David Gourdis [merged]

yep lost his man in traffic a few times but thats to be expected, an Waite is a pretty damaging player. I saw some good signs, should have gotten games earlier. BTW Moore is a hack

Id like us try a Gourdis - Astbury combo long term down back. I think it has major potential.

yep agreed and only one of thursty, Moore and McGuane as the 3rd tall bc they are perpetual flyweights. Reckon Gourdis and Astbury are a good combo of speed, athleticism(Goo) and sublime reading of the play (Astbury).

I think Thursty has better potential than Moore and McGuane.
Thursty is impressive blanket defender in my opinion
McGuane and Moore would have more currency aswell.

I don't think he was on Waite all day though, definitely switched to or from Henderson at some stage. I didn't see him getting beaten in a contest too much, but definitely got caught out with the flood of football coming in his direction, which is also why he got so much of the ball in the first half
Tough day to judge a kpp defender, but I hope he gets to play out the year

Awful game from Kel.

[Judge Roughneck]

Long term I think hardwick will want to build a back 6 that does not depend on deledio, allowing him to play forward or middle.

long term if thats our backline we're screwed

Gourdis did okay - he did lose his man a couple of times. Not an easy day to be a first gamer but he showed some good glimpses I thought. Seems to have a very methodical kicking action - as if he has to think through it as he kicks it.

A lot of passengers out there though.

I thought Gourdis was alright, a few games to settle into the big league pace is all he needs.

Would keep Thursfield and Moore. Would get rid of McGuane. Would hunt for another keep position player in Defence. Would play Gourdis for the rest of the year

Moore can't hit a target 20 metres away under pressure. There are serious problems down back and I'd be ecstatic if both Moore and McGuane were wanted elsewhere.

I thought Goo showed enough signs to at least guarantee him the remaining games of the season

Like Jimmy O he struggled with the speed of the game at times, which is to be expected because the pace of things in the VFL is nowhere near the AFL

[Chuck17]

I suppose since Kosi got five goals Gourdis would be deemed to have played a bad game.

However Kosi got one gift goal from a clanger and some good delivery.

Need to persist with the Goo as he looks more a KPD than our other three.  We will see how he goes on lazy Jay next week.

He shows a bit. I like him.
