[Hollow Knight]

We ended up winning the Morningside game by a couple of points.

Two good wins for a depleted reserves side.

Cornelius played down back again. Some nice spoils but also got lost a few times.

ta thanks

 

[PTizzle]

Coaches often say defense is a good way to learn pressure and so on, glad to see they're giving Cornelius a go down there.

Glad to hear we won both games as well, good start!

 

[Grimreepah]

Burton's influence could potentially have a big impact on how the reserves go.

[Quigley]

Richy Newell got up for a game I see. Does he have another year with us next year as a scholarship player?

 

[Hollow Knight]

Green is a little clearance machine. Comes in low and fast and emerges with the footy. Geez his kicking is letting him down though.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Half time of game 1. Lions down 32 - 1 against Aspley. Only A-Corn, Harwood, McKeever, Dyson, Harvey and Barry playing. Josh Dyson holding his own on the ball.

 

[Mr Ripper]

53-2. Poor old A-Corn has his own peanut gallery jeer squad. Mr. Harwood got into it that half and was industrious and Niall had a good crack (craic?) at it in the ruck. Side not really even attempting to adjust the game plan to the wet conditions.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Game 2 half time; 19-0 in arrears against some mob in white guernseys I dunno who they are. Hope we don't get too many wet days this winter because they're not even trying to adapt. Harwood playing well.

Bris Scorpions 2

 

[Mr Ripper]

Patience was rewarded with two late goals to A-Corn and Dyson, but still went down 22-12. Game was played out in heavy rain. I don't think much was gained from the days play other than a bit of a getting-to-know-you for the top-up kids.

 

[Quigley]

So Cornelius moved back up forward MR?

How did Harvey look?

 

[Mr Ripper]

A-Corn played fullback in game 1 and rucked in game 2. His last 'quarter' was easily his best - much like the team as a whole.

Harvey improved as the day went on. The conditions were utterly deplorable, Quigs. Barely a clean possession across both games. Harwood was the only one that looked a class above his company.

 

[Quigley]

Cheers MR

Anyone got any idea wtf Cornelius is not playing forward? We already look very short in quality up there without Brown and he is far and away our most dangerous young forward. Is it Voss is trying to get more defensive effort and awareness out of him or is he really trying to make him into a back? He has looked terrible whenever he has played back in AFL company but looked very serviceable as a forward.

Fair to say Harwood looks a mudlark?

I like Cornelius playing back. It should help his match fitness / defensive work and it should teach him a fair bit more about the game than playing at full forward in the reserves.

Playing a young forward down back is a deliberate ploy that has been used by quite a few coaches in the past to help make them better players in the long run. For some reason Jarrod Molloy (at Fitzroy) springs to mind as an example, but there have been lots of others. You could perhaps throw in Daniel Bradshaw as well - I think making him play defence made him a better forward. Lynchy was already an extremely good backman, but it also helped him become a very good full forward when he made the shift.

Although for some it has become a much better position than the original - Daniel Merrett saved his career when he was moved down to full back.

If Cornelius can find the fitness to give second and third efforts throughout games and perhaps be a back-up for either end of the field, then his spot on the list is safe. But right now he is all the sudden looking like he has got a lot of work to do to keep his spot (with the likes of Lester and Retzlaff moving ahead of him).

Ressies beat Redlands 6.7.43 to 5.3.33

Second half goalkickers were Karnezis (a Stevie J special in traffic), Collier (nice set shot tight on the boundary) and a top up player.

Morningside next. We aren't playing against Mt Gravatt.

top up player was hudghton

Let's not forget Leppa, the greatest ever CHB who started life as a young forward also....

 

[Mr Ripper]

Ressies are having their final scratchie at Aspley this Friday night at 7pm. Well, it beats Better Homes and Gardens!

 

[Quigley]

With the limited injury list (touch wood) you would have to think we would have a pretty strong side run out there.

Looking forward to the run down on each player MR

 

[chopperduck]

Hoping to get along to the ressie game on Friday night, only found out today it is up in my neck of the woods, and i don't usually do much else on a Friday night. Will be interesting to see who ends up playing Friday, and who ends up playing Saturday.
