I agree about Thornton. I missed his name in earlier comment. He is definitely in the mix for a game.

For Guy, interstate and overseas supporters, this is the West's take on our WAFL players at hhe weekend.

Fremantle teenager Brock O‘Brien showed an encouraging return to form in Peel’s upset win over Perth.

O’Brien played one AFL game last season but battled hamstring injuries.

The tenacious 19-year-old played in WA’s 2006 under-18 side and was a fourth-round selection at No. 42 in the national draft later that year.

Fellow Dockers Paul Duffield and Luke Webster put their hand up for an AFL recall with solid hit-outs.

Duffield was best afield for the Bulldogs, gathering 31 possessions and kicking four goals.

FREMANTLE
Andrew Browne (C): Solid return to league ranks. Had 19 disposals.
Calib Mourish (EF): Lowered his colours to Robert Haddrill.
Luke Webster (EP): Dominant, incisive, dynamic all day.
Brock O’Brien (Peel): Helped turn match in third term.
Marcus Drum (P): Impressive rebounding at half-back.
Paul Duffield (SF): Best on ground with 31 possessions.
Josh Head (SF): Strong effort from half-back with 24 disposals.
Ryan Murphy (SF): Keen tussle with West Coast’s Matt Spangher.
Scott Thornton (SF): Showed his trademark dash out of defence.
Robert Warnock (WP): Fantastic first term and reliable all day.

Thank you gentlemen.

Freo supporters are just so... so... civilised. Mind, when your nearest neighbours look like a guest list from Jerry Springer, it's no great claim. But cheers, lads.

Murphy is not a good match for Freo. He is too much like Tarrant. ie: if he is not getting the ball lace out he has no idea of how to go about getting into the game. Getting the ball lace out in the Freo forward line can be a difficult thing due to poor skill execution in the mid field

and not everyone is as good as Luke McPharlin in knowing when and where to lead.

Just wondering about Calib Mourish, I know people have said he wasn't too good this weekend and he seems a long way off. But he kicked 2 goals against Robbie Haddrill, and he kicked 4 goals last week.

He's obviously improved in the last year, seeing he was playing in the WAFL reserves last year. So, what has his development been like so far?

just think how good it would be to drop Taz, put McPharlin up forward permanently and then have Sir Robert back in his rightful place at full back...surely if he is fit enough for WAFL he would have been fit enough for AFL???

Be interesting to know who does the counting at the worst to have pick 42 in the fourth round.

Cookies been playing well for perth.......Oh thats right his retired.....can we bring him back at least he will get on a bottom of a back and get the ball

I think guys like Drum, Duffield & Warnock who regularly play well in the WAFL need to come in. They are not young rookies anymore, they have been around for a few years and need to get a go.
