Sometimes it's hard to tell from the stream but I'm pretty sure he wasn't on the field from the 2nd quarter onwards. Either that or he did a very good job of hiding his 200+cm frame in our forward line.

I'm pretty sure I saw him lumbering around in the front half of the ground during stages of the second half. I didn't wind up making it to Blacktown but watched the replay. I did notice that he touched the ball at one point but not enough to take possession or rack up a disposal. Overall his performance was dismal. He really didn't seem to know what to do and was outmanoeuvred (sheesh, that's a hard word to spell!) and was hesitant when the ball came near him. He couldn't seem to take advantage of his height and seemed uncertain of his positioning at all times. Unless he shows a LOT more along the way this year I can't see us keeping him on, even allowing for the fact that rucks take a long time to develop. Still, I am basing this assessment solely on this game and it clearly wasn't a good one for him and maybe he had an excuse. Also I think the players around him need to be helping him out wherever they can by telling him where to go and what to do.

Sammy Naismith on the other hand was great to watch. I hope he can really build his form and fitness and be ready to get a debut if Sink or Tip gets injured. If we do ship off Dx and Gy then I suppose another ruck may be on our shopping list in the next off-season. We would still have 4 but that seems to be the bare minimum a club has/needs and we are still casting around for some depth in this area (hence our recruitment of Gy in the first place).

Sammy Naismith ... be ready to get a debut

Already happened. Against Richmond in round 23 of 2014.

I liked what Ive seen of him this year, can see why he is rated by the coaching staff, just needs a good run with injuries and we could have a beauty on our hands.

The ressies generally have been very good this year, lots to look forward to, particularly the Irishman off HB.

From what I've seen, and it is only via streaming from 12,000km's away, is that he doesn't give 100% - 100% of the time. He picks and chooses.

Otherwise he looks a likely type.

O'Riordan is the most exciting player in the ressies atm.

[Bloody Hell]

And how @@@@ing quick is Wilson???

Has Newman superseded Marsh???

He possibly doesn't have the fitness base to given 100% all the time. He's only played a handful of games back after what has been almost two years with no continuity to his football. He needs a decent run of games with no more injury or sickness (his absence included a bout of glandular fever last year) before we can judge him on his consistency of effort.

Leo Barry was good as the invisible player when he played forward. I swear I saw him having a beer with the boys in the Southern Stand at the MCG, during the second quarter of a game.
