The WEED 3 Goals! what do you think Dazzle, time to experiment a tad??

Trengove would have got most of his disposals by HT.  Looked good.

 

Mod's,  can we have the Casey thread pinned at the top, at least while Trenners & Petracca are making a come back?  we can maintain all the updated goss',  & also gamedays.

I think the front half of season in AFL will be up & down after today,  till we  settle our side with some more experienced talent.  Dunn, Trenners;  & then Petracca,

Some positive news in this thread at least. I know Trenners, Petracca and even Weideman will come in time, but I am really happy ANB had a good game (by the look of it). He is one of the fittest guys at the club, and I think there is a spot for him in the seniors, as early as next week after today's debacle.

Did Trenners play reduced minutes after half time? 

Cheer up

I arrived about 10 minutes into the first quarter and as I walked in Trengove took a strong mark and kicked a great goal from about 40m.  It was a great sign.

It took me quite a while to work out who was who so I might have missed some of the good work by the MFC listed players in the 1st quarter by half time I had them pretty much pegged.  Having said that it took me till the last quarter to pick out Jayden Hunt.

Alex Neal-Bullen was the best demon player over 4 quarters, played in the centre and was constantly in the game, kicked a couple of goals following the ball forward.

Dunn played well at full back, looked short of a gallop but seemed to get better as the game went on.  Half way through the 3rd quarter he came off for a spell and i heard him say to someone on the interchange that he was fuched but he played a good last term.  I think he'd be right to come in next week.

Trengove was in everything early, moved very smoothly was clean and made good decisions.  Looked to be doing it pretty easily at this level to be honest.  He was rested for almost all of the 4th quarter.

Petracca was very good in patches, he was off and on the bench a lot and came off about half way through the 3rd quarter.  He has great hands in traffic, very soft.  I was surprised to see he had 20 touches.  

Hunt - As I said I didn't realise it was him until the last quarter and he was good.  He used his speed a few time and broke the lines but tends to blaze away and not kick it to the advantage of the forwards.

Weidemen was good, took some good marks, positioned himself well in the forward line and kicked straight from what I saw.  Still very raw, but isn't afraid to throw himself into the contest.  

Hulett - another i didn't realise who he was until late.  Will need time but did some nice things leading up to the wings.

I'll think of more later, any questions just ask.

Cheers,

HB

 

Based on what you saw, who would be in the frame for elevation next week?

I'd bring in ANB, STRETCH and Dunn

Haha, at least his teammates look happy that he is back on the park

What did Trengoves kicking and pace look like?

ANB was Best On Ground and I expect him to come in.  Dunn was solid, didn't do much wrong.  He probably comes in too.  Trengove was probably next best but I think he'll need more game time before coming into the Melbourne side.  I thought Stretch was pretty poor to be honest.  

Hopefully Trengove gets back to his junior form, we desperately need him to. Good to hear that he got through it.

Kicking was outstanding, can't think of a miss or at least a complete clanger. 

Pace wise, he had plenty of time and space around him whenever he had the ball.  He looked to be getting around for the most part at about 3/4 pace.  I don't recall him sprinting or needing to sprint at any stage.  He never looked rushed but didn't look quick like Hunt, Stretch and Frost

I feel like one of Stretch or Grimes have to come in. We just need the run. I'd go Stretch unless he was poor.

Similarly I think we need to consider how well White, Wagner and Hunt played because we might need of those guys in at half back. 

We can't keep going with the same guys in those spots. 

Just on Frost he does some absolutely spectacular things, like bursting out of packs and sprinting through the middle but his kicking is terrible.

I'm not sure what his role is or will be in the future.  Not a forward and he is not a reliable kick for goal and is kicking from Defence would be a liability. Not tall enough to be a decent ruckman.

Tall wingman?

I thought White was disappointing, tbh he looked a little overweight and slow. 

Wagner was good but his first movement and action is to look sideways.  He probably had a dozen kicks at CHB that went sideways.  They hit a target, but didn't advantage the team all that much.

Grimes was solid but he was far from dominant for someone who should be a level above VFL.

Bring in ANB.
