[mightytiges]

3/4 time

Rich 8.9-57
Coll 6.7-43

[mightytiges]

Grundy giving the Pies first use since Nank was taken off.

Talk about a soft free to Cox. Ump paid the old defunct rule.

[mightytiges]

Won by a kick.

Rich 11.14-80
Coll 11.8-74

Just got home from work. Can someone give us a summary on how the boys went? Was it a good indication of things to come? Anything that looked alarming?

Thought Chol got better by the minute. Took some marks and used his running/kicking to advantage. Not sold on his centre bounce work but i liked his game.

Well it was the Short show tonight...43 magnificent possessions 
Caddy was brilliant i thought.
Actually it was a solid hit out by all players with no injuries which is the main positive.
Oh and we have plenty of depth

Summary: We were all over them but couldn't convert our inside 50's into scores  Filth nearly stole it at the end after we took Martin, Cotch, Nank, Grimes, & Baker off...Short bought his own footy... of the kids & fringe dwellers -Chol actually took a semi-contested mark and had a good patch after Cox fired him up but was non-compettive in the ruck save one or two contests which included an awesome tap down to Dusty straight after giving away a free & goal to the big seppo....continues to tease,,,...CCJ was passable up forward but didn't ruck that I can remember....RCD pulled off a nice spin move and had a couple of "nearly" moments but got caught ..can stand up in the tackle but can't get quite rid of it yet... still manages to  somehow look very promising yet very unconvincing at the same time...Will Martyn for the one quarter he was on showed he likes it in and under but was barely noticeable otherwise ....Egg again showed he can play and actually showed some composure under pressure albeit  pre-season "pressure"....Aarts his usual mix of good, bad and serviceable.....

[mightytiges]

First half was our current best 22 which included Caddy, Aarts, CCJ. No concerns aside from our goalkicking being ordinary all night.

After half-time started bringing on Chol, RCD then DES & Martyn. Took off Nank, Cotch at HT then Grimes and Dusty at 3/4T.

Went young at the centrebounces with Chol, Graham, RCD & Bolts. Martyn & RCD were swapping. Grundy gave the Pies first use vs Chol. That's why the Pies came back into the game twice. Dimma threw Sheds into the middle to regain some control and then went back to the cubs. 

All up I'd be more concerned if I was a Pies fan.

Balta and Bolton very disappointing. Balta had to be moved off a 2nds player that took him to the cleaners and Bolton tried to do too much and stuffed things up. Chol hasn’t improved at all.

On the positive side Short, Baker, Graham and Grimes dominated.

Balta gifted them 2 goals from silly decisions BUT did some nice things and yet did get beat in 1v1s!

Got to keep playing him.

He was ok tonight.

[WilliamPowell]

CCJ was passable up forward but didn't ruck that I can remember....

CCJ went into the ruck a few times in the 1st half (half a dozen at most)

Up forward just needs to use his size; he should be crashing packs

[Diocletian]

He crashed the pack a couple of times just couldn't take the grabs...

 Still miles ahead of Rance at the same age....
