One game?On WAFL form? Yes.
How the hell do you think Trews skills are deplorable?I don’t have a major problem with the ins or outs, that wasn’t the point of my post.
Wouldn’t mind Chesser playing over LEdwards but, provided he is playing inside mid now that WAFL has resumed off the bye, I can rationalise it.
JJ, Witho out is correct. Petch on a short leash after a terribly quiet game is nice.
I don’t think Trew makes it because his skills are deplorable but nobody can fault his effort so…sure he stays. I’d drop him now and pump games into a Hall or Rawlinson or Johnston but is what it is.
Would probably go a Dewar over Darling or similar change, give us a smaller forward line, but generally our list is currently constructed in a way that several pegs that a square for one reason or another (too old, low ceiling, going to be delisted, played out of position) will find their way into round holes.
Just find it funny that sacking the coach didn’t change the old boys getting a game when I’ve been assured for years it’s solely because Simpson backs them in no matter what. Then the new coach comes in and immediately does the same. Shows where our list depth is at.
People on here have a random hatred of trew not really based on anything.How the hell do you think Trews skills are deplorable?
Please share your wisdom.
One game?
Unless we absolutely dominate in the middle, we will get smashed. Horrible forwardline bringing Darling back with so many slow, low pressure forwards already in there.
Schoey wasnt the best choice in the coaches box I reckon. He has a reputation to build/look after. We needed someone who just played the kids and didnt care about his record.
Listening to him on 6pr this evening, he's surprisingly bringing in Darling and dropping Petch and JJ for that exact reason - pressure. Reckons Darling had been competing and providing pressure prior to him going out, and Petch/JJ didn't provide enough last week.Unless we absolutely dominate in the middle, we will get smashed. Horrible forwardline bringing Darling back with so many slow, low pressure forwards already in there.

Witherden out was a no brainer he's been so poor it not funny.
Yeo, waterman and McGovern in are a given.
For the life of me I don't get the darling selection. What has he done to deserve a call up?
Land of the giants forward line again and Freo are just going to run it out of our forward line with ease.
Maybe he doesnt see it that way but i do. He probably thinks its safer naming Darling than adding Dewar for eg.So he's named a slow, low pressure forward line to ... Build/look after his reputation?
**** me.
You said his WAFL form warranted selection.
Only other option would've been Archer Reid, who would've made us way taller and probably doesn't apply as much forward pressure as Darling does.
That or leave Petch in as a defensive forward.
We're rather bereft of options right now. If Long wasn't injured, things would be far more balanced.
Cos we were shit last week.
I’m pretty sure on the limited game time he’s had this year, he’s running at just over 81% disposal efficiency. As an inside mid under immediate pressure I would have thought that was pretty bloody good.People on here have a random hatred of trew not really based on anything.
YepSumich is going to be a fun listen tomorrow

Come.on mate he doesn't look like reid when he plays...I’m pretty sure on the limited game time he’s had this year, he’s running at just over 81% disposal efficiency. As an inside mid under immediate pressure I would have thought that was pretty bloody good.
I mean, probably not?You said his WAFL form warranted selection.
If pressure is the only reason he’s in, then surely Rawlinson, Dewar or Petch could apply just as much pressure if instructed.
We only have one forward that contest physical lyand that's slow walking JD. Tragic but trueSo he's named a slow, low pressure forward line to ... Build/look after his reputation?
**** me.
not that tall and one is a resting ruckmanAllen, Waterman, Darling, JWilliams holy **** that's a tall forward line
I suspect his stats show that largely because he’s being beaten to the ball by defenders and he’s having to try and constantly win it back. At least he tries to win it back.I mean, probably not?
Statistically, Darling's one of the best in the AFL at forward pressure. It's the rest of his game that currently blows.
I'm not saying he'd be my preference as an in(would prefer Dewar), but after having a might zero tackles inside 50 last week, I can see why the MC would rationalise bringing him back in.
