Beat game yet by the big fella.

How awsome is he going to be when he grows up?

Played pretty well, although we've got to get some set plays working in the clearances when he gets the tap. He gives it to the opposition a lot of times. Whether that's his fault of the crumbers fault for not being in the right spot I don't know.

That will come the more he plays. It was good to see him get so much time today.

A couple more games and he will be ramming it down their throats as he seem to get the tap easily.

Yep he played pretty well but we got slaughtered in the clearances.

funky_monk · May 18, 2003

The Sandi-man is going to be a good one. The fact we got slaughtered in the clearances and we still won is a pretty good sign.

Kenny_01 · May 19, 2003

Yeah we won by 7 goals when they nearly got double our clearances and more inside 50s as well. Good sign.

We will see the best of him in 3-4 years. As good as he wads today there are still certain aspects he hads to improve. Such as when he gets his hands on the ball in a confined space.

Was it just me or did he not seem so confident in his kicking ability? Several times he called for a team mate to run behind for the handpass. I must admit though, his kicking wasn't the greatest at times...

Is that really a good sign though? Do you think if you let the Eagles, Crows, Lions or Port get more I50's and nearly double the clearances that you would still win by 7 goals?

Doubt it.

I would have though that that would be a bad sign, but you were lucky enough to get away with it on the day?

On Sandilands....the guy is a giant!!

It's not good but it means we must be doing very well in other parts of our game. The midfield area in relation to clearances, has generally improved this year, but obviously alot more work is required. Did they have trouble roving to Sandilands style of ruck?.

Sandilands is doing ok, yes he looks a bit lost at times, but it might help if his team mates helped him along. Yesterday he made room out wide and took a couple of marks, he was unsure what to do next, a runner should have created an option by running past to take a hand ball. He is learning the game at the top, I believe in the long run playing at the top level will be better than learning his craft back at WAFL level.

He is physically intimidating, just ask Aaron Hamill, twice I saw him go for the body of Sandilands rather than the ball. Hamill normally would have marked them. He was more worried about the man, than the ball.

41 points lucky enough.

Brisbane lost 3 out of 4 quarters against Geelong last week but still won the game. Good teams Find a way to win... thus it is a good sign.

This is very funny. Jod whats your story? last couple of days you've been discrediting Freo left, right and centre. Most the other WC supporters have been quite good. Whats the matter?

Denial, Freo is actually showing some proof of going in a forward direction, we can't have that can we ...............

I think they did have trouble roving but that will improve as he gets more time in the ruck.

Then watch out!
