Just got back from the game... and, yes. You could see him gradually increasing his intensity as the game wore on. No brainer that he will front up for the seniors next week.
Ground out a good win. Pretty dreary game at times, but well done by the NBs to beat their much better fancied opponents.
I thought Cachia was probably bog closely followed by Graham.
Graham - as per usual got plenty of the aggott and has obviously been working on his disposal... much better though still a few of the sticking on the boot and hoping for the best. He was influential and continued to get where the ball is at! A good skill for a midfielder. Showed more grunt in and under as well.
Cachia - although he fluffed a few disposals his body work in tight was really strong and effective.
Watson - probably his best game for the year. Actually took marks! Did some nice things and will probably feature in the better players. Slow start though. And still too bloody slow over the grass and in between the lugholes.
McInnes - improved as the game wore on but a shadow of his former self.
Blaine Johnson - pretty quiet really. Not much influence on the game.
Sheehan - if he continues to improve as he is, should get a senior gig before the year is out. Liked his hard work and attack on the aggott.
Byrne - the 'other Ciran' is behind Sheehan in terms of development but he is coming along nicely. Has poise and kicks well on the run/to position. Tightens up, though, when kicking for goal and sprays them. Casboult syndrome?
Temay - hopeless in contests requiring positioning, but did dispose of the aggott well and was serviceable after half time, until then he was the incredible invisible man.
Wood - serviceable and did his job.
Buckley - did some good things and his dash was damaging. Appeared to get injured but reappeared. Good effort.
Reynolds - plenty to work with here. Positions himself well, showed composure under pressure and is pretty damn accurate with that left foot.
(Giles didn't play),
Holman - is getting better at understanding the defensive stuff. Again started off half back. Did some good things but also a few turnovers hurt us. Learning well.
Lucas - hard to believe he had 25 possessions.
Apart from Judd, Buckley and maybe Graham could be considered for a senior call-up. If Carrazzo stumbles then you'd consider Cachia. Gulp, Watson might also be considered.
