Round 7: Canberra Demons v Sydney Swans Reserves @ Manuka Oval

[Ludwig]

I wonder if O'Riordan is injured. Only 4 disposal and no tackles for the game.

One thing I noticed with the app is that it often stops recording half way through the 4th qtr.

Dawson having a blinder?
O'Riordan injured? (Hardly any stats.)

arwon on Twitter did say O'Riordan possibly injured in the first quarter.

I was going to say we are fielding a strong team this week with more listed players than other weeks. And so it is proving, it seems.

Good to see Robbo is back. And it seems he is performing ok too!

Yes, on paper, I suspect that it's the strongest NEAFL side that we've fielded in a long time.

And with 37 possessions, I'm guessing that Dawson was mainly playing as an outside mid, instead of up forward?

Breakout game by Dawson by the looks of it. 37 disposals.

Thanks for detailed updates ugg!

Thank you ugg - fine job as usual.

The thing that jumps out in those stats is Dawson 8 tackles. Is that correct???

A guy that big applying that kind of pressure is outstanding. Was he playing midfield?

Yep 8 tackles, 37 Disposals, 2.2

Dawson has been playing as a genuine midfielder this year - inside and outside. He's started in the square at plenty of bounces.

While he obviously had a good game (at least stats wise), I don't think it's one out of the box for him. He's been racking up good numbers all year, and usually contributing with a couple of goals too.

It looks like we'll soon have genuine competition for positions in the senior team, which has to be a good thing. Dawson, Newman, Robinson, Aliir, Rohan and Tippett will all be eyeing off a spot in the senior team, while we have Jack due to resume in the next couple of weeks.

Agree Liz. Dawson played mids last season a few times too. A 190cm Mid is handy. Takes a really good mark too. You are so right about competition for spots. Some of the out of form players had better pull their socks up or they will be kicking up the dew next week.

?Best players J.Dawson, K.Tippett, A.Aliir, J.Laidler, B.Jack, M.Talia?

Funny about Talia. Arwon really bagged him. Said he was miles off senior footy.

Tippett and Aliir, at least, should be ready to come in next week.

Dawson looks a real find. Has plenty of class and doesn't shirk the hard stuff. Good size, very good skills and and a good decision maker as well.

[bloodspirit]

Yes, thanks to the new recruits and development of players like Newman, Melican and Dawson it looks like we do actually have better depth this year. It just hasn't been evident due to all our players injured and returning from injury.

I have written off finals this year but still feel the future is bright (to the extent people are bringing this up as a factor why Jones/Reid might/might not re-sign). Looks like our best shot at winning a NEAFL premiership yet anyway!

Agree this looks like AA and Tippett may be recalled next week. Handy ins if they're playing well since we'll have our work cut out against St Kilda.
