I only saw a little bit of the final quarter as Im stuck in dialysis. Who were our bests and is Miller improving at all?
It was a weird game. Messy for most of it until we broke the game open in the last 20 mins. No one had high possessions and we got most of our goals on outside transition rather than via clearances from our inside mids. Turner had the most possies (22) playing off a half-back flank.
For me Naish was our best as far as being next in line for a senior recall. Clean by foot in a game where most were sloppy.
Eggy, Garth and Beasley (VFL-listed) were all very good in defence and helped keep Port to just 7 goals. Eggy's improvement is quite astonishing. One of our bests today.
Butler took his demotion well and worked very hard including his chasing and tackling. Will be named in our bests. Whether he gets an instant recall will depend on how our small forwards in the seniors go today.
CCJ was decent. We dominated the hitouts with him and Soldo.
English got in our top disposal getters (14). Did a couple of neat things but made a couple of bad blues as well.
RCD played inside mid but didn't get a lot of it as you'd expect from a ballwinner in that position.
Chol is just plain frustrating. If he took contested marks like he did in the last 5 mins all game he would tear games apart. Just doesn't have that footy nous nor shows that physical aggression a big bloke should have all game.
Moore didn't do much aside from those two goals.
Aarts is at his level.
Miller did some nice things across HF. As someone else said perhaps a position for us to persist with him.
