Jesus - that is really worrying. That looked like a pretty minor concussion and he has now missed three games. Poor Yeo needs to catch a break.

**** I hope they rest Hurn while I'm holding Dees -57.5
The problem is the new armoire I am waiting on from him. I'll be damned if he pushes it back another week.
Even before the HipE Club Rotham and Waterman were problems. Both of them has at times has shown real glimpses of potential but then neither has then gone on with it and they can't say they haven't had their chances.
If we had a brilliant list or they were older then sure, out the door, but we can't afford to do that to all the players we'd like to (or who might deserve it). And both of them have now had sufficient time at HBF (Rotham) or HFF (Waterman) to show it doesn't seem to be their position.
Rotham 24yrs, 193/86, 38games; and
Waterman 24, 191/92, 59.
They are typical examples of 'modern players' who are a sort of in-between size meaning they can play just about anywhere but KPP.
Don't really know what I'm suggesting but ...
Patrick Cripps 27, 195/95, 145 games. (And Yeo 29, 190/89, 179games; Greg Clark, 25, 193/94, 1game. Mid field bulls?) Now I know PCripps is one of the best but what would happen if we tried them as inside mids?
If not where else?

I'm a big Waterman fan but I don't think he is good enough below his knees to be a viable midfield option. He is also more an endurance athlete than P Cripps who is more dynamic and powerful. Jake's best position is as a marking forward but we don't need him there so he ends up a HFF which he is ok at but he'll never be A grade at.
Apparently he is right from a concussion stand point but Nisbett is making him complete his Jenny Craig protocols so Kane Cornes doesn't say our standards are slipping - club statement on this is pending ...

Listened to that interview and for a split second thought he said 'definitely next tweak'

The guy's played 24 games in three seasons. Would anyone honestly be shocked if he did?

Prime Shuey wasted
Prime Yeo wasted
Our S & C guys pissed our best midfield assets away.
Yeo I can agree with but prime Shuey won a Norm Smith, his body has failed him now that he is 30+ but his prime years were hardly wasted.
The goal kicking version of Shuey was my favourite Shuey.
Used to be able to kick them from everywhere, then just completely stopped having shots and started doing 15m dinky passes to JK/JD with a defender on their hammer.

Looks like Transperth’s social media department is based in Beaconsfield.
I daresay not being able to keep your best players, or even youngsters on the park over the past 3 seasons (which is a fair chunk of their job) might come into consideration.
Remember when Shuey tore his hammy, then they sent him back on and he tore his other hammy? Turned into a long layoff that one. Good times. Take me back. Even Yeo reportedly got very frustrated with the management of his OP, and has funnily enough come back looking like Hamburgler recently. Naitanui is well.... Naitanui. The squad as a whole appears to be well and truly unfit, uncompetitive with the better teams and not able to run out matches properly....
Who else's fault is it? Lewis Jetta's?
I'm expecting a bit more fight from the boys but Gee Venables, it seems unlikely we'll knock off the reigning Premiers by over 200!

We need someone to go in and take a few mids out Tonya Harding style so we can play Florenca again.
