We’ve had years of Sheed showing what he can’t do. We don’t need another season of it.

agree.Really expected Culley back. Disappointing.
I mean Simpsons response that he has only played one full game in the midfield is probably fair enough. They probably don't think Culley offers much flexibility to play as a sub.I'm not usually one to whine about team selection but this is beyond ridiculous. How can Culley not even make the bench as the sub? Really doesn't incentivise players to put in the hard yards in the WAFL side.
Talk about a career that has stalled/gone backwards.Culley has only played one good WAFL game in the midfield so he doesn’t get a spot which I guess makes sense - Sheed providing pointing, standing the mark, and offering himself as the super short 10m away option simply can’t be displaced from the team.
Thought we were past this? Sheed offers absolutely nothing.

That may be true but trew has also just got over concussion that caused him to miss the last 2 weeks. He is probably not ready to play this weekNormally don't find it too hard to understand a selection, but last week Sheed statistically put in one of the worst performances of any player for any team this season with a -2 champion data ratings points:
View attachment 1991497
To put that in context, that is the worst rating for any player for the entire round. Only 12 players out of every game played last round rated less than 0, and the only other two who were less than -1 (Pat Voss and Nick Larkey) were both key forwards in teams that got flogged.
The only reason I can think to retain him is that they liked what they saw AFTER half time, OR they'd replace him if they thought there was anyone who could come in. Clearly they don't think Culley is ready, who knows if Hall's wrist-brace meant he was unavailable, and Jonston is on managed minutes (only played 55% game time last week despite being subbed in early and being down on the bench in the second half). That leaves it to be Sheed vs Trew...and I think we all know Trew's papers are stamped...so he stays until Yeo is back, I guess...
He's actually got a long term foot stress/fracture thing that he has to manage (a bit like Hewett) so apart from being a Sheed in decline, he probably needs to build confidence in that dept, not that he'll ever get up to current AFL speed I imagine?Talk about a career that has stalled/gone backwards.
First few years never looked like setting the world on fire but looked like becoming a solid supporting mid. Good second/third tier support but easily best 22. Even in a strong team.
Now, I wouldn't call him slow, that's being unkind to genuinely slow players. He's more glacial, witches hatty, motionless.
Not sure whether he's just gotten slower? totally lost confidence? had the game pass him by?
But he needs to find his mojo or admit his time has come and gone.
Looks like me after eating a ghost pepper last weekBoard when the club brings Waterman back from injury 'too early'
Board when the club doesn't rush Culley back from an ACL injury
Same as coupla others!
Kelly, Reid, Ginbey our main midfielders... then Sheed, Chesser, Hunt and Ledwards?Astounding team selections.
Last 4 mentioned currently not afl standardKelly, Reid, Ginbey our main midfielders... then Sheed, Chesser, Hunt and Ledwards?
Not awe-inspiring, but let's see what they can do after last week?
4th vs. 16th at home Sunday night, not expecting a win, but a solid contested effort, not a blow out would be a good thang!
Eyes on Harley, Ginbey, Jake, Big Jack, Ryan, Dewar, Hough and JJ...
The often maligned TK shoulders the load yet again..
Are you off your meds? Hough????Last 4 mentioned currently not afl standard
Even if he was talking about the group with Chesser(duh), that group still has Hunt in there...Are you off your meds? Hough????
