Positives
1. S.O'hAilpin - 6 marks, enthusiastic, courage, handles pressure, mobility.
2. A.Hartlett - composure, courage in the air, nice kicking.
3. L.Blackwell - puts heads over ball, great handballer.
4. M.Murphy - composure, tackle on Ling, looked classy and at home.
5. D.McLaren - tap work looks pretty sound, mobile.
6. Houlihan & Lappin - running well and 25 touches each.
7. Fisher - looked great, marked well and moved superbly
Negatives
1. B.Thornton - doesn't look composed enough for FB, needs to play half-back
2. L.Whitnall - lots of possessions but too loose for a CHB at AFL level.
3. A.Walker - kicking is terrible for a no.2 pick (did run well though).
4. H.Scotland - lacked urgency, bit rusty with skills.
5. A.Deluca - looks lost, can't hold marks, Setanta in front now.
Notes
1. French & McLaren should be a decent ruck combo
2. Walker, Lappin and Houlihan running well
3. Have genuine height adn mobility with Hartlett (196cm) and Setanta (199cm)
4. Need to settle FB, maybe Saddington when fit or retry Livo?
5. Would like to see Thornton and Whitnall play across half-back together.
6. Deluca struggled on Sat night in all aspects, maybe try Bryan?
7. Bentick looks huge out there, puts his head over the pill and is running and linking better
8. Fev, Waite and Simpson should all be better for the run
9. We have some little dynamos in Blackwell, Betts and Murphy who are very busy around the ground. Hopefully they learned plenty and improve.
10. Liked the look of Hartlett. Seems confident and composed down back.
