That effort by Brayshaw against Murphy was embarrassing.

Ok great, Hopefully we can hang on!

 

Well done Dees.

20sec left in a practice match who cares.

Dees win by a goal.

Interesting game.

Technically 2 goals.  I don't count super goals. 

Having Jordan Lewis out there in the dying stages will do wonders when the real stuff begins. He was everywhere late.

Wonky last 10 minutes but great win overall. Hope those injuries aren’t too bad.

Great win today. Still work to do, but they kept it together. Like the jumper, like the gameplan. Happy.

Smarts and experience got the better of him. Murphy's been schooled like that many a time over the years. Hardly embarrassing.

Lovely passage of play!

Great quarter from the boys, absolutely loving the intent, tackling and pressure.  Only negative you could say is that we could be a few more goals ahead.

Your confidence has been rewarded Wiseblood. A good pick.

That should improve membership numbers.

A good win much better than I thought.

I love how Lewis gets back quickly behind the mark before he kicks it.

Genius.

I know I was a little harsh of your prediction earlier OD - I just like to keep the optimism up to kick off the year.  If I go in looking at a game and thinking we can't win then I'm in for a long year!

Missed the game today, just wanted to know who impressed and any injuries?

well at least the boys will be in a good mood at the family day tomorrow. Can't get there.

Nice to hear the song at the end. 

Joel smith- looks the goods. Well done those that gave him a wrap, think we've got a strong contested player there!

spencer - with the 3rd man up rule - could be vital to our campaign ... who would've thought.

hogan and hunt - solid matches...

trac and Bradshaw building.

Lewis top ballwinner.

Smith was huge in the first half, didn't notice him as much in the latter.

Salem is all class, but we knew that. 

Jones and Viney the usual. 

Oliver was good and did freakish things.

Garlett had a heap of assists. Very unselfish game.

HOGAN! Four goals five marks.

Vince was our second biggest ballwinner, but I hardly noticed him. 

Tracca was solid but needs more ball. 

Wagner injured. Looked like a knee from here. He overextended trying to impact a marking contest and landed really badly. 

Have we worked out a decent set play when we need to kick the ball in from a behind?

We have had  quite a few long years in the last decade so I look forward to along year of wins in 2017.

So, for what it's worth, my take:

1.  No stars;

2.  Spencer and Smith provided all the right signs;

3.  Somewhat contradictory to the above, we were more dominant with big Max in the ruck;

4. That was the reigning premiers we just played, so that's got to be worth something.

All the right signs at this time of year, which is certainly better than the wrong ones.

On an aside.... I am amazed that betting is allowed on what is a practice game with no obligation on the coach to try and win.

It's worth noting that this wasn't their B side this time. I don't know if they had some of their first side out, but most of the big names looked to be there. No Bont I think. Even so, we had more names sitting it out than they did.
