3 touches in probably 40% game time. Played as a really deep fwd.

6 tackles. Went in for some centre bounces too, which was good to see.

How did you see his game Dominic03 , he look like the guy you remember?

Not worried so much about possessions etc., but he move & contest the same?

I didn't go to the game, but my mate who did said his chasing, running and all of the physical attributes were really good and similar to what he was at as a junior, looks a little bigger and his contested and physical stuff was better.

I wasn't expecting him to get 30 and BOG. Just glad he got out onto the field.

40% TOG, just build that up and see where it goes

theiaofseed doesn't like this

There was one piece of play where we burst through the middle and both saunders and seamus were second last and last man. I thought here we go goal. Alas atkins from gold coast chased him down. I was surprised but i reckon when he is fitter very few will catch him. Atkins was right on him though and is pretty quick

"Seamus Mitchell did a couple of genuine A-grade things, including a one-handed pick-up at speed. But his finishing wasn't at the level he is capable of for such a polished ball-user. It has been great to have him back in the side for a couple of games and he will improve over the rest of the season."

Hopefully keeps getting that match fitness up, the skills will improve with games. Hopefully gets a debut before season end.

 

[theiaofseed]

Kids been out of football for 2 years just look at Rowell and his form since coming back. Can't wait to see him with a full preseason.

 

[VandoHawk]

Sammy doesn't give meaningless praise so saying he did A-grade things is a lot more exciting than the normal stock standard reports.

 

[MrPremiership]

Just excited to see him out there. 40% game time in the previous VFL game, I wonder what he got in last weeks' scratch match.

Hoping to get to 80% this week

 

[The hands of stone]

Saw A grade things and one handed pick up at speed . Thats enough for me !!

 

[CHUBBSS]

As long as he stays on the park, he will be exciting to hear about across pre season

Sam's clearly a fan.

 

[Bardo State]

Sam's clearly a fan.

VERY measured in his appraisal of other players

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

VERY measured in his appraisal of other players

especially towards Finn and Downie.

He looked OK.

It was a decent performance.

He will be a bit disappointed.

I'm just hoping Sammy isn't biased towards Seamus cos of his name. Maybe he thinks he'll get the brownlow votes when Gillon reads out S. Mitchell, 3 votes

Emotionally distant, cold and unfeeling coach. All his players are going to grow up and develop into strippers.

Does one 'develop' into a stripper?

 

[Noel Gallagher]

Isaac Rankine is a poor mans Seamus Mitchell

[JaegarTime]

Forgot to post but watched Seamus closely at practice last week. I think when he builds back up (2 years out of footy) he’ll be something. Looked classy and just has a natural kicking technique. Quietly really excited about him after not being that bothered when we first drafted.

 

[Dewnior]

Does one 'develop' into a stripper?

No. But one can 'develop' into a better stripper.

Well, that's what a friend told me anyway.

3 Goals by Shagger in the scratch match, lots of forward pressure and runs down Jetta. More game time for this excitement machine

Was that today?

Any more you can tell us? Opposition? Time on ground & possessions or position played etc.?

Thanks in advance.
