He could be if Fagan just gave him an extended run without fear of ever being dropped like he does with some of his pets such as Rayner, Witherden, Hipwood etc despite regularly having poor game after poor game.

Crikey. Whitfield's just about the best player in the game
Freo flooded back and clogged our forward line and then tried to rebound (our Achilles Heel!). We had the fitness and structure up until the last quarter and as we got worn out they outworked us. We were very static because of this also. So possibly won in the coaches box during the week. I also feel that our worse players were way less impactful in the game. Today we had some absolutely huge players as in Andrews and Charlie early and I also think that McCarthy played well defensively. All in all we lost by a point away to Freo so not the end of the world. I’m more concerned of our turn around and how we play next week. We looked out of it and think that there might be some players rested. Hodge looks very slow as happens but will always be a legend.

They had him tagging Fyfe for a bit. Fyfe has 26 disposals and was damaging, but Lester did some good grunt work. Lester had 6 marks and laid 6 tackles which was the third highest for the team. His 11 kicks were often crucial clearing kicks too.

About 5:35 to go in the 4th Q, the ball enters our 50 to a contest. The lack of effort from Rayner was astounding. It appeared his man was Wilson

To compound this our contested work around the ground was terrible. Even if we could get a stoppage after kicking to the pack we couldn't win it.
Thought he was going to drag us over the line with a couple of his marks at the start of the last.

Maybe in the last but he was playing wing a lot in the first 3 quarters often opposed to Hill
I wasn't that upset at the lost. It was a tide against us and we were hanging on tooth and nail but they never 'broke' us and kicked away.

Yep. Lester is a brave and humble footballer. Like Gardiner he plays without ego and gives it his all.
And tapped it toward their goal in the last 2 mins. Who does that? Really so friggin stupid.

Sorry mate, that's a bridge too far. I get you're frustrated, but at least try to be rational.
Just getting back from the game.
No run in the last quarter killed us - don’t care how wonderfully Rayner has defended (?), poor bloke has nothing to offer atm - lost all touch.
Not Cameron’s fault - he didn’t select himself. Never popular but Cutler/Allison was made to play Optus.
In Fages we trust, but horrible selections didn’t help #notsayingwouldchangeresult

There is literally no acid on Fagan.. in any form, what so ever.

Nah. I isolated him and he was either tagging Fyfe, playing loose man in the backline or attempting an offensive role in the middle (early). I love what Lester brings to the team and the fact that Hill was off the leash had nothing to do with Lester.
We did a lot right . Some of our better players were a bit down. We lack outside run . That's been self evident . How many times did we rebound and get it forward like they did ? Hardly at all post first 15 minutes . Whether we've got the cattle to do it presently is the question .

this way too often we have our smalls and talls flying for mark of the year.. Pretty sure they all had frees against paid for jumping too early
I'll say it again..... for the um millionth time, IMO Stef is over rated.

Depends who he selects next week. How will people feel if Robertson and Christensen are deemed to be the solution to our lack of run next week?
Squizzy wasn't much chop, hard to see him holding his spot.
I may be in the minority, but Stef is in the process of falling off the cliff. Got a bath from Lobb. His strength has been his ability to play as an extra mid, now that more ruckmen are equally agile, he is being terribly exposed for his complete lack of presence and his lack of genuine rucking ability.
He has been enormous for us, but his strengths aren't as strong and his weaknesses aren't as palatable when that's happening.

Has a rising star winner ever been delisted ?

I was at the game. Heart breaking. A lot of posters talking smack about Hinge - thought he was actually quite good tonight, he is providing more than both Cutler and Basti at the moment.
