Since we were so unfairly robbed of our forum over the weekend to wax lyrically about what was - IMO - our best win of the season thus far given the missing personnel, there's only been limited comments on the game itself.
Thought I would make some comments about the contributions made by some of our younger players - nothing overly profound but worth putting down in B&W.
Schneider - was tagged for most of the game by Rogers, a player who has, in previous seasons, been given the job of quietening players like Kelly. Was very interested to see how he'd cope and was very pleasantly surprised by the end. He finished up with 13 possessions (probably a little higher than his average, though he did get more game time than normal) and as per normal, most of them were pretty constructive.
Sunny - didn't spend much time on the ground but his fourth quarter was as good as the third quarter he played against the Dees at the end of last season. Real shame he didn't nail that final kick on goal because he deserved to get one. Delivered a couple of beauties into the forward line and doesn't seem to be afraid to tackle.
LRT - that paddling of the ball in front of the goal square before handballing off to Fossie for the final goal was superb. Looks like he has great skills below the knees as well as being a fine mark.
And on the subject of the younger players, check out this article from the Herald Sun.
