The 5th Quarter
What positives do we take out of tonights game ?
I thought there were some good signs but the conditions may have hurt some of our players .
Jones , ray , stanley , lane , meister as experienced players were very average .
Webster , wright , templeton , weller , saunders , savage showed they can be in our best 22

Re: The 5th Quarter
How bad were the conditions? I don't take much notice of score in these games,just blowing out the cobwebs really,but with so many youngsters playing it sounds encouraging.....was it?

Re: The 5th Quarter
I thought that for a team with a new coach, lots of new players, and in the wet, we did well. The 1st quarter was terrible, but they responded nicely from the second quarter and fought the game out. The Dogs are more experienced, and have a more settled look about them. So, lots to work on, but some good signs.

Re: The 5th Quarter
The dogs also had a very young side and both sides played in the same conditions.
Us and the doggies are pretty similar .

Re: The 5th Quarter
Bit tough on Meister. Presented well, often outnumbered and suffering from bad delivery. Doesn't hesitate to throw his body in.
Not Ray's night.
This year has got to be Stanley's last chance, how long do you persist with a 200cm athlete when he clearly does not have the skills.
Templeton will be the first one promoted from the rookie list; even before Weller.

Re: The 5th Quarter
I thought Tommy Simpkin was pretty good.
Others I mentioned in another thread: Wright, Dunstan, Savage and Templeton showed a bit.

Re: The 5th Quarter
I'm going to go very very early. Billings was a mistake.
I have a saying about footy players " a good country kid is always better than a good city kid ".
Kew comets/Scotch College = too soft . I dont care that he has 'nice parents'.
We should have gone Scharenberg.

Re: The 5th Quarter
There was a pole vaulter in the 80's and 90's called Sergei Bubka who held the world record for many years.
He would routinely beat his PB and world record a couple of times every year.
I suggest we nominate Con for the Sergei Bubka award for bettering his own previous best,
However hard to see him beating this current prediction anytime soon!

Someone need to tell Chris Judd he is to soft. While they are at it they better tell Lenny Hayes. And Nick Rewoldt.

Going on your theory both Judd and Ball must be too soft as well as they were from private schools and good city clubs.
Have seen Billings play on a number of occasions and he is not soft and if he stays injury free will be a gun. First game in terrible conditions, give the kid a chance for crying out loud.
A champion team will always beat a team of champions.
