Far too many reserve grade midfielders in this side. Top ups could easily win this which says it all

We have some very poorly skilled players. Geary, Saunders, Acres, Wright and probably a few more.
Yep, agree.

Worst of all 3 of them were recruited in the last 3 years.

I don't know why they redrafted Saad. Looks a liability.

Con Gorozidis · Sat 07 Mar 2015 5:31pm

Focus on the +ves.
Seb Ross = gun.
Dunstan = gun.
Hugh Goddard= will be a player for sure.
Bruce = have we found our permanent third fwd?
Jacks back !
Acres - building. Building.

Have my doubts on Saunders

+1. Good honest trier, but not much more.

My god Saunders is atrocious by foot. Just horrendous.

Stephen Theodore · Sat 07 Mar 2015 5:32pm

Good first half from Jack.

Wonder if Perfectionist is watching

And to think that we expected big things from Pelchen's drafting!

As much as I like geary his kicking is appalling.

You do have to wonder what the recruiters are seeing with a few of these players mentioned.

Going about as expected I would think. Hopefully we get confidence out of it and no injuries. Cant see much else we can get out of the game. Essendon are a VFL side as expected.

My thoughts on Geary are well known, so no need to labour the point. Cannot carry players with such glaring weaknesses.

Seb looks very neat, plays within his limitations. Acres finds the ball well and should use handball more. Mccartin gets in great spots. Jack Steven is far and away our best player. Daylight behind him out there.

I agree, Con. It's never been his strong suit, but that kick just prior to half time beggared belief. With no one around him, he kicked it straight to a doper, who did not have a saints player within 20 metres of him. I honestly think it must be a deficit in attention rather than skill. I think Gears is important to us, but he continues to be an advantage and a liability in equal measure.

White Winmar · Sat 07 Mar 2015 5:45pm

What about Joey? What a gun and he's been doing it for ten years. Quality plus. Why can't it rub off on others?

Can somebody tell me a score?
+ any goal kickers, best, stats, etc
How's CJ doing?

The Fireman · Sat 07 Mar 2015 5:48pm

I hope we keep up our level of disposal by foot for the whole season , was awesome last week as well , we will definitely Aquire number one draft choice for next season

Bunk_Moreland · Sat 07 Mar 2015 5:48pm

Wow - came over here to read what was being written, biggest bunch of whining and negativity I have never read.

Yes our disposal has been ordinary, but it improved in the second quarter.

Essendons game plan is to play close in the back half and try to score on the break. Chapman torpedoing it says it all.

Make a scrap of it was their only chance.

As they get tired the Saints should run over them pretty easily.

But I do agree they need to improve their disposal efficiency. Turnovers aren't hurting here, but against a real team will kill us stone dead.

It is a practice match after all and there are plenty of youngens out there

The Fireman · Sat 07 Mar 2015 5:49pm

20 Ess 41 saints

Thanks Fireman,
I could, of course, go to the live stream on afl.com, I just realised.

Austinnn · Post: # 1532807Post **Austinnn** » Sat 07 Mar 2015 5:51pm

How's Jholmes going? He's up near the top of the stats sheet on all website.

Steady on about canning our players disposals til they've played a few more games.

saint-stu · Post: # 1532808Post **saint-stu** » Sat 07 Mar 2015 5:53pm

Holmesy quite good. Kicked a goal on the run! :O

Also noticed him take a nice defensive mark.
