Lemmey is still very much a work in progress. He wasn't bad as a defender, but he doesn't have the attack on the ball that I want to see.
Dom Akuei is cooked.
Surely we need to give Binns a game?Only if he earns one by forcing his way into the team. Having said that, I thought he was better in attacking the contested ball in today's match than I have seen previously - even if he did go missing for a significant part of the second half.
allowed the Adelaide forwards far too much space.Credit the Cows' game plan and the lack of pressure on kickers from our midfielders (without Cerra).
Walker seems to have Weitering beaten between the ears.
bringing in Pitto only weakened TDK (selection table stuff-up)
Cincotta had a good game in the middle in the 2's and might come in for Elijah....or as sub.
Looking at the replay, I was really pleased by Cincotta's game in the middle. He was our only effective mid on the day, although the kids tried hard enough. His long kicking deep into the forward 50 would have been brilliant if there had been a target to hit and his ability to tackle and smother in the middle was pleasing.
I can't say that all of Pitto's kicks were that great, but he clearly had an edge over 2 highly rated kids and used it.
Billy Wilson impressed running out of defence, but he needs a lot of work on how to out-body an opponent: that was a clear weakness in my eyes. His overhead work needs a lot of work. His kicking didn't always hit the target either, but it was his first real game in our colours.
Akuei and Lemmey didn't impress me. The North forwards took big marks, and our defenders were not stopping them. Both of them need a lot more work on how to outbody an opponent. They need to be watching what Weitering does and initiating body contact.
Binns was really good early, but drifted out of the game. he had 17 possessions to half time, and 25 for the game.
HTF Fantasia keeps getting a game is beyond me. The photos must be incriminating.
Pressure excellent and persistent
Hats off to tackling coaching - a BIG YES
Without the footy is the thing that’s hard to get elite level talent to buy into. They’ve always been good players, quality juniors or whatever.
So to go at 200 [pressure rating] yesterday, they’ve only done that eight times in five years. So that to me shows they don’t just want to beat a poor opposition… they want to crush them without the footy.
That’s a real statement.”
Still fails to chase back with anything like the acceleration he uses when he has the ball - won't be missed by me.
Fisher got plenty of the ball but doesn't kick it more than 30m and got caught on his wrong side plenty of times.
