Made it down to training today. Did 4 quarters of roughly 20 minutes game time and loved every minute.
Jaeger absolutely dominated out of the middle with good delivery from Ceglar. Wingard everywhere and a cut above, just so full of natural ability.
Denver’s fitness is definitely building and I can’t help but love the kid.
Dylan Moore continues to impress me massively, think he’s in for a big year and has a loud voice out on the ground. Played as a high half forward getting around the ball but also kicked a couple of clever goals.
Tom Phillips looks great, good strength and just knows where to be.
Something seems to have clicked for Nash. I think he looks good out on the ground. Obviously has great running power and has cleaned up his kicking.
It’s so great to see Jarman out there rebounding. Him and Scrimshaw provided a lot of drive from the back line.
Kosi looked good early, very quick for his size and hard at it. Mitch Lewis looked good early too but faded.
Jeka is who I am most excited about out of the tall forward crop we have. Fantastic hands and just has the footy brain. Also very quick for his size and is a great field kick. Hartley tried his hardest at one contest to bump him off course but ended up being the one bumped out by Jeka’s strength.
Brockman was busy early but didn’t see much of him later on.
CJ has pretty much made it impossible for him not to be in the team. Always a stand out contributor and always seems to find a way to get a hand in for the spoil when he really has no right to.
There was a guy I couldn’t pick playing in the number 1 for most of the game up forward. He was really impressive but I’m guessing was a box hill boy.
Bravo looked good with some things he did, worked hard. Callow didn’t have the best delivery to work with when I was keeping an eye on him but competed well.
Downie did a few good things but also torched the ball a couple times going forward.
Excited about what Reeves is showing even as a deep forward when resting. Unfortunately got hurt and went down holding his ankle straight away after a contest though. Don’t think he played on after.
Josh Morris looking fit and strong. Never understood why we were using him as a ‘small’ cause he’s definitely not that but has speed and is hard at the man.
That’s mostly what I took in, I’ll add in anything else I remember.
Agree with all of this except it was 3 x 20 minutes only. They had an additional drinks break at the 10 minute mark of the third quarter. Thought Greaves was really good down back and took the right option each time. Worpel was also very good. Hard to believe he is still such a young player. His voice and directions on the ground is noticeable.
