Training for DRAFT PICKS!!!!
- Thread starter caesar
- Start date
Only problem for Riley was Ross I would say put his hand up; for selection round 1 with his performance, I thought Dow was unbelievable for 2 quarters when lining up in center in clearances, for a quarter they had him at half forward and was non existent. Will Martyn was also good so all of a sudden they have the jump on Riley.
If one of Ross Dow Martyn or Riley could prove they can be damaging resting forward that would be massive but at the moment they all look they want to be pure midfielders.
I am guessing that'd be why they rested fwd etc, to see how they go on thier own in the middle & see who can be damaging up fwd.
Aren't ya both supposed to make sure you've got your stories down pat before ya sign the statements?
Thanks for the reports and pic's, great stuff.
Might be just me, but I'd much prefer it if they mixed the squads up a bit for the intra club games. Playing the hopefuls against the premiers is always going to be a lop sided game n makes it almost impossible for the young hopefuls to step up n show their capabilities when they are so far under the pump.
Would prefer it if both sides were reasonably balanced in experience n talent n make a genuine contest out of the game.

Never Castagna vs Dusty.
There will be No more Norm Smith for Dusty.
Dusty was lucky in 19, Castagna couldn't kick straight otherwise it could possibly be Sir George Castagna.
There's a reason Dusty's got three Normies n George has got none. Dusty picks goals out of his date. Georgie kicks goals like the Cho man, the easier the shot the harder to watch.
They played on different teams, Balta in yellow didnt do a great deal as it wasn't down there often.
Kapsy in the red team saw plenty down his end
Yeah it's abit of both for me.
On the one hand it would be good to make it a bit easier for the young guys by "mixing it up" but on the other hand it is a great opportunity.
I went well as a junior cricketer, even stepped up against the local seniors then I lucked in with a spot in a charity game that involved the best of the best... Walters, Chappell, Thompson... Walters effortlessly sent my deliveries for sixes and although I survived an over against Thomo I shat my daks and was put in my place but I took away so much and returned to my local comp a much better player.
Look at our women, so far they have only played good sides and although they haven't won a game yet I think their game is all the better for it.
With the best coaches in the land at their disposal I have no doubt our kids have taken a lot out of the game especially from a front row seat.
Was thinking the same TM... guess they feel getting team patterns and moves working is more important than having a more even competition in the game. Our senior team is very mature of course so I guess they trust them to step up in real competition pretty easily.
