Round 1 vs West Coast

Stats:

Kicks: 9

Marks: 5
Tackles: 2

I thought Scotty contributed well though it wasn't a stand out game for him. Only the one major blunder that sticks in my mind when somehow the ball bounce stright through him in front of goal to land in the hands of the opposition for a goal.

Still worried about him playing on a key forward and reckon he will struggle against either Dawes or Cloke this week.

Pretty crappy report for this week I must admit. Will make sure I have a closer look this week.

Wasn't his best game...but contributed. I agree with Dawes & Cloke......they'll eat him up and Scotty's record on the big guerilla forwards isn't all that good. His best work is through traffic and shrugging off tackles and he'll need to bring that on Saturday.

[The OBSTacle]

He didn't set the world on fire, but he had a tough gig manning up on Cox, Lynch and Darling all afternoon.

The return of some talls will help him out no end.

Grima will have to return this week won't he? Meaning Scotty should be able to play his natural game.

[NiceCunnington]

I thought he had a good game. Would have been a great game if not for that costly error.

He did so many great things that people just do not acknowledge for some reason.

He was troubled in the air by just about all of his opponents.

Again, this was due to unusual circunstances.

[RooHooDoo]

Does seem to struggle a bit in one on one marking duels and in general appears to prefer the ball to be on the ground.

Grima will definitely be a welcome return this week.
