News 2024 Preseason Matches & Training Reports

[doggies ftw]

It was a nothing game, given how the squads were selected

What was your view on Coffields role, his JS …. and would he be the main exit guy, with his great kicking

He’s definitely not main exit guy alongside Dale, Richards & JJ. JS will be good though - he looks spot on and exactly what we need. Will intercept and get a bit of ball.

 

[Hamez]

Close watch on Nic Martin’s role in the next game

Taking kick outs

 

[Caztheconquerer]

Martin took the last kick out and didn’t run out of the square

Taking kick outs

yep but needs to run out of the square

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Taking kick outs

Didn't leave the square for the second one.

couldn't watch much of todays match (damn work) but is he possibly the outlet guy from kick-outs - with Dale/Richards linking off him

 

[Caztheconquerer]

Darcy Wilson has started well

 

[Petrify]

Yeah I'm locking Martin in. He's playing that Daicos/Sheezel HBF role well.

 

[Bjchan13]

If you have Watson you might want to rethink that

Why?

 

[vanders]

Why?

He struggled to get involved.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Is Red Man playing? Heppell is so cooked, surely he can't play in the serious stuff? Martin might be a goer.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

A Bit Dusty Higgins in the early lead for the "Naughton" award for acting like you're dying every time you take a mark/get tackled.

Yep redman is playing mate, Heppell surely doesn’t play if bombers have a full list to pick from

Yeah I've just started watching, was having trouble spotting him with less hair.

 

[Sphynx]

The Bombers look like dog dirt.

Darcy Wilson looks great.


Looking like a draft to rival 2022 imo.

 

[Mofra]

Charlie Clarke kicked 5 or 6 goals against the Box Hill Hawks in the second game today. He or McNeill probably take our last forward line spot.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Essendon players can't catch a cold today.

How did Reid look earlier?

Didn’t really notice him much tbh, did a few things but seems like he will be a slow burn

He’s been like that his whole career.

He played for the first half and had 7 or 8 spoils while playing on King. Didn't get his hands on the pill much but you'd expect him to be a lock for us R1. Doubt he scores well though unless it's from cheapies in the backline

Spoils are +3 in SC.......

 

[Petrify]

Spoils are +3 in SC.......

He's an absolute giant so he will be getting a bunch of them... like he spoiled King when King was at full stretch. Reminds me of Harris Andrews as far as build and athleticism.

Parish and Reid were the main highlights for me in an abysmal game. Parish looked to continue his tackling form in the back end of last year, he probably laid 7 or 8 and got 4 HTB frees paid to him.

Martin started well on HBF but as our team fell off so did he

A bloke I worked went to school with Reid.
I think these wookie key backs prob have decent JS but scoring is at snails pace.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Phillips might get a run at the hawks .

How's Martin going .

And Wilson .

Thank you

Yeah I think they're good for the bench but def don't want them on the field

 

[gutsroy]

Have been on fence on Parish, still am.
Tackling was where you wanted it to be, and it's only a scratch match but he seemed to go the odd longer option.
Niggle risk still there, but keep coming back to him.
Martin role seemed good, and he's a classy user.
