Crichton missing for Peel is interesting. i didn't see their game against West perth but read he had 31 possies and presumably he had a good day. Injured or resting for the derby?

looks like Crytown and Crozier are firming for the first derby. When did forster move from Swans to become a Thunder player?
 
Sorry estibador, I think I'm going to have to get down to The Sharks v Swannies game. A more interesting selection of players for this week particularly if I can get there in time for the ressies and see Simpson go around. Surprised he's only in the 2's.
Will be flabbergasted and disappointed if Crighton makes the round 1 side but in Ross we trust I guess.

No worries, I'll report back on the Peel game.

Maybe. I watched his first half against West Perth last week and he racked up a bit of footy but just bangs away at it, no subtlety or thought goes into what he does. Its just old school and doesn't in any way that I can see fit in with the possession style of modern AFL. But I know that I'm very influenced by aesthetics and there is nothing remotely attractive in Jesse to my eye, the hair, the running style, the kicking. It all looks ugly. But if Ross thinks it can be effective I'm not going to argue. I'll bitch and moan a bit but at the end of the day if he's giving great effort and we are banking the 4 points and flying home well . .

Although having said that I realised there is really only Duffy and Neale and Simpson in the ressies I'm keen on seeing. The Peel game has more in terms of spread. I'd like to see Michie go around again and I really want to have a good look at Forster. I'm working in the City Saturday morning so it might be easier to come to Lathlain unless the other game is at Basso? I might decide closer to the time and text you.

But yet we sat down at that training session last pre season and both commented on how smooth his handballing was in close traffic and how hard he pushed himself to chase and apply pressure. Remember us having that convo E Shed?

Out: Spurr
In: Crichton
Seppo: Pleased

Buddy-bias :P Out: Chrichton, In: Neale :)
 
Although I'm not a Chrichton fan, he seems to possess good 'inside' awareness, looks to have gained some toe compared to previous seasons. I think he genuinely has a hard edge to him and has become RTB's project for this year much like Crowley, Clancee and Walters were last year.

Moller in the league side is interesting,with his age and experience you would have thought he would line up in the ressies.He must be tracking along nicely.Great news for our big man stocks

Sandi was playing ressies for East Freo while he developed, wasn't he?
Good signs for young Lurch then, sounds like the work at the Academy in NSW and GWS has fast tracked his development ahead of most other young ruckmen.

He does look good moving in traffic on occasion. I've since had the opportunity to watch him love a couple of times in the pre-season and not been impressed. Like Malpaso says though, maybe he is this years project player. Good luck to him, I would much rather see others out there but I'm sure they will all get their chances and good luck to them. Its good to have so much competition for spots!

Has Forster transferred to Peel has he? Listed as a Swans player in the West lift out earlier in the week but not unusual for them to get it wrong, just hadn't heard anything about him moving.
