2nds The Peel Thunder Thread (Round 5 vs. West Perth @ 1.10pm Sat 2nd May on 7plus)

Walker will come straight back in, hopefully for Banfield but more likely for Worner.

Banfield and Worner both deserve to be in the 23.

 

[Lach72]

Walks back in, Banfield then Sub.

Fyfe out with a calf

 

[dominguez]

lol Nicholls projection is exciting but fmd dom you’ve just jumped the shark and are still ascending here with this take

Four disposals, none at half time today from Amiss.

 

[Superkoops]

Walker would have to be in the mix to return. The likes of Banfield, Chapman and Worner don’t have the speed and agility to go with the zippy smalls.

Jesus Christ the West.

They didn’t notice that the formatting completely changes with Nicholls and Walkers write up. Looks like they’ve been photoshopped in. On Word it takes 2 buttons to fix this.

And Aish as well. They have 9 names and couldn’t find a way to equally distribute them to not screw up the format

Jesus Christ the West sounds like a controversial stage show the world never got to see!

Hopefully it is a good sign that Jack Delean is begining to put together some good footy at Peel.
He was selected with high expectaions I think as a budding small forward.

 

[gungho]

I wonder if JOM or Sonny line up this week for Peel?

Sonny to have a rest I think , still not over the knee

Saw Sonny on the news tonight heavily strapped knee and limping noticably. No chance..... for a ling time.

Really thought he was gonna have a mini resurgence this year playing with Shai. Now it looks like he'll never get the chance to

Yeah, pretty sad news unfortunately. Also, as brutal as this sounds, it is also vindication to the Kane Cornes of the world who said Fyfe and Sonny should not be given 2 year contracts.

Not necessarily, their off field leadership matters.

Wasn’t Sonny back early to preseason with the youngsters? And Fyfe a club legend, we couldn’t get a better role model. I’m not disappointed at all they are on the list.

If they’d been given one year deals for 2024, there isn’t a chance either wouldn’t have been renewed for 2025 based off last years form. Puts us in exactly the same situation we’re in right now. It is what it is.

I think they have shown a lot more off-field leadership, maturity and training standards then any 4th round draft pick would have done.

100%

Both had decent 2024 seasons and their roles were areas of little depth, especially on field experience component.

I suppose it was still technically a mistake giving a 2 year contract at the time as 2 x 1 year would give the club more control but even in hindsight it made zero difference. Hopefully it saved us 50k per player.

Fair enough but there's plenty of leaders that can show training standards at the club. Guys like Caleb Serong, Alex Pearce, Andy Brayshaw, Jordan Clark, Switta, JOM, Josh Treacy.
Ruthless coaches, like the Alistair Clarkson's of the world, only give 1 year contracts to guys over 30. Especially if they have a history of injury (like Fyfe).
I honestly thought the 2 year contract for both players was bonkers at the time. Give them a year. If they play well, give them another year.
I respect Fyfe for being an absolute champion but we are in the business of winning premierships and to do that, we really should be making hard calls.

 

[Stevooo3940]

I have never seen Jack Delean play but his last 4-5 weeks have been solid on the stats sheet. On a wet paddock like the SCG with the unpredictability of the bounce, I wouldn't be against playing a mosquito fleet. Give the kid a go!

Yep , not good for both of our Freo legends this year.

Geez mate I'm glad you're not my brain surgeon. You'd spend forever fussing about which synapse is connected to which lobe.

You wouldn’t want a fussy brain surgeon?

Of course they noticed it, it has obviously been done on purpose to fill the space (same as with Aish on the left side).

OK, to wrap this up, I'm with The Lobbster on this one. It looks messy and shouldn't have happened. I'll leave punishment to those of you over there who read that rag.

Good to see Sturt named
