Oops….BIG omission on my part.Mitch Pierce would be in the best 22 for sure.

Steele played all his games last year in the backline, so half forward is not his roll, I'm not sure where his fit will be.

Named on a wing for tomorrow - www.wafl.com.au/team-selection

Yeah GC not many from that nominated “best 22” playing league today so will be interesting to see how it goes.Good to get some insights about the young guys and they will be pitted against a fairly strong EP side so a good test.Winger Salecic did comment on a 91.3 sport interview about Steele’s disposal being elite so maybe midfield- possibly a Conal Lynch type?

Not sure you would call our team all that strong, good maybe but like you trying some players out which from my viewpoint always a good thing!

West Perth going well in their scratchie. Currently a 5 goal lead late-ish in the match. On a warm afternoon such as it is, they are in a good position to come away with a win.

Liked what I saw yesterday, Steele is going to be a great addition, Wooden had a great game as a mid which is handy, could see him starting. Both sides had a number of players out, we had 9 out, some young fellas in defence were good and give us depth. McKenzie is a big unit, did some good things and will improve I have no doubts. Tackling pressure was a highlight. WP won by 2 or 3 goals.

Mel,how did the Royals midfield look yesterday,??it looks pretty thin to me,with really only Brayshaw missing from yesterday’s lineup.

Thanks for the update Whinnen.Sounds like there were some positive signs especially Steele showing his ability.Would love to know where he played position wise and certainly seems a good get.Always interested in the younger guys and blokes like Foley,Sherwood and Dimanlig and a few others hopefully have a good year of progress .Wooden and Sherwood were great in Colts/Reserves last year so maybe league is not beyond them this year.

Sam Swadling I hear is going to be a very good player for WP....only a youngster but very silky.
