Willem Drew was very good. Started in the midfield and spent lots of time there.
A lot less hugging the boundary and just a suggestion of structure in our fwd setup won't go into details
but reason to be optimistic. There's 2 ways you could look at today
error ridden sure there were moments to put a smile on ya dial but seriously a lot of basic mistakes.
or
1st 1/4 pretty good. Younger players came into the game as it went on esp Pudney who after early nerves
(not the only one) got a heap of it.
Drew in the guts wow will have to play plenty this year

Patmore and later in the game Garner showing good signs.
Duursma had it on a string in the 1st. 1 or 2 clangers but

Todd looked good got a shoulder issue late in the 1st but played out the game. Goals marks and good decisions.
Kid could be anything, probably needs to put on some muscle in arms/chest.
Ebo up forward looked good and kicked well.
SPP at his bullocking best complete with some dumb disposals but overall a very good game.
Sammy Gray threatened to open the scoring for the black team 40m out couldn't make the distance.
Broady rusty as you'd expect but grew into the game
Didn't see a lot of Rozee and Burton altho' both did some good things
Ryder looks fit and better for a decent rest
Would like to have seen more structure and finesse but early days, a lot of nervy newbies and some stars out.
Glass 1/2 empty says 5 out of 10
Glass 1/2 full says to 8 out of 10.
Take the wheat from the chaff and there are some good players coming thru.
Good crowd
