Why didnt i get on Dow for rising star @34 a month ago this kid will be a star

 

[TooBlue14]

Some of the comments on a pre pre season training drill in mid feb are amazing. IT MEANS NOTHING

But can they hit a target.

 

[GiantSkwid]

* also out in straight sets. Good.

Couldn't get the baby to bed in time waahhhhh but thanks for the tag

You'd think HBF would be capable of putting himself to bed by now.

 

[Robert Heatley]

The only conclusion you can draw from tonight is that Hawthorn and St Kilda leap to flag favouritism having got over the Bombers.

 

[raymagoo]

Phew at least we now know that Kerridge will never play for our seniors again.

Rubbish will play a heap

 

[DJMacca]

No injuries is the best result...experience for some 2nd...and glad were finished with this bullshit concept and can concentrate on real football!

 

[La Dispute]

To think Paddy's predominantly an inside mid too...

He's going to be lethal if we use him on a wing/flank

If I had a dollar for every time someone made this joke I'd have like 14 bucks

He's the complete package, which is why dynamite inside mids are so difficult to find.

Not many in the competition that are inside beasts but also electrifyingly quick.

Guys like Dangerfield and Judd play similarly.

Marchbank's kicking has been ordinary.

Glad I wasnt the only one to notice. He shanked about 75% of his kicks.

 

[Mondyboy]

Didn’t watch all of it because, frankly watching Australia mow down New Zealand in a record run chase was infinitely more entertaining but what I saw of Dow made me tingle in the right place. Looks like he’s been playing for 10 years.

Lebois also looked the goods compared to last year.

I thought it was quite clever , hence i gave msr a like for his post.

Not only that, he keeps his feet and always steps in the right to direction to evade. And he's good overhead.

Some of his manoeuvring tonight almost reminded me of Gibbs.

 

[Mondyboy]

Didn’t mind Lochie either. Very happy to hear that the Fish was slick. Wouldn’t worry about Marchy’s kicking. He’s not a great kick and he needs to improve but this wasn’t the game for him.

Meh
Marchbank did ok in game 1 and looked a bit gassed by the end of game 2

 

[Aphrodite]

Yep, think his future as an AFLX player looks limited at best.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Dow is a ball magnet and high-impact per possesion player.

Hand him the NRS now.

I didn't watch the game but I have seen enough comments on here & Twitter.

Can't wait to see him in the real season.

People seem to forget marchy has only played 23 afl games

I've got him 2nd, some obscure * rookie will win.

Average to watch as a supporter. Product needs tinkering to survive. Not horrible, not great - just bog average.

Observations; the format really showed up the attribute of 'decision making'. Silvagni did mostly the right things all the time while on ground. Macreadie while competitive and tried hard non stop, continually made decision errors. Same with a smaller sample size did Cam O'Shea. Polson struggled as well overall. All did good things as well but poor decisions means a net loss for the side.

Fisher got better as the game went on and was good. Dow good.

Agree with previous poster about Carlton trying to get 10 points on the 40 metre line 3-4 times when the better decision was to keep moving fwd and take the 6. Part of the poor decision making that lost us the games. 10 points is great but 1 point + giving the ball to the opposition on restart is a killer.

Kennedy lost a bit effectiveness in this format as inside mids not required.

Nothing much to take out of it really except Fisher and Silvagni showed good decision making and the rest struggled.

 

[ForYouBlue]

Marchy is fine not his format and tbh I thought mcreadie was just as off. Looks like we played zone which was pretty funny to me until 10,000th hole was lead into by the other team.
