    I'd expect that too. But then having Kurt and Cameron both play the whole game as well - in these conditions - seems like a strange choice. I'd be resting Tippo.

        Cameron is a better mark then Sinclair, Tippett and Reid.

            I agree with the first 66.67% (approximately) of this statement.
            My opinion is objective truth in its purest form

                I really like the look of Cameron and I think Florent is going to be something.
                He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.

                  Tippett is a better mark than Reid.

                  Melican looked the part. Hewett has developed well. Buddy looks fit. Towers looked much improved and ran out the game well. We were hard at it. Good signs.

                    Yes, Melican was a bit of a surprise packet and I did enjoy Hewett's work in close.

                      I noticed on the AFL website that Towers kicked two goals. OK, only a preseason game, but an indicator of what's possible?
                      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)

                        Yes, I thought Towers was good tonight.

                            Melican had a really decent game I thought. Some more good signs from Cameron too, clunking a couple of good grabs.

                            A scrappy old game, but some good signs - impressed by Buddy on his first game back, he did well!

                              Yes, that Franklin kid is showing a bit of promise. And it's interesting that none of us has mentioned just how imperious Mills was in difficult conditions. It seems that we just expect it.

                                At the AFL level, his goals seem opportunistic. Still a little slow with his decision making. But hard to tell in today's conditions
