Zac has been the big surprise to me I'm happy to admit...judged him too harshly at Hawthorn on the evidence available but has shown great character and has the ability to develop into a rock in our backline for years to come...

Love the way he's applied himself and has grasped his chance and seems to be getting plenty of encouragement from the players and the coaches.
Sometimes appears to be moving at glacial speed but is obviously quicker than than appears. Would like to see him give off to the first option he sees more often. Great pick up by the Saints, plugged a hole in need.

Whether Zac gets replaced by Max or not.....we now know that Zac is capable of being our Full Back fo many years.
The pieces in the puzzle are all being put in place foa team capable of playing good footy for many years.
Just have to find that "third" forward now......and the young Lynch is looking very promising.

I thought he was exceptional today, in our best 8 atleast.
I feel he has been overrated so far this season but IMO tonight was by far his best game, he was good defensively and had some confidence and swagger with the ball which was great to see, we could have another Gilbo/ Sam Fisher on our hands afterall
As for the Akermanis surprise, I am amazed it wasn't a 50m penalty, he was about two meters away from him...

For me there were 2 things I really liked about Dawson's game against the doggies:
1) There was no straight up opponent for him, so he needed to strike the balance between running off and picking up a man (typically Minson when forward). He needed to take the recent build in confidence to run off his man to another level and be actively dangerous and an option.
He was, kudos to him.
2) Balancing the above, he needed to provide a strong defensive presence against a different kind of forward line.
He did, kudos to him.
He's made himself very difficult to leave out of the side, even for a fullback as accomplished as Max Hudghton. Given he played up front for Box hill last year, it's left me wondering whether he may keep his spot in some way shape or form even once Hudghton returns.
Both the experienced acquasitions of the off season have been fantastic pickups.
