I don't see it either, but I imagine most posters' list of reasons is as follows:
He isn't Aaron Hall
Playing 1 less than having hall would be a great result in itself

So LDU's gone from 'progressing well' with a 3-5 week injury to missing the full five. Brilliant
Where’s this been confirmed

He was good today. Rather a kid turning it over than a veteran. Offers better disposal than Hall and is defensively better at a cost to raw numbers.

I agree here, time to phase out Hall like they have Turner. The only thing to remember though is the patience is then required for Perez (or Goater eventually) as it should be for Phoenix and Bobby Jr when he gets in.

Simply are not the options to cover 2 of them let alone 4 (ignoring spicer because i dont mind playing him and there will be players to cover him when braydon george and bobby H Jr come on),
You could play a 5ft leper and have the same impact as these blokes.

Simpkin comes back so that’s one gone, most likely Corr. Perez could scratch his arse and have Hall’s impact, the same if you brought in Cooper Harvey over Spicer.

As for Ziebell or McDonald why not try someone like Dawson?
 
I’ve got zero confidence in this game.

Bulldogs will give us a thumping.

It’s depressing because I can’t see where our next nourishing win comes from. We are giving our full effort but it’s not afl level.

Its likely West Coast or bust. Surely we get a PP after two spoons and a 2-3 win season...
I'm so sick of losing... And then hearing chat about how it's coming together. Hawks have flown past us.
 
God help us against this mob. Going to this game with very little, if any, confidence about us being competitive.
Excluding games involving West Coast, this is potentially the most one sided matchup between any two teams in the league. We're a flat track dream
 
Not sure what people are seeing in the VFL that makes them want Perez in.

I just don't see it tbh.

It’s not about Perez, it’s just Hall is a complete waste.

If Perez gets the rest of the season we soon see if he has anything to work with. Sure it might be say a 25% chance that he ends up a player but we need to know.

Hall is a 0% chance from here. His best is done, he’s not taking us anywhere, he’s a liability.
 
Who’s going to stop our Perennial Kerridge award winner Bruce?

If the Dogs are serious, Bevo will stop him.

Bruce is going as bad as any of our players right now. Lost at FB, his knee has really done a number on him this late in his career.

Expect Jamarra and Cody to kick painful bags of 5 and 4 on us.
 
In: Simpkin, Greenwood, Perez

Out: Hall, Corr, Spicer/Curtis, Bergman (to sub)

B: McDonald, McKay, Ziebell
HB: Perez, Logue, Sheezel
C: Scott, Phillips, Ford
HF: Thomas, CCJ, Stephenson
F: Zurhaar, Larkey, Curtis/Spicer
Foll: Goldstein, Simpkin, Greenwood
Bench: Tucker, Shiels, Wardlaw, Powell
Sub: Bergman

Curtis/Spicer and Tucker on notice. But don’t need to upset too much balance in the side.

We can’t carry both Curtis and Spicer as they both spend too long being uncompetitive but at the same time I want one getting extended continued run in the side to give it their best chance at “belonging”.
