Does anyone know how Smith performed?

Two Rivers. One I assume is McVee who does quietly destroy opponents!

McVee a lock in the top 10 in the B&F. I wouldn't be surprised if he is top 7 or top 8.

Bit tough on Bill Laurie who came on late in the third and had 9 touches (4 contested), 2 inside 50's and 4 score assists.

He was great.  Right man at the right time

Laurie had 9 touches, 4 score involvements and 2 assists in a quarter and a bit. I thought he was good when he came on.

No goals, 7 disposals, 5 tackles, 3 marks, 206 metres gained. I thought he did well today, applying pressure. Bit tough to measure a crowded forward line on the small SCG.  But I am a bit of an optimist and barrack for all of them.

Yes I know it’s very inconsiderate of me, and obviously it’s music to the ears of many, but now is the opportunity  for any budding 3 worded trainees to give it a go and open up a whole new career for a week..

joeboy - pulled the rug!

Salem worked his way into it. Pivotal in the last quarter.

Also covered by Pink in more recent times.

Alice was Alice Liddell, who urged Charles Dodgson ( Lewis Carroll) to write the story of Alice in Wonderland.

Bit harsh only a 2nd or 3rd game (after injury in his first). O thought he did not look overawed and shwoed a lot of potential (and I am not his Aunty!!)

Bill Laurie has shown enormous improvement. Give him a few more games and he will be very handy

I dont think it was too harsh at all

He was "Fumbly on ccasions"!

I noticed he had a lot of clever touches in not much space.  Possibly too willing to hand the ball off to better credentialled team-mates, but you often see that with guys just finding their feet.  If he starts to back himself in a bit more he'll be more eye-catching.

To be precise I included an earlier ,"bang" to set the scene.........gap......"bang bang."

Which made it 3 words.to be even more precise I might have needed 5 words .

Is that OK  with you?

Very good appraisal
