People speak as though our team being little changed from 2013 as a bad thing. I see it as a rather big plus. Stable, mature teams are contenders come finals. Young, unstable teams are contenders for the bottom 4.
As an aside I thought Pav looked very proppy and sluggish this morning. What do other watchers think?

I don't think neither good nor bad rather a contrast between us and hawthorn from 2013 to now.
Both don't play young player,
hawthorn three flag with greater depth, risk a bit with their form last season with home and away.
Freo - 1 GF , out with double chance , out preliminary final.

Clancee, de Boer and A Pearce the emergencies
TABtouch22.
****. The alliteration does not make that acceptable.
Happy for Silvagni to fill in, I think it's a blessing in disguise given MJ would have been a liability and a half and Alex Pearce isn't exactly in the best condition atm either.

Please no clancee, either de Boer or a.Pearce.
De Boer wasn't depth two years ago, he was firmly entrenched in the best 22.
The rest of your sentence doesn't make sense to me. I am sorry. The expectation is wrong? Rookies will automatically replace experienced players is wrong?
I think the fact that Peel has improved is a good indication that Freo's depth has improved. It's certainly not down to their coach being any better.
The Hawthorn way is for the players to get a wealth of experience in the twos before becoming a regular in the firsts. Yes, there have been exceptions, but for every Cyril there have been half a dozen Michael Tucks or Sicilys. The other thing they have been able to do is recruit elite players to their club. No other team except Sydney has been as successful at this, this year Freo got Bennell, and Geelong got a few players which will make things interesting.

Dogs ruck looking a little thin.
What about speed and mobility though? Stringer really is an awkward match up for all our defenders.

Sydney - got eye on recycle player from other team, academy player , and trade premium free agencies player such as buddy.
Hawthorn- good second team, recruit player that they wanted.
Freo - recruit good young player ,
Whether to risk or not to risk them expose or fasttrack them to afl earlier for this 3 year near misses towards flag with senior star and footsoldiers getting three year older.

Nah, late in the session he was sprinting at top pace on west wing and looked fine.
I didn't notice any hesitancy in the Sims they were doing either.
Same with Spurr. His fitness test was strong.
