Still reckon Taylor isn't that far away.

He was excellent.

Would’ve had at least 25 touches and half a dozen clearances to my eye and looked really smooth and confident out there. Stayed in the game too which has been an issue for him, that improved fitness base would be helping no doubt but also I think he was concentrating more.

Ahead of Berry as your next inside mid to come in?

Curtin is Mcasey. Mcasey is Curtin.



I’m being silly.




But I’m also a little concerned due to my Mcasey ptsd.

He didn’t really get beaten one on one, was just caught trailing on the lead a few times.

Had a good last quarter and i thought he moved better today. His follow up work was good, when he had one touch he often had another straight after.

Still don’t think he’s the most natural defender, he’s a midfielder to my eye and I would like to see him get some time in there on occasion if he’s not finding the pill down back.

Where do you play him? Floating third tall or just man up and don't give him the proper big boys?

Not until he becomes stronger in the contest, he’s still very slight and gets pushed around a bit.

He’s a natural footballer though. Lovely mover, super clean and a great distributor particularly by hand.

As a loose defender I think skittle, he’s such a lovely kick of the ball and is calm with his decision making.

I do see what they’re trying to do however, he is learning skills that will be important in the long run. But to me we need to feed him the ball as much as possible ala Stewart at the cats, at the moment he’s playing quite deep and I don’t think that suits him all that much.

It seems the natural fit at this stage, just worried where that leaves Worrell as I thought he was going to excel in that role this year.

I don't think it'll preclude Worrell from still being attacking when he gets his opportunities. That feels like his natural style, so I don't think you can completely eliminate that from his game.

True and given Curtin's ceiling we don't want to impede his optimal development.

Edwards got better and better as game wore on.

This comment seems to be consistently applied to Edwards ....his 2nd half season at U18's .....and this year

I like hard workers, that don't expect success to be given to them

 

[1990crow]

Not on Berry's 1st quarter today.

Not comparing to Berry

Curtin is Mcasey. Mcasey is Curtin.

Trading down to 6 to get McAsey completely different to trading up to 8 to get Curtin...

Maybe Taylor should’ve played in the A team!

In place of who?

should play him on the wing i think bigman, then later on centre square

defence is a decent grounding for him, but agree he's not a natural defender

You'd assume Sholl's wing spot will open up, assuming he has one and isn't sub. Other than that, hard to see him displacing anyone. Doubt Hinge's poor form continues and we look pretty settled across the park.

Love the look of both Bond and Taylor

You might be able to claim the first positive comment from this board since Bond first trial game last year!!

Run Down Tackles​

Run Down Tackles will be added to the MRP’s guidelines in terms of reportable offences, if they are deemed to be dangerous in nature where the player has been driven into the ground with excessive force.

So...when get you tackled, you now throw yourself forwards and try to hit the ground flat with your chest. Instant free kick and possible report.

Do they ever think these things through?

So will this game be televised anywhere?

 

[Crowman32]

Horrible stream. Have they ever heard of zooming in.

 

[Crowman32]

Sanfl now stream is garbage. You can barely tell who the players are because they don't zoom in on the stream.
