Debutant
Just back from the 'G'. A solid performance from the boys today. In the first quarter the way we were able to switch the play and create run from the backline was immense. We didn't really make the most of this but what a feeling sitting 6 goals up at half time. (and 50 at 3/4 time).
Was a little disappointed we didn't go for the kill in the last quarter, but it seemed that that's what the players were instructed to do. Get through the game, no injuries and prepare for a massive challenge against the Crows.
Changes for this week for mind would be
IN Gibbs, Hartlett
OUT O'Hailpin, Bentick
Hartlett was impressive for the Ants, seemed desperate in his forward line pressure, tackling and would be a better support for Fev at the moment.
O'Hailpin needs some games in the twos. Play in the forward line and get some touch, looks lost at times. Does do some good things but is not really a threat to the opposition. Has all the tools, but probably just needs some time playing forward. He seems a bit re-active just now
Bentick looked slow and had no impact. Hopefully he can break back into the side and is not our equivalent to Woewodin. Great in the twos but no impact in the seniors. Our midfield this year looks very good and getting better every week. For the first time in years our players can afford to run ahead of the packs, confident of winning the stoppage.
On another note, from the Bullants game. Ellard was impressive, his disposal needs work, but he seems to have that ability to burst open the game. Would be worth a try to team up with Eddie in the forward line.
Armfield's pressure is good, but had a quiet game overall...
Back to next weeks game, I think we have very good chance to keep this winning form going. The backline is playing with confidence and with Judd, Murphy, Stevens and co feeding Fev and Hartlett I'm confident we can create enough opportunities.
GO Blues!!
