Mr AFL wrote: Smith, McPhail, Marlin and Ninyette all out.

Chester, Etto, Gooch, McKenna, Mercer, Ansey and Stack are into the squad of 25.

Disappointing Ian Hill not available. Would have been the perfect chance to debut him with Ninja out

Why wouldn't he play league football next year Grassy. Providing he's fit of course.

Mr AFL, I think it's an AFL conspiracy emanating straight from the office of Gill McLaughlan.

But I'm afraid you might have to get to the ground at
9 to see him.

Less Teal Cup,Ridiculous in-season Academy Tours,being managed,.....,are you getting the picture here,chaps?

Grassy, you'd reckon if fit and in form he'd do what Zac Fisher did and start the season until U18 duties. Why not?

Riddoch out is a help, he was the difference up at Joondalup earlier in the season. Stack kicked 7 that game so hopefully he gets a start

hey grassy...what's your take on young Morrissey? my son played footy and cricket with him at Aquinas and he showed a lot of promise.

Nelson racking up 51 possessions. Any danger of anyone going to him or wearing home like a glove. Make him earn every disposal. Outclassed yes but we don't make it easy for ourselves.

Even though we won the hit outs would have been trounced in clearances
WP had 4 players in their side taller than Eyres, has anyone seen Latch tried as a ruck

Just on Latch, doesnt feel like he really has improved this year?

The other guy Giblett also seems to always fumble when the pressure is on down back. Thought Ansey was good in defence. Great that McPhail was dropped dont rate him.

Was impressed with Joesph Ugle in the ressies.

Also Lennon Marlin playing as a leading full forward in the ressies. Lennon played this position alot at colts level from memory until they turned him into a defender....may be interesting to see if they continue to play him as a forward.

I know this sounds stupid but I am genuinely excited. The effort of the boys has returned 100% - they really give it their all. They are clearly outpointed in a number of areas but I have every confidence in our FM getting the right recruits to sort out our deficiencies. There is really a fantastic amount of talent in the kids we have persevered with this year - look at the improvement Josh Burke is making, he is going to be a player, same goes for CB, Anton and others. We have not have too great a problem scoring this year, just very leaky at back, it is s work in progress but promising.
