Whenever I've watched Mal play reserves, his position has been "everywhere". He would typically take a kick-in from a behind, line up another couple of times in the chain of possessions up the ground, and then land up in the forward 50 before the ball to accept a mark and a shot on goal.

I really like the sound of this:
Mike Pyke kicked a major as a result of his follow-up after a ruck contest.
Sounds as if he is getting to know where the ball might be.
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

Or a very ordinary Amon Buchanan and he's a bit taller.The ever-optimistic official report is that he'll be back in 3 or 4 weeks.
(PS Did the fact that Tim Schmidt's career is over, pass entirely unannounced? I didn't realise it until now. Unfortunate bloke; perfect example of the principle that an entire career can turn on a bit of good or bad luck at a crucial time.)
The lesson from this game, should be 'get Laidlaw in the goddamn side, already'. On the limited evidence I've seen, he's a better player than his contemporaries Thornton and Brabazon. He's played 5 seconds games now, so no question as to his match-fitness. And he's been in the best players in most of them. There's also a ready swap, with Meredith due to be rested.Comment

Gee I forgot about Ablett. Surely laidlaw must get a gig ahead of these 2 blokes, who by now must have run out of credits.Comment
