10-12 players rested and out there with kids and Elton playing as a key back.
Dogs had virtually a full team.
Thought we defended well and Vlaustin was great. Other than 2 OOTF in the last quarter.
Our kicking out of defence was terrible at times but anyway.
Thought the hitout was good kids overall were great and we got more of it out than they did.
Good to see 4 umpires still can't get the job done properly with a blindsided umpire awarding a mark t Stringer he clearly dropped right in front of the boundary umpire to get the Dogs back in the game.
If they can't put us away with a team of kids they will struggle.
More for us to take home.
Hopefully some later round picks will
Already like Castagna and Butler from the newbies.
Thought Elton was good too.
Miles was good in the middle.
Knights looked good and sharp.
Batch looked ok in patches too.
Liked McKenzie in patches too.
Now for the bad ones and they will sound like a broken record but I thought
Grimes made a few blues,
Why why why Ty? Undisciplined and uninterested.That 3rd quarter free was from someone IMHO who still hasn't got his head right.
Overall liked what I saw. Hopefully we can get some later picks to step up and fill a few holes in our list.
Agree with most of that Don
I actually though Batchelor was very good considering he was playing on the 2nd KPP forward most of the time.
Out of the new kids I was really impressed with Jayden Short, showed more ticker than the last Jayden we had (sorry couldn't resist
). But seriously, just thought his intensity was really good for a newbie. Also liked Castagna, not much of him but not scared to go in and get the thing and for his first game showed reasonable skills.
Lambert has to be the one most likely to elevated. He just looks a ready made solid bodied inside mid. Certainly when he started in the middle he got his hands on it and worked in getting us the clearance. Plays a lot like Miles. Kudos to Arnot, though he played well with the limited opportunities he got to settle into a single position
Agree with a couple of other about McBean, he is still along way of senior footy. He is slow in reacting, and slow in decision making. Has obvious talent but really needs to bulk up and get some intensity into his game
As for Tyrone, well he was simply Ty, seems to be a case of what we see is what we get. I just don't expect anything more him now.
Couple of other disappointments to me were Gordon and Lloyd. Gordon just looked clueless at times and Lloyd.... well dare I say it he just didn't appear fit
