If we get someone on the list to replace SOS, I wouldn't bother looking for a 3rd tall forward. It's hardly a high priority position for us. I suspect the coach prefers De Koning or one of our mobile medium's in that role anyway. Just get someone young and talented.
He's the type we need. And the family connection should make it easy to settle in quickly. His genuine flexibility to play both midfield and forward strengthens our list.
He'll be behind Martin and probably Cuningham. But with his flexibility to play midfield or forward, I suspect he'll get...
Only seen him play once, but reminded me of a key position Cameron Zurhaar. I don't think I've ever seen a junior key position player play with so much aggression. Harley Reid will be amazing. I think this dude could well be generational.
Perhaps the fact that Young has only played 43 games, and Kemp and Boyd 9 games, might have something to do with a lack of defensive cohesion. No doubt we're missing Newman who's been our best defender this year and Docherty who's hardly played there.
Besides, the backline hasn't been the...
Mirkov seems to have one position he wants to tap out to, namely out the back and into the corridor. Not sure that's a great idea when you're kicking against a 5 goal breeze.
Binns probably the most encouraging.
Lowlights from that quarter were TDK winning a ruck contest and then kicking it 50 metres backwards to the goal square, leading to a goal. Crocker missing a goal on the rebound from about 10 metres out in space. And did I mention the umpiring?
Absolutely awful umpiring. Every time the ball got next to the opposition forward 50, the umpires contrived to give them a free and a shot at goal. Obviously it hasn't trickled down yet to this level, that players dropping to their knees should preclude them getting a 'too high' free.
The conditions are so far from AFL venue conditions, not sure you really learn much from a game like this. Almost as bad as the Preston mud heap where our VFL team used to play.
I wouldn't mind seeing Honey get a chance at full forward when the big boys aren't making it work. He's got real pace and can mark on the lead. Pretty good set shot.
