Not for me. It is Aish for Henry IMO.

I sure hope Fyfe plays every game this season. We still sorely need him against a big bodied mid + elite ruck combo.

Maybe but it is a pre-season game. We wouldn't have bothered tagging or paying closer attention to him.

100%. All these guys mentioned made a good case for round 1. Apart from Chapman they would all be considered fringe in that 16-30 range on the list.
Will be interesting to see selection integrity in action for round 1

If Aish is fit - he comes in for Henry
Fyfe for prob crowden
Treacy for Lobb, keep Meeks

Probably harder than it needed to be, but the flipside is we know what we need to work on over the next with.
Chapman, Freddie, Brodie, Meek all looked promising and the seniors will be better for the hitout.

Good hit out, credit to WC for putting up a contest.
Lots of tape to go through for the players, which is exactly what was needed. For me, most was good except around the contest. Bit fumbly around the ball so first disposal was not clean, bumped off the ball a bit too often & slow to spread on offence & defence although offensively was definitely better & a huge improvement on previous years v WC who have owned us there.
I really do hope Acres can continue with that type of game, hopefully without the security of a contract he will.

A bit to take away but not much considering how weakened WC are.
Chapman the big plus. Young was messy, Clark patchy.
Forwards bar Freddy we’re awful. Walters only worked into it once they were gassed & the pace went off the game.
Mids got killed by Naitanui, Kelly & some second stringers. At least Brayshaw & Serong worked into it. Crowden was invisible.
A lot to work on. We’re not getting near finals playing like that.

I think Treacy (Lobb), Aish (Henry) and O'Driscoll (Crowden) are the key ins for mine.
Sturt replaces Banfield or Schultz when he's ready to go.

Yup. Think they said we kicked 4 goals 10 from set shots
We kick 9,5 - we win every time

That's a nice way of saying our forward line is still our weakness

Acres has been my emerging new scapegoat, but he won me over tonight. He gets the first 3 rounds now at least.
After today, I feel Brodie is a lock, Chappy is gunna be happy.
Acres is still best 22,
We do need more targets inside 50.
Treacy in, Sturt if he’s fit in.

I still think though if Freddy kicks a straight and kicks 5 and we win by 40, suddenly It doesn’t seem as bad
We were really accurate last week

Yeah I think Brodie is in the 22 for a few weeks. Erasmus / blakely / crowden will be on his tail for that role

This is what I posted about Acres a while ago (and it is quite fashionable to dig up old posts of mine):

Frederick was one of our worst for accuracy last season too, but given we had as much bounce off half back through run and carry as a dropped bag of sand, he didn't get those quick breaks out the back for an easy goal.
We need him to kick at least half his shots if he is going to be on the end of so many chances.

Not surprised we were rusty with the ins, players dropped.
Still don’t have that medium tall forward playing. Missing
Treacy.
Meek has also improved, some posters last year reckoned he was trash.
Mid season we will see how Erasmus, Amiss are doing.
Still think Worner will be a positive, same as Walker.

That game was yuck. The negatives:
The positives:
- If scoring is still a problem than forget finals
- Our midfield is still getting bullied
- We didn't use the pace we have available to us
- Henry, Cox and Logue have been average both weeks
The positives:
- Skills and ball movement have seemed to improve
- More shots at goal
- Tackling has improved (but not perfect)
- Brodies emergence will free up Fyfe
This aged well, one of two to kick 2 goals and 3rd for freo in fantasy points.

You had me at great. The Gaff part was an unexpected bonus.
Come to think of it. We bumped Gaff back-to-back. Brayshaw last week. Walters this week.

If he doesn’t improve his accuracy, he has no business being out there. 1.4 is shocking.
