Cant see players like Headland and Schammer having much of a future at the club, they've been passed by.
They already dropped Pearce and Van Berlo back to the rookie list for Thornton and Ruffles. Ruffles has lots of potential and is young but Thornton is a hack. It's a pity because Pearce and Van Berlo were doing really well but thems the rules I guess. What frustrated me was some of your supporters that didn't understand that it wasn't the choice of the match commitee to do that, it was a matter of having to.
Who do you reckon they'll drop back when Grover comes off the LTI, Andrew Fyfe? He's still pretty raw and skinny. He's been doing very well though considering his size.
Some pretty hard decisions to be made for Freo.
You would have to say Thorton and Bradley are looking at being de-listed at the end of this season.
Another question for you Barto. Is Zac Clarke injured or can't he break his way into the side because Johnson is doing so well as second ruck?
