Demon Dynasty

Pretty much zero impact im afraid Culley showed something in patches. Like the way he goes about it. I'm guessing he's probably a fair way away from building a tank / match fitness that will see him capable of handling AFL level. He'll get a call up at some point and will be exciting to watch when he debuts. He's a big boy and his height makes him a super versatile player who will be a difficult match up. Can easily be thrown up forward to shake things up and worry the oppo too, which was trialled today for a stint. Sestan pretty good aside from a few costly turnovers in the last Q. On that game McVee looked super rusty. Got his hands on it a bit in the second half but much of it was chip kicking and switching around back. Having said that he could play next week regardless. Bonner & Kent both pretty good. Don't mind Hardie. Doesn't rack them up but pretty good quality. Baldi, Cross & Smith all worked their bums off against the tide with a few ordinary moments mixed in at times, which can happen, even to the best. The absence of Campbell hurt imho. And Casey still hasn't found an answer to the loss of moose Munro who was the glue and engine room at CBs and stoppages for so many seasons. A few are trying hard but it's a big hole to fill.

There is no niggle or any physical issues with Rooh. It's just form and confidence unfortunately

Choco wants to see a 5 goal quarter

Best passage of play there so far from us. More run and link up needed from defence against the wind vs too many standing around and ball carier trying for precision kicks into the wind. Kirkwood's disposal ..bah

To have any chance of winning this they'll need to leave AJ in as the main ruck and change with Verral (for the chop out) off the bench or rest Verral forward if Rooh needs the odd break

Shocking kick from Kirkwood for the turnover goal

Bill could've taken a few more steps and really opened that checkside up

Verral losing most of the CBs unfortunately. GWS cleaning up better at ground level as well for the majority of clearances

Verral did ok at the bounce but then coughs up what he shouldn't ... GWS capitalise

Culley is a big unit ...fingers crossed he can bring something as the season progresses

Messaging.. harder, halfing more contests, forwards were too forward of ball, correct that. Win it and start driving legs out and connect

Siren couldn't come soon enough Looked alot better in that last 5 min or so with AJ taking stoppages and his attack on ball carrier at ground level in back half Sesto got better as quarter went on Bonner also with Baldi getting involved. GWS's transition out of defence looked too easy at times for mine. F50 pressure not great soon as ball hits the deck

Breeze has picked up...5 goals or so

Verral struggling at CBs so far

Nice grab and hit up from Fritta to AJ for our first

2 to 3 goal wind from left to right here

Culley clearance to Bill to Rooh out the back for the missed set shot

Kent off HB

Roy boy woot

Hope you haven't mozzed him Norm. He has to run out first

That FB line looks as good as or even a tad better on paper than the seniors.

Nice work Joffa 👏

Or a few different ones do

Didn't WC start well against Brisvegas as well?

Early days and a big call but is there a chance Turner could become our version in a season or two?
