Defence is tracking well

[Ruddiger]

Our defenders are really doing well this year. Only 445 points conceded in 6 matches, which is the lowest of any team this year to date (even with 6 teams playing tomorrow).

Wirra is excellent in the sweeper role
Chick is better than ever, matching up with Ablett Jr, Hall, Ottens etc
Glass has learnt heaps from the Wizard Cup Grand Final and is a real challenge
Hunter is working harder (OK tonight wasn't so good for him)
Banners experience and toughness is really adding to the side
B Jones is coming along well

I thought Hunter has played very well this season cementing his spot in the side. What do you mean OK maybe not last night?

Biggest improvers:

Defence: Hunter
Midfield: Selwood
Forward: Hansen

Hunter for mine seems to have put on the muscle he so desperately needed in my opinion, and you could probably be argue that he is now our CHB we have been searching for. Hunter reminds me alot of Jimmy Clement in his size and strength. Glass has been great in my opinion but he has been caught out on a few occassions going for the ball rather then his opponent. If anyone has noticed nearly every single goal kicked against Glass has been with his player on the run after the ball is handballed over Glassys head. As for Chick Banners and Wirrpunda, these guys id dare say are close to the best small defenders in the league. They are in great form. As for Brett Jones i think he still has alot to learn, but for a youngster he is coming along well, and if Brett Jones does slip up we got Mark Nicoski waiting in the wings ready to swoop on his position.

Id like to see the stats from the middle of last year of our defence. There on fire... with a little help from our midfield of course , lets hope they can keep the good work up...

Interesting to see Jonesy taking a lot of the kickouts last night, he's a fair roost of the sherrin and pretty accurate too.

I see a lot of people are happy with Adam Selwood but i dont see him as a big improver. His disposal is not that great as he doesn't have penetration in his kicks and often takes a while to dispose of the ball. Therefore i still see him ranked behind butler. The person that has improved to help us out the most around the middle/flanks is probably adkins IMO
