    Well what I learned is that was our best win of the season! Brilliant grit, but goal kicking shizzen! Take a bow Clayton, Max. Bowser, Melky And Frittata very good when he came on! BIGGEST SHOUT OUT TO MELKY just brilliant!🤩

    UM I thought Jeffo'o intensity was there, but his 1.g 3 and 1 out on the full did him no favours. Van Rooyen is Horribly out of form and Tholstrup was statless or close to it at half time, but was rushed back to seniors when clearly needed bulk Casey time.I blame the footy dept for the result yesterday.

    Chol gets well held for most of the game, kicks a couple in the last and acts like he's the difference

    Same as last week

    Um we had a chance to get him and I remember saying on this site GO FOR IT!

    VERY UNDERATED PLAYER!

    I don’t think you understand the concept.

    Selection integrity refers to selecting players who are in form and dropping them when they are not. By not selecting players when they deserve a chance to play (Laurie & Sestan for example) you are inhibiting their chances of success. Conversely, by selecting players who are out of form (JVR, Kolt & Oliver) and continuing to play them in the seniors, you see a decline in output and confidence.

    It also sends mixed message to fringe players. What do they need to do, to be selected?

    Now we have a situation where 60-70% if the list is playing below their normal standard and both teams are devoid of confidence.

    Lastly, on the list management, if Goody doesn’t like many of our players and won’t select them, why are they still on the list? Goody has a lot to answer for, with the current predicament we face.

    BUMP THIS 100% CORRECT!

    Long lay off. Not fit enough…

    Players that are injured over pre season should not be rushed.. it clearly doesn’t work. Instead make them do the full program and if it means 2-3 months of the season so be it.

    Yeah but typical Goody.... brings players back UNDERDONE! All down to him!

    Something's not right. When you look at his VFL performances from last year he was regularly getting 20+ possessions, laying tackles, etc. though he has never been one to hit the scoreboard often.

    Could be a wasted year unfortunately, he really needed a full pre-season.

    Maaate somethings not right with the whole club! Some serious decisions need to be made!

    Well I was there today, and you would have to say ideal conditions. A bit of a breeze blowing from the south but not enough to move the ball around so our inaccuracy was too similar to the ones last week but if anything WORSE!

    I'll start with the positives

    Kynan Brown was excellent today and I would be seriously looking to play him next week and give him a block of games

    Woey was also good gets his share of possesions but sometimes doesn't use it well enough

    Sestan did some very good things running of half back and also shouldn't be far away from a call up

    Lever grew in confidence as the game progressed and I would expect him to be back next week

    Howes is too good for this competition, but I'm not sure he is AFL Ready at this stage

    Probably the standout for me was Riley Bonnar, seemed to everywhere and knows how to move seamlessly into and out of play

    Jeffo an almost game, should have kicked at least 3 and also ALMOST took some tough pack marks, he was aggressive and gained a few frees because of it, needs confidence but I thought him OK Today

    Ricky Mentha Junior displayed some class on occasions but was guilty of trying to do a Kozzy.

    NEGATIVES

    The Kolt I dont think had a possesion to half time and did little to enthuse. As others have so rightly said he still lacks match conditioning but again Goody Rushed him back when not ready

    JVR hnmmm I would play him at CHB and see what he can do there!

    Henderson, a wasted pick too slow

    Billings, game has passed him by

    Verral tried hard and kicked a ripper of a goal but still NQT

    Campbell, a reasonably good ruckman but little else,

    Luker Kentfield hnmm little to impress.

    Thats about it!
