Saad looked slower than Wilson last week. I think Saad's a bit below his top speed at the moment. The only thing I can think of is a specific run with task...but I'm not sure that defensive role is his forte
Agree, he has become loose in his later years and I don't think he has the endurance for Nas or Sinclair, maybe Higgins? Your man Billy is very unlucky and like Flynn Young and George Hewett their non selection is a mystery. Rumours continue that there is some problem with Hewett..
There's going to be a big problem with Hewett if we keep not selecting him. Making the assumption that Voss won't see out the season it'll be interesting what happens after that with Hewett.
Wilson has one AFL attribute and that's straight line pace
Yes. Plus we are a side that lacks pace, Wilson gets 39 touches and he's quick. Is he in, nup. We are 4pts away from being 0-7, give some blokes a go. We have then slowed ourselves up though playing 2 rucks. Rather the extra runner. Do what we did last year. Pitto ruck with relief from Harry. Harry is a much better player when he gets a run around the ground getting his hands on it.
Some changes are needed - If Pittonet is out with an extended injury (again), I think we need to consider both O'Keeffe and Reidy in the team (especially against TDK and Marshall. They wouldnt carry their bags but they are both a must structurally IMO. - Byrne needs a rest and F Young needs to come in - Ison probably needs a go at the expense of? - George needs to come back in and Cerra needs to play in the VFL (both slow but George is a far better footballer). - I assume McKay will come back in. Out Cerra Byrne L Young Cottrell Evans in Hewett F Young O'Keefe McKay Ison Wont happen, probably will be Out L Young Byrne In McKay F young
After 39 touches Billy wilson my be a shot, and he has so real pace.
If only we had players who could kick....anyone?? Sack voss.
I'm watching us fall in a screaming heaps again. No 3 for time in front yet about to fall to 1-6. Even the game we won the same thing happened. Could have been 0-7. Take away the delusion and have a look. Week in, week out for god knows how long now.
We still play the hard contested game, bashing and crashing, it's all we have, no side does it better. In the modern game though it is alot more about transition and we are no good at it. Hence once we are stuffed side run all over us. There's alot of delusion. Meanwhile, after sitting 3rd for time in front this season we are about to fall to 1-6. FFS, tell me what other reason there is. Don't people have any idea? Seriously!
Have a look, 4pts down not long ago, now 41. F me!
Fremantle have crashed and bashed better than us. Why aren't they tired?
You have any idea. This happens every week to us, even in the game we won. Have a bloody look. Week in, week out. Don't spin any other crap to me. What else could it be. I've been and Ex Phys for years, I know fatigue when I see it.

Our game style can be very taxing. Once we're buggered sides kills us on the outside.
What a load of BS this taxing game plan baloney is. What's taxing is the turnovers which lead to our blokes chasing but all night. We got smashed in contested footy and clearances in the 1st qtr. If we could: - hit more, not saying everyone, but more targets consistently. - take our opportunities in front of goal - stick some tackles, oppo players walk through us so easily.
I watch football. We get blown away late every game in the last qtr. FMD, how do you miss that. What other reason is there. Always spin!
