He looks a flatout forward runner to me, has some assets but decision making doesn't appear to be one of them.

Hard to tell early given his injury issues but class normally makes itself evident early and I don't see much pure class in him.

Not sure why De Goey disappointed you he at least has some vision.

Moore has elected to lose his feet on couple of occasions at least one of them directly costing a goal.
Because he looks further from good senior footy than I expected. He's got talent but he's certainly not standing out so far.

We are really missing a few senior VFL players. Kmart and Fergie just did the right thing in a predictable manner. Abbott looks OK but he is on his paddy Malone.

Tend to think the more open nature of senior footy would suit him more to be honest, he's not gonna get it 30 times yet but what he gets he'll use well.

Great reading of the play and attack on the ball by De Goey.

Bombers turn it over, De Goey picks it off, off to Williams, who runs in and PUTS IT THROUGH!

FINALLY!

27-41.

So would I, but it appears that they are putting development ahead of results.

Terrific defensive play by Marsh to push his man out of the way but PKs disposal was woeful. He is getting a bit of it as he is playing loose at half back.

Great mark to Witts in the goal square - and goals.
