Nason looks like he could become a good footballer. Took some good marks. Trent as the game went on got better. Will be better for the run. Daniel played well in the backline. Jack and Cousins are class acts. For the limited possessions Jack had he was very good. Thomson played an okay game.

Ben Nason

Relton Roberts

Martin

And I thought Jack Reiwoldt's work off the ball was good. Needs to continue to improve he's 2nd & more importantly 3rd efforts but I thought Jack showed improvement

The fact that we ddin't drop our heads until late in the 3rd was a huge bonus for me

I was really impressed with the 1st qtr fightback. Would have been blown away last year after the first 10 minute blues onslaught. Actually first qtr fightback was better than the scoreboard suggested after the mark paid that wasn't to Betts  ;D

Finally qtr was pathetic but there were some positives

It didn't rain so I didn't get wet.
Connors and Relton can kick.
It's that simple Spud

Dan Jackson will have another good year
Ben Nason showed glimpses and really has a go
Dan Conners great to see him getting a go
Our two young guns (Martin and Cotchin) will be better for the game time
Jack has it all we simply need to offer him some support

The downside was that our disposal was very poor again!! (albeit not as bad as last year) :(

We still don't work hard enough when they have the ball ..... and the number of times we stood of the ball carrier and didn't move to tackle still has all the hallmarks of Wallace (coralling the player) .... let's hope we train to run to space finally  :-[

As our home game we get the gate receipts for 72000
No injuries
Ben Nason
The scoreline was better than last year with more kids... so we're improving

Nason - prolific, hard at it, fearless and didn't let them get into his head after he missed his first shot at goal.
Relton - despite being a bit underdone fitness wise, reads the play well and positions well, showed some great turns of speed when he needs and is clean with disposal....something we desperately need..  When he gets fit, he is going to be something else...
Riewoldt - was getting dragged and scragged to the ground by two apes all night but still worked hard and was clever at times.  Once he gets help up there and can free up more, he will be potent.
I thought we looked a bit underdone fitness wise and our pace was off.  Going round the cape doesn't help, and gives me gut ache.
The team NEVER gave up which is what is the biggest positive, they didn't capitulate and fought it out.  I thought we missed a bit of hardness in the middle ...someone like Tucky.
Lots of people name their swords......

Haven't seen a lot of Thompson but I thought he wasn't too bad last night.  Unsure whether he is a long term palyer though for us.

Cotchin and Connors stood up in my book, 4 kids played and we still have 10 more to bring in.

Its going to be a tough journey but whether we like it or not we need to stick fat and put up with the noise until the rebuild shows the good signs we are all praying for.

Positives.

Nason, Martin and Roberts showed a bit. One is a rookie pick, one was pick 71. Good signs that we might get a few handy players from the last draft.

Cotchins mark
