With Fyfe, Darcy, Young, Brodie, Narkle, Simpson, Aish, Reidy, Carr, McDonald etc play for Peel they would almost have a crack at beating Fremantle.

Who are you guys talking about?

This is Hayden Young we are talking about

So is he that's gonna play for Peel or are you talking about someone else?

You only run him through wafl if he needs touch but this is Hayden Young we are talking about

Oh right.

 

[A Mantle Full]

We are definitely going to win the flag this year.
Back to back Peel Thunder!

I guess JL isn't coaching Peel...

The WAFL needs bigger restrictions on Peel

Make them only field players in the reserves because it's unfair.

I wonder if west coast won it if the public would complain

Youngs coming off a hammy, it's not an ACL

If he is fine to play wafl then he is fine to play AFL

He is prone to hammies. This latest hammy is a re-injury. The more he reinjures them the shorter his career is and he’s on an eight-year contract. Just ease him back into it.

Yep i don't know the rush

He's one of our best and we need him to play out the season

Then don't play him in the WAFL... Give him the extra week off

No point putting him in the WAFL if he isn't ready

The only people rushing him are the people suggesting he play in the WAFL underdone


If he is right to go then it's straight into the AFL otherwise he doesn't play at all because he isn't right to go

 

[Big Animal]

No rush on Young. Still grimace when I think of Cox's getting shot in the back of the leg last year.

I imagine you can manage the minutes/workload better in WAFL than in the AFL.

Its a hammy, you don't play with a hammy that isn't right

He would only be going there for touch, he doesn't need touch

 

[King Huskii]

I agree

My only issue is his match fitness could struggle . he's done very little high intensity training of late

Young is my most exciting player when he is on possession

His centre clearances that result in him kicking goals areva thing of beauty

 

[MadMundy]

Young should be 100% before he comes back into the team, the same should apply to everyone returning from injury, there's no reason to risk these guys if they aren't ready.

 

[Madas]

If we can't beat WC without risking Young then put the whole club in a cryothermic chamber and only let it out when we have our shit together.

And how will we know when that is ?

 

[King Huskii]

And how will we know when that is ?

I asked God. He didn't answer. So I asked AI and it said 2057.

 

[Quay Club]

I asked it too but it told me 42?

 

[FreoRicci]

Darcy will have to play for Peel, surely.
Him and Reidy in WAFL. That’ll be funny

 

[Taylor]

Playing Darcy at Fremantle with resting as the deepest forward might actually stretch us out with the deep mark staying in the forward fifty. Opposition will probably leave him by himself when the ball is up the other end, choosing to out number us up there. Darcy can sit in the midfield when any set shots at our goal are happening.

Big defensive pressure liability, but not much difference to now. Biggest issue is which tall forward comes out so Darcy can enter the team

 

[G Mus]

Its a hammy, you don't play with a hammy that isn't right

He would only be going there for touch, he doesn't need touch

Not really, match fitness without overloading him

Even if it’s 100%, the risk of injury is heightened with fatigue, you can manage fatigue levels and relative load on the hamstring with a graduated return

 

[fleur]

Then don't play him in the WAFL... Give him the extra week off

No point putting him in the WAFL if he isn't ready

When he’s ready, he’ll need a wafl run to get up to speed fitness wise, touch wise, and stress load wise

I guess JL isn't coaching Peel...

He might be soon...

 

[Wizard]

He might be soon...

I suspect his employment agreement has a line that says something about "other tasks as directed by your line manager" as well as something about "redeployment".

Could well be a very well-paid janitor by seasons end.

 

[GingerDocker]

And how will we know when that is ?

Probably after my...
