Just arrived from the game - haven't seen the gameday thread but can imagine the frustration despite the scoreline

A competent performance but honestly was unimpressed

Pros

Judd superb again brownlow chance if we'd snuck a couple more wins- overhead mark So he can play forward I was wr..wro..

-Hammer - is fast, gives flexibility, fights for the footy - forget the fumbles he's the future fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better than Cloke

-Thornton - To be fair he's been in great form all year - I have to accept that he's good at what he does and we need to find run from elsewhere

-Gibbs - improved game - had more impact today

-Murph and Kreuzer - very good again

- Waite - dynamic

-Robbo - was the spark early with awesome efforts- a bit too cocky at times but backs himself which we need

-A solid win with a lot of young players, some of whom were ordinary but need to get games into them
-I don't think Austin was great but important structurally- released Waite
-We didn't run so plenty of legs for next weeks trip

CONS

Game style - very unimpressive.
Should have won by more against depleted opposition
Yarran - disappointing. Lacks mental toughness, confidence and urgency. Slack
No run from backline - Joseph and Army weren't in the game - need them carrying the ball
Stevens - one lovely left foot goal and.......?
Hadley - He must be struggling if I'm pining for Bentick
Simpson - played a good game all up but he refused to run with the ball

Cons: Lack of drive off half back

Really looking forward seeing Walker, Johnson and Grigg playing along side Robbo, Army, AJ and Browne

Why Johnson? For the turnovers?

Warnock's another.

Plenty on here going far too early on Yarran. Remember Leon Davis in the early days? Ordinary. Donuts in a GF if I remember correctly. Give Yarran time.

What he said - very harsh on a first year player. Yarran will be something special when he develops further into a midfielder/forward - mark these words.

Pro:

Got HEAPS of free stuff.

WHAT TURN OVERS?????

The turnovers from the bulldogs game were uncharacteristic of him and one would think the 'thigh' injury would have played some part

Johnson can use the ball. Can run. Needs to work on his body work but plenty of upside no doubt

Can Johnson run with the ball? Seems another static type who jogs a few steps while looking for targets for his nice long kicking.
