Interesting. 

 

No Match Review? Could be some Leigh Matthews-type hits behind play

    A bit strange the clubs involved in tonight’s game didn’t provide any score updates or reports for their supporters. Wonder if it was an AFL directive as the broadcasters were trialling some TV tricks. 

    I guess the scores don't really matter but still strange that there was no vision from either clubs. We often get vision from training from clubs and/or journos even if just from their iPhone.

    Not 100% sure Andy, I thought I read somewhere the media wasn’t allowed in last night’s scratch match due to the trialling from the broadcasters. Might explain the lack of vision from the journos.

    I agree that Hibberd is likely to be the one carried over, although the difficulty is that I'd like to see everyone get a run to push for selection. Weiderman needs to have a big crack in this scratch match, demand a spot back in the team. In round one we had an Essendon delisted player come in in front of him and now a 1st year player, if that doesn't motivate him then nothing will.

    I assume this will be held without crowds. I would be nice if we could have at least one Demonlander admitted to provide us with score updates and some narrative. Any volunteers?

    Makes sense. The fewer players we have on the ground to stuff it up the better!

    considering how many we had in from our 2019 best 22 it doesn't surprise me

    Does not fit the 'pot the club at every opportunity' narrative.

    Carlton tweeted there will be a report on the match on their official site tomorrow. Could be the same for us.

    Josh Mahoney on Before the Bounce reported:

    Weideman And Brown both kicked 5-6 goals

    AvB and Hannan played the whole game

    Good for Brown's accuracy & Weid's confidence levels (he's shown what he can do, now he just needs to back himself week after week).

    Great to hear AVB got through the whole game (and hopefully unscathed)!

    Interesting re weid. Im not a fan but Id love t see him step up and at least make Jackson work really hard to keep his spot. The trouble is that these scratch matches really give very little real indication of how a player would fare in 18 a side games. So the step up will be huge for players between the levels. Strange times.

    The biggest problem with Sam I think is confidence. He has shown he can perform, he just needs a major boost of confidence.
