Number !.
We hate the Hawks!!!!!!
Tough and gutsy win.
Greenwood worked his way into the match.
He was tough in close and he got about 25 disposals.
Reid was off during the last quarter. If not injured he needs to come into the first.
Moore needs to learn not to go the speccy every time. He will get injured and he needs to improve his work on the ground.
I thought Manteit and Marsh were good.
Besides from a dodgy pass in the last the Berg was cool under pressure.
In fact the 3 above could really play in the future in our AFL side.
Armstrong, well he was Armstrong - he should change his name to good and bad!
Kennedy was great, he must have racked up a heap of disposals.
One last thing.
When we went lateral or backwards we got nowhere and when we took the game on ( Kennedy!!! ) we looked much better.

we don't eat our own at collingwood we just allow them to foul our nest.
Scharenberg was excellent. Was actually thinking that he never seems to make any mistakes, and then he went and kicked a shocking turnover that cost us a goal. Kid is all class and ready for action very soon.
Maynard and Marsh also good. Kennedy in and out of the game but generally lively.
Greenwood probably ready. Likewise Reid, if he hasn't done something to himself today.
Scharenberg: excellent skills. Never makes a mistake (except that one he did make). Would like to see him do more, other than a couple of nice marks late his game is too much like Armstrong's, a lot of short kicks that never miss a target.
Sinclair: a great game first back. Not a single mistake and looked ready for the seniors.
Reid: very good rebounding work but his marking and defensive work is not quite there. Hopefully more about him playing safe than any real rust.
Greenwood: quiet early but worked his way into it. His skills are ordinary but is a very good contested ball player. I think eventually only one of Greenwood or Adams will make our best 22, but this year at least Greenwood is in our best when ready.
Moore: will clearly be a gun. Still doesn't have the strength to finish off all of his work, but showing enough to say that he will be a quality player.
Kennedy: not one of his best games. Wouldn't expect a call up on today's performance.
Marsh: a bit of a nondescript game. Decent defensive work and a few clearing kicks but not much besides.
Maynard: I can see why he's close to selection. Strong at the ball and assured when he has it in hand. Would be a decent replacement for Ramsay in the seniors.

We wouldn't have gone out and got Greenwood if the coach didn't see him and Adams in the same side.
I think Greenwood did enough to get a call up to play the Dorks. Kennedy did too, but unless Blair gets dropped he won't get a game regardless of how well he plays.
I'm assuming Reid was rested in the last quarter, which means he won't play in the seniors next week. He'll have to play out a full VFL game before getting considered.
Moore is a beauty, but still looks a bit skinny for the seniors, unless he's played out on a wing (if such a position still exists?).
Schazza played his best game and I'm starting to see his talent. However, I reckon he still needs to play with a bit more urgency, if he's to get a senior call up. A mid sized defender needs to put his body on the line, and I am yet to see him do that. Still, he's a great reader of the play and he has very good disposal skills.....over 30 metres.
Marsh, Maynard and Sinclair (especially in the first half) played really well. Overall, it was a great display and shows we have genuine depth, with 3 or 4 players ready and good enough to play senior footy.

Can say the same for Young.
I need to see more of Greenwood play, but from previous performances he seems too similar to Adams with similar weaknesses.
I definitely think he's in our best for the next couple of years. But when our younger, better skilled players, start cementing their spots he may not be as automatic. The Roos considered him near their fringe and that's what could happen here as we improve. Right now though he'd be a valuable addition to the senior team.
Some valid points on Scharenberg by A_I and Rudie.
He played a very decent game and is clean and composed generally but where is the offensive run or piercing 50m kicks that open up the opposition and exposes them?
Still seems to be protecting the knee somewhat and isn't manic in a contested situation.
