Watched most the stream which was good. Missed the last Q, cos the seniors were on.

Abbott did kick a 7th in the 3rd, but up didn't pay the advantage to the free.

Reid and Schaz were very solid. Marsh similar but his kick g let him down on occasion.

Moore didn't look like a natural forward to me. He was a target, but just seemed in wrong position more often than not. I guess most his footy is down back and 1 game isn't necessarily enough time to make the change.

Abbott is a beautiful kick at goal. Kicked one from 50m near the boundry like it was 30m DIF.

Greenwood played just under the last 3Qs. I thought he started the run of goals in the 3rd with some good centre clearances then moved deep forward for a lighter load.

Young was underwhelming for me.

Bull Abbott good for a run as a sub? Looks like he could have an influential quarter or two in him.....

So is Reid right For seniors after the bye?

Does Greenwood need another run?

Does the VFL have a bye next week?

Doubt we'd do it but it's certainly not a dumb idea. However, if he keeps putting in dominating displays through the second half of the year, you never know. I guess the risk is an early injury to a player forcing him to play more than a quarter, but as his fitness builds that risk is lessened. Would be a real weapon, IMO.
kill for collingwood!

Been Playing and Training as a Defender ever since he Joined the Club.

Would want to see him play more as a Forward and Train as a Forward before making any call on that.

Was very good up Forward in the TAC Cup Final Series.

Has amazing Forward Pressure for someone just about 200cm's

Doubt It. When Gault is Back he go back to back line Sadly :(

Would love him to stay Forward

Saw 1st Half and here are some of my Thoughts:

Best I seen of Maynard. Got Involved and used the Ball Very Well

Scharanberg played well and just so Cool with Ball in Hand.

Great to see Moore up Forward. Looked like someone who has not played Forward for a While but Competed very well. His Forward Pressure is Insane for some just about 200cm

Did not see Much of Greenwood but sound he was Huge in the 2nd Qtr

Cox looked better then last week

Did not see much of Abbott in 1st Half

Why do you have a picture of Dobby's first born as an avatar? :shock: :?
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
