2nds Peel Thunder 2019

[salim malik]

That is as close to Harley at full gallop that I,'ve seen for a long time. He has been very measured in his pace in all the outings I,ve seen him at Peel. The way he burnt of the 2 South Freo boys was a sight to behold. Don't want to upset the footy Gods but wow wee.

Damn 12 and 15 Marks that's some great defence work

I feel sorry for that poor bastard running full tilt chasing Bennell for the first one. Dude never stood a chance but at least it will look good on review.

Think it was Brock Higgins the South Freo ruck - Would have loved to have drafted him on to our list instead of Jones

With respect to Peel next year, I was wondering if there should be a move to recruit a senior player, very late in their AFL career to a role as playing captain and assistant with a link to Freo.
I'll explain, 2020 player X is recruited as Peel player & Freo/Peel players assistant coach.
This would allow Freo's other assistant coaches to focus on the senior team.
I know all freo players train together, but this is more as a link between the clubs.
2021 or 2022, depending of fitness &/or form &/or mindset, player X could transition into a full-time Freo assistant coach with emphasis on the players at Peel.
This would provide more of a connection between the 2 clubs in my belief.
Player X would thus also have a career pathway for post-playing life.
I even have an idea for the player to offer the role to: David Myers, WA boy nearer the end than the start of his career, who is too good at lower levels, but hasn't quite done that well in the AFL, often due to injury, but has always displayed good character & this was emphasised when he dropped himself from the senior team recently. I have no idea if Mr Myers would be interested in this. For all I know he is a stockbroker off-field & has a great career already lined up.
What do people think of this idea?

Good idea, although I would much rather a player who is an ex-docker. Not sure what happens with deBoer after this season, but he ticks boxes for me. Smart guy, and love the way he has worked his career. Does have a post playing career lined up, but may work as a transition.

Brock Higgins is slow and short. He’d be killed at afl level.

That is brilliant news

Sam Sturt and Luke Valente will line up for Peel. (AFL – Travis King(2))

So pleased - from the images today Sturt does look like he has put some size on his legs and torso. He could be a pretty big unit given a few preseasons.

Webber said he put on 2kg whilst on his concussion. Impressive in 8 weeks.

That's incredible. Shows you what is possible with a professional team and full-time application.

Mate, i could show him how to put on 2kg in a week. Not an ounce of it muscle.

That’s nothing, I can do that on a good weekend.

Thats so awesome, not every kid can actually put on that muscle, good indicator he could be like Fyfe in that his body can do it.

 

[theGav56]

All I want is one more Fyfe. That;s all.

Imagine a faster Fyfe with elite footskills...

Such a thing would be the greatest footballer in the history of the game so I'm not going to hold out for that one.

I'll take a half that player and be happy

Sturt named on the wing for Peel, but no Valente. Maybe in the ressies?

Yes he is starting in the ressies, as is O’reilly

 

[TheLastCall]

Bennell with an early goal.

Looks like North has woken up 8 pos in the first.

Any radio feed on the game?

Are we really that jinxed? Or aren’t we managing our players correctly?
