It was a bit of an uneventful 2nd half but overall there was a lot of good signs from a few new faces and a few that look to be emerging in new roles.
Now bring on the real stuff and lets see how we go!

I don't recall seeing Reid on the field after halftime. I hope that was a planned thing and not some innocuous injury, that lasts for most of the season?
Blakey will play round 1. His sure handling of the ball and general athleticism helps plus he is a very good kick!
Couple of negatives - Ronke just average, Reid needs more time, and I think Hayward is a bit lazy - but he can play for sure.
Positives - Aliir shows his versatility again, Clarke is very handy - not great - but can play a role, Dawson and O'Riordan were good.
They said on MMM that he was not injured and was rested.....Originally Posted by dejavoodoo44
In his civvies at end of the game. Pointing to his ribs
Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.
Did Jones also sit out the second half? He was still in his playing gear at the final siren (unlike the polo shirt clad Reid) but I don't recall seeing him much - if at all - after half-time.
Blakey is a great kick, courageous, and a good decision maker - my favourite characteristics in a footballer.
Agree with your positives.
Some others:
- Parker played very well
- Thurlow looks like he can do a job
- McInerney is the kind of intelligent utility we've needed. Kind of reminds me of Mattner.
I feel that Hayward and Ronke haven't quite found (or been given) their role.
Reid Jones McVeigh and Heeney did not play the last quarter.
I think that he played a few minutes in the third quarter? But I could be wrong?
Reid and Jones both 51% TOG
Me too. I see his brother Ben has again picked up another soft tissue injury hurting his quad today in a VFL practice match! Geez those brothers are unlucky!

Clarke knows how to find the ball. Also butchers it a lot but his disposal improved as the game progressed. I don't see him as a step down from Hannebery last few years so feels like a win even before factoring in age.
Rowbottom looks like a player. Blakey could be anything. Has so much presence.
Weak opposition so thard to judge our performance.
