The best thing about Brown is goal kicking accuracy, you know he'll bob up for a couple a game either because of a good lead-up or free kicks with his size.
He didn't have a tonne of impact around the ground but 3.0 was huge for us.
Thought it was a pretty strong game across the board.
We gave up some momentum early in second through sloppy play forward/back, but never looked in serious trouble.
Roo was a little quiet on the stat sheet but I thought he competed really well around the ground in his 2nd ruck stints, and...
Agree our leaders need to lift, only Viney and May performed to required level Thursday.
The rest were average.
That said, players that aren't going to make the grade going out is better for us.
Hore in for Tommo.
Fullarton in for Schache.
Fair enough mate, I didn't see Oliver as costing us the game.
I thought that our lack of competitive effort up forward and the Swans being cleaner around the ball was a bigger impact.
Maybe you just need to re-asses your expectations mate?
He has to get fitter but there were plenty who showed less intent who had full pre-seasons.
I'd rather have him ready to go in 3 weeks than playing 4 games in the VFL and needing another 3 to get ready at AFL level.
Sparrow is a good solid professional AFL role player, need plenty of those.
He looked, athletically, to have some scope as a power/endurance player but he doesn't look like he's quite got there yet.
Very happy to have him in the team as an all round player with solid skill, physicality and effort.
Agree with you as well, but time will tell how long it takes him to make good decisions at AFL level.
Doesn't look to be a great touch kick, but definitely neat at short range - and some explosiveness longer range.
Yep, agree with you mate.
There looked to be enough tape to show him as being a good competitor, seems strange that we would judge 18 year old kids on how they can articulate competitiveness vs. actions?
Should be able to get at least one, which I feel is a priority given they both look like they could be elite for their position.
I don't feel that Watson, Sanders are going to be elite per position (unless we consider Watson a small forward only, and we already have some pretty good ones of those).
Interesting mate!
For me;
Don't see North picking needs @ 4
Hope we don't bid on Croft.... not sure he's worth the risk in first round
I'd prefer Sanders or O'Sullivan to Caddy, but admittedly haven't followed this cohort very closely.
Tend to agree mate.
Interested in if they might take a look at Watson, but can't go wrong with quality mids.
Durs & McKercher seems pretty likely from afar.
Do we actually know for sure what happened yet?
I'm seeing references to drugs, alcohol, but nothing I've seen in any media or statement confirms that.
Suggest a few need to pull their heads in, or get a job with Tom Morris.
