    Fairly uninspiring first quarter. Although it's nice to see Hickey back. He looks a touch rusty, but he's working his way into it. Also nice that Kirk and Cleary have had a fair amount of game time as inside mids. Both doing pretty well: better than the commentators, who have been constantly confused between Cleary and Crocker. Sheldrick probably our best.

      Nice tap by Hickey for a Sheldrick snap and goal.

        Sheldrick seems to be involved in everything so far. It would be good to see him called up in the seniors again.

            We have injuries but we are up against a side that did not win a game last year. Can someone tell me where we got this coach from? We don't know how to shepherd, we don't know how to use bodywork on your opponent, No fast flow on play, poor kicking and no creativity especially up forward.

              Another one of those quarters where the effort has been good, but disposals and cohesion have been ordinary. Sheldrick has been our best, but missing a few too many targets. Sheather had a good quarter on the half back flank, and I wouldn't mind him getting a run in midfield. Warner tends to look dangerous when he gets it. McAndrew and Hickey rucking well. Cleary looking pretty good at VFL level as an inside mid. For those a bit confused, he's nuggety looking guy, with the short dark hair, in number 65, that the commentators keep on calling Crocker. Curiously, they've also occasionally given that name to both Collis and Morrison. The real Crocker is the slim number 53 in defence, who they insist on calling Cleary.

                Agree totally.

                  Nice goal by Vickery, but I wonder if he was aiming for Owen in the square?

                    Hickey and Sheldrick should be ready to play AFL next week and I would also give HHK a shot.

                    Cooper Vickery finally coming alive. We have a few other players who might build into the season.Guys like Magor and Owen.

                      Sheldrick seems determined not to lose.

                        Now they've managed to call Geddes, Cleary.

                          I like some of what Owen has done today. Raw and a lot to develop, but something to work with.

                          Sheldrick into the seniors next week please. A lot to like.

                          Young Kirk has some real potential. Not looking overawed at all.

                            Good that things clicked for long enough to get in front at the final break. Like the way that Sheldrick has been going hard all day. Good work by Shipley in the lead up to the Hall-Kahan goal. And it appears that Kirk's improvement at academy level this year has been genuine, rather than just playing as an over-ager.

                              To be honest other than Sheldrick (and Hickey obviously) there is next to nothing in the VFL who is banging the door down to play senior football. Which is a scary prospect considering our performance last night...

                                Warner was good as well, looked a class above - so I think he's banging troy
