Nice goal on the run from Stevens. Slightly unusual as his kicks, while accurate, don't have alot of penetration - most likely this will improve as he recovers from OP.

Goal to Lynch after Strijk hit him on the tit with an inside 50.

20 this year
I can't wait til Stevens is ready ...
Lol, as I said last week, how Stevens didnt get a call up over the likes of Mcginnity is unbelievable.
Strijk is also playing a blinder, less possessions equal influence.
Footskills of Strijk would be in the top 5% of your side.

Just looked him up. Turned 20 in January.
I was wondering if he was draft age, and if we'd take him as a f/s. Looks like that was a possibility a couple of years ago.
Yes, you've made your point.

Funny you were quick to dismiss my calls for Smith and Stevens the last few weeks. Hopefully you and other posters are getting the message now.
Would you still prefer Mcginnity in the team over these guys?

This week, the right call was McGinnity over both. McGinnity replaces Butler as the small defender and negating mid.
Stevens isn't that. He would be playing the same role as Ebert, Priddis, A. Selwood et al. It wouldn't work.
Strijk looking good. Needs to play consistently well however.
If you can't see the logic behind making these guys really earn an AFL call-up then I can't help you.

Epic pick up from Strijk results in another goal for West's.
Well take him off your hands.
We've got a few promotion spots available with Jones and Butler out for a while, plus the mid-season upgrade.
If Strijk's not top of the list for one of those possies then he's bloody close.

anyone tell me the score for east freo vs west perth right now? can not find any live scores for wafl online
Its the first WAFL game I've watched in a while and I'm equally impressed with Strijk and Stevens.
I think Stevens is trying to do too much though. Lets see how he goes in the second half cause he may tire a bit. But I agree he should be getting his debut very soon - perhaps in a home game against the Bulldogs.
I didnt realise Strijk can play in the forward line - if so upgrade him NOW we desperately need a couple of good small forwards with footskills.
The only negative about Strijk I can think of is that he looks a bit like Jeff Farmer. But yeah.. his skills are a class above those around him.

Neither Stirjk or Stevens are actually playing in the middle. Stirjk has been the major influence in three West Perth goals and has one for himself.
Strijk's favourite player is Chris Judd and he does a mighty fine interpretation. Tries to burst through packs, shrug tackles and is generally very explosive.

Stevens did not get a touch between the 18-27 minute mark of the 2nd quarter. During this time West Perth kicked something like 3 or 4 straight and regained the lead.

He can play forward and back. But he's best position is in the centre square.
Being played forward because he gets tagged week after week.

Those stats are rubbish. He clearly sent Easts inside 50 late in the second quarter and got one centre clearence during that period.
He's playing forward of centre, Easts fell away and he struggled to get free.

Please tell me which Richmonds small forwards Mcginnity will play on? Stevens could have come in for Selwood( why risk him
). I wanted Smith in this week not Strijk, he could take Butler's position as he can go with small forwards (who?) and actually has some above average attributes unlike Mcginnity. If you can't mount a half decent argument against mine then I can't help you.

thanks mattman
Strijk did a great pickup late in the half just then where he scooped it up and changed direction at the same time, then fired off the handball. A few links later and the result is a goal to WP. Promote him NAOW.
No worries.

Can we leave this sort of debate to the half a dozen or so threads on team selection thanks.
Strijk should be in next week, was close this week.
Pav his footskills would be in the top 5% of Fremantle as well, he is just that good a kick.
Would love him as our small backman, that handles pests like Milne.
