I'll do some tweeting from the game tonight. #GoWild hashtag if anyone's interested. Reading tweets will be more entertaining than watching St Kilda play, let's face it! ;)

That would be great Mr Rip. Can't make it to this game.

Say g'day to the gang for me.

You're the man, Mr R.
 
Rip and I are most definitely twits.

25 plays 23 at half time. Nice conditions here - not to much dew on the grass & heat gas gone out of the day + no humidity.

SOKS & retry trying hard but the whole games looks a little sloppy. Orange maggots red hot on the whistle.

Sounds like Polec will be a gem, kicked some important goals. I can see why we wouldn't rush him in round 1, and instead take some time to coach him a bit, fix his defensive side. If he can tighten that up, he is going to be a game breaker. Would get found out in a big way at AFL level defensively though by the sounds of it.
 
Some quicks thoughts:

-Was slightly scrappy game - the kookaburra near me got more clean posession than anyone on the ground
-Lack of a dedicated ruck was hurting us after Bart went down (looked suscpisciouly like a quad
-Polec will be good. How good is dependant on how hard he works on his game. Undeniable talent who kicked us back into the game
-I heard SOKS talking at the 3/4 time huddle. Talks like a team leader (which in fairness he should be in the seconds)
-Green, Harwood, SOKS had good games but their kicking lets them down. Green is where the ball falls which is almost an unteachable trait.
-Hawskley looks destined for a decent stint in the twos. Fairly unconvincing.
-Niall coming along well
-Not sure where Acorn is at. Undeniably they're trying to teach him to work hard, but I think he's going to get lost.
-Richie Newell shows a bit. Might be one who gets through to the rookie list. Faded in and out though.
-Retzy is a hard worker - if he gets some good delivery... watch out.
-I can never find Mr Ripper at footy game - he must be a chameleon. And there was probably 250 people at the ground (100 of those in the clubhouse!).

Was just a practice match but good to see the team fight back and get something out of the game.

Can someone in th know clarify Newll's status. I understand he is a NSW scholarship player, but is he eligible to play reserves all year as a reserves player without actually being a rookie, ala Donald Barry, whom I almost consider being a rookie without ever being able to be promoted?:confused:

And whatever happened to Steve O'Connor, James Brain, Jack Lawson? Did their scholarships essentially expire?
