Docherty, Hewett, Kennedy, Acres, SOS, Charlie, Cerra - Very Good

Hollands, Cowan, Cincotta, Good.

Not too many complaints.

Put a fork in Dow, LOB, Ed and Plowman

Good player but we didnt bother manning him up...pet hate of mine when a player is playing well and you just let him continue hurting you by allowing him to run around on his own.

So based on tonight, the following won't be playing rnd 1:
Ed C
Honey
LOB
Plow
Dow
Owies

The following are on shaky ground
Durdin or Young  will fight of the second tall roll. Young was ordinary
Both rucks didn't impress me which is a worry
Jesse Motlop needs to do a truckload more than that, for a bloke who supposedly had a massive preseason, dunno. Is he struggling with the training load? What will save Motlop is Owies very ordinary performance and C Durdin's injury.
The rest be there about at selection but they'd wanna be better than that as a collective.
Its a preseason hit out at the end of the day, plenty to work on and time to correct it. Ball use better be way better than that v Rich.
No injuries which is a great thing.
Moo and Dutchy will be in very strong contention rnd 1.
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

I have to laugh at the Plowman comments. 

It was a practice match and it was evident that Vossy was trying some different combinations.  In that context, Plow did OK and it was unfortunate that he was pinged for the deliberate out of bounds.  Apart from that, Plow was his usual reliable defender and won a couple of contests against Buddy.

Motlop wouldn't be the first player to suffer from second year blues

Motlop will play every game this season.  Yes, there's still room for improvement, but his form in the practice matches indicates that he's lifted his intensity considerably.  Two huge tackles on Ladhams shows just how gutsy he is.
