I just hope so much that Alex can play out the rest of the season in full. Imagine if we snuck into finals and he played a finals game or two - you’d be so confident as a fan heading into 2022 with AP at the peak of his powers aged 27.

My buddy is only 1-3 weeks away. He’s gonna come back in ripping form and tear open the comp. He’s paying $18 for the rising star right now. Get around it!
In all seriousness I’m looking forward to watching him come back and start stringing together some games. His kick off HB would be huge to our teeny tiny, slim chance of finals this year. If nothing else, he can start building for next year.
Plus, It not easy being my buddy. It’s like having a weight around your neck as you’re trying to swim upstream. You can over come Youngy!!!

For mine - Hamling gets left out. Pearce plays lockdown, Cox the 2nd KPD, Ryan looser and Logue on the smaller guys/3rd tall depending on matchups.

It's easy to forget just how good Hammer is - a bit like when people were writing Alex Pearce off. Hamling is best 22 every day of the week - I'd be finding a new spot for Logue or Cox if everyone is available.

I know this is the positivity thread but re Hammer he's sounding a bit despondent at present.
Not because of any inside knowledge I think just the frustration in not knowing how long it's going to take to even get the minimum strength required to take off and land reasonably well.
Really doubt it's career ending though. We are probably talking being fresher for 2022 than this year.

Some worthy positivity is a big kudos to Acres, he has been brilliant the past few weeks, putting his body on the line and sticking a heap of tackles. Credit where credit is due, that crisp tackle was incredible !!
Mundys win / loss ratio as captain, is on a steep upward trend.
And playing undersized ruck as well.

That tackle was immense!
Sydney and GWS have a couple of testing weeks ahead, assuming we can get the job done against teams lower than us. Then we might be hitting our stride when we deal with Sydney, Richmond, Lions Eagles on the trot..only Sydney away at this point which might need to be moved anyway (but also sucks if it does 'cos I live in Syd).
Getting pretty excited if we ease Tabs and Fyfe back into the mix and our defensive structures (inc Pearce, Wilson and Logue) have another half a dozen games in a row together.

Pearce is not of the woods in terms of injuries.
Sure he can play but I want two season playing 35 plus games before I consider changing my mind.
Hamling is in the same boots. He can play for sure and easier is in best 22 by a comfortable mile but can't get on the park.
In saying all this, can you have Hamling, Pearce, Logue, and Cox all in the same team, with Chapman, Hughes, Young, and Ryan as medium defenders?
Then you add Wilson as a small defender. That's 9 defenders without counting Walker, Tucker or Aish.
For my likings, you have 3 Tall backs, 2 medium backs and 2 small defenders as balanced defense.
Having Cox or Logue playing WAFL isn't a great idea except for Peel and a waste of salary cap space.
We need to move on a tall back and rather keeping the younger players in Logue an Cox.
In one breath you're saying you're worried about injuries, then you're wanting to move guys on.
It's OK to have young players developing in WAFL, when they are good enough to push the incumbents out they will.
It's called depth and the lack of it is what has derailed our last few seasons.

That is 1 hell of depth defensively.
Walker, young can move up onto the wings.
Logue can move onto.the midfield.
Imagine the rebounding. Scary

Fb. Hammer, Pearce, Ryan.
Hb. Cox, Ryan, Willow
DefMid. Young, Walker, Logue
Interchange(def). Hugh's
Tucker can move out of defense & play high half forward. Who have I missed ?
That would be a very formidable backline.

Chapman. Maybe wing or midfield for Chappy eventually?

Cox and Logue have already done their apprenticeship.
Plus, if we do that they will demand a trade. Rather trade Hamling or Pearce than Cox or Logue.
Chapman, and Walker developing in the WAFL is fine but not AFL standard players who are in their in 5 or 6 years.
Rather, have a Alex Silvagni type player as depth if the injuries get over the top than having a Hamling is taking up cap space.
Cox, Logue, and Peace/Hamling is enough in the best 22 with Chapman covering any injuries and developing in WAFL. Plus, two talls denfers plus Ryan and Hughes can cover two injuries.
Can Hamling play? 100% and would come in and play great footy but it's seriously a lot of cap space for depth.
Good teams have good depth, we are now "getting" to that position. Fearing that everyone who doesn't play AFL each week will leave is just paranoia.
Anyway, this is the positivity thread, so I'll leave it as that - some of us are glass half full, some half empty. All good.
They don’t $400-500k sitting in the seconds.
Correlated with improved goal kicking ...
Just maybe when it comes to goal kicking :-
Mundy has Rolls Royce steering.
Fyfe has Kenworthy, it’s bloody hard to change direction.
