Interesting to note that we have won separate games without one of our two stars. Cousins and Gardiner, easily our most important players have been out and we have just won anyway That has been a plus in this preseason.

True, we dont need to be known as a "No Carey, No Nth Melb" kind of team. Footy is a game played by a team, not by 2 or 3 superstars and the rest relying on them.

Woosha has really changed this side......

Judd played well and Fletcher was great (will be missed if suspended) Sampi played for SF and did well although EP thrashed them. In the WAFL Wooden, Gardiner, Hunter, Munro, Gardiner, Sierra (2 goals), Haynes, Lynch and Sampi all we amongst best players.

Cousins was brilliant but also spent a lot of time in a forward pocket so other had a good go on the ball. Richard Taylor did well on the ball, Kerr was brilliant but only played the second half really.

VOR I support your dig at Haynes and Gardiner. I agree.

Gardiner needs to grow up.

Haynes oozes ability but he needs to step up this year. I dont think he works hard enough in a game. He seems to think that if he does one or two good things thats enough. I hope he can improve his attitude and make it or otherwise it will be a serious waste of talent. Your right Willimas and Embley have jumped ahead after yesterdays performance.

I too was at the game.

Good to see Banners back. But he looked very very rusty.

Braun, Kerr, Cousins were brilliant.

Humm continues to improve. He is ahead of Richard Taylor for a spot in R1.

Chambers and Judd are competing for a spot in the starting 18. Chambers needs to be more at the fall of the ball and not just gaing the ball in open space. Judd gains possession in heavy traffic but holds it to long. Terrific prospect. He needs to play R1. He will learn nothing in WAFL. Just needs to get used to the speed and intensity of AFL.

Peter Matera is playing like a colt. Hes got another 2 or 3 years in him right now.

Fido and Merenda were superb. They will keep Sampi out of R1.

Tuckey is a surprise packet. Very versitile. Takes good grabs. Can pinch hit at CHF , CHB and Ruck. Will play R1

Can we play Glass, Carroll and Gaspar in the same team. If Gas can keep fit he is very useful Ruck, CHF, Forward Pocket. But is there room for Tuckey and Gaspar when Gardiner comes back. I would leave out Carroll unless you can play Glass on HBF.

I would play Wooden ahead of Fletcher. Fletch makes far too many skill errors. We have other players to cover him.

We were woeful earily across half back. Will need Collica back.

Rowen Jones was good

Andrew Embley is primed to take the next step. As long as he keeps fit and out of the Tribunial.

Jako looks great. I think Woosha has given. McIntosh, Roo and Jako a new lease of life.

BB could have caused a number of fatalities yesterday. His kicking was woeful. Must use him as an impact player and dont rely too much on him as FF. He has a role to play as long as we keep things in perspective and dont expect to many goals from him. He will never kick a ton. But will create space. If they leave BB out of R1 they will make a mistake.

I am impressed in Kasey Green. He deserves a HBF role or start on the bench.

All in all I think we are primed fro R1. Bring on the Dockers. I appreciate the fact that the Melees and punch ups were just practice for R1. Great strategy by Woosha as these skills will play an important part in that game.

GO EAGLES!
