Naish and Graham are not senior players

What did you expect from Naish had no match fitness in lead up to the game just jump straight up to afl level dreaming huge difference from vfl,training etc.Graham is a senior player with the outs we got out now needs to step up not once every 2 weeks.

[Knighter]

Naish’s issues are nothing to do with match fitness

Graham is a 200 game player in the making. If rather Graham playing than Pickett.

Graham has sooooo many runs on the board for me. His grand final performance in2017 and not to mention him playing with one arm in the prelim against Geelong. I absolutely back him to find form and make an impact. He has earned his yellow sash. Pickett on the other hand had a cruisey day at the office in 2019 and hasn’t shown me he deserves to be in the 22 over the likes of stack, graham etc

5 days too late from having had the GWS game at a neutral ground. Both Sydney clubs now forced to move to Qld.
