Mister Carlton
Better than you.
kinky.
Lot of good signs and glad to see it now looks like we've suddenly got real depth. Mid's would have to be at least top three in the league in terms of quality and depth, especially now when we look at our potential riches in the ruck; defence is now starting to look solid and settled (disappointing Austin didn't play as I believe he could possibly play a cameo role up forward from time-to-time or perhaps even allow Thornton to do likewise: so many options now opening up); have a lot of potential options up forward on paper - just have to experiment a "little"! Hopefully a settled forward-line isn't too far away.
Casboult was a "boult out of the blue"! Thought Fisher, and even Scotland and Houlihan may have been on the way out, but all three played well, particularly Scotland, and putting together a best 22 has suddenly become very difficult!

MJ, my count was Red kicked 9 goals to Yellow's 8.
Red were completely dominant in the midfield and should've made it more.

Thanks. Red had the more dangerous looking forward line. Wish they could have worn their proper no's at least just for the match.

possibly one of the reasons for the quiet day that Setanta had is the intra-club match from last year when he gave Cloke a bit of a working over and gave him the kick up the clacker to be going on with...
So of course he would be a bit quiet and not wanting to put a foot wrong.

I've been reading that people didn't notice Lucas or Davies.. they must've collected all their possies on my side of the ground
Lucas was doing a tremendous job at getting into contests... finding room in narrow spaces and getting the ball out... only negative was his disposal...
Davies didn't touch it too much... but he was playing a defensive role... when he did touch it... he used it well... the boy is a brick..
As for carrots... ive read mixed reviews on here... imo he would be dissapointed in his game... got the ball heaps... but didnt dispose of the ball well
Yarran was not too bad... he was always thinking creative... sometimes it worked... others it didn't... if anything... i think it was good seeing him around the ball more often
Betts was running all day... really fit looking... but played very deep
Hammo was imo the most impressive thing to come out of yesterday... not only is his marking improved... his kicking was superb
Casboult looks massive... and did really good things... especially with marking the ball... kicking will need work on
Donaldson i thought was all really good... has speed, height, leap and also control below his knee... i liked what i saw...
Robbo has a penetrating kick now... something i didnt really see last year... he looked alot more in control when he had the ball...
tex's kicking was a highlight... so was scotto and gibbs...
grigga was yes one no the other... but was very impressed with the leadership he showed
Warnock literally did nothing wrong... he took a strong courageous mark... and looked really good
Sauce's work around the ground was also a highlight for me... his disposal and marking is good...
Hadley was good in the in and under stuff... but a couple of his kicks were deplorable...
when ever the ball was in the hendo area... he got to it... i think he had a good game... but he was quiet...
number 21 was really good at finding space... and marking... but really bad kicking at goal

On a few occasions we caught glimpses of what a powerful runner Davies is. He isn't lightning, but a powerful strider and moves beautifully for 191cm.

Also would like to note on Hendo, that a week ago he wasnt going to play in the first intra club match...so I wouldn't be too worried that he didn't kick a bag.

Warnock's size was the one that stood out after I looked at UJ's photos.
Knockers looks bigger through the chest.
Almost Justin Madden size and massive.
Impressive handeye co-ordination and mobility if you look at his pass to Tiller in that bluetube09 video.
Ten to one on that Judd ran away with the ball.

I was shocked with Warnock's size. Has come a long way from the thin rake he was last year.
Was unsure of him but he's got me very excited now.

Man, the numbers thing was one of the stupidest things I've ever, ever seen.
I understand that they might not've had much time to get them printed with the new logos and everything.
But every player wore a number at that match, so why not have them wearing their correct number?
No number at all would've been less confusing.
Iron on numbers would've sufficed for the purposes.
I wonder if it was to do with heights... (i.e. Eddie wearing #1 through to Kreuze with #43)
Another administrative shambles by that sector of the club.

I remember people asking during the pre season in regards to Hampson's height. He stands at 204cm, only two cm's shorter than Warnock at 206.

Don't think Gibbs is our second shortest...
