I must be one of the very few who feels Sidey is nowhere near as bad as what is made out. Still finds the ball and keeps running. Sure some of the decision making could be better and disposal is hit or miss, but that could also be reflected in the options available from a inexperienced and bottom 4 team.
Of the kids, I thought Henry and Ruscoe were the standouts. Ruscoe actually reminds me a little of Maynard in his first couple of years.
I can see Macrae really having a future. He seems to kick off one step, but will get better. A couple of pre-seasons of conditioning and can see him as a real accumulator like his brother.
Tohill needs a few games. Such a good size with speed and nice kick. I'd continue playing him. I would even give him a go a full forward have him use his pace to lead. The bombing long to Cox just doesn't work. May as well have more speed leading.
I thought Poulter had an average game. I think he needs a rest.
While Ginnivan didn't see much of it, he seems to have some class about him, and as Dave said, you do get a feeling something is going to happen when he has the ball.
Bianco played another measured game and should also have a career.
And Madge has been good the past 2 weeks.
While it pains me, we can't bring Mayne back in. We need to play these kids and a more direct game, which unfortunately, doesn't seem to be the Mayne way.
