Dempsey pace, jump and agility really stand out. You can tell he is raw but is showing much more than most. If he has the footy smarts he could be a terrific AFL player.

I think there's already good signs that he's got the smarts. Whether he gets big enough and strong enough will be the telling factors for him.

 

[Two Planks]

Watching Stevens and Ling use the ball well out of defence is a pleasant change.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Ling looks promising

What is the story with Toby Conway?

 

[terry_bright]

Feely has been great coming off half back.

What is the story with Toby Conway?

James Willis (knee), Toby Conway (hip), Sam Simpson (concussion) and Flynn Kroeger (hip) all continue to progress through their respective programs.

 

[goyoucatters]

Shannon hadn't had many clean touches earlier on. But he was more influential in that quarter. Shot at goal was up to the standard of last night's forwards as well.

Ling has played a really neat game down back. Unflustered and chooses good options. Great pick-up for our inexperienced group.

Ollie's fly at the end of that quarter was another reminder that there could be something really special lurking there. It might be a wild ride but I think he's going to chalk up a highlights reel, at one level or another.

Bombers look ordinary, and injuries are decimating their squad at this point. But you can only beat the team in front of you. Just hope we don't replicate the senior team's Round 2 performance after a training gallop against the Dons first up.

 

[Drunkcat]

A few young kids look ok just not for this year, maybe only Stephens and Stevens will get games

 

[dazbroncos]

Neale flashing at times too

Go Catters

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Can I blame autocorrect??

Once and only once.

[dazbroncos]

Neale and Dempsey good again

GO Catters

 

[dazbroncos]

Be good if Neale got at least 1 uncle chop chop on the arms.

wow

GO Catters

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Don't think Gryan will be in the ressies for long.

Thanks AV.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Looks like the cue is in the rack.

 

[terry_bright]

Umpires doing their best to drag Essendon back into this

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Ceglar been off for a while, so probably means he's no chance for next week.
Didn't think Narkle, Stephens, Evans have done enough to say they should be in the team.

 

[catempire]

Neale

 

[dazbroncos]

Get games into Neale.... can play.

Go catters

Don’t think he was a chance anyway.
As bad as our rucks are, he needs a few weeks in the twos.

Needs to tidy up his disposal.

A lot more involved in the game than he was last year which bodes well.

 

[goyoucatters]

Neale

Great to see a quality finish like that after shanking the earlier shot from straight in front. Really hope he builds into getting some senior games later in the year. Still looks an exciting prospect to me.

As bad as our rucks are, he didn't look any better.

First game back, of course. But if he's going to roughly go at that level, he's far from the answer that some here have been suggesting he might be.

Which is hardly surprising, of course. Once a journeyman, always a journeyman.

 

[thejester]

Only saw the first half but easy to see why the coaches were so impressed with Whyte. He looks like he can seriously play...and interesting that the first choice midfield at centre bounces seemed to be Whyte, Stephens and Narkle.

 

[Drunkcat]

They must be easing Stephens in he spent a lot of time on the bench in 2nd half and he cramped up
