Just about everytime I've watched it, we had a lot of trouble stopping their run from defence. Like their current team AFL side they run from defence and just swarm in numbers down the ground. And like our AFL side, no-one chases and we didn't touch it from half-back to forward. There were times when our more experienced side was dominant though.Despite Peel winning the series over the past 4 years 8-6
nah we usually win tbhPeel vs East Perth always give us a little taste of how the WC and Freo game-plans fare against each other, and we usually get thumped
Fair enough. I must have been paying more attention to the two game plans not the results. When the two teams are at equal strength, their game-plan looks more damaging then ours. They tear us apart through the middle and their half backs and midfield run a lot harder than ours. We looked better when we had a team full of experienced player for a few years but before that we used to have a lot of trouble keeping up with their run. That's the way I remember feeling about it when I watched the games.nah we usually win tbh

No offence to Ugle but Peel do need a new Captain regardless Freo youngsters would love playing under Captain Barlow.I know Perth are into Barlow, and Peel may need a new captain.

They should at least dominate the ruck.I'm thinking Peel might go ok next year.

I didn't go to the games this year only listened to the games on the radio but for such a young player he seemed to settle into the level very quickly and got a fair amount of the ball. He certainly seemed to hold his own and Peel didn't have to carry him, like usually happens when a young peel player comes into the league side. What I don't know from not seeing him live is whether he has pace and what his disposal efficiency is like and whether he has that intangible AFL quality thing. He sounds like he is further along then some of the more fancied young players but that doesn't always translate into being afl quality. He played well in the colts finals but Pina sounded more damaging, so I wonder if he is more solid than dynamic. Others who went to the games this year may be able to fill you in on the rest, but from what I was listening to he seemed to cope very well at league level for such a young kid.Sorry to use this post to ask you Apuchar but can you fill me in on the talent of james Sturrock. Seems to have come on a lot. would he be a good pick up as say a potential mid?
How does it make people feel with WCE getting that license for their own WAFL club,where does that put us,should we also try and get one down the track ? they are going to top up their new club with additional wafl players to make it viable,I guess those players will probably be paid quite well by WCE to join. I can see advantages because they will use this new club to bring in future prospects,indigenous players etc who would naturally align them selves with WCE. It would be like an academy,I am really worried that this is going to make WCE an even stronger club in this state and the gap between us and them will widen further. We need to do the same ,sooner rather than later.

So Peel have one more ex-AFL spot left to fill. Anyone heard who they are looking at? Know they were looking at Brady Grey but seems he'll go to East Freo.Jackson Merrett a handy pickup
Utterly shocked that meima didn't start this thread
