That's what Lockyer said.

Don't know what's going on there, but Tarks definitely said him and Fas were "done for the day".

Bombers open us up through the corridor too easily (what's new?)

Yagmoor, having a good final term for a bloke supposed to be done for the day, spoils it over.

70-50.

Thanks for the coverage, MB - I was just too miserable about last night to roll up. Hope you saw some good signs?

Well, that takes a little bit of the sting out of last nights embarrassment.

Saw the 2nd half so didn't have a team sheet.

However, who stood out for me included:

Dwyer (I presume his first game back & being eased in) looked a cut above a lot of the time when he was near the ball.

Yagmoor looked OK.

Hudson vs little opposition looked OK

Keefe in patches marked, spoiled & kicked really well.

Blair again in patches looked good

Marsh , more raw than dark green bananas but can be amazingly explosive.

Armstrong showed bits. Good kick both feet but under pressure decision making is less than good.

Lynch: reliable

Josh Thomas - he's a good player. We missed him too last night

Drove there today from the inner south east suburbs (South Caulfield), usually ride my bike. Bike is more convenient & not much time difference between the two & could be quicker depending on traffic which was pretty bad.

I must remember to bring my pooch when I drive. It's a really good casual venue these days.

Nice coupla hours topped off with a bowl of Pho in Victoria Street.

My Thoughts:

Marsh did some promising things. Outside of Forward work I like his rundown on Tupwatti
Fasolo is all Class
Thomas used ball well
Keffe was Solid

I must be hearing things then, because I distinctly head him say Yagmoor and Fasolo.

I will bow to your superior knowledge, though, JW.
