I'm only going by the twitter feed but he's already had 2 shots on goal but missed them both.  He has gotten both shots from marks on the lead though so that's a good sign early.

yeah Weeds is moving well. Presenting really well & taken 2 strong marks out in front on the lead. Should have 2 on the board. Lumumba has racked em up & setting up some nice plays forward. Brayshaw in everything. Stretch & Neal bullpen playing well. O Mac has been impressive too. Will keep you guys posted at half time.

Pre-Game Warm Up:

Gus - No strapping on knee. Looked relaxed

Stretch - Focussed & fit 

ANB - Right knee strapped. Probably just the norm for bloke with those earlier knee cap issues. 

Dunn - "is it home time yet?"

Weid - A very deliberate & steady approach to goal. Very rhythmic & pure. Technique will hold him in good stead.

Hulett - As we all probably know by now - Kid's & brick. Also a pretty sound & fluent technique for goal. Good penetration on the leg.

Game time- 1stQ

First bounce, first touch, bork & centre clearance from Gus into F50.

First score - Stretch looking damaging heading into F50 with the delivery to the Weid. 35out, 45degree angle - Poster.

First goal of the game - who else? Gus. Out of a stoppage from deep in our F50, gather from the tap, another Bork then a left snap thru the sticks. Off to the bench sir 

5mins later - Gus back on.

H with the pick up & gather from a pack just outside D50, feeds Gus with the hands who strides thru the middle. Quick long waited handball to a casey bloke who delivers chest high to the leading Weid. Great passage, great separation & lead from Weid. Know's where to run as a forward. 40m out, directly in front - Behind. Just. 

Weid with 0.2. Looks the good tho.

Siren sounds. That's Quarter time.

3.3.21 - Casey
1.0.6 - Port

As long as he doesn't Björk as well.  We are trying to forget that culture of recent times.

2nd Q:

Oscar with a couple of nice early touches in defence. Then a mark in a 2v2 situation 60out from our attacking 50. Looking composed & comfortable - for now.

H amongst it half way thru this second term. Finding himself deep & amongst packs... Handling himself OK. Tad rusty but that's a bit expected coming off those ankles. 

Mitch White with the ball unmarked with an eternity of time & grass to pick & choose where to go next.

.....
.....

Eventually to be caught holding the ball. Should never have happened. Not a good look.

Gus again with another signature clearance just outside our attacking 50. & when I mean signature I mean this natural gather, 'Baulk' (Cheers Pineapple Dee)  & step (this time to the right) on the boot to a leaping Weideman!!! Ump reckons in the back - BS!. Great passage.

Dunn doing his thing down back. Looks fine. Can just tell he's looking ahead to this time next week.

Heavy gale towards Port's end has them controlling the second part of the term.

They sneak ahead.

Halftime 

4.4.28 - Caesy
5.4.34 - Port

Phone dies.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
