Delean with his 5th and we hit the front

#flagmantle baby

Feels like Delean is saving his career here

Needs to string a few more than just the one good game

hopefully work rate has clicked for him


Subi are a shocking team this year too, they scored 2.7 last week and lost by 100

He’s been getting positive comments the last few games

Yeah, my thoughts haven't been as glowing but haven't been posting them

butchers it slightly too much

If he becomes a goal scorer then that changes things, you take that kind of good over the bad

 

[Superkoops]

Just back from the game and he was on the wing the majority of the game, best game he has played by far in that he took his opportunities

Davies was great in the last quarter with strong marking , for me he is better than Draper who is a bit wishy washy in a contest, cant afford to have him and cox in the same team

Riddle shows promise and is a keeper, Nichols looks the part but is not holding his marks , needs a solid pre season

Most confident I’ve been in Davies being able to step up to AFL. He played with real arrogance. Some telling marks and then in the last minute of the game a majestic fend off to then ran around a couple of players and deliver nicely i50. Not seen that too often from Davies.

Delean has been building. Has been much better the past couple of weeks. He often chews off too much and tries to run around and thru too many players…. Like he has too much unwarranted arrogance and not respecting his opponents. Also as mentioned a bit loopy with his kicks which invites the defender to take advantage either intercept, turnover or 50/50. He did a lot better with regards to not taking on players too much today and found himself in the right place and right time quite often. Let’s see him continue in this vein and get another contract potentially on rookie list.

All of a sudden we have another small forward worthy of unearthing.

Boring reporting, would probably have preferred a Suma summary!

Helped by coaches identifying he needed a change of role. Playing on the wing has seemed to help him get a touch and some confidence.

 

[Paracleet]

How does Colton keep getting a game?

 

[freo_leo29]

Narkle and Walters back this week

Omac out so far, might be the holdover

Tregenza back too

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I hope Dudley plays with Walters. Would be so fun to watch

AFL Emergencies are always out at this stage of the week.

Dudley and Aish are the other emergencies but didn't play for Peel in their last game so aren't 'outs'. Dudley was out with personal reasons and Aish travelled with the team to Gold Coast.

[Purple Suit]

JOM had been out for 2 months, he’s definitely going to play WAFL before any AFL games.

 

[theGav56]

Between now and the end of the main season I hope to see a rotation of veterans (Walters, O'Meara and perhaps Fyfe) and best 22.

Dudley won't have the fitness base required and he and Walters could be given 2-3 games blocks.

O'Meara and Fyfe could do similar.

The opportunity to have experience and freshness if finals become a realistic expectation is massive

 

[mightymouse75]

After that start when players started dropping & the old timers were long term outs before round 1.
I was reading some dark cards.
Realistically, we are looking pretty good as we hit the send half of the year.
We will be able to rest a few tired legs.
Horse & courses & all that.

 

[FreoRicci]

He is. He’s being held over for Thursday night.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Dudley playing but Walters a mysterious omission

Also fwiw, Carr sitting coz of WAFL Rules + West Coast don't have a WAFL reserves team. And OMac the holdover - Dudley and Aish added in.

 

[freo_leo29]

Damn, was looking forward to watching Son Son

Jesus. Probably another 1-2 weeks.

McDonald being the holdover is interesting.

 

[FreoRicci]

Those playing for Peel probably won’t for Thursday Night?
Puts a lot of players at a disadvantage.

Why?

Peel play before Freo do, if we need changes we will make them
