Referred to as young young on triple m, reminded me of steven greene part 2!
Would have impressed me if after his mistake of kicking to makepeace on the wing put his body on the line and intercept the kick to rocca, but just didn't do it.

Compare this to dixon stuffing up the handball in the second quarter and diving in to make up for his mistake. Also crawford's goal in the last you saw taylor desperate to get to the contest to make up for his previous stuff up, which knocked crawfords opponent out fo the contest and allowed crawford to take the mark.
 
Clint did reasonably average, probably what you'd expect for someone of the rookie list. Could have kicked a nice running goal in the last quarter, but stuffed the kick and it dribbled through for a point.
Bo, showed a little more. nothing to write home about but maybe did enough to get another game, looks quite big on the ground and one good thing was he didn't seem to ******** himself everytime he got tha ball.
Not the worst 2 by any stretch.

Not too bad. Young looked overawed, but thats not all that suprising given he was playing a completely different game plan than he's been used to at Box Hill and he started on a player with the experience of Archer. His pass to set up the goal was brilliant.

He should have nailed that goal on the run, and he generally would at Box Hill, so he just paniced a bit. Confidence will come.

Nixon looked alright. A bit of a 'plain jane' player, but he was strong overhead.

Both should be persisted with for next week.
