For all the hate Hughes gets, he has been serviceable and played his role for the team.

I think he would of done a better job than Worner on the weekend. Hughes actually defends, and doesn't get often beat 1 on 1 , not just waiting for intercepting marks. Biggest gripe most have against him is his slow decision making rebounding.

I've noticed most of our players are leaner than AFL players used to be? Even close ups of Pearce he is 'skinnier' than I think he used to be. Sebit is supposed to be faster than any other player we have.

SEBIT IN THE GYM THIS MORNING...

If he hasn't, it doesn't seem to have been from lack of trying.

And that last part of your description of him makes it hard to select him at AFL level. Quick decision making is imperative.

The West article that was posted on Hughes. This was the feedback that they gave him to work on. I think it's achievable and honestly it's not as bad as some like to make out.

Also in a lockdown game, which might have been what we should of been playing against the dogs it's not so much an issue. More if we trying to speed up the game

He did his ACL in July last year. That’s the 12 months rehab done. Was prematurely ruled out in the first place (for list spots I guess)

It was probably a way around the AFL’s new rules regarding the number of players that can train during the SPP. Instead of two players we were able to trial four.

Having said that we could’ve got an extra SPP training spot by pretending Sharp was being considered until the deadline whilst secretly promising him the spot from the beginning.

Sebit coming back put a big smile on my face.

Seb has the raw ability to make it, fingers crossed he gets a decent run at it

The value in Kuek is the difficulty in matching up on him. We have a few (Jackson and Frederick come to mind) and they are are weapons. I really hope he comes through for us.

I have always regarded Sturt as being 'skinny' but he's tough

Kuek is 199 cm and 82kg

Amiss is 196 and 83kg

Sturt is 189 cm and 72kg

we just need to put him on a pie diet

I can good as guarantee those weights are BS.

If Amiss was still 83kg he’d barely be marking anything…

I've been on it for 47 years, can highly recommend it!!

Not allowed to publish weights anymore so yeah they aren't correct

This was shortly before his injury last year.

Add a Dare iced coffee to the mix and then you're talking.

Cox to play restricted minutes in the Peel reserves this weekend.

Peel, or Peel Reserves? Peel Reserves seems crazy

 

[yakamoto]

I would guess Peel as probably no one else is likely to be so restricted.

Reserves. 60 minutes

Longmuir said he “can’t wait” to have Brennan Cox back in the team, but confirmed he will play reserves under heavy restrictions against West Perth on Saturday.

Longmuir calls out Dockers for chasing stats in defeat

Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir says his players have been too focused on stuffing their stat sheets and not enough on defensive work-rate in a pointed message before their clash with Gold Coast.

is expected to play his first minutes for Peel Thunder’s reserves on Saturday.

“It is really exciting to have Coxy back running out there,” Merriman said.

“We will see him in the reserves and hopefully steeply rise to the AFL ranks.”

 

[s_wd6]

Must be coming from a long way back if it’s reserves. Have we ever had a senior b22 player come back through reserves? Usually straight to restricted league minutes isn’t it
