Dwyer didn't go hard enough. Costs a goal.

Loving it, MOTR.

Perfect grunt machine replacement for Ball.

He's good enough to play AFL but will probably have to look elsewhere at the end of the season for that to occur.
If we lose Martin, I will seriously unload on Buckley and our list managers.
Martin will probably want to leave for more opportunity if someone offers him a lifeline.

You and me both probably believe he's better than Blair but don't tell anyone else. :wink:

Rubbish free against Brown. He hit him hard, but it wasn't high.

Brown almost rips Mellington's head off, free kick.

But Mellington misses.

32-15.

Actually doing well.

Got exposed on one occasion against Kefford, where they goaled, but has otherwise been okay. I like the move myself.
Crikey how many defenders do you want? :P
I'm thinking more along the lines of giving a raw player a chance to develop. Long term, I certainly see him playing forward or on the wing.

Seedsman doesn't even make the distance from inside 50 on the run. Strong breeze.

Marley is a clear step above this level. Hasn't been BOG or anything, but every time he gets near it something good happens.

Brown goes the switch to Dwyer.

Off to Marley, who spears it low inside 50, Karnezis marks on the lead.

And from 40m, DIF, PK slots it! GOAL!

39-15.
