Review U-23 Melbourne vs Collingwood at Vic Park

[TradeDraft]

Was good for Finally to go to a Footy Game even if it was more of a Training Session where a Coach has a say what they want from a Stoppage.

Here is my Thoughts

• Yagmoor really Disappointed me as he took the Kick-Ins but he Turned it over quite a few times
• Witts was not Dominating and Might even lost the Battle in the Ruck but did some very good Taps to Blair and Sidebottom where they run. Also some Great Pickups
• Paine is a Big Unit. While I only saw 2 QTRs of him as I could not tell if it was him. He battled well and really attacked the Ball. He Kicked a Goal
• Ceglar Played Ruck and Forward. Did a Good Job in the Ruck and won a few taps and Forward he Attacked the Ball but did not take many Marks
• Marley Williams is Shot and Muscle. He was Okay
• Steele Sidebottom Dominated
• Blair 2nd Best
• Keeffe was Solid and Used the Ball well out of Defense
• Shae Played and was not better or worse
• Did not really notice Seedsman excpet in the 1st QTR where he did to much and got caught Holding the Ball

Players who did not play:

• Josh Thomas
• Corey Gault
• Paul Cribbin

Im backing steele for all australian this year. His already underrated, and is gonna take his game up a gear

 

[rustyg70]

Heard he did his Hammy in the Warm-Up

Ah crap.
Hope its only a strain and nothing serious.

Thanks for writing that up Dave, it's always good to read people's comments during training/the preseason.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Elliott has done his hammy in the warm-up? I had just pencilled him in for Krakouer's spot! No Josh Thomas. Not many positives other than Sidebottom and Blair.

 

[mattys123]

Everyone's throwing up Elliott, or Yagmoor, or Witts, well what about one of last years draftees, Kirk Ugle?

I haven't heard anything about him all pre season, yet if anyone is to take over as a small forward, it's got to be the little fella, doesn't it?

 

[PremierPie13]

Thanks for the info TD. Do you know who won?

Ben Sinclair I reckon. Has played a couple of games now and showed a bit. Plus, he is a little speedy gonzalez who applies terrific forward pressure, something Bucks would value quite highly.

Nice one TD. Big hopes for Keeffe and Blair this year.

He got engaged

and Become a Father

 

[blaze036]

He was a father last year... one of the few dads at collingwood at 18

from the Age:

The same could be said of the ''match''. It was a long way from real footy.

That Does Sum it Up Really

apparently the little tacker has been training hard ..I agree let's give him a crack...didn't he make an appearance in a nab cup game last year ?? can't remember for sure but this year with al lour outs the kid has an opportunity for sure... hope so and i hope he takes it

 

[blaze036]

Yes ugle played a nab cup game last year, did nothing really. Did kick a flukey goal

 

[blaze036]

• Witts was not Dominating and Might even lost the Battle in the Ruck but did some very good Taps to Blair and Sidebottom where they run. Also some Great Pickups

Turns out he was against Stef Martin, whos 7 years older and a good AFL ruckmen. it would be QUIET amazing if Witts didnt lose to him.
