Do we thank Smack for getting injured? Was the turning point of the game, with Draper moving from CHB to near-permanent ruck.
Thanks for the great commentary as always, The.
Did Draper just have a Ryder- A Day moment??
When he was called on to deliver through necessity, he rose to the challenge and just found out heās more than capable??
Sounds like one of those major mental development/breakthrough games.
Letās hope it stays that. Is it too crazy to think he could be putting pressure on luey by the end of the year?
Who were best players?
Yes. Heās a project player. He has quite a way to go yet. Today was very encouraging though.
Hind.
Iād give him a crack in the seniors before gleeson
Hind did a legendary run from the circle shimmied, sidestepped and delivered to tbell. Goal! . Play of the day. Wsphu
I understand that but if we arenāt finals bound it would be good to get him get some games. In that sense I suppose I donāt mean so much putting pressure on, more, deserving of an opportunity.
Itās a fairly prevalent view amongst fans that Draper was better in the ruck than tbell
In Q2 Tbell had a rest, Draper went into the ruck and we started winning clearances on the back of Draperās hitouts to advantage. After that tbell only took the ruck contests in F50. Draper also won clearances, took a handfull of marks around the ground.
Draper was in our bests again and might even get bogā¦
How was Morgan??
Things that were never said about Gach Nyuon. Hell of an effort from the kid.
How did Hocking, Howlett & Stants go?
Not quite Van Unen invisible today but did nothing to suggest heāll be a player.
Going⦠goingā¦
Sounds as if Redman was OK?
Thanks guys
Hocking hard in the contest off half back and through the midfield.
Bobcat got a lot of ball around hff and through the midfield and kicked 4 behinds which were gettable
Stants would not be happy with his game. He seems all at sea as a defender tbh.
Francis would also be unhappy with his game. Injured? Out of form? Doesnāt seem to be Switched on ???
Francis should be playing across half-back. Almost Hurley all over again trying to turn a natural defender into a forward. He does enough things to show he will be a fine player, but they are too few and far between at present.
Believing the hype train?
