I prefer to watch the up and coming 19 year old's 17 disposals over the broken down 30 year old's.
Barring 21 injuries striking the club I can see no point to playing Dale Thomas ever again.
Cant argue with that however I think Daisy will be in the team if fit....

I'd like us to rest all of the young guys over the next few weeks. 1 week out and then back in. Dropping them to the VFL only when their form completely deserted them (which I don't think it has for any of them so far).

Sadly I think you might be right.

Daisy is underrated on these forums and I'd prefer he played ahead of someone like Gibbs.
At least daisy looks like he cares.

I don't see what Silvagni would offer the side. Our defense is the least of our worries. Plus, White is better at looking after his mates than Silvagni is and isn't any worse at the rest of it.
I think you can still rest macreadie.
Plowman+Marchbank+Rowe+White....with Weitering as an option is more than enough to fill our backline.

I agree he is underrated by people around here.
Some were asking how Port were able to get so clear on the weekend. Simple answer is our players were either unable or unwilling (or both) to do the hard running to stay with them. Something Daisy excels at.

A.Silvagni (CoS) has more than once worked quite well as a forward for Freo.
Re: 2017 Round 6: Pre game premonitions: Carlton vs Sydney - cookie2 - 04-24-2017
I don't think A. Silvagni is at the club with the serious intention of senior selection, more to help provide a development environment in the VFL, which appears to be Army's main purpose in life also now.

The kids been battered around in a similar manner to Marc Murphy in his early years.I'd be inclined to give him a break. He needs to get his confidence back and niggles are not helping him. He has been quite reactive since he returned from injury last year. In the first few rounds of last year he was much more proactive, taking intercept marks and trusting his judgement a lot more.
If wins aren't important...and they're obviously not despite comments to the contrary... rest them as required.
We'll reap the benefits in 2022 :
As Lods recognized, he has been pounded as much as possible to keep him down. Opponents recognize him as a danger and try to minimize it by pounding a developing body..
In a couple of years it will be Weitering doing the pounding. I will prefer that.

I'd be resting Weitering... and McCreadie.....the former is banged up and struggling.....we need another mature player in the team. Silvagni is more of a general than White down back IMO.
I'd think about playing White down forward if the coach wont play Jones or Jaksch....
