He has been okay. Still worry about his discipline and shonky disposals playing in such a role. But if the experiment keeps him away from the forward line and leaves space for someone like Campbell to be played where he should be, then I'm happy with that.

Hard to get excited by a match sim or anything pre-season tbf but still, kicking 19 goals is impressive.

Don't be so negative. Have some faith. The Big Guy is the best Tall Forward we have. He kicked 47 last year and wasn't even the focal point.

No. Because he has been playing a defensive role on Cadman. As a negating key back. Don't like it.

Good hitout.
Amartey & Campbell the only real takeaways.
Amartey & Campbell the only real takeaways.
Don’t read anything into these games.
Main thing is no injuries.
But it did confirm:
* McCartin forward and Wicks back are both genuine
* Campbell under Cox is a half forward (yay)
* Adams isn’t in the frame for the starting midfield. Seems likely to be predominantly used in the forwards
* We have an new player called Patonfromstkilda

Neither do I to be honest. Yes Blakey can be a bit flakey defensively sometimes but his run out of defence is a huge weapon for us. We can't take that out of his game.
I suspect this is a result of McCartin not being down there.

Loved what Campbell did but his second half was quite. He needs to learn to run out games.
Personally would have preferred him kicking 2 goals in the first half and 2 goals in the second half than 4 goals in the first quarter and a half, if that makes sense.

Hardly being negative , no one has kicked 100 goals in 17 years in this league and the one did it was a once in a generational player.
To suggest Amartey will do it when he hasn't kicked 50 in a year yet is kind of bonkers .
I mean it's honestly more likely last year is his best return of his career. That part may be negative but still, a practice game hit out and you think he is Tony Lockett

Overall that's probably our best pre season performance in a long while - starting where we left off in the prelim last year. Neither team full strength but not far off it either.
Our gamestyle and weaknesses don't look a heap different tbh but I like the Campbell, Wicks and Paton moves, and Sheldrick will get a few gigs - these are potential improvements on last year. We just need to do well what we do well and we'll be alright.
The Mccartin experiment can only help us, at worst it becomes a harry taylor style swingman option. Our only struggle will be the gulf of improvement we would get out of Steven May style enforcer defender. Whatever chips we have in the bank come end of year needs to go all out on that player - have to identify and get in the ear of one.

If it was a normal game then sure. But everyone knows second halves of the practice matches are nightmares.

All i took from it was forget the three talls from last year is probably the way to go , I know 2 didn't play but still , smaller is better for us

I thought Hannily was good. Mitchell too in the minutes he got, which were limited. Matty Roberts was good in the few minutes he played. Paton looks impressive.
Sheldrick gets lots of ball and barrels a lot but needs to clean up his disposal.
There is plenty of upside. We kicked 19.11 which is a very good score. They were without Taylor but he was their only back missing.
It was a bit bruise free footy, especially when the rain started. I thought the body on body got lighter when the rain came. But a good hit out. I think next week has to be much harder to prepare for the season Opening Round. Gold Coast were impressive v Pies & Lions.

Amartey is never going to kick a 100 in a season , Buddy only did it once

Fox had a delayed start and according to Matthews, the thought was he would be better playing in the VFL squad for this hit out

I wasn't going to until I saw that the observations from this match alone took six pages. Clogs up the other thread. Will probably combine this one with a thread for next week's game, as more people will watch that and probably more comment will follow.
