Looks the goods. Young bloke also might not have got much sleep with Big Beamish having two women on the go

Looks the goods.

He laid a few good tackles. His disposal was fairly poor as was his contested situations. I'm hoping that was first game nerves. We'll have a better idea of whether he "looks the goods" after a few more games.

[magic.merkin]

his first disposal was a quick handpass under pressure on the forward 50 that resulted in a goal from IRL memory. i have dowloaded the game, so will refer to the tapes.

otherwise yeah, he looked a bit cautious. especially the one where him his man, and Micky and his man were running towards goal with a loose ball, it seemed his first reaction was to go for it, saw Micky had second thoughts, and then tried to lay a sheppard to late. resulted in a turn over.

but they have to learn

Could also be the change in tempo to the ressies.

If it is the same disposal I recall, you are right about the handpass, but it went to Jude, who ran into a tackler and got pinged for HTB. Unless that wasn't his first possession, it was the first one I noticed.

I realised about half time that a lot of the time what I thought was Kirk was actually O'Dwyer.

I laughed when I watched Fox Sport news yesterday and overnight when they had the 'Barry Hall is back' stories, every single shot of him at training had MOD a metre away.

When he came out of the race, MOD came out next to him. When he was running laps bouncing a ball, MOD was running laps next to him. When he was leaning on the fence having a giggle, MOD was giggling next to him.

They're obviously good mates as well as housemates, Hall asking to go to Melbourne to watch his debut and all.

It just amuses me, it has a touch of 'Spike' the bulldog and 'Chester' the terrier in the old Looney Tune cartoons.....

Wasn't that Moore?

/must watch tapes asap, my mind seems to not be what it used to be.

Thats the speed of the game. What i liked was he kept at it and did the Bevopercenters - tackled well and chased.

So when is little Chester going to give big Spike a back hander and take over the billing as top dog.?

[swantastic]

Oh, save me

Well Bevo is the yard stick of the young fellas.

[dimelb]

Didn't do a lot, didn't get a lot of time, but what he did was generally pretty good. Hope he keeps going for a few more games in the ones.
