Thanks ugg, always value your work, even when we lose!

[Scottee]

Best Players: J. Lloyd, J. Lockyer, S. Biggs, H. Cunningham

Yeeps, looks like they didn't think much of Towers' game after all.

Interesting. The commentators in the live stream were saying that BJ was clearly the best in front of Towers

The "bests" in the reserves rarely seems to equate to the players who had the most apparent impact on the game. I suspect there is a bit of reward for "playing your role" and a bit of encouragement going on with the naming of the bests.

That said, it is good to see Harry's name on the list. I wonder how close he is to full fitness after his knee injury. We badly need to gamble on one of the newbies with pace in the senior team until Jetta is fit again. Brandon didn't disgrace himself in the quarter he played against the Crows, but I reckon he really needs another pre-season or so to build up his body strength before he is ready to really make an impact. Harry is a more solid build, is a year older, and while not quite as quick as Jack, he does have some zip about him. Would love to see him get a go in the seniors sometime soon.

Wouldn't put too much trust in their opinion since they regularly mixed up swans although they did a much better job than the Canberra based commentators

good to see Towers playing more upfront !!

I know it is a massive call but Brandon is on track to being a serious Senior level player in a season two

he has taken to AFL within 3yrs or so of playing like a Swan to a lake !!!

[Melbourne_Blood]

Yeah he does look good in that video, could be something special

[wolftone57]

He is developing very nicely. I am peeved I won't get to see him play this week as the Twos are at Blacktown. All the Twos are developing very well. I noticed in the last two games Deano has been good and last week Dick seems to have got involved. Marsh seems to be getting a bit and seems a very strong mid. Of course you Lloydy is a gem too. Biggs just keeps on, so consistent.

In the words of Kath Day..."I like what I see"

[magic.merkin]

Jack looking good.
