I’m guessing it’s to retain some experience and not overload the side with kids. As is, it’s the youngest side we’ve fielded this year
Reid, Chesser, Culley, Hough, Ginbey, Williams and Maric were all under 20 to start the year
Another 7 in the side who were under 24 - Allen, Petruccelle, Edwards, Williams, Hutchinson, Trew and Edwards
So 14 under 24 which is a season high
And only 2 of our 6 over 30 - Kelly and Cripps
Not necessarily agreeing with the decision but I think that’s probably the reasoning for it
Hall, Burgiel, Dewar, Johnston and Reid all have to wait another week at least to get their chance
Ah Elliot. Just gave him the 3 year contract he wanted didn't we?
With Trew, Ginbey, Reid and Kelly there isn't a lot of room for another.
Kelly isn't going out of there you'd think, being the only one with more than 40 games, and the others are just ahead.
I'd prefer Chesser in there if we are picking someone tbh
Sounds like it's a neck issue after that tackle late last week

Bit rough for them with no WAFL, I'd say it'd be a couple of weeks until they get a chance

Yeah with Waterman out they could play Culley up forward seeings Darling isn’t in the side. I think he’s too slow to play in the middle but we haven’t seen a lot of him in that position so it’s worth a try.

So gutted, was really winnable. Now extremely unlikely
Team selection positive - no return of the ‘old timers’, Sheed, Gaff and Darling. With injuries to Waterman and Yeo it would have been easy to slip two of the three back in.
Team selection negative - still got JJ. Could have been a good opportunity to select Dewar or AReid into team.
I think I’m more in the ‘opportunity lost’ classification atm.

How does this represent a swing to youth?
Both will be on the wing i imagine. Culley has to play inside.
People realise Yeo didn't play in our last win don't they?
Honestly would rather see Jack Darling in the side that Rotham in the side. Moan about Witho/Cole but Rotham is much worse than those two.
I expect Culley to play more forward tbh, maybe a fwd/mid split. I dont think he's coming in to do Yeos role.
Chesser can't stay on a wing forever, not like he has been. He was very good in the first half before getting injured last week as an inside player too
It is quite a young team isn't it?

Is Ginbey even playing in the middle these days? Didn't have a single centre bounce attendance last week.

How does it not? Team has the lowest 'games played' average in comparison to every other team.
