VFL Sandringham vs Port Melbourne (Friday 16th March)

[bird_man]

Yeah mate. Reporting for duty. They're all here.
Luke Dunstan playing well.
Lonie great tackling and a nice mark 15 out in very wet conditions, but missed!
Austin and Goddard some solid defensive work in the air and on the ground.
Nissenbaum kicked a goal and did a string of 4 tackles in a row.

Half-time
Sandy 3.8.26
Williamstown 5.8.38

Where is marshall playing mate? Finding plenty of the footy.

SAN: 3.8 26
WILl: 5.8 38

Disposals: Marshall 12, Dunstan 10 & Lonie 9.

Goals: Haidon, Nissenbaum & Dunstan

Marshall is an impressive kid, for a wet day to be getting plenty of ball at his size is a great effort.

 

[bird_man]

Geez I hope Longer doesn’t injure himself in the warm up if Marshall is playing now...

 

[Kilroy]

Where is Hickey then? Sharing 50-50 or?

Pretty much.

3 quarter time
Down 28 to 69.

Rice was good that quarter

Crappy football but no injuries.
I'm off to the big game.

Haha "rookie" error

A few observations:
Coffield - composed, great efforts defensively
Wright - came into it in the latter parts, think he kicked a nice long goal
Gilbert - in everything, bit sloppy
Austin - ok defensively, bit slow off the mark but one exceptional kick I noticed
Hugh - plenty of spoils but nothing stood out to me
Marshall - did well early but not seen after half-time
Hickey - dropped a few marks, did ok
Dunstan - did pretty well but one poor play trying to baulk
Lonie - one of our best but dropped his head when he missed a sitter after a great mark drifting across a pack
Phillips - in amongst the possessions, nothing flashy
Battle - took a few marks
White - some nice kicks but hard to identify a bit
Clavarino - a little clumsy in the wet but he's raw
Joyce - it did occurr to me momentarily that he could come good. (Did as well as Austin and Goddard I thought)
Connellan - bit quiet
Couldn't see Weller, McKenzie or Langlands (although I'm not sure I'd recognise him yet)

Only cos I mentioned him a few posts earlier.

Lots of good intercepts and CPs in the wet. Footy brains. Relatively good by foot considering conditions. Got banged around but held ground. He looks a player.

His biggest problem in making the squad might be that his obvious spot is held by the Captain.
