Yes, I too am holding out hope for Switkoski, and North is another I'm hoping will make it.
I don't really understand why Strnadica has not been given a chance. He's progressed greatly this year and his returns at Peel have been superior to Jones, Meek and Apeness, yet he never looks like getting a run. Plus I can't see how he ever will because at the end of the year he needs to moved off the rookie list or be delisted.
Seeing as how we already have an overabundance of big similar type players who are in their first year or just been re-signed, plus looking at drafting Lobb or a key forward, I can't see how he can keep his spot. IMO for this reason he won't be given a game no matter how well he plays. It's obvious they prefer Jones, even though Strnadica has done better at WAFL level
And by the way, I'm not related to the family or know them at all. He may very well not end up being too good, but I just think he's been harshly treated.
