Cerra needs to step the f**k up. I don't care where a player is played, attack the game and be aggressive. There is a passiveness to his game that I think is the reason why he's not played in the middle like Brayshaw is.
I critise Ross for continually picking dumb footballers with poor decision-making and poor skills, especially if they run around aimlessly and don't impact, positioning wise, at important times and gives away crucial free kicks in front of goal. He can learn that in the wafl instead of helping to lose us gamed at the top level. Just my view. They had to put skinny Duman on Darling from what I could see and Nyhuis /Duman would free up Wilson to play his natural role and help us get more run from defence and move the ball quicker. Most times we went forward last. night there was either a congested forward line or no-one. I assume Logue will be first picked , so I can't see where Hughes fits in. Small quick. forwards would destroy him if he had to play man -on- man .Teachers pet? Not sure about that
Players need to develop. He's a late commer to the game but could make it. These young guys won't develop unless played and people criticise Ross for not playing youth
Lobbs poor ruckwork meant Vardy and Hickey where often able to follow-up on the ground.which hurt us a lot. Darcy is at least a capable tap ruckman.Darcy isn’t fit enough to play, albeit probably a good match up for Mummy
Need to probably stay small against a quick and skilful team in GWS
Only change are forced, Fyfe if he gets up but I’m hoping he doesn’t fly this week, hamling for whoever. The big red may get a game!

Pretty much plus Hogan goes mid more.It’s not even that.
Darcy uses his body to break the packs in our favour. There no way Hickey and Vardy are getting clearances from the middle if he’s there.
The difficult is that Lobb has to play forward then we become to tall and slow. Unless Darcy/Lobb rotate off

If Hamling isn't fit I'd bring in Darcy for him and play Hogan at CHB

I'd also drop wilson - he has had a run of bad form going back to jlt plus i think we have 1 too many half backs atm. After watching peel I'd replace him with Sturt and play him forward - i thought he looked comfortable at the level against grown men. Cox has to gather form and wait for an opportunity to present in the forward line - I wouldn't put him in the balk half at the moment. I think Valente will come in pretty quickly after gathering match fitness
Ins: Fyfe, Darcy, Sturt
Outs: Shultz, Hamling, Wilson
There are probably a lot of bad kicks in the side. Guess we have to move out the ones that offer less in other areas, first. Don't like him forward though. Midfield or out.Am I the only one who feels that Brayshaw needs some time down at Peel? Has good effort/intensity, but often seems to butcher the ball when he's in possession. I'd love to see Cerra back in the middle again
I still don't understand why we didn't develop Crozier at HB, Wilson? Nyhius should be considered and Hamling rested.In: Fyfe
Out: Conca
If Hamling is out, not sure who comes in then but Hughes can play taller, just needs to not panic like he did a couple of times last night.
Hughes was awesome on Darling when Hammer came off. Some people for some reason won't acknowledge this
He is good at either. It was his 3rd AFL game and 1st game back since last year. Give him some time to settle in. He's a key piece to a functional forward line imo - but needs time to gel.
Darcy shouldn’t come in. Don’t look at stats alone! He was pretty average today for Peel. His tank isn’t afl ready.
If we’ve got 1 too many half backs, then can we please, for the love of God, release Cerra to the midfield!
