Surely they didn't fly Lycett over to not play him,he needs the game time

[iZander]

Big if true.

Think again GL, unlucky mate, absolute carnage :/

Emac out for 3 with a hammy
Venables will be out for another 2-3 weeks after another set back
Rioli is being held out for another week
Tunners is nearly back as well
Good news with Jake Waterman set to play his first WAFL game along with Tarir Bayok

Changes i would like to see this week.

The obvious one is EMaC goes out with Injury.

Outs: Mckenzie, Cripps, Petrie, Priddis, Mitchell, Wellingham

In: Kennedy, Redden, Partington, Nelson, Schofield, F Watson.

Even Lamb and Murtimer can be looked at for selection. The guys we have aren't going to be good enough to make it to a grand final so lets start developing our future. Then Venables when fit, get him straight in.

[LF]

No way I'd drop Mitchell out of the team

[The_Captain]

All Mitchell did on the weekend was butcher the ball and out everyone else under pressure with stupid handballs or kicks. His days are over. Yes he was once great- now he is a liability.

[RaisyDaisy]

You've lost the plot

[The_Captain]

You guys don't honestly think we have a chance this season with the team that played on the weekend? Smashed by a side who is yet to beat anyone in the top 8, at our own home ground. Time to blood the future.

[The_Captain]

Sam Mitchell   1   12   14   26   6   19    61.5   
Matt Priddis   11   7   12   19   9   10    47.4


That last figure is their disposal efficiency from the game. Priddis and mitchell ranked 1 and 2 for WORST efficiency on ground.

Yes, these guys were champions. No, they are no longer the same players they were.

[RaisyDaisy]

It was one game, take it easy

We're no chance either way this year. Yes lets play Partington but no way I'd drop Mitch and Priddis

[LF]

They won't blood a bunch of kids while we can still make finals

[The_Captain]

Mitchell and priddis can not coexist is the same team. They are the 2 slowest midfielders in the competition, they cant be lined up next to each other.

Yes we can make finals, but theres no point as we will be annihilated first game just like last year.

Simpson is delusional, you only have to browse through many of the social media comments from supporters, and the fan base is hugely in the favour of wanting Simpson gone.

[RaisyDaisy]

Yeah I saw a week or so ago AFL had a list of the fans votes for coaches, and Simmo was 2nd bottom only above Eade

He seems to stick with the same group and doesn't make big changes often which I don't like, but at the same time it's hard to blood a bunch of kids when we are still in the finals hunt

It's not that bad though considering Karpany, Cole etc have been given a shot

I think the reality us supporters need to face is that we're just not a premiership contender, but we're in that awkward middle
