Well done GC, had a little run at the end of the 3rd then decided to chip it around to protect their deficit.

Roughly mine as well. Maybe Naismith ahead of Sonsie and Cumberland ahead of Hugo.
McAulife quieter in second half. I don’t mind if he gets a heap of VFL matches for fitness before debuting. No rush.

ready made players for me are macca, sonise, yassine they could all play next week

 

[SouthernStripes]

Only watched the last quarter but sounds like McAullife and Sonsie had a heap of possies and Cumberland looked sharp in the last getting into lots of good spots and making things happen.

 

[sanaya]

We honestly could consider Yassine as our MSD pick (should we have one). Been good for a while

Love his pressure and has good speed. Uses the ball well.

McAuliffe - BOG with a dominant display in the first half, drew some closer attention in the 2nd half which limited his impact. Surely banging on the door for a debut.
Sonsie - teamed well with McAuliffe in the middle as they complimented each others games. McAuliffe at the source and Sonsie on the outside. Will only improve on that give it was his first hit out for a month.
Naismith - will be a very handy as an insurance policy for Nankervis should the need arise. Gave the mids silver service at the contest and got back late to help the back line in the last.
Ralphsmith - a whipping boy for many, but played a very solid game across HB and pushing forward. Some brain fades went unpunished and that can't happen if he wants to progress.
Smith - very solid game across HB. Much like Vlastuin and Broad, he just goes about his business with a minimum of fuss. Building nicely after an injury interrupted 2023.
Cumberland - much better overall game from Noah. Didn't have a lot of touches during the first 3 quarters, but defensively was much better, which kept him involved in the game. Could have finished with 3-4 goals as a result. Needs to back it up though as that's been his issue.
Koschitzke - every single key forward struggled to have a big impact on the game. Still he presented well and at the very least didn't allow himself to be out marked. Got a late goal to seal the win, to get back into the seniors he'll need to improve his impact up forward and on the scoreboard.
Green - much quieter game for Green than usual but he''ll bounce back.
Ryan - strange game from Ryan, spent a lot of time forward having no impact after a quick start where he could have kicked 2 in the first 10 minutes. Spent limited time in the ruck, which may mean they're trying to turn him into a forward who rucks. Will be interesting to see how this progresses as the year unfolds.

Sums it up pretty well.

First half by McAuliffe was monstrous. Wouldn’t surprise me if half of our scores involved him in some way.

Sonsie wasn’t as prolific as McAuliffe with his disposals IMO (McAuliffe was a beast), but it was still one of his best VFL games for us. Great to see.

Cumberland’s possessions were high quality. Kicked 2 (probably should’ve kicked 3), and set up quite a few. Should return to our side soon if he keeps this up.

 

[Muddiemoose]

Good win

Na don’t really rate him as a coach

 

[docko911]

McAuliffe and Sonsie should be getting a look into the seniors with both Prestia and Hopper out for weeks.

[tiger_tough]

The latter same as his grandad Ted and his father John.

funny how that works

 

[Rubber Hips]

Been so impressed with Cumbos work rate all day
Hasn’t taken the easy option once.. coaches will love that so much

You can tell he is focusing on the 1%s….the team stuff, the pressure, chase

He did very well today - coaches will like that a lot
