Will be scapegoated for this. Replaced by Hutchings.

Got bullied by the bigger bodied bullies mids but tried hard.
Can't be faulted when his far more experienced team mates absolutely shat the bed around him.

Just hoping they don't drop him after one quiet game.
Poor today but blokes a 3 gamer.
No such excuses for the rest of our side.

Have a feeling Hutchings will be back at some stage. Has been very consistent in the WAFL.
Bloke is totally going to get dropped. Simpson will make a STATEMENT at the selection table this week.
Sucks because Edwards 4 touches to me go down easier than Kelly's 14.
At least it looked like he was trying. Had 2 tackles compared to Kelly who had none. Also only played 60% TOG.

2 too many tackles, delist
He legit clocked up the most km's on the ground at high speed, 2.4km's.
Also the highest average speed on the ground, 9.6km's.
And 4th most total km's on the ground with 14.3km's. In 60% gametime.
He definitely got his 'hands' on the ball a bit more than his disposals suggest
Probably could've finished with 10 touches which looks a lot better with his low gametime. Half a dozen times he got possession at a stoppage but despite efforts, couldn't break the tackle to get a disposal away. Understandable for a first year player.
Another time Barrass totally cooks him by missing a 20m pass and kicking it out on the full.

At this stage of his development he's an outside mid/wing.
The more experienced mids were so comprehensively smashed in and around the contest, there were barely any clean looks at the ball.
Unfortunately for him, those who failed to put up any resistance will stay (because experience and credits in the bank etc) and he'll be an easy scapegoat.

It's possible to like a player, believe he has a bright future at the club, wish the best for him, and also admit that he had a stinker yesterday.
If he gets dropped this week - and personally I hope he doesn't - it won't be because he is a "scapegoat", it will be because he is a midfielder who got 5 touches in a game.

Rather they drop some underperforming experienced players.
JD and Gaff have looked disinterested for a while, one or both should be dropped as a wake up call and I don't think the team would notice their absence right now......not in the form they're in.
I'd stick with Edwards who did play a blinder two weeks ago.

As his sponsor the year, I'd like to wish the great man Happy Birthday!
Good for Luke to get a block of games in the senior squad.
Can anyone more knowledgeable about footy explain what role he is playing at the moment?
Is it wing? High Half forward?
Seems to get most of his possessions about 70-90m from goal.
Looks like Match Committee are fans of his even though his numbers are quite low, not a particularly effective kick, not one to do anything flashy.
