Yes, it is, but so is the Suns team, and they've got a massive advantage in AFL experience, with the likes of Casboult, Ellis, Day, Sexton, McPherson, et al. Although it could be argued that most of those are a touch past their best, so it'll be interesting how our youngsters match up against them.

Looks like they're playing Green in defence and he's doing pretty well so far. It'll be interesting to see how that develops.Comment

Quite a competitive quarter, with a number of players doing pretty well. Probably the difference between the sides, was that the forward 50 entries for the Suns were a bit cleaner. Although, if the flags are any indication, they did have the wind advantage.Comment

I'm enjoying the game, despite the low scores and despite being a couple of points behind. Both teams are applying plenty of pressure, which is leading to the attacking forays being a bit chaotic, with both defences being on top.Comment

Very competitive game, glad to have a best full list .Francis - providing a lot intercepts
Ladhams - in everything but just lacks forward craft but really enjoying his effort
Sheldrick - is back and just needs to tidy up his ball use and he will get a senior game
Snell - can’t do much more love to see him get a sun in the seniorsComment
-
Snell is super clean and a good decision maker, both with and without the ball. Those two attributes alone will take him a fair way.'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment
-
Mitchell's hard running has been paying dividends for him lately.Comment
-
- Sheldrick getting a lot of it but poor disposal use. Hopefully just dusty from his time off.
- Francis looking great in defence as an inceptor. Surely he's not our answer....
- Umpiring and our goalkicking keeping the Suns into itComment
-
We should be well in front, goal kicking is off, is a club thing lol ????- Buller worling himself into the game - Edwards could have something but very hard to tell against smaller and weaker opponents. Hope we can get the winComment

Hamling bloody hell !
Could Snell replace one of Cunningham or Lloyd ?Comment
-
Just noticed that Nic Shipley is the runner. So I assume he's had some sort of persistent injury?
And nice work by Buller for that Konstanty goal.Comment
-
Sheldrick really grabbed back the momentum then.Comment

Anyone at the game can do an update on who played well?Comment

The draw was probably a fair result, with the game being a strongly fought and even contest throughout. I thought plenty of players did well.
Sheldrick was probably our best. He clocked up plenty of contested possessions, effectively harassed the Suns mids and was particularly important for our inside game, after Cleary was held over at half time. Perhaps our next best was Mitchell, who both ran hard when on the wing and won plenty of contests when playing more of an inside role. Also winning plenty of hard ball was young Ben Edwards. For a VFL listed player, 25 possessions was a very good haul, and I think his tough, in and under competitiveness, is starting to give him a good chance of a promotion to the rookie list.
In defence, I thought Snell, Will Edwards and prior to being switched forward, Francis, were all very good. Francis also snapped an important late goal.
Up forward, Konstanty would have pleased the coaches with his 3 goals and game high 6 tackles. Buller was pretty good in his return. Although he looked a bit rusty early, he worked his way into the game and could have kicked 3 or 4, if it wasn't for team mates spoiling him in marking contests and giving away frees when he had his opponent beaten. Ladhams was the main offender there, but unlike the last game, he didn't do anything offensively stupid. He actually had a pretty good game, in that he got to plenty of contests, but couldn't quite capitalise.Comment
