Hewett will be 31 at the start of next season.
Ben C  with a couple more pre-seasons and a bit more experience may be able to take on that role.
Finding the ball isn't the issue with Ben.
It's what he does with it at the moment in terms of impact.
I think we might regret it if we cut him too soon.
With players like the Camporeales and Charleson there may be a few in front of them at the moment...but they represent 'young depth'.



anyone who looks the part should be persisted with. 

Talent pool dilutes soon with tassie joining.  Players that can find the footy will be useful. 

We need to be measured with what we do moving forward.

A very polished performance to be honest. Once we took the lead we were never headed, loved it.
Freo are a mighty side and perhaps with Amiss in the side they could have stretched our defence, or not. Watching them live though, they dont like the tough stuff inside and prefer to use the outside and use their speed and skill. We murdered them in the clinches, our contested brand stands up against all comers. We have added the outside game and ball control element now which is extremely pleasing. As commentators  and players are saying, it's a fun game to play and equally fun to watch.
Evans and Ainsworth were mighty today, I'll echo TC's comment about Banger being strong overhead, I said that to a bloke next to me at the footy today. Apart of the opening 15 mins of the game, our mids were on top for the rest of the day. Ive said before and I'll say it again, when my boy Lewis plays, we are a better and well structured side. He cant kick for goal to save himself but he adds much more to the side, the ultimate soldier. I thought our tackling was ferocious and relentless today, our intent was clear,  thats the gold standard.
A fun day at the footy today.
Go Blues.

Anyway, back to the test cricket...another ****ing putrid batting effort which will end Webster's and Marnus' careers.  Lost 4/3 to hand the momentum back to Bangla.  Be nice if someone - anybody- would take the opportunity on offer.
Smith and Green have taken their opportunities. Nobody else has shown anything.
I didn't think Green had it in him, but he's been good with the bat.
Smith ... a pity he couldn't go on with it, but he has, at least, done something. I simply can't find anything positive about the rest.
