Personally, I think Hayden, Grover, Sandilands and Thornton should make the cut.

Fair enough Kenny. Athough I wood not be surprised to see Woods instead of Thornton.

Good to see Thornton on the way back, it is all starting to come together.

Footygoss.com reports that Murphy and Thornton are in and Hayden has been dropped

 

[Kapow!!!]

I'd love to see Murphy make it into the Seniors with Woods, Cunningham and Thornton missing out.

I remember a couple of times against Port, Roger was going for the ball against Pickett, and he pulled out of the contest. Happened twice that I remember noticing. Wonder if that's the reason.
Still surprises me that he's out.... not happy.

Interesting call if true, but then Macca was dropped when he really wasn't the worst performer.

Thats reason enough IP, not guts no glory. Go play with the puppies!

Freo are soft and players have got to toughen up, mentally is what will stop us getting to the finals and just making the numbers up and getting further into September. We do have the skills just mentally vunerable.

I'm glad to see CC start to put pressure on the players, its always debateable whether someone else shoulda been dropped first, just hope that this strategy works.

Hayden didn't have a very good game today.
Longmuir kicked 7 (6 to half time before it bucketted down)
Clive kicked 4 to half time apparently (dunno what his final tally was)

Makes things interesting if Medhurst fails to perform on the road again.

Clive ended up with 6. T'Lo was sensational in the wet with his 7 but was at FF and it must be put in perspctive a bit in that the Sowf's player who was on him was playing his 4th game and would have learnt a lot about how to play FB..

Can't see any changes after that performance. Polak was probably the only player who didn't do enough but he won't go.

Agree, Pollie didn't do much but it is hard to see where he was positioned from my TV position.
