Any possibility of getting some feedback on Close's first game for the club. Where was he played, first impressions etc... ?
Play 'em again in 11 days. Could be a tasty affair.
Irel, Close was forward early and back late. A few touches (the footy didn't spend much time down his end after the break). Just seemed to be feeling his way.

Close also seemed to be rested on the bench reasonably regularly compared to others. But that might be just because I was paying more attention to it for him than others.

Cheers, I have him pegged as perhaps Browny's replacement come 2014. Here's fingers crossed Kerr's recruiters got this one correct.
Was amazed to see doc playing through the centre and extracting ball after ball .. thought he was a backman

The suns had access to far more talent than we ever have and they've now had 3 years development so I wouldnt expect we'd see results like that.
For those that watch regularly over the years, obviously it would be a combination of both but is it more the coaching or the players we're drafting?

I think we spent a good part of last year getting him use to playing onball to.
And by all reports, I have no problem with him playing that role.
Prior to the incident, how is Wearden tracking? Greatly interested to see how he develops given his status as a long term project.

I personally think he's been going ok. Seems to be mainly playing as a floating tall in and around our back line. Gets loose on the wing occasionally for a few touches.
Not knocking down the door for selection but think he's quite a handy player for us (in the 2s at least).

Elevate Cal! Would be a nicely timed reward for effort and could spur him on to go up even another level.
C'mon Vossy, light Cal's fire!

I just tweeted Voss saying that I'd mow his lawn if he elevates Cal.
Everyone else should make a similar offer. Any plasterers here? How about carpenters? Vossy could use a new deck.

The dim impression I'm getting from the reserves is that we're running other teams off the park. For example, Paparone taking 15 marks suggests someone for the Suns was struggling to go with him.
We've really focussed on endurance the last couple of years, and it's good to see that being reflected at least in the reserves' performances.
Endurance will be a big factor this weekend against the Roos, as will our ability to rebound from the backline. A bit of extra pace from any of Docherty, Karnezis or Bartlett would be helpful.

I'll clean his pool. Can't tweet it but happy for you to let him know.

We could use some ball magnets in the seniors in the middle.
Having Docherty, Bartlett, and Paparone dominating in the reserves has me very excited! Makes it hard for me to keep the lid on my hope for them to come into the senior side for a debut. Karnezis and Harwood in for Polec and Yeo this week. Maybe blood some vs the Demons in Round 5.
Doc must get a game this week. Wouldn't mind seeing him replace either Golby or Yeo.

I'd still have Harwood ahead of Doc.
Has Docherty been playing in more of a midfield role? Any chance he could replace Polec if he doesn't come up?

Would just be part of Doc's development. I would doubt he would go near the middle in the seniors, his way into the team will be via HB. But he is a player that will be able to eventually work his way from HB into the middle, and that starts by giving him some time there in the 2nds. It's good to see our midfield for the reserves playing well after losing all the mature big names last year.
Played mostly up back as an 18 year old. Always had potential to step in the midfield and it seems that's the clubs eventual plan on where he will end up.
