this game v the hawks will one day be seen as the game that many players found themselves and came of age
sure we lost on the scoreboard but we won the battle and won belief and respect
CHRIS NEWMAN came of age as a captain, this is the that convinced me he is the man for the job, we have not had a captain play for the jumper like that since tony free and the flea. he lead from the front, was hard tough and inspirational. true captains game and its very obvious now he is playing for the jumper , our club/team means alot too me.
TRENT COTCHIN AT THE AGE OF 20 is now elite. his fitness is up and look out competition from here on in.
FOLEY, I admit i forgot what a fit Foiley meant for us
MARTIN , HIS BRUTE strength the break tackles is very michael VOSSish. He belongs
GUS, this game shows he can be our number 1 ruck, just need this every week.
THURSFEILD is now playing with belief and no longer just spoiling but also attacking the ball and taking marks
DELEDIO is our quarter back, and he has rediscovered his ability to run and break the lines
JACKSON, i bag him alot but we need his toughness and he proved that campbell brown is all bark no bite, he showed broen is just a backyard bully
WHITE, his passion to keep going for his team mates and the jumper won me over, taking on campbelll brown late in the game after he polaxed our players and kicking that great goal on him was special
TAMBLING no longer fears getting hurt
Nason and Edwards will be dynamite link men and runners
WEBBERLEY in his 2 games has proven he belongs .
Jack RIEWOLDT played his best game for us today, did the spectacular and also did the 1%ers, some of his marks and goals were very j.brown like.
we are just one ruckmen(still have hope in vickery ) one key defender and one key forward short of being a real competive and real dangerous team
as i have said all along this yr, ladder and scores means nothing this yr, its all about development
we have not played this hard since northey coached us
Hardwiick has a plan and he will lead us ! the time will come mark my words
