I actually suspect it was modelled off this shot, or one similar:
Richy doesn't have a tail though, so it isn't conclusive...
Geez, I love those two photos, but the bottom one is just awesome!....

I think we won the free kick count 18 - 10, so I'm not too concerned. If it was a match for 4 points I'd probably agree with you though. Same rule should apply to Bannister and Carlton.

Leigh is one of the lower ranked umps so he will always be a chance to appear in our generally low rating affairs.
Really interesting how fired up people have gotten over the first pre-season game played against the reigning wooden spooners at a suburban footy ground haha
glad i watched the Quarter by Quarter replay before reading through here haha, so much negativity..
any who, my observations..
Lewy Taylor BOG, his constant play on style is perfect when linked with Rocky, Zorks, Beams and Hanley when back.. he just plays on, finds a target, keeps running, gets it back, finds another target... awesome..
Paps was impressive, his running ability is so noticeable.. bloody gazelle.
Claye is a gun, stoked at his development through injury adversity.. looks a natural backman..
Aish and Mayes quiet, will need them to step it up this year.
Rocky, Reddo and Zorks had shockers and we still controlled the game, thats a great sign..
Merrett is frustrating with disposal but still love the timing with his spoiling, very important..
saw the ruck battle differently to most, thought Archie held his own against Longer and his athleticism is a great canvas to build on..
Luey moved well, and has always been a 'finesse' ruckman so the 'soft' talk was funny.. first preseason game, back from injury and his natural style.. cmon people.
McGrath has some zip about him, loved the smother.
Thought Close presented well and took a couple of good marks, just not ready to be number 1 target..
Robinson looked slow and out of position, prob disappointed me most.. thought with the way he came to the club and training reports, that he would be running through walls to show his intensity.. happy for it to be just a rusty first up thing..
Lester, Mcstay, Mcguane and Stakes are an average group at the moment but have potential to complement each other and go alright.
Green looks so sore after a big hit, 3 or 4 times he got tackled and got up looking sore or limping.. we need him for the season so hope he is fit..
Clarke is potential personified, love the geeky bush kid.
Rich, beast, love him.. confirmed to me that he will still be the best of the 3 R's when their careers play out.

Watched bits again last night. I didn't have huge expectations for Archie, but thought he did a handful of nice things.
Struck me that Claye's got a touch of hard-nosed, mad-dog Bushy Copeland about him, straightening up out of the back half -- only a much better kick. Not a bad thing to be.

Thing I like about Archie, is that he's not shy in making a contest, both on and off the ball. Seemed very eager to present, which generally is a good thing.

Have to agree with these. Was at the game and it might have been the pocket I was sitting in but saw a lot of Paparone coming off half back, Taylor through half forward and was impressed with McGrath after I figured out who he was (other than "This Patfull looking fellow")

I don't think Papa was bad at all. I think he was rusty and made unforced errors he shouldn't have, but his ability to cover the ground meant he made up for some of those errors. He kicked a shocker which ended in a turn over, but made it back before any Saints player could and took a great mark, essentially making up for his error.
The potential is there for him to develop as a backman, but I feel he is best on the wing and swinging through the forward line to take a mark/kick a goal.

Might be given a Mayes 2014 sort of season - playing in defense to build his game. At least til Hanley comes back and we'll be looking good with Rich, C Beams and Hanley off half back freeing Paparone up to play his more natural game

Gee how good does Beams, Rich and Hanley sound off half back. 3 excellent users of the ball.
yeah agree and actually has a useful handball as well. Noticed that in a couple of games last year. Has a bit going for him in my opinion.

LOL, Farren Ray, Jack Billings, Shane Savage and Dylan Roberton have also been sidelined with hamstring injuries from the Nab Cup game against us. Talk about bad luck.
