He did break his leg last year. Considering how much you run in AFL it's tough on your legs.
Don't worry, he'll hopefully break into the team this year if he's fit.
Taylor Walker (Adel)
Chris Dawes (Coll)
Jesse White (Swans)
Mitch Thorp (VFL)
Justin Westhoff (Port)
MCKINLEY, Ben (WC)
DOWLER, Beau (Hawks)
Rhys Stanley (StKilda)
Ryan GAMBLE (Geelong)
These two look the best, I'd like them in our forward line
I don't mind. He had a good game considering he must've been under pressure playing with Nic Nat and our top two picks from last year who have already showed some great performances. He definitely played better than the Scullgove twins...and Nic Nat just had those two speckies, he stood around for the rest of the game.
I know he wasn't the best, but I was really glad that he played a solid game even though it was talked up a bit. And the way he took it to Schofield really impressed me. I'll be less biased next week, but I thought 'easily top six' and he was the one that caught my eye this week.
There's a good example of the Saints getting pushed around by Essendon last night - they wore their clash strip because Essendon pretty much don't have one.
Every AFL team should have a predominantly white clash strip. Most teams actually do. Essendon, it's time for you to follow suit.
That sounds suspicious. I'm going to go onto the AFL Game Analyzer and see all of the free kicks right now. I'll count the ones that shouldn't have been paid for both teams.
Bartram - not good enough
Bate - injured, don't hate
Bennell - not very efficient
Bruce - saw him once
Davey - one word: FACEPLANT.
Frawley - best defender today?
Garland - top ten today
Green - one isn't enough
Grimes - under hefty pressure
Jamar - tried very hard
Johnson - didn't support Jamar
Jones - pick it up
McDonald - best on ground
Moloney - not so great
Rivers - must play loose
Scully - worked fairly hard
Sylvia - stuffed my Supercoach
Trengove - just not great
Warnock - great defense work
Watts - great contested marks
Hughes - needs more effort
McKenzie - worst game yet
And about Jared Rivers, the only thing he did wrong was letting Kennedy get the first two goals. He's best as a loose defender which isn't how Bails played him.
