll probably rotate a bit but, yes, I think you're right Ueber will be the first to go back you'd think.
