It will be good to know if Rance, Morton and Hughes went ok and what there performance was like this afternoon.

From WP:

Rance ok. First half struggled. Ok in 2nd half.

Morton - conversion let him down.

Hughes - played fwd and back. Not his best game but kept working

[Mr Magic]

Collins good.
Connors ok. Off the boil a bit

Thanks to WP 

Ta OE & WP.

Does anybody know how young Rhett Jordon did in the reserves (no 50 I think)

Shame the radio coverage died in the second half when Coburg finally kicked into gear. 15.7 to 5.8 is a thumping. Burgers only % outside the top 4.

Polak was goalless to half-time so he kicked those 4 goals in the second half. Looks like he finally held his nerve and decided to take the responsibility to go for goal instead of passing it off which is what he did in the first half and has done in recent weeks.

Tivs kicked another 3. Another 30+ possession game to show he is too good for this level but not up to AFL either based on his career.

Jordan kicked 3 goals and wears #64.

Is Connors worthy of promotion?

Doesnt sound like it.

Will save Jake King imo. No other back pocket pressuring his position.

[WilliamPowell]

I thought Dean Polo was very good today off the HBF - got high praise at the after match

Ditto Polak - I think the said he took 14 or 15 marks

Shelton given BOG - but of the Burger boys I was super impressed with Nick Carnell

[tigersalive]

I forgot about polo. 

He would be putting pressure on King by the sounds of it.

For those that went yesterday how was Polo's disposal? It sounded average in the first half going by the radio commentary.

No preseason means the year as far as playing (regular) seniors is a write-off (not the superclass of a Cotchin obviously). I can only see him playing seniors this year late in the season and only if we're out of finals contention and giving everyone a game or we suddenly cop a heap of injuries. He needs to focus more on doing the basics well. We know he can do the freakish stuff.

I rate Connors quite highly. He does not lack class what so ever.

Number 64 actually 

Rhett did well yesterday in the time he was on the ground. Took some nice marks and kicked well for goal.

Collard played most of the game on the wing and was ok, still developing in the role but he needs to improve his workrate to make it.

Dave Gourdis was ok but the ball didnt go down back a great deal, especially in the second half.

Putty was ok while Meyer hit the packs hard and gave plenty of drive playing off half back and pushing up into the midfield also.

The seniors game was very scrappy especially in the first half.

Polak presented well all day and had about 15 marks. Morton wont be promoted on his performance.

I would think Polo would be the one who may step up into the seniors if a spot opened up.

Conners did something to his shoulder and am not sure how he will pull up.

There is no VFL this week so it will give him time to recover for the game against Werribee.

Nice young man young Rhett (and yes he was named after Rhett Butler)

I hope he makes it.

Thanks for the info, do you know approx how long he was on the field?

 

'65
