OK, it's nice to see some comment coming from the club to explain the selections. Pretty much what a few people have touched on with their various posts over the last few days. So we put our trust in Leon and the team and see how they go. As long as they put in the hard work, inspire and help our large group of younger kids, and are ready to step into the team if called upon then they'll get a thumbs up.

Someone on the Freo board described it as - if your garage is full of ferraris and porsches sometimes you just need a jackaroo ute to duck down the shops with.

Every premiership side has had foot soldiers, guys like Toovey, Spangher. Can recall after we beat the Swans in the QF Chris Judd was on Footy Classified and said our side was like no other he had seen due to in his opinion there was 21 guys that were of AA quality which was a fair wrap. Its just hard to see who makes way and for what reason to giver either of these 2 a game. These type of selections can have a downside if a coaches pet scenario eventuates. It may be a fine line not to rock the boat at this stage, guess it depends on the whole group dynamic and how well they settle in. 3 experienced players in, in one off season is a lot, I cant recall it happening too many times to a top 4 side.
Did he name the poor bloke who missed out?
Lids will play AFL of course. MZ and MDB will be playing NEAFL lest we have a bad run with injuries...touch wood!

Tommo, but he added some other comments about it to justify which i cant exactly remember but something along the lines of Patfull was never AA but he did play International rules and win a Lions B&F. He was complimentary of Adam as a player and rated his performance that week.
Aahhh, the guy who finished the season, statistically, the best one-on-one defender in the league. Interesting choice to leave out. But you know what they say about opinions and a certain part of the anatomy....

Well, two weeks later and it would have been an easier choice ...

To be fair in our best 22 the only 'weak link' I can see is CHB. Tommo found a rich vein of form but until he backs that up next season then he will always be viewed as the 'hole' in our team.
That being said we have easily the best bench I've ever seen

Hi guys
Not big noting but
For my generation that was Nixon, and similar things were said. Although to be fair not really until he had been pres for some time.There's nothing new under the sun.

So unfair that we get access to players from Melbourne, THE footy heartland, as part of our academy. Hopefully the fact that Steele's returned there takes some heat off their desire to shut the Academy down.
