I think Ahern is just well behind in match fitness, he seemed to be getting a fair amount of work on his legs every time he came off. I suspect we won't see him in the early rounds.
I love the way Zurharr goes about it, really attacks the contest with a manic intensity that we don't have enough of. Fair enough his kicking needs work but I think what he brings to the table earns him a spot in the 22.
Will Walker looked good, he covered a lot of ground and really got involved. I think he will be good.
I think Hibberd was pretty good but a lot of one on one contests he would just get out positioned really easily. He was very reliable kicking out from full back.
Maj was pretty good, he spoiled a lot of contests and took some good marks. His speed was good which allowed him to run and goal. When the ball is on the ground he is out of his depth.
They seemed to expose our backline very easily, in the second half especially they would win a contest kick it forward and have three on one or worse. Thankfully they kicked poorly but I think it would be a disaster against better opposition.
The ground was quite windy blowing to the city end. It seemed to me Williamstown adapted to the conditions better, reading the ball going longer to the city end etc. If we are going to make it a home ground for the VFL and AFLW teams we need to take advantage of this.
