[martinson]

Morris looks like an old fashioned forward.

Bit of mongrel about him.

 

[M Malice]

Henry Smith with a well deserved goal.

Our pressure and intensity has been good for most of the game, hope this is a club wide thing and transfers to AFL level.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Has Lane rucked at all today?

 

[Nunez]

Tunstills ball use improved a lot this quarter.

 

[iBeng]

Ripper goal by Tunstill there...

 

[M Malice]

Tunstill what a cracker form outside 50...79-34 Lions late in the 3rd quarter.

 

[Elixuh]

I mean Essendon look shite but a lot of guys looking switched on. Hopefully it’s a sign of where the whole group is at.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Awesome handball by Reville. Would love if he could play wing in the seniors

 

[Nathan Barley]

I think Torrent was an inspired selection. May never be an A grader but fits our list perfectly right now. Very fortunate he was available

 

[Nathan Barley]

Why wasn't Sharp paid the mark?

 

[M Malice]

Shadeau Brain a game high 8 marks, 4-5 have been intercept marks, reads the game very well.

 

[Nunez]

Feels like the coaches have said "we have plenty of roles up for grabs. Show us what you've got."

 

[Nathan Barley]

Surely Payne playing forward is just to get his confidence up. With Dizzy injured I can’t see him not playing against Collingwood

 

[lionshine]

Oh that was good stuff from Torrent. Clever!

 

[Nathan Barley]

Torrent is awesome

 

[martinson]

Well it's not as if we don't have guys who look like they could be up to it if the Seniors continue to cough it up.

Not impressed much by the opposition today though.

 

[lionshine]

If Reville performs like he has today consistently he will put his name in senior calculations as a depth option. Noting he needs to be upgraded to play AFL and Brain may be in line for an upgrade as a like for like Kiddy replacement. Brain has also been good.

Great signs from all of Morris, Lloyd and Torrent for their first games.

Tunstill and Prior have found plenty of it but their disposal hasn’t always been clean. Tunstill’s has improved through the game though.

Fort good in the ruck. Doedee composed and a chance to return against the Pies making it through three quarters. Payne has marked everything(Too strong at this level)

Tunstill will just about be up to it in the Seniors. His tank has improved apart from anything else.

You’d think they have to reward at least one non senior regular.

Tunstill, Prior and Brain all in the mix you’d think although Brain would need to be upgraded.

didn't have to do much but what he did was very composed.

Jack Payne has shown enough to come back in for the Pies.

Is Brandon Ryan injured? He isn't on the injury list.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Tunstill will just about be up to it in the Seniors. His tank has improved apart from anything else.

I think he still makes too many mistakes that will cost us at senior level. Poor positioning, trying to do too much with the footy, dropping speckies while taking out teammates will cost us goals

They're valid points but maybe he'll just focus on doing his job in the Seniors rather than being flat out trying to impress.

Wrapped to hear Lloyd and Morris look like footballers. Even better they have a bit of mongrel. Hope they continue to impress, a 3rd tall spot could open up if Fages wants to go back to that.

Torrent has got a cpl of wraps, that's good. The b cat rookies Reville n Brain impressing also. Happy about that.

Of the listed hopefuls, sounds like Payne held marks and played up and down the ground. Hope he got some touch and some confidence.

Great Doedee got thru. So glad he had a run. And good to hear Prior and Tunstill placed themselves in consideration.

Thanks to all the comments from the game. Great to read some positive comments on our Board.
