just got home,
did casboult, white, kerr and donaldson play?
if so how did they go?
cheers.
Casboult - yes - did a couple of nice things, looks a bit tentative
White - yes - the New Kouta.... only joking. Got a couple of touches
Kerr - yes - looks unfit.
Dondaldson - yes - Did a couple of nice things and nearly kicked a nice goal in last quarter.
Tiller - yes - see Casboult.
Murph and Waite got through and did some nice things. Good to see Waitey back and doing what he does. (At one point, he stripped NicNat of the ball, dodged around 3 blokes then scrubbed the kick!)
Lucas - did some nice things, didn't look out of his depth. Could play early, especially with Juddy out for first 3.
Browne - did some nice things when in the middle, go us going in 3rd quarter with gutsy play (smother, mark).
Davies - did quite well I thought. He will be scary once he realises that it is he who will be doing the hurting!
Setanta - presented reasonably well, obviously been told to hold back his leads. Took some good marks, looked to be limping a bit after good sheppard for Lucas' goal.
Jamo - Gun.
Walker - did some nice things, did some ordinary things.
206 & Hammer won the hit outs quite easily I thought. Didn't do a hell of a lot around the ground. Hammer took nice mark in last quarter and nearly squeezed home a goal from 50 (directly infront...)
A bit of a meh game really. Good to get some gametime into Waite, Murph and 206. Don't know if we would have learnt anything that will help us this year.....
As for gameplan.... looks same as last year....

No one to kick it to off half back, players either too lazy or told not to run hard down the line and move the ball on. Trying to get back into the corridor from half back is dumb. Kick outs ordinary, yet other team gets them out easily.
Bring on the real stuff and let the rookies show something in the VFL.
