Delean with a second. Worth a look in for next week or too early?

He is a good kick but is not laying enough tackles or pressure yet - he is still learning his craft to be honest. One of those goals was from a touchy free kick and the other was a lace out lead. If he was kicking 4-5 goals a week then you could justify it on goal kicking only, but until then he just needs to work on raising his work rate to Longmuir standard (if it were an offensive minded team then maybe they would overlook the work rate).

Having said all of that, there is a really promising package there, I liked a lot of the positioning in the second half ready to crumb the marking contest - still think he will be a small forward answer, but maybe next year.
 
Winder looks a bit bigger than a AFL player to me. Don't like his chances.
Maybe I'm underestimating the gap, but realistically wouldn't basically every MSD pickup be less than AFL fit? Like it'd be bloody impressive if a player either out of the AFL system or who has never been in it has nonetheless kept up AFL standards of fitness.
 
Glimpses of Winder I saw and liked were his evasion. Steps out of trouble easily, does it more than once in a contest, but the downside is after he does all the difficult stuff he had a tendency to then give it up when more traffic comes. It could be that his teammates could help him out. He does some difficult things then doesn't keep his composure. He was SF's leading possession winner with 32.

Given South were smashed he did well. Very happy for no-one to pick him up and he can keep racking 30+ games with a few goals like he has all year.
 
Lots to be very happy with there:
Sturt: very good work rate and pressure and should have kicked 3, got ignored or we were too slow to get to him a few times. Emmett and Walters ahead of him is just being stubborn if not picked this week. Deserves a shot at getting a new contract.
DeLean: Please stop bringing his name up, he is nowhere near ready.
Voss: At the very least, we've picked up fantastic depth. Actually should have kicked more if he took his marks and I love a KPP who loves to piss off the other team (particularly South campaigners).
Simpson: Fantastic pressure and work rate, if he had a bit more size and strength I think k it would be moronic playing Emmett ahead of him. Like Sturt, got missed a few times but plenty more to like here
Brodie: Same as every other week, dominant and a great 1-2 punch with Ras. Offensively a level above WAFL
Ras: Also same as every other week, he'll do this every week at WAFL, just fights hard for everything but still fluffed some easy disposals and I want him going faster
Reidy: Literally a poor man's Meek, needs to do more around the ground but another game where he was above WAFL level
Worner: Very handy back there, pity our backline is so settled and good he's never getting a look in. I'd prefer over Wagner personally but it's marginal
Davies: Frankly, needs to play ahead of Draper, incredible defender and really growing. Dominating week in, week out.
Hughes: Delist
Murphy: a lot to work with but will take time

Nah.

Brodie or Erasmus are ready should Fyfe not get up for a game.

Voss deserves to play, but not sure how to squeeze him in. I'd love to see Sturt in.

It's kinda frustrating that we have in form players at Peel who happen to fill roles not available at AFL level. We have the same vacancy at Peel that we have at Freo.

I'd be swapping Draper and Davies.

To ‘squeeze’ Voss in we could drop Amiss?

I’m not sure why Amiss should be considered an automatic selection.

I know, I know, we would never. But…

Probably would have won yesterday with Voss in Amiss’ place. But that’s no way to fix his yips. He needs to regain it at the top level.

I thought you were a good bloke before you called me a campaigner.
Spot on assessment. I would add that Delean did a lot of work that was not rewarded. Agree he is still a fair bit away from AFL but I liked what I saw.

That about nailed it. Not sure about Worner before Wagner but like you say, quite close.

Ive watched every Peel game this year albeit online. I agree there is definitely someihing to work with Delean. He has some outstanding attributes.

Sometimes dropping back a level is a way to get confidence back.

Jye looks very out of sorts at the moment and maybe a rest would do him good?

Voss brings a physicality that is needed in our team.
 
Voss is a terrific human.
Voss’ opponent seemed like a genuine knobski. Niggling him and trash talking at every opportunity. This was all happening whilst he managed to kick a few goals. In the third whilst the quality of the game went to s*#t, the most interesting part was Voss who decided enough was enough from this annoying plaque and he started rag dolling him and flexing his muscle. It escalated when he missed a tough shot at goal and soon after was shoved over like cow tipping right in front of the umpires.

Gotta love Vossy he then starting hammering back with the trash talking. He is one strong unit and takes no backward step. Just wish he would start trying to take marks with arms out extended. Even if they don’t stick more he does the better he will become. Can’t chest mark like that at AFL level.
