Apparently Sir Scott, Brodie and Licca :)confused:) are playing in this game!! All up 6 senior listed players.

Can't wait to see the boys at North Hobart...

I heard the same thing, where? I can't recall as I have been reading everything I can get my hands on of late. Those proficient with google... do your thing.
 
Reported in the Hobart Mercury this morning:

"The pies will play 2008 senior captain Scott Burns, on the way back from injury (back), Brodie Holland, Paul Licuria, Ben Johnson, Sean Rusling and Alan Toovey."
 
Chances are that Dyas would be playing. Can't imagine he's play round 1 for Collingwood.

He'd be starting the year in the VFL, so he may as well learn to play with the VFL list ASAP.
 
Carmody, Colbert, Crow, Frost, Jurrah, McDonald, Nicholls, Oldmeadow, Hogan.

They appear to be the first sign of confirmed VFL squad signings. Not sure who some of them are, but you'd imagine since they're playing in the practice match AFTER the VFL list lodgment, they're probably on the squad.

Just got home from the game.

Rusling was a class above. Led well, was too strong for his opponent. Ended up with 5, and missed a couple as well. His kicking was quite good though. Also set up one or two others.

McAffer kicked 2 goals. Both in the first term. Looked decent.

Toovey wasquite good. Got a fair bit of the ball and used it quite well. Has a pathetic excuse for a beard though.

Ben Johnson was good all day. Kicked the final 2 goals of the match, both great goals on his left.

Thoolen was very very poor in my opinion. Did very little.

Cox showed a fair bit of class when he got the ball. Didn't strike me as a negater at all though. DOn't think he ever will be either.

Dyas fumbled a few and I didn't see him get much of the ball to be honest. I think he kicked a goal though.

Burns was Burns. Worked hard all day and was one of our best.

Holland was solid.
 
I was also at the game, and I think Rusling kicked 6...

Burns had some good run, but also got caught holding the ball a couple of times due to poor decision making, looked a little rusty to me.

BJ got better as the game progressed and Cox was quite good running the ball out of the backline. McAffer was very busy all day.

I'd have to agree on Thoolen, looked a little out to see, which is a worry in a VFL praccy. Dutchy was ok. Licca was the same little 18 tearing in and out of packs.

Joffa was posing for photos and posturing about the place as per usual.
 
Collingwood won by 56 points by the way, and Rusling did kick 6 and McAffer 3.

Some of the non-AFL listed players were quite impressive. Nicholls was his usual busy self. Kris Pendlebury did some good things in defence and Liam Jarrah shows some promis.
 
Jarrah lloked very good up forward. Didn't look great down back in the last quarter.

He slotted a lovely goal from the boundary line in the third quarter I think.

By the way did anyone else see that crazy man who was talking complete gibberish while walking around the fence? Couldn't stop laughing.

It's Jurrah - Not Jarrah, despite what the article in The Age said.

He's that token old (not all there) bloke for the glenorchy footy clubs..He's always at KGV when the pies play...

Agree with everyones reports..had to leave at through the 3rd quarter for work, but what i could see, Johnno was one of our best, rusling look effing awesome: he has got wicked hands, sometimes he had perfect leads 20m directly in front, but the young vfl players failed to look around...could've ended up with a lot more.

Jarrah looked awesome..sign him up! Got a wicked vertical leap!

It was a bit hard for Dyas to make an impact being down back in a one sided game, he's a great thinker, and has good hands (took a beaut mark in the first), but can't actually remember him kicking a ball all game!!

Toovs actually looked decent..I think VFL is more his game:D

Overall, Rusling is an exciting prospect!!!!
