2nds Suns Reserves

[Iva Bigun]

Was at the ground at 3pm to watch the reserves and was pleasantly suprised at how well the boys played. K was looking good in the middle too. the only down side us there is zero atmosphere in the stadium with 100 or so people in it, much prefered when we played at Broadbeach.

 

[Watson_my_mind]

Hunt named best for you guys?

Any stats on his game?

 

[manureid]

What is happening with Jolly? Cracked the team a few weeks ago but now not getting a mention in the bests for the reserves?

 

[Sunny_]

Jeez. Jolly was actually in the team for quite a few weeks. Last week was the first one he's missed for a while.

Was listed as an emergency last week, so not sure he even played in the ressies. Especially with Stanley in doubt right up until the kick off against Collingwood. Jolly would be one of the ideal replacements, probably.

So he's going well, getting semi-regular appearances in the team.

 

[WrongUn]

Hunt & Jolly both played reserves last week.

Dixon didn't play reserves last week and ended up being 1st emergency for the seniors should have Stanley pulled out last minute... I'm guessing there thinking was that Dixon would have gone to the fwd pocket, and Brennan moved down the ground to fill the void by Stanley.

To answer someones question about Caddy earlier, from memory he has a foot injury, out for a cpl weeks.

Caddy a chance to line up this week! Will love to keep an eye on him. Along with Matera, N. Ablett and Harris.

Got some guys returning from injury. Will no doubt help us for the run home. Go boys!

Looking forward to hearing how Caddy goes!

Geez DAN HARRIS any chance of a recall yet ????

Harro was injured for a few weeks. I expect to see him play in the seniors in a few weeks if he goes well in the ressies.

Matera named in forward pocket this week. Caddy named on the bench. Hoping for good stuff.

Nablett named in the best - game in the seniors next week?

I think with our forward line fuctioning so well it would be madness to try a seasoned lead up forward like NAblett
I enjoy watching Tom Lynch standing flatfooted behind his backman waving the ball in
It's fun.

Nablett named in the best - game in the seniors next week?

Nablett suprisingly did some good things today. Still believe he would get destroyed at AFL level though. Dixon ahead of him also in pecking order. Id like to see T.Hine get another shot. Also interesting to here in pre game function Hart reckons Hickey will be in the seniors within 2 weeks.

On another note, should Suns list Zorko? Best afield yet again v some gun Suns players and would offer depth/hardened body to rotate between AFL/NEAFL. Id like to see it happen but can see someone else picking him up also.

Is he a Barlow type?

Anyone see how Caddy went?

I'm not sure Tom agrees with you after working his butt off only for his teammate to kick it directly to his opponent time and time again

I think Dixon against the Lions minus Merrett would be better for us. I'd like to see the Suns (or Lions for that matter) give Zorko a go, can't be worse than some players already on their lists, and you know he'd appreciate the chance and give it his best shot.

To anyone who went, how did Caddy go?

 

[SandyToes]

I love Tom's work up the ground, but he seems intent on going the one out grab in the goal square

Agree with you there ST. Hopefully as both he and Sam Day develop, Tom leaves the goal-square work to Sam. Sam has the leap that Tom seems to lack.

 

[bballscout]

Luke Russell an already established AFL player got the job on Zorko today and was well beaten. Time to get this guy on a list. Really Id be dissapointed if Suns/Lions let him go to an interstate club.

 

[TheSunGod]

bballscout, did you see how Josh Caddy went today?

 

[bballscout]

bballscout, did you see how Josh Caddy went today?

Played probably 50% of the game and didnt do alot. Played off the back flank.

First game back yes but has been dissapointing for a no.7 pick. He's been rumoured to be keen for a return home, do we offload him now with his currency still high and on contract? Obviously worth keeping him on in 2012 but with only 22 spots on offer and coming off contract could be worth cashing him in?

Every team needs a Zorko
Zac to Zorko to Sallowz!
Goalz!!!!

How has he been disappointing? He hasn't even played!

I'm not buying all these missing home rumours, either. Same was apparently true for Prestia, and look what happened. Can't believe that stuff at all.

He'll play a lot next year, I suppose. And that's when we make the call on him.
