Someone mentioned in another thread in passing, but with Sharp trying out midfield, could he find a role as a tagger at AFL level as he looks like he might have bit more upper body size and strength to go with this run. We really only use Wagner, it would be good to have a back up in that role, especially as we really didn't have a tagger to use against Gold Coast in last year's final.
 
Maybe Whan for Carr. May be even tighter this week. MacDonald back and also the emergencies for the Collingwood game. Did we only hold Banfield over last week? If so only one more available from that source.

On someone like Bailey Smith, I wouldn't mind to try him as a tagger.

You would sacrifice a lot of team structure, having to change up your centre bounce setup and everything else but it is worth a shot.

We get a rare 14 in the WAFL Seniors with 3 down at Reserves - Riddle, Kickett and Luke. Both our emergencies that aren't traveling already named - Cox and NOD. Whan's WAFL League debut.

For what it's worth, Lucas Robinson has been named at fwd pocket for the League team. Surely should spend good time inside mid after that performance. But tbf, Souths are getting Blechynden and Parker back this week.
 
Good to see Whan make his Peel debut, spots really are tight given the health of the list.
Re Riddle, he has plenty of time to develop his craft, I am glad they kept Ollie Murphy in despite McDonald being back in the team, this year is make or break for him.

We're getting Bailey Sniff?? :nose:🌫️



And has there been a better name in footy than Floyd Burmeister? It's a ripper!!
 
God, I'd completely forgotten about Scoops. And I was litterally thinking only the other day who wears #29 these days, must have forgotten to chase it up.

How difficult do we think it's gunna be for him to find a way back into the big team in the future?

Mcvee keeps playing how he is and Simpson should be in by the end of the month

Whan is listed in the reserves on the current stat sheet live, which has no stats yet.

Kickett, Luke, Riddle and Whan. 4 in the reserves. Maybe Banfield flew back early and will play league.
Yep, Whan is definitely playing in the ressies. I'm surprised he's behind Carr.
 
Two goals to Ryda Luke in next to no time. On top of three behinds. All in the first half. Isn't he supposed to be a defender?? 👀

Also, 4.13 against 4.1. 😂
Huh?

Definitely a forward

In fact his claim to fame is piling on goals quickly

Kicked 8 in a game last year

Well there you go. He truly is the phantom of the Freo squad - I don't recall a single mention of him during offseason training.

He is a proper raw talent Cat B selection

Apparently is lightning quick too according to Clark
