It is a funny thing but if you watch the games, you get more of an idea of how well players played. You can even make a fair and reasonable judgement on two different players from different games.
Stats can be decieving. Just compare Gary Ablett to Charlie Gardner.
So you're saying he trains crap?
Reports I heard from purples was the he was training, dare I say it, the house down
so you think he'll be traded?
I don't remember when so many top picks just came in and killed like some of these boys are doing.
Morton, Kruezer and Palmer are all going to be stars, possibly superstars.
Then you have guys like Masten and Rioli who are also showing big signs.
Exciting year for kids in the AFL. The first 3 have 100% cemented their spots in their side and are performing like top 3 players. Outstanding.

I would have liked to see Hawkins get it, but Palmer is a deserving winner.
Looks like he's slotted right in, and doesn't look out of place in the league.
Well done to the kid.

Maybe we had 22 other players that we're looking alright too. Not that I'm saying I agree with Macca and MJ and the other grandpas being played, I'm just saying the coach has more of an idea than I do..and I suspect more than you do too.
Oh and congratulations to Palmer, looking forward to seeing him back up again on the weekend.
On many things, perhaps. On this issue, no. Hindsight has proven him incorrect.
Yeah Harvey showed his real coaching nous when naming Johnson, Carr and McManus...all of which were a failure that we predicted
yeah..........i actually think harvey showed his nous when freo beat west coast, i do believe that's 2 from 2 in head to head.
Seeing as you are obviously a tactical master you should get on to worsfold and explain in simple terms where he's going wrong.
LOL
My understanding was that the top 7 or so were as good as any year, then there was talent down to about 25, but then very thin below that. So not too surprising that the higher picks are doing well. But anyone who finds a player with a late second rounder or below will have done well (and I'm sure there will be a few like there is every year).
So he's not staying at fremantle?

Chris Mayne was pick 40 last year and he's going all right too so far.
LOL at all the weags trying to discredit Palmer.
Could it have anything to do with:Palmer - pick 7, faultless pre-season, stiff not to get picked Rd 1, 46 disposals from 2 games, Rd 3 Rising Star nominee.
Masten - pick 3, bashes some bloke during the pre-season, gets fined in court, gets an internal suspension from his club and plays all pre-season in the WAFL scratchies, misses Rd 1 selection, plays in the club's 13 goal loss to Adelaide, gets dropped (yeah yeah he was injured that's why he lined up for East Freo).
Sour grapes much?
How about you just show some grace, congratulate the boy, and wait for Masten to come good. Cos no doubt he will. It's early days yet.
Well done Rhys. Looking forward to 250 more quality games for Freo.

Got his hands on the footy but only had 58% efficiency so very lucky to get it IMO. Nathan Brown shut down both Pavlich and Jonathan Brown in the first two rounds, what does the man have to do?
lets not forget giving richo a spanking as he was running into an open goal.

See what he does this week agaist the Fev i suspect, which is rubbish because he should have got it last week. Anyhow Palmer was the right choice for this week. Hawkins and Kreuzer need to perform like they did on the weekend for another 2/3 weeks to earn the RSN, and in some respect im glad the Kreuzer didnt get it because there are others who deserve it more at this stage.
It's just an unfortunate part of footy that defenders rarely if ever get as much credit as midfielders.....................
and? I tipped Freo
The fact he did well against West Coast doesn't mean he doesn't make mistakes so I have no idea where you are going with this...
Plenty of issues I can see with the Eagles, but how are they relevant to this discussion. Every team and coach makes mistakes
How does me praising Palmer get turned into you attacking West Coast? They are not at all relevant to this discussion. Talk about going off on inexplicable tangents.
Everyone's a Robert Walls.
Did Chris Judd play round 1 in his rookie year.
Woosha the bozo I say.
Well done Rhys. Top work.
