Struggling to get it forward. Dogs are getting first hands to the footy more than us and even when we do, the Dogs are playing a loose man in defence (we aren't so we should have a spare man at the stoppage but it isn't helping).

21 - 38

Darou going ok.

Brilliant gather and run down the wing by McDonough sets up a goal for Wall.

Dogs respond immediately so still 35 pts down.

41 down at half time, I am not sure how this score line adds to the development of our players??

it depends how  you see development. for me if the reserves can produce 2 or 3 players a year for senior action and those players can come through then for me  the reserves will be a total success if they win every game and become premiers but dont produce any players then for me that would be a total failure. Its how you set the criteria for development. just my opinion.

Bests (according to Az Edwards):

Miles is doing well.
Looking more from Foley.
Helbig crashing in hard.
Elton standing tall as our only dominate tall.
Need more from others. Backs and outside mids need to spread more with the ball as we are going too laterally.

Edit:  McDonough finding a lot of the ball according to RFC VFL twitter.

Agree Ramps, not sure why people are so hung up on the reserves results especially this early on? Coaches will want certain players playing and developing a particular role that will suit the senior team should they get the call up - which wont always suit or serve the reserves with the best chance of getting the result.

When young players are dropped from the seniors to reserves they are given a list of things to work on, - at Coburg with the limited numbers it wasn't always possible for our players to play the specific role our coaches wanted - now they can and that's more important than results for mine

Miles should be in the ones. He seems to be a very good young player.

We'll be a much better side with both Miles and Arnott in the side imo
