Sheesh, what a hot and cold performance from the side and many players (of course!). We met a very typical G Ayres coached Port, persistent and consistent.
I really felt for H as delivery to him was simply appalling, he was never going to get any confidence through grabbing a few with how it came to him.
One minute I was thrilled by Pickett's dash and dare and skills, then it was either, 'oh no' or 'where is he?'
Casey aint gonna learn much more surrounded by a rabble, time for a recall. His poise will be valued.
I thought Smedts was 'nearly' there. You can see something there. Just have to drill him hard to get quicker and better reflex reactions... at present he has the reaction time of a dinosaur.
Best game I've seen from JG-M for a long while. Showed promising glimpses.
Lucas MK II (Boekhorst) was really good and hopefully will continue to play well so we might actually get a 3rd rounder for him at year's end. 'Tell Baggers he's dreaming'... I hear from the stands.
Kerr shows enough to be cautiously optimistic, you can see the disciplined improvement in his game.
Polson is toughening up nicely.
O'Shea stating a good case for rookie consideration.
Hard to find anything promising with the rest.
