South beat Port 11.17 to 10.5 at ALberton today.
Both teams looked quite rusty. Port had a lot of players in teh stands....probably only fielded 4-5 senior players.
Port started off better and had a few goal lead during the first half before it got wittled away by halftime. South looked the much better side in the second half and continuously attacked during the third quarter. Last quarter saw both teams kick a goal or two with South running away in the end.
Magpies players reviews:
Munn - Was forced to ruck all day after Butler injured himself and looked serviceable. Looks more suited to a key position than ruck. Very rugged.
Burns - Kicked 2 goals but didnt really do a hell of a lot more than that. Maybe 10 touches for the day.
Ebert - Started up forward, kicked a great rovers goal then hardly touched it. Moved into midfield for 2nd half and got a fair bit of it without being brilliant.
Matthews - A quick tallish player that played off the wing and then at Full Forward. Kicked a goal, got a few kicks. May play a few games during the year.
Cam Ilett - Looked quite good early. Kicked 2 goals. Fell out a bit but did impress. He is one of my picks to have a break thru year this year.
Ricky O - had about 15 touches without doing too much with them.
J Wilson - had about 25 touches in the first half before having a quite one in the second. One of our best.
Wakelin - just did enough and didnt do much more. Didnt look like he wanted to be out there. Didnt do much else other than spoil.
DePasquale - Played the whole game in midfield and hardly saw him get a kick.
P Mann - my second pick for break thru kid. Looks very good. Didnt get a lot of the ball but has that raw talent that makes you understand why he trained with the power in the off season.
White - played well early but spent a lot of time on the bench.
Lees - good pick up from WWT. Has a lot of talent and looked very composed in defence. May end up playing Round 1.
AhChee - Probably Ports best in the end. Started well in defence then played excellent at CHF. Kicked 2 goals i think and would have taken 8-10 marks.
Mitch Andrews - This kid was impressive in defence. Tall lanky defender who played quite well in the first half and was for some reason benched for most of the second.
Burdett - Didnt seem to do much.
Eichner - failed up forward and had a bit of it in defence.
Butler - big kid but hurt his back in the first 2 minutes and didnt come back on.
Davis - very smooth. Had about 18 touches and would have been in our top 5.
Ashley - didnt do a lot.
Lohde - Composed in defence in the second half.
Biacsi - did a few nice things on a forward flank. Very small.
Jacques - Average. Wont make it.
Poulton - didnt do much
