Unwin the solo AFL defender to start this quarter.

Great work with the updates lads. Sucks for 2MP, hope it’s not too serious.

How’d Zak J go this quater, sounds like he dominated the first. Will likely run out of legs as he hasn’t had a pre season.

Unwin sleepy, concedes easy mark.

Luckily a VFL player has the saving mark on the goal line.

He has the kind of skill set and athletic attributes that really allow him to play in every third of the ground. Speed, vertical leap, marking prowess, ability to dart his kicks. So I’d keep an open mind and play him in whatever role we think he can help the AFL side in. If Duursma got injured (which he regularly does) bring him in on a wing. Same goes with Shiel or if Shiel’s form deteriorates. I guess the only thing I’d need to see a bit more of to form a complete opinion of him would be his one on one contested work under pressure in defence.

Pies have an extra defender 30m behind everyone else. No one tell them THEY have the wind.

Nguyen sure knows how to get involved. He doesn’t have much problem getting his hands on it.

Sensational unforced drop by a Pie 49m out, and we take it all the way to Gerryn.

Nguyen has serious wheels. Runs away on the wing and spots up a teammate inside 50 who boots a goal.

Nguyen from the wing sprints and hits Edwards. And then to the leading Eckersley, and lovely set shot.

Lual on the other hand, I’m just not sure has it. He tries very hard but just seems to lack the ability to make good decisions under pressure. Lacks footy IQ. And ball use iffy.
