His kicking was really poor, he found the ball a lot. Seem to get too close to opponents before kicking, needs to pull the trigger quicker His kicking was excellent other than his his goal kicking. When he was hitting up targets through the middle it opened Collingwood up. To suggest differently is...

Wally - I didn't pay particular attention to starting positions/opponents sorry - presume Roo was wing Thanks for the write up! Were the players that'd potentially be in the 'best 22' spread between both teams? No worries, feels like I missed as much as I observed! :) More 1st 22 on the blue team - ...

well he didn't look quite as stylish as in the avatar but he was definitely there, didn't stand out but wasn't really looking for him, pretty known quantity

Carlisle didn't catch spiral3's eye, but he seems to have caught both tony74's eye and ear ("very vocal"). Interesting. Good reports by the way - it's always hard to take everything in, I guess. yeah, not saying he was no good, just didn't really jump out at me and I wasn't really watchin...

got down to training today and caught the intraclub, along with a couple of others, good to watch. seemed like around 15min quarters with Leigh Fisher and another ump officiating as Tony said, the contest was pretty tough, some good hits and endeavour. skills a bit hit and miss Darragh Joyce got sma...

cheers Tony

it was far more pleasant standing under those little gum trees Tony (apart from a million mozzies!)

Freeman ok Tony, just a low key day?

I had a bit of a look today, although only for about an hour not a lot to report from the bits I watched closely, many players on the far side of the ground and was with my young daughter Freeman running laps, and a longer run on the park track. Seemed to be running fine, bandage on one calf. As Yip...

got down to training today and stayed around for a couple of hours I'm no expert and there is a lot happening, multiple groups and generally at a fair distance from where I was standing but here were some observations for what they're worth light duties (laps and shorter runs) Roo, J Steele, Savage,...

thanks Tony, hope to get down there tomorrow, haven't been for ages! hope it's ok to take a few pics Hope you were there, I could only spot 3 people today ( and no dog! ) yeah Tony, made it down, nice day for it caught a couple of hours, will post some thoughts later I was the bloke with the beard ...

borderbarry, I think he meant that he was running strongly
pretty sure his bro at Collingwood does very well in the 3km

Brandon white is impressing due to his work ethic - he was running hard up the front in that gruelling running drill they did, he is showing good form on the track - played well in match simulation and he looks cut. Developing into a very fit, strong footballer. thanks Yipper, this is great news wi...

happy with Sinclair in 35, there's something about his shimmy in traffic that reminds me of the great man harves just rewatched the game vs Melb early in the year and he did some very nice things (was dropped the next week I think....? (no facts checked)) was a class above in one of the VFL finals a...

and here is the Gresh image that was up for most of the year
I think the work experience kid did this one

pretty poor form, Gresham, White and Rice all had headshots pasted onto other people's bodies for the entire season they do official photos, not hard to upload an image also a bit rude to have delisted players still listed and new recruits missing Putting a headshot onto somebody else's body? Well,...

I really like Jack, when he is up and about he's a very damaging player The lack of confidence at the moment is frustrating, as Griggsy said he's handing off the ball very quickly and not taking the game on. That said he generally gives a reasonable option, to someone in more time and space. Goal ki...

Holmes is a better forward than Longer. Longer is poor in the air... he is very good at crashing his body into Ruck Contests and packs down the line... Ver old fashion ruckman... without the marking ability agree with this, Billy is great in the ruck duel and can lay a big tackle but hardly takes a...

I saw some of the Sandy match on the weekend but was pretty distracted, talking and kid wrangling, didn't really notice Eli that much. Watching his highlights from the game on the saints site most of his kicks seemed to be to no effect. The vision ends after the kick, indicating we didn't retain pos...

Yeah Armo has been a bit disappointing for most of the year. Saw him live earlier in the season and he looked really slow and stiff, no agility. Saw a bit of the Sandy game vs Franga and Nick O'Kearney stood out a bit, worked hard and used it pretty well. I always like DMac, always gives a contest (...

really like the sound of the suitcase, good match for our needs

Spoke well in thei post match vid...used the word pleasing a few times which I thought was funny. his post match interview was great, spoke well but seems to have genuine passion, commitment and a really strong bond to the playing group and the club impressive, keep up the good work on and off the ...
