Went and saw the Tassie v Sandy game and it was a pretty scrappy game on the small North Hobart oval. The Tassie boys got up by about 40 points and won the game by winning the hard ball.
A lot of Demon listed players struggled a bit. Here's a rundown of some of them:
Walsh - One of the better sandy players and won a lot of the ball.
Armstrong - Struggled early but got a few possies late when the game was over. Was on and off the bench a lot, why I don't know, they should just give him a full game for once. I was disappointed by his game, I expected more.
Newman - Was quite impressed, had a good game off a wing/hbf, looks similar to Wheatley.
Smith - Did bugger all, very disappointed with his game but the ground doesnt suit a CHF.
McLean - Dont know if he played or not.
Lamb - Struggled in general, but did show some good signs.
Broadbridge - Did some good things, did some bad things.
Williams - Played ok, as much as it pains me to say it. The more bad games he plays the better.
Heffernan - Soft, soft, soft, soft. Didn't go near a pack, really poor game I thought.
In general the skills were pretty poor, maybe indicative of the pressure Tassie applied.
I was very impressed with Biddlecome for Sandy, rucked well, and did some good things. Also Robinson for Tassie should be drafted, apparently we were going to get him but chose Davey instead. Good pick i think.
