OK,

Before I get started, I AM AWARE that we have little to NO depth at FF. I am a tad concerned that neita is not up to it at the moment. He has tried over the past few weeks and shown some glimpses of gold, but overall he has been sluggish and underdone. It isn't so much form that is causing this, a combination of form and niggles are causing the great man to be beaten by lesser opponents.

A week to sit and recover could be the answer. We have NO CHANCE against the eagles next week. Instead of sending him on a plane to the west we could be having him sitting out for ONE week so he can come back stronger.

I am all for it. We will be losing our best forward, but the gamble could be worth it if he comes back the week after closer to 100%.

Any thoughts? Is it feasible?

One poor game and someone calls for his head. Jesus. He needs match fitness, something he aint gonna get by being dropped.

Get a clue.

No, no, no!

Neitz is fine. He was not struggling fitness wise today. He looks out of touch because our forward structure is not allowing him space. A run on a wide open Subiaco is exactly what he needs.

Besides if Neitz doesn't play we expose one of our other forwards to Glass.

neitz had a poor game true.

but so did most of the other forwards.

Davey was good. but mostly played in the midfield. as did Sylvia.

miller was terrible. bate was below average. dunn did nothing at all.

I am sick and tired of stupid, narrow-minded, short-term memory supporters calling for our best players heads after one poor game!!!

This is a absolutely rediculous thread.

It was the same with Miller last week and before he hurt his ankle he was terrific today. It was the same with davey and the last 4 weeks he has averaged 25 disposals, 6 marks and 2.25 goals a game. It was the same with sylvia (one of our best today...came of age) and with Yze (probably been our best player overall this season and imo would be leading our best and fairest (i am so happy with yze's output every week)...

instead of basing things on one poor output, how about a little bit a thought put into the posts before they are written! rediculous thread neitz is our best leader, our captain and best forward!!! honestly this player bagging is getting old

One player who definitely needs a rest is Beamer.

I feel sorry for him as he clearly just cannot run and compete at the level that he is used to.

Season is gone, we might as well give him some time off to recover.

Wow are you serious? I thought Bate played real well! He has been showing some great signs over the last few weeks.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
