Reville couldn't have done much more. His kicking skills are excellent. Hope Fagan was paying attention. Sharp was decent as well.

 

[Section 5]

Tunstill did work into the game in the second half.

Yes 4 in the 1st half and 13 in the 2nd half.
I think they would have had a quiet word to him at half time to calm dawn and just concentrate on getting the ball.

 

[M Malice]

His breaking of the first contact, accelerating out of the contest and excellent disposal was impressive. Marking also excellent.

Plays smart in traffic, calm and powerful, great vision as well with his disposal, good traits for a mid, I wonder if he played midfield as a junior.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Very impressive performance

Reville, Brain, Morris, Sharp and HSmith excellent again. Not sure I’d say any are banging the door down but have been consistent strong performers so far

Hoping Reville gets Ah Chees spot

 

[Section 5]

Reville just has to play against the Suns.
There is no excuse now not to select the guy and not as sub either.

I am hoping he gets Baileys role

 

[BuntonRules]

Kalin Lane and Henry Smith have been good... surprised by Lane, haven't seen this kind of form before.

Fort not playing has been a bonus. How much has having him impacted their development.

That said, Smith could not have done more to demand a callup.

Lyons got a few touches in the last, was unseen the rest of the day, and was mostly seen 20 metres behind his opponet. Finished.

Joyce a liability. Would rather LLoyd in his role.

Reville's kicking was a highlight. Him and Brain showed they have enough AFL qualities to play now.

All in all, a job well done.

 

[BRAB]

It’ll be hard to ignore the form of Smith, Morris, Reville and Brain. Not all in at once but two should be getting a go pretty soon.

If you keep giving me shit I’m going to post another photo of my child taking a set shot.

IMO Brain has done plenty to deserve a shot, been consistently very good... problem is the plethora of options we have down back.

FWIW I think he has just as much mongrel, intensity and man on man nous as Answerth but his kicking is miles better, albeit Noah does not deserve to be dropped, has been good.

Smith did get dominated in the ruck by Crossley

Where we need speed is through the midfield, especially with Bailey out. If Wilmot was up for it, I would start pushing him through their. Someone Neale, etc, can feed the pill too. Plus he has good length on his kicks.

Wouldn't bring him in to ruck a full game, but for Dizzy as a ruck forward would be a good balance for him I reckon.

Ahead of Morris or Ryan?

Early on, but I thought Smith fought back well. And made a big contribution around the ground.

 

[Nunez]

Ahead of Morris or Ryan?

If we want a pure forward, I'm going Morris. He's a point of difference to our current forwards.

If we want to play Daniher in a traditional forward role, Smith allows us to do so.

Ryan... I'm really not sure where he fits.

Only way Ryan could come in is if Hippy or Joe were out IMO.

Yeah I'm leaning that way too.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Ryan marks the footy like Oscar used to be able to.

Lyons stepped up in the last. Particularly the last 5 minutes with the goal to put us in front and the big mark inside 50 soon after which he passed off.

In saying that overall he wasn’t very impressive and I hope the coaches don’t promote him in place of Ah Chee and justify it based off the final quarter alone.

Reville deserves a shot whilst the likes of Sharp, Brain, Morris and Smith are all pushing their own cases as well.

Brain was outstanding today. Best I’ve seen him play. Next in if we have to replace a small defender. Reville’s kicking skills were elite. They were purposeful, direct and perfectly weighted. He also tackles hard. All the traits Reville displays in the VFL are traits our senior team is lacking.

 

[briztoon]

I think once McKenna is up to speed, we can have McKenna and Wilmot as our attacking defenders, give Zorko a rest coming in to the mid season bye, and give Brain a run as fourth small defender.

Reville should come in for Ah Chee.

If we want to play Daniher in a traditional forward role, Smith allows us to do so.

And this is where I am at. Smith to come in for Dizzy and play as a ruck forward.

 

[buttermuffs]

I demand fresh tall forward blood so that when they kick a goal I can rave about them!!!

‘Morris is gonna be a gun!’

‘How good was that grab by Smith!’
