Don’t melt too hard too soon. I have a funny feeling that Hilly will be a late out and replaced by Rixx.

Definite possibility.Don’t melt too hard too soon. I have a funny feeling that Hilly will be a late out and replaced by Rixx.
To be fair it was a single game that was pretty horrendous. You gotta draw the line somewhere in terms of performance regardless of age.
Or Nyhuis who can also play forwardJohnson's last couple of games were equally horrendous. And unlike with Hughes, there's not a lot of benefit to us from pumping games into Johnson at this point, because he will retire at the end of the year. Hughes won't. We have much more to gain by playing Hughes.

He was terrible. Not sure it is career ending. He ran around the whole preseason with a cast on his wrist.
But he has gone backwards significantly this year. To be honest when he was racking up decent stats in the second half of 2017 we were regularly being pumped.
He certainly needs to pull his finger out or that statement of yours might become true. But I think there are a few in the list changes queue that sit in front of him at present.
That would be a reasonable position to hold if Danyle and MJ had shown any evidence of a capable on field performance this year.I'm okay with the selections ATM. Been a week of turmoil so need to steady the ship. Experience and calm heads in the dressing room cant be a bad thing and hopefully it transfers out to the field. The jungle drums about club culture and leadership will only worsen if on field performances start to deteriorate. The media will use everything they can to exaggerate how much influence the off field stuff has had on the playing group.
Lets face it the WA media love nothing more than sinking the boots in to Freo so lets not give them anymore reason to do it this weekend.
I could understand why Johnson should be playing.I just can't understand the logic of playing Pearce & Johnson again this year. We are literally just wasting games picking them.
Johnson hasn’t been too bad. Bit slow and makes some mistakes but in reality he’s done alright, played quite well against Essendon in particular I thought. He uses his body quite well to limit his direct opponents pace and run around a contest, but is just dropping off offensively. Part of that drop off will simply be the movement of Hill back and Wilson’s inclusion mean he moves down the pecking order in terms of creating offense, part is clearly his age.That would be a reasonable position to hold if Danyle and MJ had shown any evidence of a capable on field performance this year.
Agreed. Hell I would of been happy if he got 10-12 games at the start of this season. Yes I was worried about Alex Pearces injury when he broke his leg. I was fearing he was going to have a bennell or Apness type injury run.Managed. I'd do it this week since he started sore last week.
I think anyone before the season started would of taken 18-20 games from him this year.

Yeah and without Wilson this week they may want to use Johnno as he provides another option getting the ball out of the backline. Hopefully he doesnt hurt us with any bad turnovers when he looks to go inside. He needs to be spot on this week that's for sure.Johnson hasn’t been too bad.
