Well one of my favourites out of the team - Photo in The West looked like both were pretty unhappy with each other.
He is an awesome intercept mark in a backline that is struggling.

Sos can't get a game,

The changes need to come from the forward line I think.

Has Silvagni ever been on the inner!!He has struggled for games ever since he has been at Fremantle.I don't think he will ever make it.If he can't step up and step into the spot left vacant by McPharlin now, then he never will.

A/man would Marcus Adams be handed if he was at Freo?

My guess is that he would be playing for Peel every week Swan42, just like Sam Collins is.....

I've no doubt Ibbo will return sooner rather than later, I'm just glad the foot soldiers liike Suban are finally making way.

Brady Grey is a star. How the hell he hadn't played more games highlights Ross Lyons unwillingness to give young players a crack. I reckon if we were two and two he'd still be playing for Peel this weekend.

Pretty hard to get a game when you finish first on the ladder last year,and let's be honest he hardly got a touch after half time and his disposal isnt any better than Deboes that's been the knock on him since he was recruited , the guy that really impressed me was Tucker.

Grey should get a game next week on yesterday's effort but he will have to improve his foot skills to be anymore than another foot soldier.

I gotta disagree with you PN on a couple of fronts. I only recall Brady Grey turning the ball over once that was on the end if a great chain of handballs I think he might have started but kicked under pressure but then followed up to make amends. Pretty hard to expect a second gamer to put in an even 4qtr effort.

Good sides are constantly blooding young players, that's called good management and good planning. Once we won 5 on the trot last year that's when management of guys like Pavlich and McPharlin should have kicked in. He didn't do it and the result was we fell flat, it started by just doing enough to get over the line in a couple of games against lesser opposition then got smashed when we came up against Hawthorn in Tassie.

You always need to be blooding young players so when injuries occur you've got some depth to call on. Up until now Ross Lyon has always recycled the hacks. The silver lining of an 0 and 5 start is its clear now a rebuild is the order of the day and early draft picks are a certainty.

Who were you going to replace Pav and Macca with, surely not Taberner lol , the Hawks replaced players that were injured, have a look at the age of their list.

I counter your good management with if we blooded those youngsters we wouldn't of made the top four,we were in the window we aren't now that's why seven players that wouldn't normally play are, and there will be more this week ,Fyfe has refractured his leg, Balla and Johnson under injury cloud.

It's not just last year Pete, I've noticed it over the last few years fair enough we don't have replacements for Pav but you see it in replacements for small to mid size players when you constantly see the likes of Sheridan, Crozier, C. Pearce, de Boer etc recycled. I mean you don't rate those players yourself so what have we got to lose by giving an opportunity to a youngster?

And Taberner, don't get me started on him. Built like Tarzan plays like Jane. Mentally he hasn't got it. Cracks under pressure. Should be on the trade table instead of wishing and hoping he's suddenly going to have a break out game.
