Nice. Can't wait to see the best/stats.

 

[Longy413]

Yep agree! Henry is as inconsistent as Lovett & Monfries.

You're not serious are you?

 

[High Ryder]

You're not serious are you?

Hmmm Jobe isnt in the best players. It will be interesting to see the ins & outs for next week!

 

[RED AND BLACK SOLDIER]

Rookie Flaherty now please.

Agreed, BTW did Watson play?

 

[Shane Hird]

Anyone give a brief rundown on Jay Neagle's game?

 

[Longy413]

Anyone give a brief rundown on Jay Neagle's game?

Mate, they played at Cranbourne.

Anyone that was there and lives in Melbourne is going to be a while off.
I've heard he was impressive though.

Could he come in as a forward and leave Scotty at CHB if Fletch doesn't play?

 

[windyhill]

Anyone give a brief rundown on Jay Neagle's game?

He kicked two.

Bit harsh on Bradley though isnt it?

I want tov see Neagle play too but Bradley deserves a crack in the forward line before the end of the year.

Probably.

I just have a feeling Sheeds will want to see Neagle in the side before the year is out.

 

[johns is a gun]

does anyone know how johns went?
did he play in the forward the hole game?

David Hille - Had a solid game up against Rix. The ruck contest where pretty even. Hille did well around the ground but i think he could have been pushing himself more at times. Particualary when he needed to fill space down back. He was good on the day without being outstanding.

Jobe Watson - Dissapointing day for Jobe. Had a few turnovers and his defencive pressure was ordinary. Just couldnt get into the game. At times he showed what he could do well with a sizzling low pass to Johns in the third quarter but his good efforts where not frequent. He has to do something with his abilitly to run both ways as too often he was jogging 10 to 15 meters behind the opposition.

Damien Peverill - Had the usual Pev day out. Found plent og the footy but turned it over a few times. Ran pretty hard all day but does kick it to the wings a lot. He was one of the better players but it wasnt what you would call a damaging game. I dont know if he is carrying an injury from the Brisbane game where Brown and Mal crushed him but if he can avoid body contact he will.

Courtney Dempsey - Started off badly with two turnovers in his first two possessions. He was very good after half time. Played mainly in defence and he played pretty tall. Took a few very good contested marks and showed a lot of his run. Gave away a foolish 50 in the last quarter for back chat. He showed plenty of heart at the contest and played well.Would need to back up next week with a similar effort to get a game IMO.

Kepler Bradley- Not as dominant today. Took a few good grabs and kicked a goal but overall he was a bit quieter. Got a lot of low pass's at his bootlaces which didnt help his cause.

Courtney Johns - Started the game well. Was on Brooks and had him pretty much under control. He backed himself coming out of defence but had a couple of turnovers. Injured his left leg (maybe calf) in the second quarter and had to come off. He came on late in the third term up forward and finished off with a couple of goals but was clearly hindered by his injury.

Mark Bolton- Same again from Bolts. Gets involved a lot and played well but the Bolton momnets are there. Gave away three free's for hands in the back. dropped a few marks. Played ok.

Chris Heffernan - Was very good in the first half. Got heaps of the footy and used it pretty well. Was quiet in the thrid but provided some run in the last. Good game. Was our best before half time.

Andrew Lee - Another better game from Lee. Took a few good marks and was ok in defence when he was there. Still needs to do a bit more but is playing better.

Jay Neagle- was pretty quiet in the first half and spent time on the bench. He was on the flank ealry and just didnt get used at all. He did some good things in the second half. Took a few solid grabs kicked a few goals and chased hard.

Danny Chartres- Played ok on Watts. Struggled a bit one on one. Linked up well running from defence and provided a lot of our drive from the back half in the last quarter. Played ok.

Bachar Houli - Started well but his disposal wasnt as sharp as last week. Got a knock to the knee nad had to have it taped up which hindered him a bit. Played well but not as well as previous weeks.

As for the Bendigo players. Cloke played well again but turned a few kicks over. Jolley was good in the middle. Rosa was ok.Atkinson continues to play well. Took a big hanger in the goal square late in the game. gave away a few silly free kicks though. Plummer struggled a bit against the bigger ruckman this week. Flaherty was once again good defencively.

 

[Darealrath]

Thanks Ant. Doesn't sound like we have anyone demanding a spot.

Good news on Dempsey's efforts in contests. I wasn't sure he was capable of that.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Great work Ant. Good news on Dempsey. Who do you think will be in contention for the Tigers game?

 

[bomberdude18 2]

who cares how Houli, Watson etc play they won't be in next week. cheers Sheeds.

I care because I am a Bendigo Bombers fan. And why the hell couldnt they play next week?

 

[SOT4]

I care because I am a Bendigo Bombers fan. And why the hell couldnt they play next week?

I think it was more a crack at Sheeds than you.

Nice report Ant, much appreciated.

 

[adamcf]

I care because I am a Bendigo Bombers fan. And why the hell couldnt they play next week?

Maybe they haven't played enough Bendigo games to qualify for finals.

 

[ant555]

I forgot to mention Rama who only lasted about ten minutes before going off injured Looked like a lower back/hammy problem.
Dyson didnt play.
