I wouldnt say that these 2 guys were the best 2 players for the day. I was at the game and i rekon jj and myers were the best 2. lloyd was there and by the way he was moving i doubt he'll play next week. Mcveigh was limping pretty badly, will be at least 4 and lonegen was moving pretty freely so maybe 2 weeks for him

If the medicos think that Myers is fit enough and is 100% over his hamstring injury, bring him straight in.

Match report as requested Merv!

Some quick notes.

Bendigo's reserves were never in the hunt, apart from the lead they held at 1/4 time.

Ground was sandy throughout the outfield, whilst the centre wicket area had been watered in the lead-up (source was reserve match goal umpire and also a walk of the ground at half-time of reserves match).

Light breeze blowing across the ground, but, slightly favouring the city end, but, would only be a half of a goal advantage.

Werribee's effort for a team that hadn't won before today was quite good. They generally won more of the one-on-one contests, whilst the likes of Jess Sinclair were responsible for getting the ball up forward.

The comment about Podsiadly is totally incorrect. Johns controlled him until 3/4 time, but, once the move was made by Hickmott to send Johns forward, Podsiadly got on top.

By contrast with what Werribee did, Bendigo's decision making and disposal was on average quite poor. Atkinson was by far the worst. On at least 7 occasions, his served up hospital handballs that were ultimately turned over. Of the other rookies, Dick, as back-up ruckman, lead the way, despite being totally undersized against McKinnon and Goldstein. Bellchambers did well when in the middle.

Chartres got better as the game went on, whilst Magin seemed okay to me.

Of the Essendon listed players:

Johnson's effort was excellent. Showed plenty of leadership and hardness.

Welsh did well in the 3rd term in particular, with a number of clearances..and the most flukey goal of the match (ball was kicked into the goalsquare, came off hands, and Welsh kicked the ball in mid-air).

Myers was consistent over the 4 quarters, but, not fantastic. Williams was okay.

Daniher played at both ends, but, did the shoulder going up for a hitout it seemed.

As mentioned, I thought Johns' game was good. Did a terrific job on Podsiadly and then backed that up with 2 goals in the last.

 

[Schmick]

Thanx for the report Pazza, most appreciated mate

.

I nearly missed this. Has Daniher re-injured his shoulder?

 

[pazza]

Yeah I hadn't noticed it initally, but, he came off holding it.

We used the bench 85 times today. How many is too many?

 

[Merv]

Thanks for the report Paz.

Hopefully Darcy's shoulder is not too bad

Any idea why Neagle didn't play?
