Set down for 1400 at Willi, just when the seniors are on at the MCG. Not optimal.

On paper the team does not look bad. Our rucks stocks for this game have improved with Phillips being available while Kennedy adds depth and strength to the midfield in the mud at Willi.
Give the firsts a run for their money ;)
I do note with disappointment that Marchbank was not selected. That is a disappointment, as it would also give him a chance to find some real form.
Kennedy and SOS had good ones. SOS kicked 3, not bad seeing we kicked all of 5 for the whole game, and was our best player. Midfield might suit him. Not sure what Kennedy ended up with but had 22 touches at 3/4 time then kicked the first goal of the last qtr.

Kennedy 30, Weitering 22, JSOS 21

I’m kind of glad they’re giving him plenty of time to get his ankle right. Our second half of the season with a fit Marchbank, Murphy, Williamson and maybe Pickett is going to be a lot better I think.

Not to mention Weitering who should be back next week.

Will we be better? I think so but, if we were to get a few wins in the mean time with the current group, we will get some continuity. Would that continuity be broken when you start bringing in players? Dunno. Anyway small steps, lets try for a few wins in a row first.
Better players for NBs were the ones you wanted.... Weeters, Polson, Phillips, JSOS, Kennedy etc

Great news
Ben Cavarra of Willy is a small but very smart FP, staggered he hasnt been rookied by somebody. Has AFL level nous.

Good to hear. Hopefully Weiters will get his mojo back and Jack will emerge as on of those coal face players we need! :)

I'm not really happy at the idea of losing, but the improvement in the 2nd half is something to work on.

I was hoping, with 3 ruckmen to our name, that we would control the centre. That does not seem to be the case, although the form of Polson, Kennedy and Silvagni suggests we were not dreadful there.
That Dunell kicked 5 goals is very disappointing.
